Tell forbes to change the official numbers on the official Runescape websites, then talk.

You can't and they won't, because as one of the world's premier financial magazines, Frobes knows very well "online players" on a business websites mean nothing to the millions of active players of RS3.

You can ask the real world regulators like stock exchanges, consumer bureaus, UK Companies House etc. They should be more than happy to tell you the actual real fact that RS3 has millions of active players.

Good, lets stick to jagex official websites where we can see that the OSRS player base is bigger than that of RS3. Im sure those imaginary millions will pop up to save the day but untill then OSRS got the edge over RS3.

There is no information on the Jagex websites that OSRS player base is bigger than that of RS3. It may only show "online players" numbers. Neither can we find anything on Jagex website that "OSRS got the edge over RS3", except that we know RS3 has a big edge over OSRS in revenue growth. Im sure those imaginary 100k-ish "online players" will pop up to save the day but who cares as OP didn't even ask for it and no players even care if OSRS is dying when they are happily minding their own business playing their own fond RS3.

Runescape is one of the most well-known video games on the planet and it was all started in a garage by three brothers back on January 4th, 2001. Now, in the year 2021, it’s a 20-year old MMORPG that’s played by millions of people around the world.


https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidjagneaux/2021/01/04/how-jagex-is-keeping-mmorpg-runescape-alive-after-20-years/?sh=67352a2547bf

Even Forbes, one of the most reputable financial magazine, recognizes it is still played by millions of people around the world, not just 30-35k, not just 100-120k, but millions.

A Forbes article from well over 2 years ago has nothing to do with the 108k players on OSRS right now nor the 29k RS3 players right now.

Forbes, interestingly, has had three articles about Runescape since then. One is Jagex being bought out by Carlyle group. The next one is highlighting a youtuber's OSRS experience. The latest one is, surprisingly, another OSRS youtuber's ironman experience. Both Youtube's audiences and Forbes know which game is more popular. Perhaps you can ask Forbes to write a new article about Necromancy, see if they're willing to raise RS3 from the dead!
Don't forget – RuneScape members get TWO free spins a day instead of the usual one!

It is with simple maths, but then again you need the minimum brain power to do the calculus. Thus resulting in the crystal clear result that OSRS player base is bigger than that of RS3. Go make your own threads about revenues and forbes and w/e else you to rant about but there we talk about the massive gap in the player base between OSRS and RS3, with OSRS having the edge.

Those OSRS articles show nothing about popularity. Ironman is about game mode and the other article is about an individual's experience. Neither can we find anything regarding player count.

100k out of 5 millions = 2%. Yes, it is simple math. Online players represent just leftover for a game with millions of active players like RS3.

The popularity can easily been seen on the official websites, where you can see that more players are active in OSRS than in RS3.

Yes the current active player base of RS3 is a leftover compared to that of OSRS, we can see that on the official websites.

They wrote articles on them because the videos and the games are popular. You think "the most reputable financial magazine" is going to write an article on a game played by no one??? They're following the money, and the money is where the playerbase is. Hint, it has 4 times the playerbase of RS3.
