![]() Hi Everyone, I have been reading a lot of messages from players on my Twitter account and there seems to be a few misconceptions out there about the composition of our community, the effect of bots on player concurrency and what apparently constitutes the average player. I thought I would address all of these for the benefit of everyone in this dev blog. Our community is composed of 84% Men and 16% Women players and 90% play RuneScape in English (Gender & Age statistics based on a world wide survey we commissioned of tens of thousands of active players). So what does the ‘average’ RuneScape Player look like?
And despite rumours that everyone in RuneScape is very rich, the truth is only 1% of players have over 1 Billion GP in total wealth. ![]()

So, with this in mind a single goldfarmer bot used on a weekday would represent the equivalent of 12 ‘real’ players on the “players online now” count and therefore for the first time in a decade our active players represents our true “Players Online Now” numbers. We also recognise the transition to Evolution of Combat was too big a change for some, and we sadly lost some of our community with the update. However, we are making huge strides to now give players the choice as to which combat system they would prefer with the introduction of Revolution and the work currently being undertaken on ‘Legacy Mode’, which will bring back much of the old combat gameplay and interfaces, in the main game alongside Evolution of Combat. Thankfully we did see a lot of these lapsed players return to Old School RuneScape instead. Net result? Concurrent players is as high over recent months as it was a year prior, with more players returning to RuneScape and thousands of new players joining our amazing community than at any time in the last year. We’ve even seen counter seasonal positive growth the past quarter. RuneScape is a game and a social network, for me it’s always been about hanging out with friends, old and new. If you have old friends who may have left this is a great year for them to come back.

I have to admit, I like MMG, he's a very genuine and funny guy. These are interesting facts, they include RS3 and OSRS players so what you're seeing is representative of everyone with an account. |

MMG's Twitter is so surprising, such a funny guy lol, he doesn't even care what other people think of him nor what they think of him as CEO of Jagex... such a laugh And yeah interesting stats here, surprised at the low percentage of players from Australasia region having played on those world myself before joining TBE, they were always booming, made lots of different friends there |

So many talk bad about him, and even about the things you have identified as positives - such as how he is on Twitter. These statistics are really fun to read, as are the ones released by one of the Jagex Mods on Twitter every now and then. How the legitimacy of some of these numbers is already being questioned - Drumgun claims he plays 17 hours/day rather than the 13 hours which is posted in the report by MMG. Though this might just be that Drumgun forgot to add a few days when he was unable to play as much or a different time period has been used to gather the results. |

EHP is impossible to calculate on RS3 because the xp rates change every other week with updates/TH promotions and you have buckets of bonus exp and xp lamps skewing the equation. But yeah, his efficiency isn't all that good, all things considered. |
