According to this the daily reach has stayed about the same so the amount of players has stayed the same. From http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/runescape.com |

That is people visiting the pages, that is not paying memberships. I am curious to know how many paying memberships they have had 2006- 2008. Many unsatisfied customers still visit their pages . LOL Many members cancelled their memberships as well, That is why Unless you have the actual memberships numbers from 2006-2007 it is impossible to tell how many players quit. |

You guys with your stock bs ...
Bots as in member bots k? member bots were supposely the ones who stole the "credit cards" and since the update those vanished Do you honestly think there members increased? lol seroiusly? Every freaking weekend i see 180k players online, december 10 they had a record of 220,000 people online (viewed from forum) NO WAY THERE MEMBES INCREASED!!! why do you think they fired there head of RS from b4? why do you think they got so many ads? they lost alot of money formn members now they are paying mmosite like miniclip to drag there playerbase to play RS.
BTW i know you got no proof from stock info or any proof, i meen i don't either but my facts point to the ovious! PKERS-MERchanters-Vetarans-bots/rwters= mass loss of memberbase |

Originally posted by nightwing70 I think you misunderstood. We agree with you. I would like to see the numbers because I think Jagex was downplaying the actual number losses. I think the numbers were much higher than what they have stated because of the sheer number of people that I know that left. I do not think that the bots were the majority of the membership loss. I disagree with that because most bots were nonmember bots, the majority of the membership loss was in actual law abiding players. Parents, families, clans, and organizations massively quit at the same time, and many more in the months that followed the updates. They are still receiveing losses due to players that have left and come back to find their game in ruins. There are still feeling membership losses from this because some players tried to stick it out and are finally giving up. They will continue to have this loss for a while to come. Though they will never turn over these numbers publicly, it would be nice to see how many new memberships and cancelled memberships they have had through the last 2 years, to have a better understanding of exactly how much this was and when it happened. Though you and I both know that it was severe, and the majority of it happened when the updtes were announced and implemented. They attempted to counter this at the same time with new memberships due to excessive advertising, and PR events, though I think that in itself will not solve their problems due to the fact they only try to get players in the door, not keep them. Once they get them in the door they treat them so badly they leave. They have a high turnover rate, but not long term players anymore. |

They didnt fire their old CEO. The old CEO still works in another position in the company, and the *new* paypal CEO Geoff was appointed around the same time they ruined staking [a few months b4 dec '07].

Originally posted by V_Repoman_V I think that they're talking about the head of RuneScape, not CEO of Jagex. |

Do I While I fully support the way Devilliscious has been doing her best to help make Jagex learn to respect players and take a refreshed look at trying to fix properly the many failures that they keep creating I also feel she got very stressed from what to me is recognised semi-professional spammers that do anything for an arguement, my advice (if you choose to accept it) is to take a break so you can relax - remember stress is a major cause in the increasing levels of cancer and many other major diseases.

or 
The most important thing first to remember is too much time playing any game on computers means a lack of activity and sunlight so leads to bad health and will shorten your life for sure. Ricketts is one of many supposedly removed diseases that is making a comeback due to this so please help yourself before anyone else by controlling time playing. Go to this link 
Oh Devilliscious, sorry but you are wrong with bots just in F2P as I got so sick of the huge numbers preventing me from killing blue dragons in Ogre Dungeon for hides to craft that I had to devise ways to cheat against them and ruin the way they were programmed, how the bots did this was pure rangers with no other stat or else high level accounts they had hacked with software while also finding peoples bank account online passwords. Good security on your computer is a must so learn not to give even a good friend you password or let friends look over your shoulder when playing and keep decent antispyware installed.
