Jagex announces 8Realms, saying closed beta testing will begin on May 5 for this game, which they call "the future of empire-building strategy games," as it can be played from any internet-capable device, including smartphones. Here's a bit on the game: "In 8Realms players grow their empires from humble village to glorious dominions through eight ages of history. As players develop their settlement they will vie with others for control of precious resources, defend their interests against vicious hordes and research new technologies to ultimately reign supreme." The Eight Realms Website (they don't seem settled on whether it's 8Realms, 8 Realms, or Eight Realms) is online, and word is that players who "like" their Facebook Page will get a 24-hour head start on the beta.
