A big "Welcome!" to all of our Brazilian-Portuguese #RuneScape friends. Portuguese RuneScape is now available from www.runescape.com -Zapp


Olá! We’re pleased to announce that we have just released the RuneScape game and website in its fourth language: Brazilian Portuguese.

Whether you’re fluent in the language or just learning, you can give it a try by clicking on the Brazilian flag at the top-left of the website.

It's nice to see another language. It seems this may increase RuneScapes player base even more now more portuguese are likely to play.
Sparhawke
Cool, some more worlds to hide in along with the german worlds tongue.gif
Skiller Boy Young
Yay, now I can go to another world that everyone speaks portugeuse ohmy.gif.

JAGEX-Spanish next.

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

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

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. biggrin.gif

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.

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 smile.gif

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

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 tongue.gif

Mohorak
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.

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

Also isn't portuguese basically spanish with a wierd shouting accent?
Javisnake
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. mellow.gif .

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. tongue.gif

Yes, yes, aren't you clever. I saw that too- and read their intentions to set up Brazilian worlds.
Hilly
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?
KaBob799
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. tongue.gif

Don't forget the French biggrin.gif

I've already been on the Brazilian worlds twice for Slayer tasks tongue.gif 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. bleh.gif
I still think Portuguese is a lot like Spanish.
