for some reason the runescape higscore stats tracker is blank after the 15th, so hard to pull anything from there. the amount of p2p as of today (19th mar) is 886,171 it was 876595 on the 15.mar at 13:00 (last number i can find on: http://open.tip.it/high-score-stats) so that number has gone up probably due to bxpw. so there seams to have been a nice hig lvl nuke hitting runescape on the 16th, can also locate a few other moments in 2012 that the ranks have suddenly gone up, but these have been much smaller and harder to locate. one must also consider that the ranks should have gone down due to bxpw, so the number off banns/resets is most likely higer. You forget people cancelling or not renewing their memberships? Hiscore ranks are not a trustworthy source any more. lol, yea.... umm im talking about 10k+ players with hig stats that decide to let membership run out on the day before bxpw? and considering this has not happening this clearly since the botnuke, i can say this is not players just canceling their membership. Maybe I'm retarded, but where did you get 10k people from? I see you're rank increasing by a roughly 500-1000... Also the tip.it chart shows a rise of roughly 25,000 from the 15th to the 19th... [/hide] geting 10 from that the 1k+ ranks i gained where in skills i have lvl 99 in, and most likely they did not have hig enough skills to raise my rank in other stat, bxpw that should have made my stats go down hides some, and then we have to consider that jagex most likely did not only ban ppl with 99 stats. i would say its easy to add it up to 10k ppl. the raise of ppls with members is most likely due to bxpw, I'm not sure if jagex banned or if they rolled back. and 25k+ ppl dose not have anything effect on my ranks going up, it can have the opposite effect, aka hiding even more banned bots. at least he don't see the adverts if he do not go there, there for cutting of potential profits. That should be enough to feel good about yourself Each of your ranks went up 1kish...this doesn't mean you get to add every skill together, and call it 10k people. I would say you are reaching pretty hard for "Jagex did a ban this week". From all the data I've seen, it looks more likely that 1k people (out of roughly 900k) let their membership drop. While 30k got membership for BXP weekend... No Ban...Sorry. Not really sure what point that brings to the discussion anyway. yea 1k players with higher ranks decide to just skip membership before bxpw, on the same day i might add, note that 1k player have not drooped out like that before... i think not. I did not add those ranks to get the 10k, i did a simple analytically overview, something i should have a fairly good sense of considering 3 years at uni doing more or less exactly that.
