July 19, 201213 yr I was interested in looking over the timeline, but that page lagged terribly for me this afternoon so I'll plan to come back (maybe). The stats page was interesting and had a nice layout, but I am having trouble believing the one that states on average 150 dragons are killed every day by each player. I don't have any interest in the goggles or the bow. I was on-line for the milestone and captured a nice screenshot of the announcement, so that's the only 'keepsake' I need. The musings of a newbie going after his second thousand levels.
July 19, 201213 yr The bow does look cool though, if a bit over the top, so I hope we get to keep it. Attempt to destroy the bow.
July 19, 201213 yr I am also disappointed with the event, the bow looks amazing thou... 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer

That would be 347,222 dragons killer per second, or a bit over 2000 dragons killer per second on each world, which isn't possible because there aren't that many dragons, or people to slay them, on a world. Unless I did the math wrong, which I might have. Not a good time of day for me and numbers, so I'll look at my math again later.

Unless I did the math wrong, which I might have. Not a good time of day for me and numbers, so I'll look at my math again later.It's probably 150 dragons killed/day for every account that logged in that day. Assuming 750k players, that is 8.68 dragons killed/second, which sounds more reasonable.
July 19, 201213 yr It's 150 per player a day, so lets do the math backwards (which is how they'd do it) we need to know:a) the number of dragons killed per day across all serversb) the player metric they used to count (players played per day, total players, etc)c) how many dragon spawns are there on a serverb) how fast can they be killedd) how many members servers are there But the key difference is what metric for players? it's not 200m players since that's not an average of players online in a day.

July 19, 201213 yr I don't think they're including 200m accounts in that. Just the 2-3m or so active dragon hunter bots.
July 19, 201213 yr I think they're only counting average number of players per day, not total players of all time. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014
July 19, 201213 yr Interesting how they have written "200M players" in video and Runescape banner on site. More interesting that within 8 hours after video was uploaded announcing 200M accounts has been released, roughly 1050 players thumbs uped the comment "And how many are legit players?" Inb4RunescapeAds saying "200M players since launch!". Will never congratulate dishonest people. But to those developers or people among Jagex team that is against RWT and cares about the community: Congratulations on your achievements in making Runescape community and game better.

July 20, 201213 yr http://www.runescape...infographics.ws Some fun trivia facts there. I always wanted to know how much GP was in the game. :) runescape "players" kill 150 dragons every day! lol... Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide]
July 20, 201213 yr I don't know what to think about this in overall, as it seems like a big marketing scheme for SoF and future costume item in Solomons store, but it's nonetheless big achievement. The video about players telling about their thoughts, memories and wishes was nice and actually quite emotional to be honest. It's always nice to see different people from different cultures all around the globe enjoying this game. I actually have to admit it's a bit sad to see all these people who have been with this game since so long, to see where this game is heading. Please Jagex, you have gotten this far, don't take the downhill route now. You got the wheel, you got the costumes - and we are already on the edge. Don't push yourself (and us with you) over it. :( If they must add more microtransactions, please please please stay on cosmetic items. The Smiths - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want

Now they just need to add it to the music player so I can listen to it more :P Apparently all the fuss has died down though, there's only like three people at the Party Demon anymore. Taking quite a while to take down The Fallen Diviner

It's not on the actual login/lobby screen-- you hear it when you log into a world and the 200m Event notification comes up. Sadly once you do the event theres no other way to listen to it, since the popup disappears :( The Fallen Diviner

Jagex, being super specific and not vague at all, has told us that the event will end "soon". Trying is just the first step in failure.
