I've noticed the in game things in OSRS are more dead with the minigame chats, but the thing is, it can be a number of reason for peak time players are on, also third party software that has changed things. Things like Discord are where the majority of players go to in clan chats that are quite large.
A lot of mmo games are struggling but Jagex still targets the niche market for some of the most grindiest mechanics and collection log completions. This game has countless years of progress to endure and players will always come back for a taste of a new update. I think if they branch out to mutli consoles, this game could really have a better outcome marketing wise for younger people to join.
Its very true that the MMO seems to be past its peak. There also seems to be more and more competition for the same audience. Your viewpoint on expanding into consoles seems like a solid suggestion. For the sake of people that seem to love this game, hopefully someone takes it seriously.

How much of that growth is from monetized social media accounts Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, etc - where money is generated through sponsors and advertisers?
How much is from FSW events which would be monetary growth, but not evidence of growth in the playerbase?
How much of your percentages include the entire playerbase across all versions of RS?
It would be stellar if 20% growth could be attributed to new players. Note: Not new accounts - solely by actual fresh-faced players.
It is good that existing players help the game by making and paying for new accounts to participate in FSW events but although it is more revenue it isnt really evidence of growth of the actual playerbase.
Likewise, it is good to have developed money streams from other sources like monetized social media.
It is amazing to see someone talk about what 'we' want to do, while dressed as a regular player. Why would someone playing a game concern themselves with the games financial status?
Its one thing for a player to discuss what they see when they log in to play. Its quite another to speak like you work for the CFO of Jagex.

It is extremely easy to see RS3 doesn't rely on social media exposure, even if you just look at how much Jagex spent on OSRS social media.
What's wrong with new players? Every game has to rely on getting new players to survive. Money from new playes is equally as good as money from existing players.
If FSW is getting new players to pay, put more efforts onto it, but it doesn't mean Jagex isn't also continuing to deliver content and monetize existing players. Don't you see content like Fort Forinthry and Wilderness Reborn? It is certainly aimed for existing players who are well versed in old Jagex content. It is more than wise to work on attracting both new and existing players. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Actually it isnt extremely easy to see RS3 doesnt rely on social media.
Nothing is wrong with new players. Where are you hiding them?
I know established players that arent currently playing because they went to play FSW. For one thing it can be lucrative. You bring back items to the regular game and try to resell them.
What would prompt someone that is unfamiliar with Runescape to start in FSW? In fact, the name - Fresh Start - sort of establishes that an established player is starting again - freshly.
