Abyssalwhip Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Um warcraft has over 9x the runescape subscribers. Wait what the hell am I doing in general anyway.. Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Runescape has potential and possibly can become number 1 for a bit, but for it to sustain its lead for so long against big names like WoW? doubt it. However, Runescape still has its place as number 1 free MMORPG according to several gaming sites. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

Nanoha_Takamachi Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Not after this month's updates. QFT! And i don't think rs will top wow to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbington Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 With the huge amount of advertising WOW does, I doubt RS could ever outrank it.... as Jagex only used 3 other sites that link to it, and the rest of the advertising is only word of mouth....

meb Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 4 words: WRATH OF LICH KING. :lol: So true. RS is a browser-based game, and a lot of people want good graphics. WoW is still the best game around, RS won't change that. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

MicroLegionnaire Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Its not really that hard to imagine, RS has a great storyline and game play, the only thing that it loses out to against WoW is graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznmidget448 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Wow, I'm surprised by those statistics. I never really noticed how popular Runescape was and I'm definitely surprised by it being number 3. I was expecting around number 10, but obviously I'm wrong... I couldn't believe this because recently so many people seem to be ranting about runescape all year but then all of a sudden number 3? That insane, and then I look at the game to be a potential #1 in the next comming year. Its highly possible. So many people seem to be quiting but does it matter? Newer players fill their shoes daily and with newer updates like summoning comming out many people are even comming back. I personally think that runescape will get a boost from this update. The community in Runescape will just be so much better without scammers at every corner, noobs begging for cash (3k's not too much anyways) and bots at ever streetcorner. I predict a flock to Runescape in the next half year after people accept the changes and understand how much it will benefit the game. Runescape just seems like it can beat World of Warcraft, if not 2008 then maybe 2009. I wish Runescape the best of luck in doing this and with constant update to make the gaming experience better, I would not be surprised if Runescape did become number 1 by the end of next year.

primadog Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I found the source of this particular ranking, note that this is back in June 13, 2007: http://gigaom.com/2007/06/13/top-ten-most-popular-mmos/ 3. RuneScape, released 2001 - 5 million active users. A Java-based MMORPG operated by Jagex Ltd. with over nine million active free accounts. Boasts one million paying customers. Fancy that. Another interesting article is RuneScape is second in revenue in Western Hemispher: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_i ... tory=13233 During 2006, the report found World of Warcraft to be the most popular subscription game ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åby far,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà All I learned in life, I learned on Tip.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper88888 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Pfft, lousy rating group. RS is #1. 'Nuff said. :D If you think WoW is better, watch South Park Ep. # 1008: http://www.southparkzone.com/episodes/1 ... craft.html And if you don't want to click the link, don't. It's safe, but plenty of people are afraid of any sites they haven't used before.. :roll: Oh, and 'users' = 'users', not paying players. Rs wins. F2p players are still players. There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randox Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 RuneScape would have a chance but were trailing WoW by about 5 million players. Now if they have other criteria (especily for cheaters/macros) then we have a figthing chance :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion999 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I play both WoW and Runescape, I highly doubt RuneScape will become #1 compared to World of Warcraft's 9.3 million players, plus an expansion on the way. I hope it gets up to #2 though... And in the future as RuneScape improves I can see them being a close competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vapour Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Top 5 of "2007". Don't forget what it used to be earlier this year. Runescape will only be a vague memory in 2008. Hacked on January 5, 2007 --> Lost: 56.4M, Santa Hat, Purple Partyhat, Green Partyhat, Christmas Crackerpeople who get rich and do it legit like joob and I always get f'd over in the end.

Nenga Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I could see runescape passing it. The morning rs had the articles about RWT I asked a WoW player what they did with bots and their answer was "we don't have them." Same with a few other games. Which means if WoW doesn't do anything runescape could pass it if they upgraded their game a little. If they don't then no it will never happen. Ponies!
