Kazel Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sorry if this has already been posted. RuneScape has been named the Number 5 top search in the Yahoo! top ten searches of 2008! It is, in fact, the ONLY 'game' (MMO and otherwise) on the list. Take that, World of Warcraft! "The multi-player role-playing game's international popularity rests on its cheap access, ability to run on older computers, and compelling play. Its underground success has even lead to a real black market, trading actual cash for RuneScape gold--and controversial restrictions to stop it. A new boss, graphics, and touted player-versus-player combat release signal the company's power play to step up in the RPG battle...and take hold at No. 5." It's very interesting that they mention the 'black market' (RWT), even after it has supposedly been eliminated. Does Yahoo! know something we don't? :| Discuss.

mervinator_9 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 It's very interesting that they mention the 'black market' (RWT), even after it has supposedly been eliminated. Does Yahoo! know something we don't? Wouldnt surprise me if a chart of the top ten Rs related searchs included "Buy Rs Gold" somewhere pretty high. For some outside looking into Rs, gold farming probably crops up alot. On a postive note, Go Rs. (Although its probably only so high as kids cant remember how to use the address bar :-# ) Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

War_Junky_91 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I use google just out of habit. I really need to start using Yahoo search, its actually a lot better from the stuff i have heard. Glad to see RS up there in the list though. I did get a screenshot a few months ago of RS being number 5 in the daily popular search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Is runescape really that hard to spell? You forgot the capital "R". [/spelling nazi] It's always mis-pronounced. For one, my mom calls it "Run! Escape!" and my text program calls it "Rune Eskp". :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well, it is probably a competitor to WOW, so I'm not surprised. Besides it's a helluva lot cheaper than games like Age of Conan and what have you. C'mon, $20 a month 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_klutz Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Cool, except RS is run out of a browser so it is not a huge surprise it has more hits than other games IMO. In my several years of playing SC and WC3 (just examples) I have been to battle.net (WC3/SC website) like 10 times and never searched it before. I don't think this is necessarily a good indication of how popular a game is. If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature. ^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
