This more recent university research paper quotes over 8 million accounts created by '07 and more importantly - "Our own study of the official list of top RuneScape players counted over 3,000,000 unique active players in September 2007. Given that a player needs to be active (and efficient) for about a month to become a top player, we conclude that RuneScape converts into dedicated players between 30% and 60% of the starting players."

The lead should be broader; an introduction to the whole section. Right now, it explains what happens to new players. Any opinions? TechOutsider ( talk) 22:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Jagex have recently made changes to the rules that govern RuneScape, as well as the system for appealing offences. Parts of the article need to be updated, and some external links need to be adjusted. I'll work on the links, but the content will take longer.
Just a heads-up.

Well, I've hopefully got all the links that went dead. As for the content, it's not as major as I thought. The way it's written shouldn't require an update. 1ForTheMoney ( talk) 18:58, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
After the sentence about RS being free, the article quotes JustRPG which mentions the its addicting quality and graphics. I do not see how that fits. I suggest developing the fact RS is free some more. Looking on through the section, I see you mention how the Guinness World Record was given to RS for being the most popular free MMORPG. Maybe that should go together with its "Free play abilities".
Minor: Is "Riots" a proper noun? If not, it should not be capitalized.
Wordiness. "virtual protests in which disgruntled players congregated in RuneScape's main cities and spammed the screen with messages of objection to the changes."
The article can phrase that better; maybe "players congregated in cities, spamming the messaging system". Wikilink "spam" as well; and remember there are several forums of spam, so find the best one.
"Additionally, commentators have criticised RuneScape's in-game community for being unfriendly to newcomers, although they have said that the Fan-Forum community is more approachable." Aviod one sentence paragraphs. Expand, remove, or merge.
"At the 2008 Leipzig Games Convention, Jagex was presented with a certificate to commemorate the achievement." Maybe "Jagex was presented with a certificate to commerorate the achievement at the 2008 Leipzig Games Convention. TechOutsider ( talk) 17:07, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
2 Indian worlds have been added recently, world 170 and 171. So mention "India" too, in "Servers".—Preceding unsigned comment added by Snow Ishaan ( talk • contribs)
What do you mean by "simply listing every single country"? As you mentioned in your Page that you play RuneScape, you should be aware of the fact that two new servers have been launched. And they are Indian, world 170 and 171, they are located in India. You are an experienced player so I assume that you are aware of the recent updates. For which, you shouldn't need a so-called "source", if you really need a source, then just go and check the worldlist and see if you can find "World 170" and "World 171".

On reviewing this article against the good article criteria, I have decided that the article in its current form does not meet requirements and that there is sufficient work that could not be done in the span of a week. The major issues:
I think it is worth mentioning in the article that there is a substantial 'flaw' in the runescape combat system relating to purely training only four cb skills, ranged, mage, str, att, to obtain a low cb lv and retain a high hitting character... This should belong in the comabat section, and should be mentioned briefly in one para, around 5-8 lines in size. It should mention this in a non biased way, and give full detail of how this affects gameplay, and how it is related with the recent updates.

As Jagex are expaning their usage of these sites do you think it would be okay to add links to their FaceBook/Twitter/YouTube etc?

Jagex was founded in 2001, 2 years after RuneScape (ok, my facts may be wrong there, but, the point is, they didn't make DeviousMUD, or even ever operate it). I think it should be redirected to Andrew Gower, and, added there as well? I just looked, and that article is kind of in dire need of expansion...-- Unionhawk Talk E-mail 16:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Just thought I'd draw your attention to this article by Kieron Gillen. Although it's only lightly related to RuneScape (more about FunOrb and MechScape) interest in the former correlates with interest in the latter. One point relating to RS is "the average age of a Runescape player is 16." Not sure if that's common knowledge but there it is, from Jagex themselves. Someone another 21:48, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

On August 26th of 2009, Jagex has revealed their graphics engine that was under the name: "RuneTek 5 (RTM)" Wondering if someone can put it under the Engine section. There were other engines that are explained below.
"The primary goal of the rebuild was to allow us to target different graphics platforms (such as DirectX, OpenGL and the various consoles) with just one game engine. Previous iterations of the graphics engine were not designed this way. This meant that when we came to design RuneScape HD's technology, we ended up creating, in effect, two parallel game engines to render the game in two different ways - the current client has both the RuneTek 3 (Standard Detail) AND RuneTek 4 (High Detail) engines built in! This doesn't scale well when we come to target even more platforms, so this change was definitely necessary."
" *Major iterations of the Jagex graphics engine have included:
* RT1: Original Jagex 3D engine used on gamesdomain games (1998)
* RT2: RuneScape Classic (2000/2001)
* RT3: RuneScape2 SD (2003/2004)
* RT4: RuneScape2 HD (2007/2008)
* RT5: Cross-platform version that runs both SD and HD on the same engine (2009) " —Preceding

