>If Runescape was on Steam, it would be the third most played game
>if Runescape Oldschool was on Steam, it would be the fourth most played game
can someone explain this? I thought this game stopped being a thing like 8 years ago
>>341365378
*Runescape classic would be fifth most played
my bad
Speaking of Runescape, this is coming to steam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/452780
>>341365378
Because classics take forever to die out. What's so hard about this to understand?
>>341365619
smash bros melee is the only game that came out in 2001 that is remotely as popular as runescape is today
>>341365378
I don't know, people fucking love runescape. Like, the people that like it REALLY like it. I can see why, as far as time sinks go you probably can't do much better, especially not one that can run on a toaster.
>>341365378
Runescape became a normie game. They warped and distorted it to apply to the WoW crowd. Streamers picked it up and it shot off from there.
This makes me want to revisit my nostalgia screenshot folder.
>>341365378
The current and Old School figures are counted on the main website.
So actually there would be more Old School players.
>>341366313
That doesn't explain the popularity of the old school version, though. Or the fact that it was popular back then too.

feel free and post away m8. I've only witnessed Zezima in a video game once, and it wasn't Runescape. I played him in a game called Steel Sentinels (was on a website called funorb, basically multiplayer flash games developed by Jagex linked to your runescape account) was kind of ironic that the game I ended up seeing him in was some mediocre flash game I checked out for half an hour
>>341366634
Source?
>>341366662
Old School came out of nowhere and it was everything the players wanted and had none of the shit they hated in RS3
>>341366896
My old bank.
I made an updated screenshot before quitting the game shortly after.
>>341366896
Funorb was such a terrible collection of games but Arcanists was the tits.
>>341367038
this
>>341367038
What I'm most surprised about is how the re-introduction of the Grand Exchange to OSRS was met with surprisingly little protest. I guess it wasn't as hated as I thought it was.
>>341365378
>Runescape Old School
RSC or RS2?
>>341367670
I'm talking about the official RS2 remake, no one plays RSC.
>>341365575
But Runescape already is an idle adventure, if you aren't using macros then you are probably an autist.
>>341367654
Nah it turns out people dont actually like standing around for hours trying to buy bullshit in an already long and grindy game not to mention half the trades would be scams
mostly bots
>>341367654
By that point Jagex had already added things in, so it wasn't a surprise. Plus everyone was using a third party website to buy and sell shit
http://www.misplaceditems.com/rs_tools/graph/?display=avg&interval=qtr_hr&total=1&mid=1452037158
This is an interesting site. Runescape is doing considerably better then they were 3 years ago; but nowhere near their prime numbers in 2008
>>341365378
Other way around
>RS3 page counter is 70k
>32k is in RS3 with 38k in OSRSBoth are still good games in the end, I wish RS3 had different attack style types for melee weapons outside a fixed damage type and Monkey Madness II
>>341367772
Oh... that's too bad.
>>341365378
Because Runescape is free and can be played on literal toasters so every BR, Russian, Libyan, whatever that has a computer and an internet connection can play it.
>>341367654
It failed a poll the first time it was brought up. Then a year later, people were tired of standing in a bank for an hour trying to buy the 1m pess they wanted
>>341368403
except you will find that they probably don't
>>341368403
Most people who play Runescape are americans.
>>341365575
how the fuck does facebook games keeps getting greenlight?
>>341365378
Man, old school runescape taught me a hard lesson why you need good connections to get through life.
>>341366896
I played with him in SS once too.
>>341367173
Miner Disturbance was great, and Steel Sentinels was pretty fun.
>>341366896
I saw him in Catherby once as I was fishing.
Runescape should have more SMT-like tracks
