According to Jagex the vast majority of the players that have left are F2P botters, and that their subsciber numbers have increased due to returning legit players. Either way I doubt Runescape will die, especially since numbers have been gradually increasing since bot-nuke day.

Just log to "world select" to see how many players are on now.....

so or people pay but never log or Jagex lie (which became usual this time). =D

It shows well impact of bot in RS.
Looks like only few (silly?=P) players never used bot, or like 5% of gamers.

Due to fact that RS is slow, grindy & somewhat outdated, I can understand why people used bot for faster progress. (what I can't understand is what fun they have of bot using & why not play better game instate).

With total intolerance for RW trading bots, I would suggest to Jagex to take lessons of this bot issue & revamp game to bring way more fun & way less grind to it.

Or it's too late & 85%+ of sub are lost?

May be this game is unpopular for legit players & will now die due to number of players left.

 

Runescape has always had a good influx of new players that kept it going, now they might actually stay longer if they can keep  the bots at bay.

I think their bot nuking will benefit the game long term, considering it was getting as bad as silkroad before they did something to stop it. I just hope they can keep it up. They did well in shutting them down from what  I can tell.

I hope RS can have enough membership payed to keep it going, although many people already left due to bot period.

God ever since that one little change.. i have NOT played runescape.. it was ok up until then

i spent 30 days getting 62 wc when there was not that LITTLE change..

Then BAM the change happened. i considered my skill useless
