Taking this graph of bonds traded per year makes up for about 7 Million dollars. OSRS bonds are the only MTX I know of. Unless theres something else that makes a 20 Million dollar difference between MTX revenue. Meaning RS3 Makes 9-11 million dollars more then OSRS. Don't underestimate the whales. Take it lightly since I couldn't grab 2018 profit numbers or 2016 bond numbers it's an unequal comparison, but the idea is still the same.

Kinda big. When I said they have bigger plans it's either how to attract players to the lesser community that makes more per player or add MTX to osrs. Even MMK stated that they are being increasingly pressured to increase revenue for OSRS. (Also stating to stay as far away from MTX for as long as possible tyjfc) Btw you can go see all their listed salaries. It's really not that big.

It's exactly how they broke profit records with 50k actives (rn idk average) even though they boasted 200k+ active players daily all those years ago. OSRS has potential to make more money but as of right now RS3 be killin it fam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
