Yep, Ruenscape is really a big MMO game. Alternatively, we can say it is a biggest free game currently. Over 105 million user accounts are there according to the Guinness World Records. If 105 million users world wise level up together and grind RS gold together, how wonderful it is!
As we know, World of Warcrft, the widly popular MMO game has over 11.5 million subscribers, but Runescape, with over 105 million user accounts - dwarfing even mighty WoW almost tenfold. The upcoming game Aion, which claimed to be the WoW killer, has four million players in Asia right now.
These games that many of us hold up as kingpins of the MMOG space are relatively puny compared to the most popular free-to-play games. Take RuneScape, for example - according to Jagex's Mark Gerhard, not only is the game recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's most popular free-to-play game, its numbers aren't anything to sneeze about: 105 million players have signed up for the game over the course of its lifetime.
Technically, there are 105 million RS players, but for sure not every account is active. Some people just start an account and play for a while, then quite. It is the often case happened to a free game. But a good chunk of that 105-million-strong playerbase does come back regularly.
"More than 10 million. It depends if you're taking a day, a week, three months. We did another stat for the Guinness Book of World Records that was total active unique [users] over time, and that was just over 105 million. So 105 million people have touched it," Gerhard said.
