Drazhor Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 We are racing towards the historic milestone of the 200 millionth RuneScape account being created. In anticipation of reaching this mind-blowing total, we have added a counter to RuneScape.com allowing everyone to witness this incredible accomplishment. We think that this achievement is truly amazing and, naturally, we want to celebrate with the people who made it possible: each and every one of you! So, to commemorate this momentous occasion, we have put together a grand celebration - along with a series of events and surprises - to allow the entire community to join us in celebrating the 200 millionth account when the time comes. Keep an eye on the counter, and make sure you’re around to see this iconic moment in RuneScape history unfold. Discuss this here.[qfc]294-295-18-63788634[/qfc] The RuneScape Team This is actually fairly impressive! I wonder what the celebrations will involve...decapitating a certain little goblin hopefully! What do you think of this achievement? Do you think it's well deserved?I'm personally split because I think a fair bit of them accounts may be botting accounts :lol: Achievement list:198m Accounts created - 16th June 2012 at 21:16 UTC (BST) :shades: 199m Accounts created - 200m Accounts created - Visit my blog!

Kaida23 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Tons of those will be those autotypers... :wall:Yeah, that seems to be the prevailing theory in RSOF thread as well. <_< Still, it's pretty cool. I can't help but wonder what kind of stuff they'll be doing to celebrate. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

sohkmj1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 A celebration of an event since SoF... without a discontinued (tradeable or otherwise) item? Something is not right here.Maybe the prize for the 200 millionth account is like a couple of free spins or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnitec Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If they put on events to celebrate the 200th million account, won't people just spam make accounts at the time of the events? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Even for a game that have been around for as long as RS, 200M created account is a lot. Congratulations, Runescape! Now let's go for 300 400 500M! Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirschen Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 O wow another pointless thing to celebrate and put prizes on the SOF for... Let's make wild guesses what nearly-unobtainable items they'll add to the wheel. My guess is 200M (fake) gold that can use an emote where you roll around in the money to get a faux experience of what Jagex has with the wheel itself.

Ned Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I heard somewhere that 130-140m of these accounts are either Chinese bots, or completely inactive accounts (no activity at all even since creation). Still a cool milestone though. Want to help the Tip.It Crew? Visit the Website Updates & Corrections forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammako Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 And yet they're still 3m accounts away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zantareous Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The game has existed for over a decade, and with accounts getting auto-generated by bots I expected much, much more than 200m accounts. That really puts Facebook's 900m figures into perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haaa Haaa0 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I wonder if they really are clueless or just grinning and bearing it. Edited June 12, 2012 by Kimberly Fixed your post for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Bots or not, it is still a very nice accomplishment for Jagex to reach these numbers. You don't say, "Wow that President has a nice approval rating of 99% from a poll taken of all of these people that don't exist." For all the bots we know that exist (and there are a damn lot of them) there are probably twice that caught and banned before we could ever see them on Jagex's end. It's just hard to be happy for such a milestone, or even celebrate it as a player. I'd rather celebrate the SoF more than this for the money it makes Jagex. At least then I know the people who are buying spins - now that they've fixed the credit card debacle - are legitimate players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorator Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Eh, I think it is kinda cool that their game is popular enough to have /that/ many recorded attempts at cheating to get ahead in it. Still. 3mil away. That counter will be there a while, I think. Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape.
