What's the highest amount of peoples online on RS?

Featured Replies

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 ;).

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.

highest ive seen is also around the 240k mark

 

uh oh for lagg

2005-07 weekends were littered with 250k+ players online if I can recall.

The most I've seen was probably during one of the bonus xp weekends.

I want to say I've seen 300k+ once (or heard of it), but I can't say for sure.

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.

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"...

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!

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.

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

It hit pretty damn close to 250k pre-ge. Most I remember is 240k, with all the bots and crap.

231k when i checked on sunday

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.

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.

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.

280k back when rs was good

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

February 1st will indeed put a strain on the servers. Will be interesting to see how many people are online.

310K in 2007 XD

It's getting more and more funny this, tbh I expected more serious answers at tip.it, not some imaginary random numbers actually.

I'll be suprised if it doesn't hit 300k again during first week of feb
