![]() Then after RuneScape initially addressed this issue it dropped, however once a work around was found for the first anti-bot measures it regained popularity (peaked again in March 2013). Looking at the RuneScape bot’s line you can tell it started gaining popularity in late 2009 and by 2011 it reached its all time high (February 2011). This graph I found to be very fascinating. RuneScape bots is represented in blue, RuneScape money making in red, and buy RuneScape gold in yellow. Here I’ve created a graph comparing RuneScape bots, RuneScape money making, and buy RuneScape gold. Now that you have the overall picture of the placement which RuneScape has against its competitive counterparts lets look at details behind the game itself. However, at the pace in which LoL is going in I’m sure it will in the next 2 years. I’m aware its a relatively new game but with all the hype surrounding it I would have guessed it would have surpassed WoW. While I’m sure it’ll never reach the popularity of WoW I’m willing to guess it’ll rise in the next 2 years. The RuneScape line is depressing, as you can tell it peaked in 2007 and then slowly dropped to an all time low in late 2013. Since then other MMO’s have replaced it, thus the drop. The reason why World of Warcraft became more popular over RuneScape was due to the advanced graphics and gameplay it had during its early years. Obviously around 2005 World of Warcraft skyrocketed as the game was released February 11th, 2005. RuneScape is blue, World of Warcraft is red, and League of Legends is represented in yellow. This first graph is comparing how many searches of RuneScape, World of Warcraft, and League of Legends have been made since 2004. So I decided to come up with my own graphs to better determine the current state of RuneScape as a company and a game.Īll these graphs were created using Google Trends, a handy tool for showing the popularity of trending searches. That’s the reason why I wasn’t content with the graphs and information they gave us. The fact that part of the RuneScape community is corrupted and that a great handful have quit is frightening. While its been around for over 10 years, newer games have stepped up and are in competition with RuneScape. I feel like one of the biggest concerns regarding RuneScape is its popularity. He also posted a few graphs which I found very interesting but not satisfying. It was a fascinating post and I encourage you to read it.Īccording to the released information it seems that bots are a thing of a past and gold farmers are quickly being shut down. Over the weekend Mod MMG released a post on the RuneScape homepage discussing all the misconceptions surrounding bots, gold farmers, player demographics, as well as a few other things.
