Down to 2.3million; around a year and a half ago they had a little less than four million.

Mabye JaGeX has finally learned their lesson..

Considering their last update added shields which, according to Jagex themselves, are designed specifically with raiding in mind, I seriously doubt it. With every month that passes by, this game is plunged deeper into a hole, and only Jagex can bring it back out.

I won't hold my breath.

We just have to sit a watch. The rate is growing faster.

Their rate of loss is ever increasing, yet they cannot even make a decent update...are they even aware of their losses?

I am sure they are fully aware, and have been. I do not think they care, I have felt for a while they were driving that game into the ground. I think they are too preoccupied with Mechscape to care. Though that will never draw the numbers runescape did simply because "mech" games has a very limited target audience.

They are aware, but are determined to write the losses off as "casualties of necessary change" or as people who ultimately left for other games. I don't think they have any idea how many of those people actually left over the direct actions of Jagex themselves.

Hmm, too sure about those figures.

If you type in worldofwarcraft.com it gives only 1.2 million visitors which is half of Runescape numbers yet we know how many people play wow (alledgedly spl?)

did it for war too (which i am playing) and it shows only 10k when they have announced 750,000 members?

try it yourselves, there's something wrong there.

No, for WoW you don't have to go to the site to play the game.  Because it is downloaded, you can just open it up from your desktop, click that little icon, log in, and begin playing.  RuneScape, on the other hand, you have to go onto the site to play the game (due to it being browser based); therefore they are losing players.

Hm good point didnt think of that,.

It still seems strange because i occasionally pop back into runescape and it always seems very busy (much busier than other mmo's i've played).
