Your role will primarily be to build creatures, shape virtual worlds, design quests and storylines for our new, undisclosed game.
Jagex has registered the Trademark 'MechScape' according to this http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tm/t-find/t-find-adp?propnum=0820133001government website. (Down at the time of posting).
They have also registered the following domain names (some as far back as 2003):

It looks like they are registering nearly every possible domain for a scam site, fansite or gold selling site.
Thomas Woode: http://www.tomwoode.com/ (Jagex's Lead Concept Artist for the new MMORPG) released some Concept Artwork: http://www.tomwoode.com/concept.html , which includes two pieces that have the Jagex copyright on them. Here: http://mechscape.googlepages.com/space_ships1.jpg/space_ships1-full.jpg and here: http://www.tomwoode.com/images/concept/big/space_ships2.jpg
It seems shortly Jagex will also be releasing the 'FunOrb' arcade, containing Jagex's old multiplayer and arcade games. Source: http://forums.rsbandb.com/about54415.html

And a whole new bunch of true and good info can be found here, they update permantly, and is mechscapes first fansite (before it comes out lol)

I would be weary of any sites or players that offer 'beta signups' for the new game. They are scams, as Jagex would release the Beta on their Corporate Site: http://jagex.com/index.ws
