Despite the apparent connection to Melvor Idle and RuneScape, and the involvement direct of Jagex in the game, the publisher decided to maintain the game as an original IP rather than make it the official RuneScape spin-off. This was in part acknowledgment that Malcolm was successful in a place that Jagex was unable to do so.

"We were actually looking at developing an idle RuneScape game several years ago, with RuneScape: Idle Adventures," Pfeiffer explains. "In Alpha, we stopped development and focused all our energy on core RuneScape games.

We have always believed that RuneScape's capabilities are endless in idle game space. Melvor Idle more than demonstrates that RuneScape can provide a thrilling idle game. But Melvor Idle stands up on its own merits as well as we wanted to stay faithful to the idea of games that Brendan first began creating the game."

Pfeiffer also cites the popularity of Melvor Idle as proof of how talent can be found in any game's community that Jagex has already seen. "We've always been able to find it to be the RuneScape group to be a great opportunity for talent at Jagex not only in terms of game developers but all the different roles within a games studio," he states. "RuneScape has had almost 300million accounts created over the course of more than 20 years buy rs07 gold, and the amount of people with talent who have played the game is huge."
