would be interesting to know, or is rs population just totally transient.
i wonder if information like this is used to dictate the direction of the game.
all these little things are for marketing and avertisement i dont blame jagex at all for trying to draw in more legit customers. But i do think they should try much harder to take care of the many and many of leget loyal customers they all ready have.

i never said i thought it was easy to get rid of bots. But i do however fell that there is not enofe time and effort put into keeping bots off these servers this is all part of good customer service.
@Saauron: lol, yes. That's Exactly what I thought too.
How many of the 200m accounts are bots that they're actually trying to get rid of... daily I still get spammed, even with private set to friends-only.
Nevertheless, nice achievement!!
And of course nice surprises are always welcome!!

"We are racing towards the historic milestone of the 200 millionth RuneScape account being created."
That's account, not player. In this case, the term 'player' is most likely to mean account. It should probably say 'account' under the counter, sure.
As for people claiming that Jagex are creating bots, that's not correct and wouldn't even make sense. It'd be easy enough to simply fake the numbers on the counter. I really do not believe that they would do anything of the sort however.
From the start, Jagex have been about making a game which many can enjoy. This counter serves as a way to measure success. Unfortunately as a game becomes successful, people pop up who try to cheat or make a profit out of it. This is not in the spirit of the game and thus people have to be hired in order to create technology to combat this.
This company created, continue to create and maintain this game. They work hard every day to create new content, find new ways of removing botting and help the players with any problems they have from tech support to account hijacks.
They've invested large sums of money in order to stop bot developers.
From the start, the focus has always been the games developed.
Perhaps you should appreciate the game a little more, rather than complain about every little thing you can find wrong.
This is my thought on things. Feel free to disagree, but I felt I'd just put this in here.

I would love to see a true veteran cape.. 10+ years, RSC cape was nullified when anyone that signed in as an after thought were able to acquire one.
I think it would also be excellent if account sign up date could be added to adventure log. I personally signed up around 2001-2002.
Any Jagex feedback to this would be greatly appreciated.

or maybe we don't complain enough and that is why this bot problem is constantly pushed in the basement of jagex. You say there working hard to combat bots I say why don't we see results of this. One very simple reason why we don't, cause they don't work on it nearly as much as they should.
