anScooter Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Does anybody know how many people play Runescape now, compared to say pre-December 10, 2007? I am really interested in knowing. If anyway knows how many played even earlier than that, that would also be helpful. Thanks, Scooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noble_aloof Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 if you are trying to imply that jagex took a major hit to the player base after those updates, jagex has/have already stated that they didn't lose many players at all. i believe it was mentioned that they lost more membership from suspected bots and sweatshops than then did from legitimate players.

anScooter Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Actually I was arguing with my friend that December 10, 2007 made many people quit temporarily, but in the long run was a good decision. I just didn't think it was important to mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noble_aloof Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 runescape has seen growth since then. it may not be apparent because easily 10-20% of active players used to be bots/farmers, if not more. 100,000 people playing in 2007 includes 15,000 bots.100,000 people playing say, tonight, includes a couple hundred to a couple thousand bots [size="5"][font="Georgia"][b]Staking:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#FFFF00"][/color][color="#00FF00"] 4+ mil[/color][/font] [font="Georgia"][b]Current Status:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#0000FF"] Training defense [/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookMePlox Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/runescape.com That's the best I can give you. It doesn't account for increased web population, nor bots leaving, or anything else.

It doesn't account for increased web population, nor bots leaving, or anything else. while the statistics are interesting, considering runescape's high rank (top 1.2k) in GLOBAL internet traffic, its safe to assume that runescape is growing, but other sites are just growing faster. anyone find it odd that jagex.com has a better rank/views than funorb?

Big_Stingman Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I heard somewhere that there was 135 million accounts created, and counting (This was a while ago, and I assume is much higher by now). And somewhere around 10 million accounts log in every month (I feel this is fairly accurate). Still, I could be wrong, and I don't have a source. I just thought I remember reading that somewhere on Runescape.com a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought I remember reading that somewhere on Runescape.com a while back. 135 million doesn't sound too legitimate. I saw it too and thought that Jagex was tallying every accounts created regardless of whetherthey might of been created by bots and non-human programs. AFAIK, the wiki estimates that 10 million accounts are active so minus all the users with multiple accounts would leave to bearound 9-9.5 million people. idk what other sources might be more reliable though.

JAMjE Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 what the hell is runescapeCongrats on the first piece of spam on the thread. OT, I think that less people play now, but way less bots play aswell,who said less people was a bad thing anyway?I think its better that a lot of people quit and hope more continue to do so. null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

re4p3r1 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 i think a lot more people play rs now then ever. when i first started playing around '05 there usually wasn't 100,000 people online until the weekends but now just about every hour there's at least 100,000. and i'm one of those people that plays late at night when i'm done with work and i remember there wouldn't be a lot of people on, around 40-50,000 in 05 but now there's 90-100,000 even at 1 in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned_Nex Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 More bots, more kids. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mustang23 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The population has definitely gone down in age. Most of the adults have been replaced by kids. So if you don't include the 12 yr olds, there is in a sense less people.
