Would be nice if you could offer an additional trial for prospective players who want to give Old School a try or even full f2p. I understand we didn't get that in this vote but it is needed for the longevity of that side of the game (as well as being a long term profit maker for you guys).

With EoC my combat involvement dropped significantly, one of the main problems for me in EoC is that bosses are made so hard. I am not talking about pre EoC bosses, i mean the EoC specific bosses like Vorago, KK and ROTS. Not only did this alienate the Solo community, but it also meant that you could only do them meaningfully if you were using skype or teamspeak, you couldn't just do them via PM or chat*

** has also shriveled down into a raisin, because PK became survival of the fittest. You could only really PK if you were pretty dedicated, because if you just went to PK for fun then you would get wrecked every time.

"our community is composed of 84% Men and 16% Women players"
like whaaaaaaaat? no way i believe that has any truth value to it until i see statistical proof. i have plenty of girl friends as equally as with guys so i'd even assume that the ratios of girls on Runescape is almost half compared to guy players.

and what is with the irregular block spike on the last graphical graph which happens to be 2012 having an abnormal amount of players with total levels of "below 100"?

anyhow, interesting post by Mod MMG... again .

Those were bots located in burthope that would login and just do the 3 free daily spins on the 1 month free membership program - that awful program that would give players extra xp. so after a month then they'd throw the account away. jagex never really paid attention to it until people reported it for about 4 months straight then finally late 2012 they fixed it and got rid of them.

It's definitely true that there are way more men than women. I'm not sure how they measured it, and whether they considered men irl with female characters women too, but I think this ratio sounds pretty accurate.

It might be that you attract more female friends because you are female yourself.

Also these new players might be a mass creation of bot accounts, but that hasn't won't be and that information can't be said to us. On the other hand they might actually be new players, players who tried the game and then left because they found out the community sucks for new players, or its just too much to learn.

One look at the ability bar and I'd leave, that is if i were new. It's no longer point and click, hey but wait guys we're bringing back the old combat system! That's nice but it won't be the same, I'll just end on the note that i enjoy eoc, and that some more info on those charts would be appreciated like how you figured out male and female ratios and what amount of people did you find that people have over 1b gp?

I was told one time jagex could't look into our banks, but apparently they can.

Since 2013 we brought a range of next generation anti-botting technology allowing us to detect all bots within hours with 100% certainty.

Wonder what the term "certainity" means here. I've learnt of detection method having specificity and sensitivity, and how they relate, but this 100% statement disappoints me.
