January 26, 201115 yr Hello all, I was wondering, what's the highest amount of peoples you have ever seen online on RS along the "... people currently online" counter on the mainpage of RuneScape? The highest I've ever seen must have been like 240K or so, but I didn't allways pay attention to it and I'm not a 100% sure any more.Now I was wondering what about yours? Have you seen higher numbers? And also what kind of numbers do you expect soon after like 2 weeks? Well that's it, thanks beforehand ;).
January 26, 201115 yr The highest I've taken notice of was probably around 250K After the updates, I'm hoping it'll go back to what it used to be, a consistent 200K+ players.
January 26, 201115 yr I want to say I've seen 300k+ once (or heard of it), but I can't say for sure. ~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~
January 26, 201115 yr If there's an extra 50-100 k players playing again at any one time; i will no longer be hopping for bosses or slayer tasks for that matter.Pre '07 was bad enough trying to hop and find worlds, i'm over it. No longer will i be doing it. Inb4elitistclown/efficiency blah blah whatever. Main Account - Max cape achieved 10th September 2011 Noob Account - 2300 total and climbing
January 26, 201115 yr 250-280k in 2007 Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum
January 26, 201115 yr I saw it hit the 300k mark in 2006-2007 sometime, in a weekend. No pic sorry. So if you don't believe feel free to say "pic or it didn't happen"... My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody
January 26, 201115 yr Didn't they used to always be announcing a new record number of players online, I think the last one before dec 07 was like 550k at one time (you can prob find the newspost in the archives) Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide]
January 26, 201115 yr Didn't they used to always be announcing a new record number of players online, I think the last one before dec 07 was like 550k at one time (you can prob find the newspost in the archives) Quite sure that's impossible, seeing as there are only about 160-170 worlds. 2k*165 = 330,000 Most I've seen (or remember seeing) is 220k or so just few days ago.

January 26, 201115 yr How are people coming up with these figures of over 250k PRE GE too? There are more worlds being added every year and the maximum now is around 350k I believe. Some people are saying 280k but I doubt 140 worlds will be full, when back in the day that was practically the amount of worlds. I might just be making an obvious mistake here, but thats my 2cents worth

I might just be making an obvious mistake here, but thats my 2cents worth It hit pretty damn close to 250k pre-ge. Most I remember is 240k, with all the bots and crap.
January 26, 201115 yr Author 300K+ is indeed a joke, and yes it was crowded with bots, but not this many...I just can't take such peoples serious, new Dutch P-mods like "The_power" and such also claim 300K+ numbers, those figures are just... Well nvm.

Most I remember is 240k, with all the bots and crap.Yeah, that's pretty much the max I remember seeing in normal times (not holidays etc). And to that bot comment, I remember going through W7 writing down every bots name on an excel doccument to send to Jagex. Frinal count was over 300 I beleive (lost it when the family computer crashed) and that was NOT abmormal. That gives you a good scope of exactly how many online 'players' were bots. 20% (assuming 1500 players on the server) of 'players' on a randomly selected world were bots. I have no idea how the bot situation was in P2P, but I have to assume it was similar. PS - The next day, all of those bots were banned and were replaced within 2 more days.
January 26, 201115 yr 310k in 2007. Come to my Clan chat (I'm there if I'm online) if you wish to borrow a Green H'ween mask, Blue H'ween Mask, Red H'ween Mask, or Santa for a reasonable price.
January 26, 201115 yr I predict it will max out on february first It's great you know what you're talking about rustiod. Everything you've said is 100% accurate a true. That being said...your a [bleep]ing [bleep] douchebag, and none of your advice will ever (or should ever) be taken seriously because of it.disregard good advice because the giver is a douche THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON
January 26, 201115 yr February 1st will indeed put a strain on the servers. Will be interesting to see how many people are online.
January 27, 201115 yr Author 310K in 2007 XDIt's getting more and more funny this, tbh I expected more serious answers at tip.it, not some imaginary random numbers actually.
January 27, 201115 yr Author I'll be suprised if it doesn't hit 300k again during first week of feb what do you meen "again" ? It has never been that high, not even close :S has it??
January 27, 201115 yr Used to sit comfortably at 230-250K a couple years ago. Can't wait to see it like that again. :)
