Arceus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Using Quest_Cape_K's timestamp for 197.8M, that's 1k players in half an hour, or 45.8 days. That doesn't seem good.

Ts_Stormrage 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.Probably not too far off :) "Win a fortune on the Squeal of Fortune! Squeal as you roll around in a large pile of coins that may or may not be yours!" Anywho, "Players since launch" is another gross overestimation, as Jagex knows full well that most of those accounts never played RuneScape, or were not played by actual people... I've started to wonder if Jagex has developped something of an inferiority complex... It's kind of like someone constantly saying how big their penis is... Chances are, if you have to say it, it's probably not true...So too in this case, I see little reason for Jagex to come with this little chest-thumping of theirs, other than for promotional purposes or some made-up headline. Especially when they made little to no fuss at all about their first 100m players... I fear It's probably worse, and it isn't an inferiority complex... Ever hit a wall before in your work, and don't know how to proceed? Pretty soon results are demanded by your bosses, and the obvious choice is to point to some minor or irrelevant progress that you did make... I think that something similar is happening here... Using Quest_Cape_K's timestamp for 197.8M, that's 1k players in half an hour, or 45.8 days. That doesn't seem good.It'll pick up soon, it's only early morning in China atm :) Your best bet is to look after 24 hours, and extrapolate from those numbers instead...

NukeMarine Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, and when I was 10 I counted to a billion 10 i+120 print i30 goto 10 If they want to impress me, tell the number of member accounts that were created MINUS those that have been banned. Until then, this means as much as the first Wilderness vote. EDIT: Still, if they're doing another Bot Nuke, you might want to purchase skilling supplies this month.

About the no no fuss about the first 100 million players, we do know they had 135 million accounts when RS HD was released, which is now 5 years ago I think, that was slammed around every time when there was an update post on the RS HD. You must also not forget that the players originally didn't have a number, but just the name the character had. This was only changed when the namechange update came around. So my guess is that they didn't have a real easy way to just see how many accounts there were, back then. And for the figure of 135M accounts at RS HD, they probably checked it the hard way then, but they forgot to see the 100M mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pal2002 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Of which 100m are bots and 10m were ppl who made accts to spin for extra crap. Probably 90m more inactive accounts. Wee.

Saradomin_Mage Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Nah that was taken from HLF, really not sure about the authenticity but I'd believe anything about the Squeal at this point :P I mean, that interface is actually different now, so I'm pretty sure they didn't "just remove the Neptune theme" without actually adding something.