Reference: http://devblog.runescape.com/view_post.ws?post_id=27 (Developer's Diary Entry: RuneTek 5)
First off a correct refference from a correct source:
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/specials/rich_list/rich_list_2009/article6131979.ece
4.5 million active accounts.
But if you want a bit more evidence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft
With more than 11.5 million monthly subscribers,[11] World of Warcraft is currently the world's most-subscribed MMORPG[8][12][13] and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG.[14] In April 2008, World of Warcraft was estimated to hold 62 percent of the massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) market.[15]
Ok.
Got that?
So, World of Warcraft and Runescape share the same MMO market - yes?
World of Warcraft holds 62% of that market with 11.5 million players.
HOW can Runescape POSSIBLY have 140 Million active players within 38% of the market? Dozens of other games will own some of that 38% too.

Runescape has 171 Servers as of August 25th 09. Each with a capacity of 2000 players a server.
171 x 2000 = 342000 players maxium playing the game at one time.
Now to be active on the game, you must play regularly (Weekly?).
How are you proposing 140 Million people (Or half of the United States) manage to ration the 342000 places available to play? What? Do the other 139.7 million wait eagerly at their computers?
You didn't care about the reference, you ignored the first Mathmatical evidence so now i'm interested to see how you cope with your third "Accept you are wrong" statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpdr ( talk • contribs) 00:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
It says weekly btw ;)
LOL !! You were the one going on about that bloody source and how it was right and constantly changing my 4.5m back to 140m. Not me. You are hilarious lol, i'd keep off the MMO articles for a while ;P.
But I'll change my first statement for you buddy:
How are you proposing 104 Million people (Or double the United Kingdom) manage to ration the 342000 places available to play? What? Do the other 103.7 million people wait eagerly at their computers?
Is that better for you?-- Dpdr ( talk) 01:06, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.

Runescape has players from several countries playing the game and using the website. I noticed about the sign to help edit grammar, style, etc. and was just wondering, do we use British English or American English for this?
For those of you who don't know, British English is a certain version of English with slight variations on spelling that American English. British English is spoken in Great Britian, and American English is spoken in America. For example, the British English spelling of the word defence is spelled d-e-f-e-n-c-e in British English and d-e-f-e-n-s-e in American English.
This concept could be applied to several articles througout Wikipedia, but I feel this article deserves special consideration since the company who owns Runescape (Jagex Ltd.) is British.
Tell your thoughts, issues etc.

I'm having trouble with this "world's most popular free" thing, Runescape isn't completely free, it has a subscription system too.

http://runescapeclans.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape_Clans_Wiki
It's a wiki page a dedicated to runescape clans, which is different than the other listed runescape wiki page.
Among the articles in the runescape clans wiki page, there are clan-made wiki pages put into categories such as "F2P clans" and "P2P clans." The administrators who run the RS clan wiki page promote a friendly environment and the site has decent internet traffic everyday because the "event coordinators" for each clan update the galleries and descriptions for their clan events.
Clans play a large role in runescape because people who play wants to be a part of something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jensyao ( talk • contribs) 07:03, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

{{ editsemiprotected}} I just wanted to point out that the economy section does little to mention the fluctuation in prices, most recently due to the cash drops in PvP and GE price manipulations. Although this might seem too specific given the scope of the article it actually effects almost the entire game in the end because of the resulting price increases on high level items and rares. Speaking of rares they should also be mentioned in the section as they hold up a large portion of the economy's wealth and are partially responsible for the constant reduction in price for raw materials due to people producing massive amounts of high price raw materials in order to afford high priced rares. -- Start021 ( talk) 18:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
In the Gameplay section, it says that a tutorial was discontinued due to technical difficulties citation needed, but this isn't true - the real reason, given by Jagex, can be found here.

