It's nice to see another language. It seems this may increase RuneScapes player base even more now more portuguese are likely to play.

Cool, some more worlds to hide in along with the german worlds

Yay, now I can go to another world that everyone speaks portugeuse .

JAGEX-Spanish next.

EDIT: I'm currently playing in Portugese . And thanks for fixing title from 'Runescape In Portugese, 23rd July 2009' to 'Runescape In Portuguese, 23rd July 2009' .

Yay! More less crowded worlds.
Good to see Jagex making more language based worlds.

Why are there no Dutch worlds, when we make up the largest part of RuneScape players after the English-speaking countries?

Most Dutch people can speak english or french though

Eeeeee, força Portugal.

now Micael Fatia will never stalk me any more.

Wish there were Chinese worlds, although the language would be hard to add.....I do not think protuguese is needed, spanish is much more commonly spoken isn't it.

I saw this yesterday, it was weird.
I went onto it and a java error came up.

Not really some words are different
This is great cause im Brazilian

i know right now when a world is crowded or were be hunted by mass amounts of people we can go hide in Portuguese worlds

French, german and portuguese, but no spanish! Spanish is way more used than those countries.

Poruguese speakers: Andorra, Gibraltar, Portugal, Brazil, Bermuda, Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Sao tome & Principe and East Timor.

Spanish Speakers: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guetemale, Honuras, Mexico, Nigaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela.

I think I've made my point

Yes but there are prominent Brazilian members of Jagex (Head of MechScape, for one), and I think also Brazilians make more per year individually than most in South American countries. Therefore, they would be more likely to buy membership or even just have an Internet connection.

Having said that, I would like a Spanish world because I know a little Spanish but would love to know more.
On the same note, I want a Latin world! With macrons!

If they make Chinese worlds, they can greatly increase their customer numbers. I have a couple friends in China that try to play RS but they say it's laggy as crap.

Have they tried the new India worlds?

Way to go Jagex, time to check out the worlds for myself.
Go go go Brazil@@@@

lol so true xD
but gonna be lots off ppl now...lets hide in french worlds x]

Cool but theres languages that should have been released before this tbh.

Also isn't portuguese basically spanish with a wierd shouting accent?

Woot! Portoguese Worlds! But... why there are not spanish worlds? I'm Costa Rican, and I know a lot people in RS who are from latin countries. I think spanish is way more used than portoguese. .

Just came out on the official site

It's like the difference between Latin and Italian, basically. To someone who doesn't speak either, the difference is indistinguishable.

Knew it! Saw positions for Brazillian translators open awhile ago.

Yes, yes, aren't you clever. I saw that too- and read their intentions to set up Brazilian worlds.

Technically, they aren't Portuguese worlds.
The Brazilian language is Brazilian-Portuguese, which isn't the same as Portuguese...

The difference is negligible. Almost all American players play on a UK English world, but they still understand it (besides that one guy on the rsof who ranted for a US English world), right?

Everyone should of known Portugese was next, its been on FunOrb for months =p
I'm guessing Finnish, Dutch, and Spanish might be coming next.
Finnish and Dutch because they have sections on the official RS Forums (Just like Portugese did) and Spanish because its so highly requested.

DID SOMEBODY SUMMON ITALIANS

(he's quite right. Spanish and Portuguese are radically different, but it's not too distinguishable for non-neolatin-languages speakers.)

I'm pretty sure that they don't just choose languages at random but rather check the actual numbers of accounts and connections coming from each country.

@Uther: wtf brazil no gud

I just got verified by a mod!

Don't forget the French

I've already been on the Brazilian worlds twice for Slayer tasks I noticed that Portuguese seems closer to French than Spanish, due to the special characters and stark similarity to some of the words (bones=Os in French, Ossos in Brazilian Portuguese). Is this right?

EDIT: 100 posts! Monkey status! Ook-ook ook!

Strange. I always thought French was the Romance Language that least ressembled the ones such as Portuguese and Spanish.
I still think Portuguese is a lot like Spanish.
@Dani: wtf brazil pwns

saweet!!!! Thats kewl, I have a friend that knows Portuguese.

Yes!!
Now I can speak in my mother tongue.

Nice runescape in Portuguese!

I'am Portuguese my self

i second that aha
