February 11, 200719 yr Author 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. untrue, most players stay at f2p cause they cant pay.
February 11, 200719 yr I read somewhere that there is about 9 Million RS accounts and about 1 Million Members, now of course lots of them are pures and stuff and people do quit so there are unused accounts. Rs is still getting larger, and soon it might get a lot larger since Jagex are planing on making the game into other languages.

February 11, 200719 yr You mean 200k logged on at once right? There are millions of accounts..... And we are definetly gaining, slowly but steadily.
February 11, 200719 yr I remember my brother asked Jagex how many players are banned weekly, They responded with around 10,000 players each week, and that number is so large it doesn't even make the front page anymore if they ban that many. But on the other hand, I've seen more then this, but this is the only one I took a picture of :P It easily reaches this everyday :| Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.
February 12, 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. Um, I started off on Miniclip? I don't see what's wrong with that. I don't use it anymore but that's how I found out about it. im level 76 and IM NOT A NOOB 30- is a noob
February 12, 200719 yr It's probably increasing overall. However, a lot of people do seem to be quitting as of late. I think that during the summer, after school is out, the number of players will increase (I'm sure it always does).
February 13, 200719 yr I think gaining players because they hit over 1 million accounts about maybe 1% autoers (10,000 autoers) and the rest are F2p and P2p accounts (duh!). But it is growing I can not give exact percents ( I do not know) but it is growing just at a slower rate.
February 13, 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. Um, I started off on Miniclip? I don't see what's wrong with that. I don't use it anymore but that's how I found out about it. I started out on Miniclip too but use the main page to access account for most of Runescape playing life
February 13, 200719 yr Nothing is wrong with Miniclip, Jagex pays to have the game posted on their, and Miniclip gets money from it somehow.
February 13, 200719 yr Alot of players are autoing on many accounts at once...Some are drop trading pures who multiple log...Some are people who quite early...Some Will play for a long time...Some played since the start...Alot are quitting...Most now days started just a while ago =; . I think its going to go up for years with occassional drops and then plummet like an old, dead, overweight orly? owl. usually logged on,private may be on friends.They call me...Noob!
February 14, 200719 yr Well, I think I can actually provide an answer that means something. Alexa.com provides information on the traffic hitting every website. This graph shows the number of views per day over the past 5 years:
February 14, 200719 yr i for 1 quit and some people have for some reasons. one of my reasons (hence "1" of...) is the average age group of players and maturity levels. i know there are some younger players who are mature but i speak to those kids with no lifes and make 1 in a digitized pixel world. eg: i made a lv3 account to test this effect: Sir_Orochai Player hi hows it hanging? go away you little kid noob im not a noob nor kid, im 16 thanks i dont care who yuo are im 38 lv's higher than yuo so i dont have to lisen to yuo (despite Sir Orochai is only lv 6 :roll: ) okay, have it your way lol what a kid noob. r0fl pl0x!! this is an example of age maturity, and not knowing what pl0x means also :roll: also i quit due to educational purposes. yr 11..*sigh* Popoto.~<3
February 14, 200719 yr definitly gaining there are way more people on they this time last year although many older accounts quit there are just so many new accounts made everyday
February 14, 200719 yr I think that rs is becoming a little more popular. It might go downhill because everybody is buying xbox360 and playstation 3 and getting online with those and not playing rs anymore. Thanks to Hardwick246 for the sig
February 14, 200719 yr RS has definitely slowed down from about a year ago. To be honest I think that Runescape has just saturated the market. So many people started around the same time, and now it will probably settle into an average ebb and flow of players over the next 3 years or so. And with the German version... it will probably [bleep]e by another 50k-100k people. But since most of them won't be able to speak english, that's a whole new amount of problems for Jagex.
February 15, 200719 yr Author I think that rs is becoming a little more popular. It might go downhill because everybody is buying xbox360 and playstation 3 and getting online with those and not playing rs anymore. they'll eventually come back to runescape, afterall those games cant be updated. :wink:
February 15, 200719 yr ive been looking on wikipedia, and there is more and more people playing runescape than ever, although the german version is to talk german, perhaps they will invent a translator, so you can speak their but when spoke, using a program, it loads to your screen in english, although such programs are extremly difficult to create, i only know of 1. Popoto.~<3
February 15, 200719 yr I believe the growth rate on members has slown down quite significantly, as there used to be new servers created almost weekly. Nowadays, you're lucky to see a new server update every month. However, with the implementation of Runescape in different languages (such as the German Beta), there is great potential for growth. Jagex has to take into account, however, that the European gaming industry is much different from that in North America. If Jagex plays its cards correctly, expect to see an influx of players from these changes.
February 15, 200719 yr Most definitely gaining. Nope that just means there are more new players asking stupid questions :D But yeah i agree, runescape will forever be gainning players as MMORPG's become more popular everday. IGN: HesFearless. -Jamie
February 15, 200719 yr I say we are slowly gaining and slightly faster losing...until RUNESCAPE 3 comes out we will be losing. Once RS3 hits the internet..... :shock: Thanks to the amazing talent of Jopie211 for the sig!Finest Fist of Guthix Strategy Guide
February 16, 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. lots of friends are either lvl 20 and got bored or joined through miniclip and its "not cool" anymore.
February 16, 200719 yr I say we are slowly gaining and slightly faster losing...until RUNESCAPE 3 comes out we will be losing. Once RS3 hits the internet..... :shock:Or once you lay off the drugs. ANyway, the number of players usually peaks at 240K on weekends, I admit it has slowed down, but not stopped. Im thinking its because of the time of the year. Lastfm
