bump again? more people searching runescape = more players, i don't mind newbies , they are new people into the game that can be moulded into a good player , not hacking , scamming, begging etc and it does mean more money from potential members , as far as i know runescape is one of the few (if not only), truly free MMORPG , you don't need to buy a disk , yet it is an amazing game, even for f2p , eventually the game will get better than the competition , as internet connections become able to handle more data more rapidly and therefore better graphics :o may well come out , more people searching = better runescape in the future
