200 million accounts
Regardless of why they are made, this is still a historical marker for the game.
It truly shows that people , yes real people, took the time to make the accounts for one reason or another.
I do not care if they are injection accounts or real accounts made by the players.
The fact still stands that the community has made this possible for one reason or another.
The players have the true control of the game, so if you do not like what you see then maybe this is the light we all needed our eyes opened up to.
Take control of the game and stand up for the game you believe in , whether it be in forums or in-game. Just show that you want the control to prevent accounts that will not be for real game play out of the community and speak out to those whom try to destroy our game / hobby.
As it has always been said
" If players want it or want to use it, someone will make a cheat for it or harm others in game for it, as the demand makes it possible "
Players are always the key element of the game we all play. The things that we do not like in the game are there because not enough people are standing up against it in-game and also forums.
Forums more so , yes, but it needs to be seen to more people in the game.
So I say congrats to the community that has made this 200 million accounts possible > for better or for worst > that has always been up to the players.
Thanks,
Thee Ace

This is crazy. Yes, there is alot of if not most of the accounts are bots and gold farmers and such, but its not about how many accounts belong too actual players. Its about how many accounts have actually been made. 200m is a big achievment. congrats jagex!
Most of the comments I've been reading on this post is about real player verses bots percentage. Though it would be cool to know exactly how many real players there are. So, instead of just telling us how many accounts have been made, is there any way of telling how many of those accounts belong to real players of the game? Like. how many of the 200m accounts have lvl 70 plus all skills and atleast 70% of quests done? Get that number and you would have a good place to start scrubbing out unused and bot accounts.

That might help you get rid of alot of the bots and gold farmers. Look at how long they have been a player verses what they have done in game. So, a guy with a lvl 5 account for 2 years who does nothing but mine and/or smith bars only but never has ores or bars or even gp in his bank should raise afew eyebrows, yes?

if i had to guess i would say over half of runescape accounts are bots. but to all of us who have been here since the release of runescape 2 congrats to us =). Hopefully we get some good celebrations rewards instead of untradable items. Congrats again =D.
