Estimates at the probable amount of people in RS

[PURESMITHER]

Most people estimate that that about 2 million people play runescape. Fine, but is that 2 million rl people or 2 million characters? Please correct me if it is 2 million people. Supposing it is 2 million charecters, I'd say most people have 2 or 3 charecters but here are a few who have lots of charecters (bots etc.). On these aerages I'd say that each rl person as about 5 accounts. 2,000,000/5 = 400,000. Could it be that only 400,000 rl people play Runscape... :?

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I will try to get Duke_Freedom to look at this.

It shouldn't be two million people since there is usually never more then 200+ thousand logged on at a time but many people have multi accounts which should bump it up to around two million accounts that is my guess

Nice triple topic, that's dandy.

you must have an overdosage of cocaine or something, Its a known fact that there are around 6million active Ip adresses logging on weekly.

:oops:

 

 

 

It's not like I know everything about everything. :P Things like these are pretty much just guesswork. ;)

 

 

 

Though if I assume *this is pretty accurate which it seems to be, and that, on average, there are 100K players online (don't know how reasonable that is, haven't played for quite a while)...

 

 

 

Then 100*24*7/21 = 800K individual players.

 

 

 

* = It says that the average mmorpg player spends 21 hours a week on the game - by the way, the whole site provides interesting data on mmorpg's in general, in case anyone got too much time on their hands to read a lot. :P

My edit button is better than yours. Too bad I like constructive posts and not utter spam. Consider yourself warned.

You shouldn't forget there are over 500,000 paid member account too :)

Ok, that's what I call spam... it's soooo annoying to read because i have to scroll so much....

 

 

 

I'd say about 1/3 of the rs population either: doesn't play another, is multi accounts, macroers, pures, etc...

 

 

 

So overall, 1.3 million normal accounts minus the people who don't even go on anymore...

 

 

 

I'd say 1-1.2 million actual people who still play on a normal basis

 

 

 

Was that really neccesary? Edited by DDA :roll:

[toppdawg]

Yes, since the only way to find out is guess work, you'd have to make an approximation here. I would say around 2 million registered accounts, with an average of 4 accounts per person, would give you around 500k Active users.

Sorry I triple posted, my comp said that I had posted to many posts, I tried again, to many and again and it worked. I went back to general and found that actually, all three had worked :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway on topic, if theres 200k online players then thats gotta be about 1 - 2k macorers?
