I've never understood the popularity of runescape when there were/are a large variety of significantly better f2p MMOs. Guess it has to do with it being browser based to attract preteens who share a computer with parents.
Jesus, this looks way prettier than the last time I played it. (Back in 2004, maybe?) Anyway, good on 'em for staying around for so long.
That's an interesting stat, but from what I remember of my days on Runescape, totally impossible for them to support. Last I logged in, they had 100 servers that served 2000 people a piece, so most they could support at one time would be like, 20,000.
One of my friends was into this borderline hardcore years ago. I didn't even realize it was still in existence.
Loved Runescape. Was the first MMO I sank a lot of time into. I haven't played it in ages, but I'll log in on occasion to see my items lol
Holy shit, the graphics aren't terrible anymore! Man, I used to love this game. People play it because of how easy it is to get a bunch of your friends playing it when you're in elementary-middle school. I have some great memories with that game, good to see they are doing well so that more kids can have similar experiences that I did.
I honestly can't believe this game is still running. As oldschool UO player, this game was the foot of many jokes back in 2001. I'll be damned...
I'll bet 200,000 GP (all that was left on my old account before I quit) that at least 25% of those are bots made by RWTers.
Part of it may be the upcoming overhaul of the battle system, which is looking to make combat more skill based than about who grinded just a little bit more.
It's really the only mmo I ever liked.

One of the reasons it got really popular was that kids could play it at school or at libraries. School computers restricted installation of new software so browser-based games dominated.
