Seems about right. Seren gained popularity from the Elf series, Godless from WE3, and more people had the chance to play HW and switch to V. Saradomin is rebounding nicely from the negative hate of the first part of the 6th age, and the other factions haven't had significant content since the last time the stats were released, with the exception of Sliske who's content was negative.

Now if we could only convince everyone to pick a faction based on their beliefs and values instead of which faction is "trending"...
To those cursed by war and pest, Come into the light of Armadyl and rest. This is the law of Armadyl.

There were a few things that took me by surprise on this chart:

Armadyl's
popularity. I was surprised to see that, despite the lack of lore and quests (RoP, looking at you Raven), Armadyl seems to be the 2nd place, just above
Zamorak
, who I expected to be 3rd, which brings me to my next one...

Saradomin's
lack of popularity. I knew the lore as of the past few years had been putting him in a less "perfect" light, but for him to actually be the last of the Big 6? I never expected the
Godless
to be above Saradomin, or any god (except V) tbh.

Sliske's
measly percentage. I thought after all we've done with him between Kindred Spirits and all the events he's been in, we'd get more support for him. Though I suppose him being put out as a "really bad bad guy" might've killed that chance.


The things that didn't surprise me were:
Zaros
being on top.
V
and Bandos (he doesn't even get a colour, mostly because idk how to do brown on here) being rock bottom. Nobody gives a crap about either of these 2, and V is questlocked anyway.
finally Seren's (need a colour for her too. How do we get like a sky blue in here, not Armadyl's colour) spike in popularity. Ever since Within the Light, this was inevitable.
A
World Guardian
must learn to find
Balance
in themselves.
Only then can they
Control
themselves and forge their own
Fate .

@Sepulchre -

You seem to forget that Armadyl's new color is orange ( "I have taken on the aspect of the phoenix..." ). :P

But on to substance.

I was mildly surprised that Armadyl (just barely) maintained 2nd place myself. I thought for sure that Zamorak would have overtaken Armadyl, but it's just not quite there yet.

I also don't think it's entirely fair to blame Raven for the lack of Armadyl content (or even anything like a Lores and Histories). He is just one guy, after all. I can assure you that probably nobody else at Jagex is pushing harder for Armadyl content than he is, we just don't see it.

I'll again question if people are hopping on to bandwagons; perhaps Godless got an influx of people newly declaring after Tuska Comes ? They were doubtless seen as the "none of the above" faction in that event; furthermore, having Vorago (a very well-known boss, basically an icon at this point) as an ally and champion, even if for that one event, is definitely going to be a big plus for the Godless. To be more on the nose about it, Sliske's Scoreboard even uses the Godless symbol for Vorago's score. If anything, I might have expected Godless to have gained even more .

I was surprised to see V gain as much as he did; what with being quest-locked and killed off mere minutes after we meet him. Then again, lots of people still like Guthix and Eddard Stark, so...

Judging by the change between the V and Bandos, I'm hoping that by next year, Bandos will go to dead last.

Along with Tale of Nomad, isn't Raven going to be offering some bonus content this month with Zanik? Like she'll be going on her own adventures, and Zanik does express regret after Nomad's Elegy that she won't be able to redeem the Bandosians. However, that content is going to be a little difficult, considering her different fates at the end of Elegy.

Since Seren herself is locked behind The Light Within, I hope that Nomad's Elegy, even if it would be another lock, could lead the way into future Bandosian content. Though personally, I would like to see the faction as a whole go away. It would offer some consolidation.

Zanik is dead. How would she have content? Either way, I hope we have the chance to send her back to Bandos' personal hell for her. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

It has been a year, so that is probably not the case as not everyone was around for the event. It's the fact that people slowly move from one faction to another, either Role-playing reason, or in-game they had doubt, or someone finally explained what the faction represent, and how they are in a way, good for Gielinor.

Over all I am as well as surprise of all this.
