New Game - Transmogrify

Jagex have today released a new game called ‘Transmogrify‘. This was included in promotional screenshots before FunOrb was released, but was held back for its launch.

Official description:
“Transmogrify is an exciting word-based game, which will test your anagram-finding skills to the max! Beginners can aim to race the clock or rack up a high variety bonus; experienced players can aim to do both at the same time, and everyone can seek that elusive 12-letter word!

“Bonus points will be given to those who create the longest and most varied words.”

FunOrb Announced on RuneScape.com

Jagex today announced FunOrb on RuneScape.com, their MMORPG website with millions of visitors. This should draw in many more users to FunOrb, and hopefully activity will see a considerable increase.

This is the entry taken from RuneScape.com:

You may have heard of FunOrb but know very little about what it involves. Well, it’s a new website that we’ve released, offering a great selection of browser-based games that we’ll be adding to regularly!

You’ll find a variety of free games on offer, from fast and furious platformers to gloriously over-the-top shooters; from intense turn-based strategy games to brainbusting puzzles. Each of them are deep and massively enjoyable, enticing you to give them ‘just one more go’.

If you have a RuneScape account then you can go to the FunOrb website, sign in and start playing immediately! This is because FunOrb is setup very similarly to RuneScape - each game has a ‘free’ element that can be played until you decide to become a member. Free players get highscores tables and some Achievements, while those who subscribe to FunOrb get access to full games, all Achievements, multiplayer games, a fullscreen mode and FunOrb Forums.

We also have extra website updates and games planned for the future, with new content every two weeks!

There are also features available for current RuneScape players. You can sign in to FunOrb with your RuneScape account, keeping the same Friends List and Ignore List. This means you can chat to friends across both games and even see which game they are playing (and trying to beat your score)!

What is more, RuneScape members can purchase a combined membership package for both FunOrb and RuneScape at US$7, or £4.60, when paying by credit card. That’s only $2 more than your usual RuneScape membership! A FunOrb account on its own costs US$3 or £2 by credit card.

Our Rules now apply to both RuneScape and FunOrb. Rulebreakers will find that their punishments are effective on both sites.

Some of you have asked whether you can mention FunOrb on RuneScape Forums. Since we can guarantee that FunOrb is a secure site, you are free to talk about FunOrb on suitable RuneScape Forums and RuneScape on suitable FunOrb Forums.

We would also like to take this opportunity to say that FunOrb, although a product of Jagex, will not impact on our RuneScape updates. You will still be receiving the same quantity and quality of updates that you always have. There are separate teams dedicated to producing the very best content for FunOrb, so you can expect many more superb games in the future.

Pre-Release Video

FunOrb World has decided to create a late teaser video just before FunOrb is released. It contains in-game screenshots and video footage. Hopefully it will encourage excitement and anticipation for its launch at the end of the month.

Official Jagex YouTube Channel

It appears that Jagex have launched a new YouTube channel called “The Jagex Channel”. It contains the latest FunOrb footage from the company themselves.

Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/user/thejagexchannel

Hold on tight everyone - the release should be soon!

FunOrb World in Google

Daniel — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:15:48 +0000

After concentrating on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) over the past few days, FunOrb World has finally obtained a strong position in Google. On Google.com we are now second in the rankings, down from the original article posted days before FunOrb World was launched.

To our surprise, FunOrb.com has now disappeared out of Google. This is because it has not been updated since mid-January. Google prioritizes websites with frequent changes. We have no doubt that once Jagex release the website, it will become top once again.

As long as FunOrb World constantly adds new content, we should be able to hold our position.

FunOrb World Launched!

Daniel — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:00:23 +0000

With the release of FunOrb just around the corner, we have decided to make preperations ready for its arrival. We will supply you with the latest news, information, help, guides, pictures and much more!

A fan site for an arcade website is unchartered territory. Whether or not it will be successful, we’ll have to see. Hopefully we can rely on Jagex to bring this new innovation to success. With the release of a new game every “2 weeks”, we can be sure to have plenty to cover.
