It's a nice milestone that almost 200 million accounts are created, regardless how many of them are bots.
The counter on the homepage says "players since launch". This is incorrect, as bots aren't players. It should say "accounts since launch" instead.

200m ppl? Hmm real numbers are probably more like this, 50m real ppl 150m botter names. RS is fastly becoming a joke thx to jagex's new 10 y/o childish mindset to updates.

Shouldn't this of waited until you were at 199,000,000 accounts or something?
I hope that somehow you get the remaining 2,300,000 in like a week because that giant number is going to get old fast. That's for emphasis right? It's going to be shrunk and put on your little banner/swish thing I can quickly flick left or right to hide and such? Or even better, it'll be moved to this thread and off the main page?
I tend to meet more people who don't read the main page than do, and I'm one of the people who does so, well. All I'm saying is that's going to get old. Congratulations and all, but yeah. You average like 15,000,000 accounts a year (basic maths via calculator and obviously not accurate at all) but that works out at just over 1m a month give or take.
That ocunter is going to be there for like two months or so then? I hope not.
Congratulations though and all. Lets hope the events you throw at us aren't both seemingly pointless SLAYAJMOD events, but also not predictable and as simple as chucking double items and XP rates.
Make it something good, Jagex. I'm interested to know what you'll do way more than you achieving 200,000,000 accounts.
Glad you said accounts, too. I would of fallen out of my seat laughing if you said players, lol.
Historic you say? Like some kind of record or was that word just being dropped to add emphasis on the sheer percieved awesomeness of the occasion and such? Means RuneScape is the first game to achieve 200,000,000 accounts, at least Browser based...yeah? Or do you just mean "worth remembering" and possibly "worth using to attract more potential investors" or something.
Yeah that's a low blow. Ignore that last part.
Anyway, in case even your forum-reading employees love tl;dr:
Congratulations guys.
Please move the counter after a week or so.
Congratulations guys.
What kind of events will you be doing? Something new and exciting I hope.
Congratulations guys.
Historical sounds cool. Record or just personal achievement?
Yeah.

Than take 5m for banned accounts. then take 150m for bot accounts / botters than 39m lost accounts accounts were people don't remmember username/******** or a pure / skiller ....
