Right...
I do personally know quite a large number of your players in rs3 personally.


Do you know a large number of players in OSRS personally?

Go to the OSRS forums or just about all kinds of social media and you should know a large number of their players featured in all kinds of bots and RWT content. :D

I know some of the large OSRS players too... like MoonMoon always with 12-15k concurrent viewers, and other like Zizaran too... but wait... they were only big OSRS players for a month or two when they were paid...

Morale of the story: Popularity can be bought temporary with $$$, but real popularity of a games can't be bought with $$$. It is in the players' hearts.. just like fun and joy.


Ye I do know a lot of osrs players personally. Never heard of the ones you're on about.
We obviously all keep in touch...
So

Back to the question....

Even some of the people who think OSRS may be more "popular" than RS3, they still pick RS3 over OSRS.... like this one:

1 RuneScape


"Despite being less popular than its Old School counterpart, RuneScape is a regularly updated MMO that offers plenty of content for you to sink your time into. In recent years, it's pivoted to more active gameplay, cutting down on the grind that has characterized RuneScape for so long. It's a nice balance between grind and action, but overall it's one of the most casual games on this list.

RuneScape has undergone massive changes over its life, which is good or bad, depending on where you stand. However, if you're looking for a casual MMO that is forgiving to new players, you can't do much better than RuneScape."


3 Old School RuneScape


"While Old School RuneScape's gameplay is addicting, it is a little dated as it's based on the 2007 version of RuneScape. Try RuneScape if you want a similar but modern experience. Both games are cross-platform, so you can pick up on PC where you left off on mobile

Try RS3 if you want a similar but modern 2023 experience
. Get it?

Can you explain yourself here?
I'm not following any of your links.


All those magazines are very popular. I don't think I need to explain who are Sports Illustrated, PC Magazine etc. If you really can't follow them or don't know them, there are links to contact them. Help yourself and ask them why they are a bit down on YOUR "popular" OSRS please. :)
