Old School Runescape surpassed 200,000 athletes last weekend, which was not as high as early in 2024 but impressive. Some of these accounts are almost definitely bots, but if you give tens of millions of or take it, many people are still disappearing from the first game released in 2013 based on the game released in 2007.
This is not a kind of perfume. The number of players is steadily increasing compared to the previous year, which suggests natural growth rather than a sudden trend. Runescape Reddit is full of players who say they are checking out the game for the first time from players. And where have you all have been in the last 20 years?

That RUNESCAPE Magic
My friend Jordan showed Runescape for the first time in 2009 or 2010 after school one day. I can't remember exactly because I was blurry and playing a lot of games at the time. Jordan claimed this game as an MMO. This is a genre that did not have much experience at the time. I played hell at Adventure Quest Worlds, but that was about it.
I saw him showing me his character, using magic spells, wearing a nice cloak, interacting with other players, baking bread, killing rats, and exploring what looked like a giant world. I fell in love. After 15 years, the game is still filled with the same scale and wonder. There is an infinitely attractive thing about the graphics and slow speeds of the date. It's not for everyone, but after this time, the game is still being updated and is now one of the deepest and richest games.
JAGEX continues to update the old RUNESCAPE. Most updates are made with the community, and regular events and new quests are enough to keep them busy between experienced players and more important content updates. The most recent update package will show a series of expansion over a year and a half with Varlamore: The Final Dawn on July 23.
The game is already huge, but it continues to grow.
There is nothing else like the old RUNESCAPE
In terms of content depth and cross -deckitors support, my closest comparison is World of Warcraft and has seen its own resurrection over the past few years. It is these players who lead the modern growth of OSR. The popular Waew Wau Trimmer, the only part of the only fang guild, has recently started playing Runescapes because Wow has been raising some insolvency. This is the natural cycle of MMO. Play until the content is dried and then go to something else. OSRS is a beneficiary of slow speeds in other MMOs.
This trimmer leads many traffic to RUNESCAPE from a young audience who didn't have a chance to check the game 20 years ago. People can escape the graphics and old -fashioned 'tick' systems (0.6 seconds long internal clock systems that indicate all actions, such as fighting, meals, or cooking), but they will fall to the side when you start seeing a huge amount of content in the game.
The content of Runescape is eternal. In other words, even if there is a new update, old content will suddenly become useless. We have seen a lot in MMOS over the years. Especially in modern times, which focuses on modern epidemiology and time-gate dungeons and air strikes, we have seen a lot of things in modern things. There is no one of these OSRs. You can play completely at your own speed. The content will always be there and it will not go anywhere.
RUNESCAPE is also comprehensive. The ultimate 'number go up' game. He is satisfied with the obsession. If you start to reach the upper brake point beyond about 90 technologies, the game is above all. The game can't play y unless it is X technology. The challenge is to be with yourself. Rather than buying a wonderful skin on the Battle Pass track, it's one of the few games that reward the player according to time, devotion and technology.
Older RUNESCAPE will have time in the sun. We can hit 250K or 300K players during the summer, and the players wither again. But this game will continue to stop in the background with new content and new updates, which may still be out of the background, but it may be a new version someday.
