how do you get this information? survey?


Would be the only way, I never received a survey, did you?

Could they get data from sources like Facebook? Or from attendees at Runefest?



A lot of players don't have Facebook and even less went to RuneFest.

I honestly think all that info isn't really true. Half the chicks are dudes
And I recall only seeing people in the level 200s and why base a time played on 3 people whom most people don't know. I'd say make a poll. Instead of false data.

I think things like Facebook, credit card info etc yes. But then again, they don't have everyone's personal info I think like people that never became p2p or never connected with Facebook (I even forgot you can do that LOL).

84% male-16% female is absurd.

By my own observations the female population is DOUBLE what Jagex claims it to be.

You might say Rowdy, how can you tell who is a girl or boy? PSSSSH Check out the Doctor title. You don't get that in a cracker jack box.

Hi Mod Mac - thanks for the update.

I had forgotten about how bad the bots and the gold-farmers were! The average member data was also cool.

A big thumbs-up for the multiple combat systems. I love that I can either smash opponents with EOC or sit back and relax with momentum. Mostly, I just play revolution - which is so cool!

Keep up the good work :)

Would probably be an extrapolation of available stats.

I am pleased to see that MMG has taken the time to post this information. Runescape has had it's ups and downs. I must admit that I stopped playing for a couple of years myself, sometimes with the fear of never returning. But I always found, at some point, something that brought me back to the game. As long-time player, comprehensive updates like the EOC and micropayments seemed quite intrusive to me. It took me some time to digest them.

Regardless of that, I have come to understand how micropayments are essential for maintaining the game alive while not raising the membership (which is actually good for those who don't like TH or Solomon's, for they still pay the lower membership price while not having to participate in micropayments involuntarily). Personally, EOC I quite enjoy! It gave a whole new vibe to combat for a skiller like me, and revived ranging and magic by balancing the combat triangle. It is also important to mention that Jagex is indeed trying hard to please those who dislike the new combat system (no need to elaborate on this).

Anyway, I believe that this is a great time for the Runescape community to enjoy the game more than ever. The Sixth Age has brought some amazing quests, World Events, and revelations that I had awaited for years! Some of the updates to come, like the Elf City and the Invention skill, sound more than promising. Runescape is ever-evolving; it is something characteristic of the most frequently updated MMORPG, and something that true RS players, for good or bad, need to grip their minds around. I can happily say that I have not ever, in all my years of playing, enjoyed this game as much as I am doing now.

Thanks for reading,

John of Troy

Great stats. Nice to see some reassurance here.

But I have only one question.

Why does Jagex continue to neglect my beloved minigame community?

Particularly Clan Wars (And f2p clan wars if you want to get nitty gritty).

Minigames are a complete bust, at least OSRS has come up with a semi nice solution with a matchmaking system, but yet there hasn't been a single update to help revive the main games situation?

Jagex, this needs to be addressed immediately. Stop ignoring a HUGE portion of the game that many people, including me, loved.
