GregorDGrim Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 After today's update, I moved up more than 32,000 spots in the overall rankings. I improved more than 61,000 places in constitution. Are there really that many people who let their membership lapse or am I missing something? I've noticed that my overall ranking tends to fall daily for a couple of weeks, no matter how many levels I earn, and then suddenly spike up...but it's never been this much of a swing.

tripsis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well it's either people losing membership or Jagex banning bots. I'm sure they do mass bannings like this fairly often. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregorDGrim Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ah yes, it's probably bots getting nuked. I didn't realize there were still that many around (with at least 1350 total levels). The musings of a newbie going after his second thousand levels.

GregorDGrim Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 That's certainly dramatic. I'm happy to see it. Thanks for reposting - I had last read that update thread about five minutes before you posted the graph. The musings of a newbie going after his second thousand levels.

Kaida23 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Nearly 100,000 people in one day? An update day, even. That's got to be mostly bans. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applejuiceaj Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Very interesting. Good to see that (from the way things are looking) something is being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezee Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Might it also be some people's 2 week free membership expiring without them buying more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Might it also be some people's 2 week free membership expiring without them buying more?Possibly, but I don't think that the free membership thing started 2 weeks ago? I thought it began like this week. Could be wrong though :/ - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As popular as RS is, I don't think they're getting 100k new players per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezee Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well, I was thinking of 14 day free membership and bot bannings in conjunction with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Paul Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Based on February 2nd-16th, it's under 5k people per day that were buying membership. Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecuttingyews Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well, I was thinking of 14 day free membership and bot bannings in conjunction with each other.Hmm...maybe. I guess we'll have to keep an eye on that tracker for a bit. If the free 2 week P2P offer did start 2 weeks ago, we should be able to see it in the graph.

GregorDGrim Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Might it also be some people's 2 week free membership expiring without them buying more?That wouldn't account for me moving up 60K spots in constitution, at level 60. Those all have to be players who have been around for awhile. The musings of a newbie going after his second thousand levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
