Dear Reader,

Please read this mail properly, as there are a couple of good arguments in it, i friendly ask you to actually think about it, and not just click "delete" or send me a copied email back that you sent to everyone mailing you about private server copyright.
I also apologize for any grammatical mistakes, I myself am dutch, Although i do try my best on writing as proper Englsh as possible.

I am Pim de Witte, I live in the Netherlands and I am the owner of www.soulsplit.com.

I came up with an idea that might change the way people look at JaGex dramatically, because JaGex has great people working at them and that should be shared with the world.
This idea has to do with a certain way of approaching Private servers in a different way then current Gaming Company and Software developers do it.
I have a huge impact on the RuneScape Private Server community, i am basically an example for the owners of private servers and i have a lot of experience, and a lot of players, and that's why i think i could help you
realise this idea.
Soulsplit has been up for 1 and a half year.

If you agree with my idea, we will expend to different revisions as well, this will result in our total player count to raise dramatically..
We are planning on taking over the majority of RSPS by hosting high-quality servers with good management and programmers.

I have recently called you about my idea about RuneScape Private Servers.
Other gaming companies (Blizzard) are "fighting" against them, now I came up with the following idea:

Why don't you (Starting with soulsplit) make personal contracts/deals with large Private servers allowing them to host their(or you may call them your) game client in return for a share of the profit.

These days there is a lot of money going around in RuneScape private servers, myself i think the amounts that i sell items for in my Item Shop are insane (27K USD), and must be shared with the original owner of the content who made this all possible for us.
I am not sure if you knew this already, but sharing profits with these servers could result you in gaining a lot of extra money on monthly basis.
The majority of the people who play RSPS are no longer interested in RuneScape, that's why i think fighting against private servers does not result in anything good for RuneScape.
By doing this properly you can gain a lot of money from it , the last month I have raised $27 000 USD (Sales volume ) from soulsplit.com (which I think should be shared with JaGex).
You will basically give your people the oppertunity to run some kind of business, and sharing a certain percentage of the Sales volume (or profit) with JaGex, leading into a great learning experience for the developers and owners of the private servers, and some extra publicity for JaGex (since no other gaming company has done this before).

I do realise that sueing someone costs a lot of time and money for your company. This way will spare you a lot of time and will raise you money with basically having nothing extra to do.

I don't think you have anything to lose if we can make such a deal.
May you be interested in making some kind of contract/deal about this, please mail me back. I think this is very likely for you as well, because let's say i have to share 25% of my sales volume with JaGex , that will be $6750 a month.

Conditions will be:
Sharing a certain percentage(yet to be discussed) of the sales volume or profit with JaGex.
The client must be given to JaGex open source, to prove that there are no malicious items in it. If asked for this must also be done with the server.
I will program and manage everything myself or with my second developer, i will not ask for any help or code from JaGex.
I am not "working" for JaGex as an employee, i basically buy the rights to host my server for a certain share of my profit.


I have learned so much from this and I would hate to bring it down, simply because I love working with and for it so much
I spend 4-8 hours a day managing the server, in weekends I try to add content, I even hire a second developer because it is simply too much work for me on my own.

I hope you are interested in doing business.
