I'm curious how you got that ratio of males to females.

Probably just based on ingame gender and not real life gender.

Bit shocked as guys tend to love playing as a female character.

I'm curious about that, too. There are studies showing, overall, females are actually close to half of the gaming community, contrary to popular belief.

On the flip side, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of females playing with male characters to avoid certain types of unwanted 'attention'.

My guess is the new players are:
- People who came back for old school
- Old school bots
- "Friends" who were referred for bonus xp
Would explain low average total too and why they all are >100 ttl.
Why do today what you can postpone tomorrow

If it's not that then I have no idea..



Lol & nor do I.

I've been lucky enough to meet 2 of the data analysis staff at Jagex. I got the feeling that the stuff they did was state of the art.

It would be cool if they could run a Q&A session.

I would really like an answer to this question too. I have lots of female friends on RS and of course, they could be pretenders. But how does Jagex know what my gender is?

I believe this came from a random survey jagex sent out. I got it about a couple months ago

Lol sorry but EOC KILLED rs


Nah man it got better.
What was the point of attacking something and waiting till its dead instead of using some tactics and your mind to kill something faster and more effectively?

You guys dont understand that a game needs changes I like some nostalgia thats why I show up on oldschool some times but it gets boring coz EOC is better.

It isnt perfect but nothing is perfect.
Pathetic people crying about EOC.

Just quit it then and dont show up on the forums only to complain and cry about EOC. Stop

I love EOC. People in the community with your attitude is a far larger problem than EOC in my opinion. Don't like EOC? Play old school. Don't like old school? Wait for legacy mode. At any rate realise that your opinion doesn't represent the opinions of all, and try to make your comments a little more along the lines of constructive criticism rather than just criticism as this will at least give Jagex an idea of how to satisfy what you want rather than just making them feel like they did a bad job.
