I deleted the remarks which were obscene towards Andrew Gower which were posted by a frustrated RuneScape player. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Draygen ( talk • contribs) 22:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC) And boast about it? 121.79.28.198 ( talk) 05:53, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
I have marked everything from "Creations and Programs" down as needing clean-up due to the following reasons
You mention that information was gotten from his personal website? Where is this website exactly?
Xharock 15:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
His website was available through archive.org recently, but it was blocked for a reason I'll need to check out. I wish the site was still there, as thats where I got almost all this information. (from when I originally re-created this article, 95% of it still being there) ~ rih29 19:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
whats his middle name?
How's http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/1999-2000/weekly/5816/25.html for a source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.136.55 ( talk) 23:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that perhaps this page ought to either be a) protected or b) deleted entirely? The latter is another discussion, but it seems the only edits to this page at all in the last month or two have been vandalism or reversions of such.— chris.lawson ( talk) 03:09, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
I think it should be protected, because this should not have to change very much. It is about a person, not a current event. This is not just a normal everyday person, it is the creator of one of the largest mmorpg's out there. -- cattrain 01:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I recreated this page with enough information to qualify. I included lots of information about Andrew and DeviousMUD! If this page is vandalized, I would like it to be protected. ~ Rih29 06:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Whats that monster game that Andrew Gower made before Runescape its one where you create your own monster and you battle to make it better...any ideas anyone?
I have just spent a considerable amount of time with google and the wayback machine attempting to find references for this article. I've been through it a sentance at a time!, and have succesfully managed to find sources for most the key facts. The remaining stuff which was completely unatributable (and hence original research) I have removed, but I think the page is looking fairly good now if a little short. Before readding further facts please make sure they are properly referenced, and non-trivial. Thanks 85.211.227.3 22:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed it's almost impossible to find a picture of him, even on Google. Is it possible to get a picture here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.49.1.207 ( talk) 16:59, 9 June 2007
Is he really particularly notable? He's started a company that makes a major MMORPG- ok, but does anything establish his notability? OSborn arf 22:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
http://www.dulcenegosyante.com/top-20-internet-millionaires-under-30/ lists Andrew Gower as worth $650M (£331M). How reliable is this source? -- RS Ren ( talk) 21:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
"Between 1995 and 1996 Andrew created Doom II."
I was about to revert this, but I wanted to ask first:Did Andrew Gower really help create Doom II? I know for a fact he didnt "create" it, but still, I was wondering if this was vandalism or not.-- Roflthatnoobgotowned ( talk) 01:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Only Vertigo remains on the main Jagex's website. The rest of the games have been improved and moved to Funorb. I would like to fix this on the site, but I can not since I am not a autoconfirmed user. -- TehKittyCat ( talk) 02:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I am now a autoconfirmed user. I would Like to know if anyone supports the change before I make it since this page is semi-protected. TehKittyCat ( talk) 23:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
This page is in the category of living persons with birthdates missing (or something similar), yet on the Unofficial Andrew Gower website (listed in the article's external links),and other sites, it clearly states his birthdate as December 3rd, 1978. And since this page is semi-protected, I am not able to include that on the article. If someone does have access, could they confirm and add this fact? Thank you: Liwolf1
So if andrew made doom 2 why does it now say he made doom 1 and 3 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.29.119.13 ( talk) 20:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Is there any proof that Mechscape is only a code name? Frozen4322 ( talk) 19:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
As said on the RuneScape article:
I think it's worth saying that the RuneScape Forums are being used by Andrew Gower, the co-creator of RuneScape, to interact with the community. I tried adding this in, but the reference didn't work as I'm not experienced enough with WikiPedia; would someone mind adding it for me? The reference is http://runescapez.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2669, you can see a screenshot of Andrew saying this himself.
Do you think it's worth adding? If so, please add it, elseways, disagree here. =D
Thanks

I hate to sound like a priss, but I think Gower's last name should be used in the article, not his first. -Cheesefee, the Ultimate Mario Fan- ( talk) 02:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
I decided to be bold, and split the article into sections. -Cheesefee, the Ultimate Mario Fan- ( talk) 03:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

What do you think about adding reference to Andrew Gower's new startup company Fen Research Ltd ? It is not runescape related but it sounds like research based off the RuneTek engine. It sounds like some sort of gaming platform that they plan on developing.
You can view Andrew Gower's LinkedIn profile to find out what he's doing these days.