But the top three fansites by traffic (estimated by quantcast) are RuneTips, Zybez Runescape Help and Sal's Realm of RuneScape ( http://runescape.salmoneus.net/index.html). I suggest we reorder the fansites by size and add a few more, overall the best order would be: RuneTips ( http://tip.it/), Zybez Runescape Help ( http://zybez.net/), Sal's Realm of RuneScape ( http://runescape.salmoneus.net/), Rune HQ ( http://runehq.net/), RuneCrypt ( http://runecrypt.com/), RuneVillage ( http://runevillage.com/) and RuneSlayer ( http://runeslayer.com/). That is more inclusive but perhaps that's too many, I think that because "Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual" we should list as many as possible.

After the sentence about RS being free, the article quotes JustRPG which mentions the its addicting quality and graphics. I do not see how that fits. I suggest developing the fact RS is free some more. Looking on through the section, I see you mention how the Guinness World Record was given to RS for being the most popular free MMORPG. Maybe that should go together with its "Free play abilities".
Minor: Is "Riots" a proper noun? If not, it should not be capitalized.
Wordiness. "virtual protests in which disgruntled players congregated in RuneScape's main cities and spammed the screen with messages of objection to the changes."
The article can phrase that better; maybe "players congregated in cities, spamming the messaging system". Wikilink "spam" as well; and remember there are several forums of spam, so find the best one.
"Additionally, commentators have criticised RuneScape's in-game community for being unfriendly to newcomers, although they have said that the Fan-Forum community is more approachable." Aviod one sentence paragraphs. Expand, remove, or merge.

What do you mean by "simply listing every single country"? As you mentioned in your Page that you play RuneScape, you should be aware of the fact that two new servers have been launched. And they are Indian, world 170 and 171, they are located in India. You are an experienced player so I assume that you are aware of the recent updates. For which, you shouldn't need a so-called "source", if you really need a source, then just go and check the worldlist and see if you can find "World 170" and "World 171".

On reviewing this article against the good article criteria, I have decided that the article in its current form does not meet requirements and that there is sufficient work that could not be done in the span of a week. The major issues:
I think it is worth mentioning in the article that there is a substantial 'flaw' in the runescape combat system relating to purely training only four cb skills, ranged, mage, str, att, to obtain a low cb lv and retain a high hitting character... This should belong in the comabat section, and should be mentioned briefly in one para, around 5-8 lines in size. It should mention this in a non biased way, and give full detail of how this affects gameplay, and how it is related with the recent updates.

On August 26th of 2009, Jagex has revealed their graphics engine that was under the name: "RuneTek 5 (RTM)" Wondering if someone can put it under the Engine section. There were other engines that are explained below.
"The primary goal of the rebuild was to allow us to target different graphics platforms (such as DirectX, OpenGL and the various consoles) with just one game engine. Previous iterations of the graphics engine were not designed this way. This meant that when we came to design RuneScape HD's technology, we ended up creating, in effect, two parallel game engines to render the game in two different ways - the current client has both the RuneTek 3 (Standard Detail) AND RuneTek 4 (High Detail) engines built in! This doesn't scale well when we come to target even more platforms, so this change was definitely necessary."
" *Major iterations of the Jagex graphics engine have included:
* RT1: Original Jagex 3D engine used on gamesdomain games (1998)
* RT2: RuneScape Classic (2000/2001)
* RT3: RuneScape2 SD (2003/2004)
* RT4: RuneScape2 HD (2007/2008)
* RT5: Cross-platform version that runs both SD and HD on the same engine (2009) " —Preceding

First off a correct refference from a correct source:

4.5 million active accounts.
But if you want a bit more evidence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft
With more than 11.5 million monthly subscribers,[11] World of Warcraft is currently the world's most-subscribed MMORPG[8][12][13] and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG.[14] In April 2008, World of Warcraft was estimated to hold 62 percent of the massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) market.[15]
Ok.
Got that?
So, World of Warcraft and Runescape share the same MMO market - yes?
World of Warcraft holds 62% of that market with 11.5 million players.
HOW can Runescape POSSIBLY have 140 Million active players within 38% of the market? Dozens of other games will own some of that 38% too.

Runescape has 171 Servers as of August 25th 09. Each with a capacity of 2000 players a server.
171 x 2000 = 342000 players maxium playing the game at one time.
Now to be active on the game, you must play regularly (Weekly?).
How are you proposing 140 Million people (Or half of the United States) manage to ration the 342000 places available to play? What? Do the other 139.7 million wait eagerly at their computers?

How are you proposing 104 Million people (Or double the United Kingdom) manage to ration the 342000 places available to play? What? Do the other 103.7 million people wait eagerly at their computers?

