TH isn't leaving, players sure are.

(Concurrent) players are "leaving" in most online games, especially MMOs. Yes, TH and loot boxes stay, of course.

Anyway, the good thing is there are always some players like you, Runelower, who are still actively playing Runescape even after hitting maxed levels. This is still a very attractive game to most players. :) 16k players on average per day! Crazy!

Not as crazy as many of those nosed-divingn MMORPGs with 50k concurrent players and 80% of them are 3PC/bots. :D

RS3 is actually doing quite well comparing to their MMORPG peers, partially thanks to the TH and Runecoins. 3PC are still players though? It's just another way to access the game, just like mobile. Also, as has been stated by Jagex, osrs bots are banned. They barely ban the bots in RS3. Thanks for reminding us of that! You can check their stats to show that if you'd like :)

You think that TH and runecoins keeps people playing the game? Then why do the numbers prove otherwise? 200M all skills, Trimmed comp Cape, MQC

OSRS is "banning" bots? Why are there so many OSRS players complaining about 3PCs and bots and Jagex have to keep making statements after statements after statements? And don't forget I said RS3 is doing much better on getting rid of bots than their MMORPG peers, not just OSRS. We certainly don't see the kind of old school bots in WoW/WoW Classic, Lineage, Maplestory and such.

Of course MTX like TH and Runecoins keep Jagex's game going. Without that extra revenue they would be moving onto more profitable new games for new communities already. Concurrent players don't mean a thing, or else the fat lady is already singing in OSRS NOW. :D

My 2 cents.

People need to stop being so whiny about every gosh darn little thing.

It seems like half the player base didn't grow up from being whiny little brats and are now whiny adults. Honestly, should of seen this coming because my generation is largely the generation that grew up playing RuneScape and half of this generation can't balance a checkbook or even effectively mix vegetables in their diets on their own.

GROW UP. Being an adult means being responsible for your actions. Don't blame Jagex because YOU bought TH keys. It is your fault. There is nothing in RuneScape forcing you to buy keys or pay for anything other than your membership which you can now do without even paying real money.

The gifts that we have been given in this game are overlooked because thousands of whiny people now can't take responsibility for their own actions and have to complain about EVERY LITTLE THING.

If you don't want MTX in this game then go about it like adults do. Don't spend your money on it. The player base and dollars will decide if it needs to stay in the game. It's called voting with your dollars. Complaining like CHILDREN will not change anything and only slows down progress.

I've been playing this game for nearly 15 years now and have never been so disgusted in the amount of petty complaining and whining as I am now.

Take this however you want. But for Guthix' sake stop complaining and act like civilized people and take some responsibility! 15 Year RS veteran - stock trader for fun - intellectual - salesman

I enjoy doing th ingame, even if I am against it in principal (not saying no to "free" keys). I also highly concerned with the ever increasing greed and microtransactions in many games being released, this trend needs to stop.

For me, if you can vote for it to have it, it would be as the same as EU referendum, can live with the crap, but will leave the crapper, if exit is provided!

It's 2019 and ppl dont buy keys? You will be laughed at if you never bought keys.

I bought keys only with gp earned in game (via bonds), and only used them on cosmetics promotions.

Essentially to me, TH is just another regular game play content. There is no MTX factor to me.
