In his quest to draw  RuneScape gold inspiration from other MMOs however, the structure that was the basis of RuneScape was one he observed particularly closely, building out its world Melvor Idle, a world that is a parallel one to the 20-year-old RPG. "RuneScape was a fundamental reference point for the game since it was such a crucial games for me" He explains."

Like most I was one of them. I started playing RuneScape because the majority of my peers used to play it. The fact that it was an online game was a huge part of this. That ease of entry with RuneScape's branching depth and complexity kept me playing it over and over again which is exactly what I wanted to recreate with Melvor Idle."

With Malcolm himself transparent about his ideas the word quickly spread to Jagex that fan-made game based on their own MMO. A member of staff flagged it to the management team, with head of the product department Chris Pfeiffer telling us his team was impressed with "how much had been achieved and how much of it corresponds the game's core values with RuneScape."

"The vision for Melvor Idle is aligned with our core values about what makes a living game -- that's why it's a perfect fit to us" He says. "Furthermore the concept of offering someone in our local community the opportunity to participate is a great motivator for everyone at the company."

Pfieffer and his team members He and his team members tried Melvor Idle themselves and were pleasantly surprised enough that they reached out to Malcolm Pfieffer to talk about possibilities for working together early 2021.

"From the first conversation we discovered that Brendan shares Jagex's philosophy of community-driven games. He has done an outstanding job of creating a healthy and vibrant group of OSRS GP players about Melvor Idle. It's very rare to find such a natural fit when looking for publishing opportunities however Brendan and Melvor Idle are precisely that, and we jumped at the chance to help both him as well as the game completely.
