Re: "Jagex did not say exactly how Brexit will up its costs"

Well, the north American servers won't cost them a great deal more in terms of exchange rates.

Before Brexit vote the exchange rate was 1 GBP to 1.48 USD. Today, 1 GBP is 1.42 USD. This is a minor difference, and before Brexit the exchange rate would go up and down anyway. This sort of change could have happened regardless of brexit (exchange rates change all the time)

However, in terms of GBP to EUR, the pre-brexit exchange rate was 1 GBP to 1.30 EUR. Today it is 1 GBP to 1.15 EUR. This amount change is almost certainly entirely down to brexit.

So realistically the biggest difference is with the EU servers perhaps costing more. So if this is all down to cost, most likely it is due to the cost of GBP to EUR.
