13 years is not the shelf life of OSRS

2018-12-07 11:36:58 UTC  

5 years is the shelf life of OSRS

2018-12-07 11:37:01 UTC  

but if you look at the burning crusade you would see an increase in players from the new content

2018-12-07 11:37:05 UTC  

but with WOTL

2018-12-07 11:37:08 UTC  

it was a stagnation

2018-12-07 11:37:08 UTC  

at 13 years RS3 is past its expiry date

2018-12-07 11:37:11 UTC  

Because OSRS is actually nostalgic to play and fun to make money in

2018-12-07 11:37:13 UTC  

and they never recovered from that stagnation

2018-12-07 11:37:13 UTC  

and suitably it's expiring

2018-12-07 11:37:25 UTC  

so as the game WoW changed from what its initial subscribers bought in for

2018-12-07 11:37:46 UTC  

they lost their initial playerbase (largely) and then the content rehashing led to newer players not staying

2018-12-07 11:37:54 UTC  

dont forget runescape is owned by some chinese mining corporation now

2018-12-07 11:38:07 UTC  

OSRS isn’t expired though

2018-12-07 11:38:08 UTC  

tho the new vanilla wow coming out, legacy, seems to have good prospects for WoW

2018-12-07 11:38:11 UTC  

I mean the graph you posted is already totally fucked out the window.

2018-12-07 11:38:11 UTC  

CoD is passing its expiry, but we still get one every fucking year

2018-12-07 11:38:18 UTC  

yeah I put that wrong

2018-12-07 11:38:23 UTC  

well yeah it stopped in 2013

2018-12-07 11:38:32 UTC  

because their count got so pathetic they wouldnt release it anymore

2018-12-07 11:38:52 UTC  

anyway OSRS is facing the 2009~ era original RS power creep problems that gave need for EoC

2018-12-07 11:38:58 UTC  

it predicted at the end of 2015 that there'd be 1mill subs. they released figures in 2016... 5.6 mill 😂

2018-12-07 11:39:06 UTC  

Wow is circling the drain

2018-12-07 11:39:10 UTC  

EoC was a natural response to a game system already pushed to the limit with power creep gear

2018-12-07 11:39:16 UTC  

I dont care about the future part lmao

2018-12-07 11:39:20 UTC  

that was terribly predicted

2018-12-07 11:39:26 UTC  

the actual data is what mattered in that

2018-12-07 11:39:28 UTC  

FUCKING FFXIV PASSED WOW IN PLAYERS

2018-12-07 11:39:31 UTC  

They need to redo the economy in osrs it's getting recked rn

2018-12-07 11:39:43 UTC  

Retard are you talking about the gold bots

2018-12-07 11:39:47 UTC  

aka the communist scum

2018-12-07 11:39:48 UTC  

No

2018-12-07 11:39:49 UTC  

the way OSRS calculates stats a +1 str bonus on any given item can unbalance every bit of PvP if it's not too expensive to be touched

2018-12-07 11:40:13 UTC  

@Lord King Murder Fuck mate it's just supply and demand, more shitters are playing on mobile so the demand for gear has risen

2018-12-07 11:40:21 UTC  

People who play funnel strat on league need to be put against a wall.

2018-12-07 11:40:25 UTC
