September 11, 200916 yr I started automatic storing of statistics for current number of players a few days back. If anyone's interested I could post these now and then.
September 11, 200916 yr Nice. A graph of the number of people playing over time is interesting. Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science
September 11, 200916 yr yeah very interesting, how are you getting the datas? Follow the progress of top players and my weekly updates here: 200M in all SkillsLatest Milestones Chart update : page 602Latest top 15 update : page 6026 slowest skills chart : page 563
September 11, 200916 yr Wow is that all? I remember 180k people at one stage in my rs career. *dreams back*
September 11, 200916 yr Very interesting :thumbup: 138 Combat as of Summer 2010 - Retired Summer 2010
September 11, 200916 yr yeah very interesting, how are you getting the datas? There are currently 72483 people playing! On the RS frontpage. Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science
September 11, 200916 yr yeah very interesting, how are you getting the datas? There are currently 72483 people playing! On the RS frontpage. Yeah I concluded as much, but is it automatic like every 5 minutes or he just randomly looks at the front page once or twice a day and input the numbers himself in a spreadsheet? Just wanna know what's his method...

September 11, 200916 yr Wow is that all? I remember 180k people at one stage in my rs career. *dreams back* Yea, I remember when we had thousands of bots logged in too. I like it better now that the numbers aren't inflated.
September 11, 200916 yr Author yeah very interesting, how are you getting the datas? I wrote a php script that fetch the current number of players from the RS homepage. I automatically fetch once every hour, 24 hours a day and store all values in a database. After that I simply wrote another php script that creates a graph from the stored values. No manual labor is required. Well, except for uploading the image and posting about it here.
September 11, 200916 yr Cool. Be interesting to see the numbers go up on weekends - especially now that school has started for pretty much everyone.
September 11, 200916 yr Very interesting. What would be interesting with about 2-3 months worth of datas: -peak and bottom times during the day (using whatever time you're on, we can always translate to our own time zone) -peak and bottom during the week. If you don't keep this thread updated, at least come back when you have enough datas to determine those!

September 11, 200916 yr Could be interesting to compare over several months. Maybe an archive of each month should be saved? [Whip drops: 13]
September 11, 200916 yr Interesting graph. Keep updating plz! At what time in a day rs has the most player count? Also love to see play count during the weekends.
September 11, 200916 yr This could be interesting to watch. I want to see how high the numbers get during updates, and such. Also, finding peak times would be very interesting to see. I wish we had this data from a few years back, and the number of bots removed so we could see how much the actual player base has grown.

I'm sure Jagex has some way of tracking it, though it's probably not public.
September 11, 200916 yr Author Could be interesting to compare over several months. Maybe an archive of each month should be saved? I will keep all data so anything is possible. I also have a year graph, but it doesn't show much yet (obviously) but I'll upload that one too once there's a month or two of data. It will be interesting to see how the graph changes due to JaGeX updating (or downgrading) the game.
September 11, 200916 yr Damn. I remember it down at under 1000 people playing at times.. Interesting to see the difference during a day though!
September 11, 200916 yr this was from a while back, but i cant really remember when, but i think it was from 2007... maybe #-o Owner of a Quest cape since 9/11/08It's not about the other people, its about shooting cute furry things that explode.
September 11, 200916 yr I wonder what's the highest amount of players which has been logged on at any given time in the history of RuneScape. :-k
September 11, 200916 yr I wonder what's the highest amount of players which has been logged on at any given time in the history of RuneScape. :-k [ PLAYERS ]: There are currently 85,739 players online on 162 servers 529/server, 26.46% capacity. The online record is 251,027 set on Dec 9 2007. Funny how the date was one day before the day we all know. Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science

You get 99 summon and complete a hard quest to gain the ability to summon Jesus, who splits the waters allowing you to walk to a new port town where you unlock the sailing skill. Obviously ;) That was Moses you idiot. That gets fixed in the bugfix the following week. Maybe.[/hide]

Well, the US lost a huge amount of kids the year that the Internal Revenue Service started asking for Social Security numbers when naming dependants on tax day. I think the numbers are in the millions. Greatest infanticide in history? \
September 11, 200916 yr Yeah I've noticed since the main changes to RuneScape, pk'in removal and trade limits that game has not been quite as active in the amount of people it says are currently playing I remember times when 180k+ all week long. Maybe a lot of those where bot's & Chinese farmers.. My first post in a long old time :? - Twitter | RuneScape FB Group | My PC
September 11, 200916 yr looking awsome, this can serve alot of very usefull data :D The online record is 251,027 set on Dec 9 2007. Funny how the date was one day before the day we all know. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
