December 1, 200817 yr Sorry if this has already been posted. RuneScape has been named the Number 5 top search in the Yahoo! top ten searches of 2008! It is, in fact, the ONLY 'game' (MMO and otherwise) on the list. Take that, World of Warcraft! "The multi-player role-playing game's international popularity rests on its cheap access, ability to run on older computers, and compelling play. Its underground success has even lead to a real black market, trading actual cash for RuneScape gold--and controversial restrictions to stop it. A new boss, graphics, and touted player-versus-player combat release signal the company's power play to step up in the RPG battle...and take hold at No. 5." It's very interesting that they mention the 'black market' (RWT), even after it has supposedly been eliminated. Does Yahoo! know something we don't? :| Discuss. SLAYERGEEK
December 1, 200817 yr It's very interesting that they mention the 'black market' (RWT), even after it has supposedly been eliminated. Does Yahoo! know something we don't? Wouldnt surprise me if a chart of the top ten Rs related searchs included "Buy Rs Gold" somewhere pretty high. For some outside looking into Rs, gold farming probably crops up alot. On a postive note, Go Rs. (Although its probably only so high as kids cant remember how to use the address bar :-# ) Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

December 1, 200817 yr Lost to Miley, though ;). (I was four seconds late posting this. (Darn you ;).) This is certainly a step in the right direction! Go RS!
December 2, 200817 yr Heeeyyy look that guy in the picture is in my avatar! Yahoo has been a bit shifty lately. Google beats Yahoo by far, so this isn't really saying too much. ~It's Super Effective! (The Zaaps Blog)~My YouTube Channel, where you get to watch me go around and make a fool out of myself and all comp capersGuides:~Yeah I wrote them once~Suggestions:~Yeah I made those once~
December 2, 200817 yr I knew it! Yahoo! is the one selling the gold! :shame: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAPPPPPPPPPPPPP. Yahoo! just got owned :ohnoes: :-#
December 2, 200817 yr Number 5, wooooo! :thumbsup: I like google better though. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........
December 2, 200817 yr Crap, I was gonna post this last night, but had to go, then when I come back it's already been posted :) Oh well, this is certainly extremely cool :shock: Before Angeline Jolie, Naruto and American Idol??

December 2, 200817 yr I use google just out of habit. I really need to start using Yahoo search, its actually a lot better from the stuff i have heard. Glad to see RS up there in the list though. I did get a screenshot a few months ago of RS being number 5 in the daily popular search.
December 2, 200817 yr Strangely cool. :-s :twss: ⅹ Last.fm YouTube Team A vs Team B M u s ii X Rocky Keane ⅹ
December 2, 200817 yr Is runescape really that hard to spell? Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.
December 2, 200817 yr Is runescape really that hard to spell? You forgot the capital "R". [/spelling nazi] It's always mis-pronounced. For one, my mom calls it "Run! Escape!" and my text program calls it "Rune Eskp". :P
December 2, 200817 yr Well, it is probably a competitor to WOW, so I'm not surprised. Besides it's a helluva lot cheaper than games like Age of Conan and what have you. C'mon, $20 a month 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM
December 2, 200817 yr Cool, except RS is run out of a browser so it is not a huge surprise it has more hits than other games IMO. In my several years of playing SC and WC3 (just examples) I have been to battle.net (WC3/SC website) like 10 times and never searched it before. I don't think this is necessarily a good indication of how popular a game is. If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature. ^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one
December 3, 200817 yr I just saw this....and I'm really suprised...had no idea rs was this popular lol
December 3, 200817 yr Yeah well smart people use Google. When I read "yahoo" I almost thought my time machine works and I was back in 1999 :-k :twss:
December 3, 200817 yr lol I heard about it on a talk show last night, and they were calling it run scape. haha
December 3, 200817 yr Woot \. I didn't know anyone still used Yahoo anymore. Me too lol... "To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god." - Napoleon I
