February 9, 200719 yr its been staying at roughly 200k players for awhile... my personal guess is that its going downhill sooner or later.
February 9, 200719 yr I have also noticed the stablity of the number of players, although I've seen it hit 230k+ players recently. Private Chat Is Always On 10,183rd To 99 Fletching
February 9, 200719 yr probably losing, i know alot of my friends are quitting. I think it seems constant because alot of people are using 2 or 3 accounts but in reality the number of new players does not outweigh the number quitting i mean the total number of players in the world.
February 9, 200719 yr It's increasing on average There are times when the rate slows down. But on average it is increasing 2432nd to 99 mining
February 9, 200719 yr well tons of people are joining f2p but my guess is about 1/4 of those will quit by level 20 just because thats usually how it is

I think it seems constant because alot of people are using 2 or 3 accounts but in reality the number of new players does not outweigh the number quitting i mean the total number of players in the world. Just because a lot of your friends are quitting doesn't mean RS is losing more players than gaining lol Unless you got about 500,000 friends and 300,000 of them are quitting :-k 2432nd to 99 mining
February 9, 200719 yr It should be gaining players though 5 years later might be a different story...
February 9, 200719 yr its the middle of the school year, midterms just ended, no 'big' reason to play right now, so the number of players shouldn't be increasing, just kinna staying around the same which it has, yeah its fallen some and risen some, but nothing major. when the school year ends alot more people are ganna join up again. when summoning or w\e is next comes out theres ganna be another big jump. but dont expect anything at this time of year
February 9, 200719 yr It is gaining but it is losing the people made it great. Aspects of the game which made it worth playing are gone now because of things like PC The world would be a whole lot better if little green men in UFO's came down to earth to abduct rednecks.
February 9, 200719 yr We can only hope that all the miniclip players are leaving.... yessss.... we wants it.... we NEEDS it Er.... Miniclip players. Gone. Yeah.
February 9, 200719 yr It's increasing on average There are times when the rate slows down. But on average it is increasing I belive so too. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak
February 9, 200719 yr If you plotted this on a curve, starting from the introduction of RS2 to now, you'd find the general trend is: increasing at an increasing rate. The statistic on the main page - There are currently people playing! - isn't the best indication, due to the massive time differences. But generally, the numbers should be increasing.
February 9, 200719 yr ^^For example i'm playing now and the number is 56714. I'd say it was steadily increasing though. But alot of people get bored of Runescape, I remember when I got to combat level 10 I grew bored of it and stopped playing. But when my friends started playing it more I started up again. Also I don't think Runescape is still miniclips number one game? Though i'm not sure.

Club Penguin Silversphere Deep Freeze Stunt Driver Papa Louie Rails of War Skateboard Jam Lootshoot Commando Puzzle Pirates Not even Top 10 Anymore. YAY! lol Currently: Quit Ages Ago
February 9, 200719 yr Most definitely gaining. ---Do not ask God for an easy life. Ask him for the strength to endure a difficult one.Pansy: a weak, effeminate, and often cowardly man. (Oxford English Dictionary)
February 9, 200719 yr ya but most of the files are pures ppl try for a month then end up frogetting their password :P range- 69/70 ~ currently poor but with good stuffstrength- 64/70 ~go461-combat 71~
February 9, 200719 yr Most definitely gaining. You think Jagex hasn't responded with that before? Most messages from Jagex are automated!!! This is one of the reasons why some players quit. Jagex is loosing touch with players. Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.
February 9, 200719 yr We're still increasing, just at a much slower rate. Runescape is losing some of its edge to more popular games like WoW that are becoming more mainstream. I know there have always been better games than RS, and RS's appeal is that it's free, but since other MMORPG's are getting mainstream, they're taking some of runescape's mainstream gamers who would have played the free game.
February 9, 200719 yr I honestly think the actual players of rs are leaving more and more. If you want to put it in some kind of perspective, think of this: 250k accounts How many of those accounts aren't macroing accounts? Honestly, I don't know, but I'm guessing we've got a lot of accounts that are actual players. So I'm guessing around... 150-200k actual people playing and not computers.

Well, as your total seems pretty high, I assume that you've played pretty long (so your friends too?). Very often people stop playing after decent amount of time, but there always comes new players. All the time. Since most of younger kids just hear about it from older ones who have ended playing it, and they start playing. There was same kinda of situation with me like 4 years ago. When like all my friends quited playing, and I though the game is gonna die. :-# Well, there just came more people, as I understand that what happens in my neighborhood, doesn't mirror the whole world. :-w
February 9, 200719 yr It's the number of members that matters most of all. I realise that 99% of people only get members after being freeplay, but it's the number people who pay to play that really matters. ....:::Datasi:::.... ....:::99 Magic:::.... ....:::99 Thieving:::....http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3741/picture15jm6.jpg[/img:c156a

You honestly think 25% of the people playing are autoers? The world would be a whole lot better if little green men in UFO's came down to earth to abduct rednecks.
February 10, 200719 yr I'd say increasing. I've been seeing full worlds more often then before. Also, Tip.It homeworld 99 has been full sometimes recently. But that might just mean more Tipiters :D
February 11, 200719 yr It's increasing on average There are times when the rate slows down. But on average it is increasing I belive so too. Also agreed.
