Curious, can we actually get a discriptional break down;

1) How many of these are estimated bots.
2) How many of them are legit.
3) How many have been banned.
4) How many are active and actual players.

5) Can we get a more accurate concurrent online playercount, what's the estimation of the 129,000 currently online accounts per writing this, that are actually legit players... because that's a random based number, how many actual players are there in runescape. Ones that aren't botting, macroing, afking, alting and whatever else.

Last reported by Jagex in their latest official financial report, they have 1.1 million members that year, 1.1 million in 2020 and 1.0 million members in 2019.

Last reported by Fukong Interactive in their financial report in 2019, Jagex had over 8 million active players.

Bots and banned accounts, as well as concurrent player count are meaningless to the consumer and financial sectors and no online business keeps track of such metrics. Jagex is no exception. Based on official financial reports, concurrent player count is incredibly obvious just garbage information as 100k concurrent players out of 8 million active players is microscopically irrelevant.

There are some numbers of accounts banned by months on the Support webpage if you want to look at. If you are asking questions for Jagex, perhaps you can write to them directly and good luck to get a response they probably deem meaningful. Anyway, last revealed report shows OSRS banned 175k accounts in the week of May 9, 2019 while only 7k were banned on RS3 for a total of 182k bans.

BTW, the more up to date total number of Runescape accounts registered is "almost 350 mil" and not just "320 mil":

"Today RuneScape is one of the world’s longest-running online games, having welcomed almost 350 million player accounts, and is at peak popularity with millions of player.

It is what it says ...
320,000,000 RS accounts made
... so I don't get it!!!

Obviously you wanna make some mood point but I don't see the need for it.
RuneScape/OldSchool RuneScape are great games entertaining loads of players on a daily bases and these questions are pointless.

It is more like another upcoming rant.
