Thank you for whoever bought up Hiscores. RS3 Hiscores show members and non-members. We can at least see the robustness of active RS3 members, nuking nay-sayers into oblivion with their flawed logic.

Yes we can see that the lowest ranked players in RS3 hiscores have 2k total experience while the lowest ranked players have massively more exp, since you have to actually skill in OSRS to appear on the hiscores. Combine this with the massive gap between the OSRS active player base, that is x4-x5 times bigger than that of RS3 with the fact that the OSRS community is not only bigger but also its activity is more intense too.

Surprise surprise, no one on OSRS plays FSW because there's no rare pets or invert capes being offered to be transferred into the main game.

Now that you're done comparing apples to oranges, can you get back on the actual topic of the thread, which is whether that number at the top of the screen is accurate or not.

Surprise, surprise. Those who play for rare pets and whatnots actively now even after FSW are part of the millions of active RS3 players too. Millions of active players are just millions of active players, regardless how many of them play for rare pets and how many of them not.

There cant be millions of active player, as the servers cant hold that many players. There are 112k OSRS active players and only 29k RS3 active players.

112k > 29k, further supporting the fact that the OSRS active player base is substantially bigger than the RS3 one

Players with 2k total experience and players with 200 mil xp in all skills are all count as 1 player each. I see plenty of level 3 players with far less than 2k xp in OSRS every day and don't tell us they aren't players.. oh I mean as long as they aren't banned and removed from the Hiscores they are still players.

Imagine, if you see even those that dont appear on the hiscores, how big the OSRS active player base actually is. Tho that can be also checked on the official jagex websites, where the numerical statement show us that the OSRS active player base is x4-x5 bigger than that of RS3.

We definitely don't see x4-x5 bigger OSRS active player base than that of RS3 from Hiscores. We can only see just active members alone, RS3 has a significant portion of Jagex's subscribers count, plus millions more perhaps playing free.

I dont expect people who cant do the math with the official numbers from the official jagex website to tell how many times the OSRS active player base is bigger than the RS3 one. To put it simply for those with modest brain power that cannot live the reality OSRS active player base is Bigger than the RS3 active player base.

On the week of FSW release in RS3, average concurrent players jumped from 23,224 on september 24's week to 26241 on october 1st's week. Fresh start for 3000 more concurrent players? Definitely not what RS3 was looking forward to. Means most of these "6-7k" fresh start players were just existing RS3 players that jumped over.

But remember, this is the game with allegedly """millions of active players""" LOL!!

Don't forget – RuneScape members get TWO free spins a day instead of the usual one!

I see from this thread alone some people already can count and do the math to show us just from RS3 Hiscores alone we know RS3 has at least hundreds of thousands of members. All the real world regulators, perhaps including WHO shoud be able to verify the millions of active RS3 players and perhaps give help to those who have a problem admitting the reality "online players" are just a snapshot and very tiny percentage of the total active regulator approved player base of a game.

The first week of FSW obviously weren't all of them, and don't forget concurrent players weren't total players. We might see 6-7k peak FSW concurrent players but in reality there were closer to 60k actual FSW members.

Existing RS3 players couldn't have just "jumped over" to FSW as it required a fresh account, a paying fresh account to be more precise.

Please dilbert, do tell us where the real numbers are instead of namedropping random regulatory bodies, as if it bolsters your illogical posts.
