To add even more substance to it, RS3 FSW's "online players" were 3 times as many as OSRS FSW despite OSRS FSW could be f2p, 6-7k vs 2k from OSRS.


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!!

The blue line is OSRS's concurrent player count, in case you're having trouble reading the graph.

It makes no difference. Your graphs shows nothing about FSW specific "Online Players". I already replied to your original post that we didn't get over 2.5k concurrent OSRS FSW players before and after RS3 FSW.

Looks like OSRS concurrent playerbase exploded right after FSW on rs3 finished. Maybe OSRS players tried it out, sold their inverted skill cape tokens, then migrated to the game they actually wanted to play. Since membership is shared across both games, there's your 6-7k fresh start players ;)

Again, OSRS FSW concurrent players were flat below 2.5k peak before and after RS3 FSW. There was no indication they went to OSRS FSW.

FSW was an event, it wouldn't be surprised players stayed online more often and so did concurrent players increased although they were still the same number of players. It just showed concurrent players aren't reliable measure and no way is the same as active players.

Membership is shared across both games, and your logic, OSRS players can migrate to the game they actually want to play now and maybe that's why OSRS concurrent players are tanking while RS3 players are going up the recent month, and perhaps even more so with Necromancy coming up. ;)

I won't rule out this possibility but concurrent players certainly don't tell a thing.

And for the time being, according to the official numbers on the official jagex websites the OSRS active player base is about x4-x5 times bigger than that of RS3. Rn there are 90k OSRS active players and just 25k RS3 active players.

s it that each game has 80 to 100 thousand players each?


Definitely not real.

We can do the math. Even if all the "80 to 100 thousand players" you referred to are members and pay full membership price of $12.5 for a year:

100,000 x 12 x $12.5 = $15 mil only

But Jagex's real, and real word regulator accepted, revenue from membership is many times that number.

Jagex has millions of active players. We know millions are from RS3 alone, not sure about OSRS. We also know they have 1.1 million members. Now that 1.1 million members are real as they match the subscription revenue part of Jagex's total record breaking revenue thanks to RS3's 20% revenue growth.
