(title edited as numbers dropped initial post not).

 

 

 

nearly below 100k players online.

 

 

 

102k people online now, dropping 50 literally every refresh..

 

 

 

 

 

I've haven't seen it this low at this time of day in years..

 

 

 

is anyone having problems logging in, or is it all due to unhappy people?

Probably that rubbish protest they made to "force" Jagex to revert the update.

It could be that its 8:00-11:00 PM in the United States which most of the RS players are at and are currently sleeping or watching Night TV.

under 100k players online now,

 

 

 

usually over 150-200k at this time of night...

 

 

 

not a bad protest if it is one.

Things will return to normal in a few weeks or so. The kids are crying because their little toy was painted a different colour, that's all.

+1, nothing beats family guy.

LOL nice one, and we all know the updates are bad in some ways, but not enough to really go on and protest IN a game. wow.

checked the rants forum? 600+ people

 

recent updates forum? 200+ people

 

 

 

whats funny is to go into the rants forum and keep clicking the rants forum button every few seconds.

 

 

 

The sticky called "today's updates" is getting like 80 rants per minute (80 rpm) :lol:

I was more asking to make a comparison with normal days..

 

 

 

I haven't seen below 100k people on at this time in a longgggg time, am I just wrong in thinking that?

 

 

 

Saying people might be watching TV or asleep is kind of a moot point, because people are always sleeping or watching TV at this time, if you said oh there is a major sporting event on or an amazing film was just released that would effect the number, but family guy is on every week :-/

 

 

 

now below 80k

That is pretty crazy.

It's bedtime on a school night. That's all that need be said.

It's late and whoever said nothing beat family guy.

 

 

 

Family guy isnt even funny :XD:

It's a school night. Also there are massive ammounts of poweroutages in the Midwestern United States right now. But mostly because it's a school night.

Thats because your candian.

It could also be from thousands of RWT cutting their losses and not wasting anymore time with Runescape.

 

 

 

I imagine that would cause a good deal of player "loss" in and of itself.

why would they not do another 20 days of $ earning?

I would think they won't be able to sell gold right up to the last day, nor would they want to keep making new toons knowing they might NOT be able to cover any loses if Jagex goes on a banning spree over the next few weeks.

 

 

 

If it were me, (and it's NOT) I would sell the items/gold I had and go to the next game.

bots not being on is an interesting point, it is under 65k now :-o

 

 

 

Again school night is a moot point, it's a school night 5 days a week. I don't remember seeing numbers below 65k at this time, in a long time?

 

 

 

As before I am not saying I'm right, just saying at this time I havent seen such low numbers in well over a year without there being server issues. If I'm wrong just say nah ur wrong, not oh people watch tv, or go to shool or work, or eat food, because it's kind of obvious they do that, they do it most days every week, it's no explination as to why numbers would be different to any other school day at this time.. If the numbers are no different just say that, but dont try to explain it with things that happen all the time. Now the bot point was very interesting.

 

 

 

Also isnt it the start of Asia / Australasia prime time?

Whatever is causing it, those numbers DO seem rather low.

Thats because your candian.

 

 

 

hes the coolest canadian i met then because hes right lol.

 

 

 

i never met a person over the age of 20 who likes family guy, all the jokes make me want to change the channel and watch pokemon even.

i would keep doing it, assuming my employer pays my members fee. effectively, this a 20day quit notice, work while you have the time and research for a job when your not at work, or hell... your on a computer, you might beable to do it while autoing?

Well, WWE Raw's 15th anniversary was tonight and I know even with all of this going on I perferred to watch it rather than 'Scape.
