I googled your thing.
It says it's wildly inaccurate and useless?
Says Roblox should be number 1. My m8 works there just started.
You called me a user and now you're asking me what I don't use? What?

Anyway back to the question.

So you "google" something and pick whatever you like and think they are "popular"? OIC! :D

Meanwhile, many household magazine listed RS3 as one of the best MMO in 2023. Just a couple of typical examples:

Sport Ilustrated


"Another classic representative of the MMORPG genre, Runescape was released in 2001 and is somehow still growing thanks to the constant addition of content. Expanding on lore and quests that are two decades old is not easy, but at this point the devs have had a lot of experience. All that might make newcomers hesitate to dive in, but worry not: Runescape’s users are quite a friendly bunch and always eager to help out, which is no doubt part of the reason why this title is still thriving."

PC Magazine


"Runescape is an MMORPG that's been around for ages; more than 20 years in fact, and still going strong. Despite its age, Runescape remains popular, receiving frequent updates to keep long-standing fans happy and engaged.

The game found its footing well before the MMO character-archetype trinity (tank, DPS, and healer) became popular, so it uses a rock-paper-scissors system where melee beats range, range beats magic, and magic beats melee. Gameplay is largely a point-and-click affair, but it incorporates a blend of combat scenarios, social interactions, quests, and mini-games. Runescape is easy to get into, and its casual feel and old-school style may engross you enough that you may never want to leave."

ROFL!!!!! Popularity is not defined by how many concurrent players, bots and real world traders included.

In the real world, when players talk about popularity and what are the best games they recommend, they talk about real players and real content, as well as social interaction (note: social interaction among players and not how many sponsored content creators calling their sponsors hugggeeee).

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.
