Throughout the years players, many times, have used those numbers to hold a debate or construed their arguements but most of times nothing good came out of these discussions/debates.
The only conclusion we can make is is that RuneScape is still 'hot' among gamers and always will be in the future.
Of course nothing good came out of such "debate" because concurrent players are meaningless and mean very different things, and calculate/guesstimate very differently from game to game.
Real life case of Fukong Interactive with Shanghai Stock Exchange when the former owned Jagex we can look at. Originally they filed their official annual financial reports of Jagex with only references to outside sources they found on "popularity", "guestimations" etc. They were not acceptable by the Chinese stock exchange. They were ordered to provide material numbers or otherwise be delisted, and that's why we got to know how many actual active and members Jagex had, and together with it the actual growth of RS3 and lack of from OSRS.
Moral of the story: we can't argue with the governments with such "real numbers" and we better don't.
Some people may believe OSRS is the number one MMORPG in online player based on the "real numbers" (in their opinion only) from that specific website, but the reality is if you take this to the governments, stock exchanges and accredited consumer bureaus the chance is you will get ridiculed, and perhaps there will be an formal inquiry to Jagex as some famous video game critics opined.
