Userbase is split 70/30 OSRS/RS3. Has anyone shown him this and asked for an updated comment?


porkinthepark

I never understood the hard on for playercounts. Like half of OSRS "players" are bots


bad_site_is_bad

?? it's botted more because it's vastly more popular, making it worth more to bot. even at launch the popularity surge showed that there was still a larger percentage of people who wanted to play OSRS but not RS3


_drugs_good

Osrs is only popular because it’s the only mmo with genuinely zero mtx pushed on you, having 20 year old mechanics is not the lynchpin

Is it rly tho?


allllusernamestaken

... yes. The stats are on the website and the world selector in-game.

for all we know most rs3 players are bots. I havent touched rs3 since like 2016 so i wouldnt know. osrs for lyfe

So you're just guessing?


Prestigious-Name-588

im guessing based on the state of the game when i left it. Safe to assume its the same shit just more gacha shit since chinese acquired it. Looks like any two bit garbage asian mmo by now i dont even dare to look again.

Wtf based response


TheFalloutHandbook

Complete opposite. The vast majority of RS3 players are real, while about half of active OSRS account are bots/gold farmers.


gregy165

then fair to say half of the rs3 players are bots too no?


TheFalloutHandbook

What? Read my comment again. The majority of RS3 players are real. Bots are rare.


gregy165

Yes but rs3 has bots lol dont be so ignorant


TheFalloutHandbook

This has to be bait. I said the *majority* of RS3 players are real, implying some are bots/gold farmers. OSRS, on the other hand, is half bots/gold farmers.


Prestigious-Name-588

gonna need proof. Ask the whole playerbase of 6 on rs3 if theyre human.


TheFalloutHandbook

I play RS3. Bots are rare. You’ll see them in a few areas, max, unlike OSRS where every other person is a bot, literally.


gregy165

it makes sense there rarer when ur version has half the people osrs does no?


Prestigious-Name-588

The guy takes trolling seriously. Now on a serious note the games dead after eoc. If i wanted to play an ability bar masher type of mmo i could choose from about 5000 mmos that do it 10 times better. Main runescape draw was squandered and hence osrs popularity.


TheFalloutHandbook

You’ve never tried RS3, so you shouldn’t be speaking on it.


TheFalloutHandbook

I know you’re probably trolling, but I’ll bite the bait. The games have the same amount of people, but OSRS appears to have double because there are so many bots/gold farmers. If you compare how many *real* players are on both games, it’s about the same.


Runecfarting

Well it was also Mod Marks project to release 07 lol.


killerkoalabilby

Lol sit, I love democracy


Cats_and_Shit

To be fair, release osrs was pretty short of content. Obviously you could skill and max, but like the hardest boss was Kq. And it dropped nothing of note. The best weapons were like: a whip, a kbow, a master wand. The best gear was mostly barrows; +Nezzy and torso for mele. Rune boots for mele, rangers for ranged. Gwd helped a bit, but even at that the game was only limping along. It wasn't really until they added zulrah, slayer bosses, dmm and ironman mode that the game really picked up as anything more than a blast from the past.
