The FunOrb logo
FunOrb was a website run by Jagex, dedicated to small, Java-based browser games. It earns money with a "freemium" model: most players play for free, and Jagex earns money by displaying advertising to them, and some pay a monthly subscription for various benefits.
FunOrb was launched on 27 February 2008 in English and German with 18 games, a small number of which were updated versions or sequels of games from the original Jagex website. It was initially aimed at the "time-pressed" gamer market and updated every 14 days. Jagex have since moved towards having less frequent updates and larger, more complex, new games aimed at time-rich players. Brazilian Portuguese and French have been added to the language line-up, and work is ongoing to launch the site in some other European languages.
According to a J-Mod post on the official RuneScape forums, FunOrb is now a discontinued project, and will no longer be updated.
On 9 May 2018 Jagex announced that FunOrb would be closed down on 7 August 2018, stating that "advancements in software and hardware have made it increasingly difficult to access and play the games on the portal, and that’s ultimately led to our decision
On 7 August 2018 funorb got removed, however some games remain preserved.
