200k? I remember playing with 350k+. Those were the days...

We had 30k+ online a few weeks ago.

 

Oldschool RS is dead they said.....

 

It is, it's now leaning towards to Botschool RS. Back at the beginning, there were no bots and 60k was online. Now there are many different bots.

I noticed how W1 and W2 was full and all the other worlds had like 300+ players when its usually 150-200 ish

If you actually played, you would know there are still ALOT of legit players, yes - alot of bots too, but still. I think Oldschool will have more active players than RS3 this year tbh

80% bots lol

There have been 500k+ users online in the past.

 

RuneScape has never had enough game servers running concurrently to support 500k players wat.

lol, in 2007 runescape had 138 servers. That means, if all of them were full (which they never were, only about 8 to 12 servers were full usually) there would have been 276k people online. Rs was still growing during 2006, 2007, 2008, not peaking.

You are just being too nostalgic instead of being realistic.

max 60K on tho

Really? In 2007 there was 138 servers. If all of them were full (they never were) it would make 276k people online. Usually the first 8 worlds were full + some minigame specific servers (castle wars, pest control). If you are talking about earlier years (2001-2006), they had even fewer servers which means even lesser possible amount of concurrent users online.

Rather be realistic than over-nostalgic.

No it wasn't, theres 78 servers in osrs and if all of them were full, there would have been 156k online (which never happened in osrs)

The first day of osrs, concurrent players were about 60k-75k

 

Seriously, whats up with this kind of people making up so flawed statistics, that they arent even logically possible?

At least think before making up those 200k, 350k, 500k+ numbers out of your head.

 

Also, I have to mention that back then jagex had way inferior anti-bot system than what they have now. It wasn't a surprise if you could bot for a few years straight without getting banned (which I did in 2010-2011, botted whole 2 years about 10 hours a day, gathered about 340 days botted playing time on my main according to adventurer's log). Nowadays that would be unheard of. 

But dont get me wrong, obviously rs was more popular back then but not by that much what couple of you have been saying.
