estimates 855,594 daily players for RuneScape, and 2,274,221 daily players for OSRS.

I think it is safe to say the numbers from this website isn't true representations of Jagex's official numbers, including those they sent to UK Companies House and Shanghai Stock Exchanges, and publicly released on various public websites.

For instance, RS3 and OSRS combined don't have "18,014,177 total players or subscribers" they listed on their Runescape page. Last officially reported numbers from Funkong Interactive and Jagex are 8 million active players and 1.1 million subscribers.

Log into the game.

Look at how many worlds have like less than 100 players, RS3 will be lucky to have 1 world over 1k players.

Add it up.

Theres your average playerbase.

Someone logging it every day to get his free spins dosnt count, and you gotta remember those bots sitting there spamming websites all day and night dont really count.

So no the playerbase numbers are not real.
OSRS - Filled with harassers sad...~
- Give me Private Hiscores this should not be public information! Goodbye Forumers its been fun.

Online Players are just a snapshot of our total actual playerbase - 8 million active players and 1.1 million membership as I obtained from the last available Jagex and Fukong Interactive financial reports. These numbers are audited and presented to real governments and securities exchanges like the UK Companies House and Shanghai Stock Exchanges and therefore should be the, and only the, official real numbers of players.

Each of RS3 and OSRS has more than just "80 to 100 thousand players". "Online Players" of a game at a speciific time is absolutely not the actual players that game has, and different games have different ways (or even different definitions) to display "online players", and 99.99999% of the time aren't remotely comparable.

Besides, there is some question regarding the Runescape API player_count not working for a long time, so there is at least a chance even the "Online Players" counts on both the RS3 and OSRS websites may not even be reflecting the actual "Online Players", let alone real player counts real world governments, stock exchanges and consumers recognized.

That said, no. The "Online Players" OP and the other user mentioned on all kinds of Jagex and non-Jagex websites of both RS3 and OSRS aren't real numbers of each game's actual players count, and far, far, far from the real numbers, and conclusively so.

Look at what this site says:

Old School RuneScape
1,517,721 PLAYERS NOW

How real? :D

The concurrent player counter listed on the RS3 portion of the website is the combined concurrent players of:
Runescape 3's concurrent player count.
Oldschool Runescape's concurrent player count.
The current number of users on the forums.

The number of users on the forum is negligible. So to find the RS3 concurrent player count you simply subtract OSRS's concurrent players from the players currently online on the top of this page.

You can find an archive of this true player count at:

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

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.