Runescape has players from several countries playing the game and using the website. I noticed about the sign to help edit grammar, style, etc. and was just wondering, do we use British English or American English for this?
For those of you who don't know, British English is a certain version of English with slight variations on spelling that American English. British English is spoken in Great Britian, and American English is spoken in America. For example, the British English spelling of the word defence is spelled d-e-f-e-n-c-e in British English and d-e-f-e-n-s-e in American English.
This concept could be applied to several articles througout Wikipedia, but I feel this article deserves special consideration since the company who owns Runescape (Jagex Ltd.) is British.

The administrators who run the RS clan wiki page promote a friendly environment and the site has decent internet traffic everyday because the "event coordinators" for each clan update the galleries and descriptions for their clan events.

{{ editsemiprotected}} I just wanted to point out that the economy section does little to mention the fluctuation in prices, most recently due to the cash drops in PvP and GE price manipulations. Although this might seem too specific given the scope of the article it actually effects almost the entire game in the end because of the resulting price increases on high level items and rares. Speaking of rares they should also be mentioned in the section as they hold up a large portion of the economy's wealth and are partially responsible for the constant reduction in price for raw materials due to people producing massive amounts of high price raw materials in order to afford high priced rares. -- Start021 ( talk) 18:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I suggest we reorder the fansites by size and add a few more, overall the best order would be: RuneTips ( http://tip.it/), Zybez Runescape Help ( http://zybez.net/), Sal's Realm of RuneScape ( http://runescape.salmoneus.net/), Rune HQ ( http://runehq.net/), RuneCrypt ( http://runecrypt.com/), RuneVillage ( http://runevillage.com/) and RuneSlayer ( http://runeslayer.com/). That is more inclusive but perhaps that's too many, I think that because "Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual" we should list as many as possible. A link to the Jagex site ( http://www.jagex.com/) is also needed, as it is already linked from the FunOrb and War of Legends pages. - ♚ ⚜ TopherBrink ⚖ ♎ (Talk) ☯ ✯ 00:31, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

When you search 'Runescape' in google, the short descriptive text reads:
'RuneScape is a Porno massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2001 by Jagex Ltd ...'
instead of:
'RuneScape is a fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2001 by Jagex Ltd ...' as the top of the actual article reads.

I think that popular players on the game should be added to this artical. Due to them being very well know in the game and their vast knowledge. People who start to play this game could ask these people any questions they may have. I think these popular in game people should be noticed. Players such as "Zezima" "Gertjarrs" "Kingduffy" "KingMunstrus" "Chessy018" and "Nightmarerh"

{{ editsemiprotected}} Cutting trees. cutting trees is basically like instant cash, for the most amazing profits you need yews or if member, magic logs. Yew logs are very good, ` inventory of them could get you around 11-12k depending on the Grand Exchange. If you get 1k of them you will get more around the 110k mark, seems like alot? no worries, there are some spot where you could get easy logs. Magic logs sell around the lines of 1k, 1k of them is 1m which makes these the most expensive logs. i hope i helped, thank you and enjoy :D. Harpie lad1 ( talk) 05:57, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

there was a rect change to the game, wherehitpoints are now called health points, and theres 10x as many health points as hitpoints. and the skill itself is now called constitution. i would have changed this, but i dont have a wiki account, so i cant edit the page. 69.115.204.217 ( talk) 20:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
{{ editsemiprotected}} who ever can make a change, i have noticed something. after it says 10 million people active someone should really put specificly(though 165 million has registered.) cause i know for sure they have that many people registered.

Not done I can't see any reason to link those terms. The first is covered by "
software bug", and the second is a term explained in the article.

Is this official name now for Runescape since the release of Dungeoneering? And is this also the official release date of a new game such as Rs2 or Rs HD? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.154.3.209 ( talk) 22:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Runescape is now abbreviated to RsDod meaning Runescape Dungeons of Daemonheim like they did on their front page. [5] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.154.3.209 ( talk) 22:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
I've put all your comments in one section to save space. Please realise that this is not a forum; any more comments that are not about the article will be removed.
Again, make sure your future questions are about this article. Other questions should go to the RS official forums. 1ForTheMoney ( talk) 22:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC) I agree, make sure that you read the artical before you give any ideas because they may be on the page already.

Put something about the Seasonal Events as they are very important in the game of Runescape and are just like Quests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GotMoney999 ( talk • contribs) 22:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
