Runescape

the counter saying that there is 190k players online does not mean there is 190k players online since many people have already posted here that they have witnessed it saying there was 100k players online with EVERY world offline. I thought when I saw that before it was a glitch, but when more and more people have said they have seen the same thing, I think that all is not what it seems with the counters.  The worlds seem way too empty when on them for that to be the case when it would say 1138 players in your world a few years ago it would feel like  there was actually that many players in the world, that is not so these days, the worlds feel empty in comparison.  Yes in members you get f2p x2, you get twice as much mindless repetition! twice as much waiting for everything to happen! twice as much useless poorly drawn pixel junk! twice as much boredom! woot! what a deal for only what is now going to be $72 a year! Aren't you excited about that?  That just makes me want to jump up and down with excitement.

Only $60 if you subscribe before the 4th!(I don't actually pay anyways.) Gah, even if there are not really 190k people playing, all that means is that noone steals my yews, right? I actually am a little excited...I think it may be time to get a job.

Does anyone else think the High Detail being only for members is bogus? i always played RS in high detail but i guess i won't anymore -.-  that's how they lost so many players and on it's homepage it says "We have over 130 million accounts!!" who wants a bet that most aren't active?

This game is terrible anyways.

I also hope you realize that they did these changes because of the problem with Real-World Trading, and for the most part it's been quite effective. RWT would have 'screwed' the game a lot more than these updates have if something hadn't been done.

Wrongo. RWT is just as alive and active as it was before. They even added a new option in addition to selling you gold, training your account for you. So gold costs a bit more per mil, the RWT goes on just as strong as before, if not stronger with the new "let us train your account" Option.

 Runescape only goes uphill from here.

 You're right, they can't go much lower.

That's not the point, the point is that they're lying about the actual number of people playing as a way to trick new people into joining.

There's 150 worlds, 163, though, 'appear' to exist. This is not true.

Notice there's rarely less than 500 people on a server (If ever, I didn't really look.). My suggestion is that there's a minimum number of players, 4-500, and all the additional 'players' are added on.

LOL! The scary thing is is that I thought that very same thing a while back.. but then they seem to find ways to sink even lower.. I dunno with Jagex I am sure they will find a way, they cease to amaze me.

Very true. But from I have seen, I think they can and will continue to find new ways to sink lower and lower. That is just what they are good at and I don't doubt their ability to find new ways to further ruin the game.

I never really understood why people played Runescape.. Just being completely honest.

I played RS for a month or 2, then I got tired of that shit and started playing all the free mmorpg's, Such as Kal online, Knight online, Maplestory, etc etc.

By the time I got to WoW, The first thing that came to mind was how wow reminded me of RS.  I couldnt really tell you why.. But it did. 

Really.  I could not tell you why people played Runescape.  The graphics are worse then most flash games.  The community is filled with 1337 $p43k1nG douchebags, hackers roam free, botters everywhere.  I think Runescape should have died a long time, It was dead to me more then 4 years ago.
