Hi,

Just a quick heads up.

I just tallied up the number of players playing on AoS 1.0 at the moment:

There are currently 167 players on Aos.

On BnS as I'm writing this, there are (drum roll please) 188 players.

Congrats:)

Dom.

Sum those two numbers together, and you'll have less players than what we had before jagex started interfering.

By that, they meant people putting their email address into the box on the homepage and hitting submit. A large amount of that could have been spam, or lies.

The number seems crazy, I mean. How many people actually gives away their email when it's not necessary ?

I know. They also refused to bring any proof.
It's not like they could prove it in any way other than giving out the email addresses (which is obviously a bad idea).

Lol, yeah, anyone that has every run a website with any kind of form anywhere on it will realise that at least 50% of that 500,000 would probably be bots.

Apparently not Jagex, as they setup 927 servers for launch.
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ suggests the most players they've had online at a time is 942.

They must be hemorrhaging money right now. Without some sort of reoccurring payments or micro-payments, there's no way they can afford to keep over 900 servers running. They're opening more as well because it appears they forgot about Australia so there's loads of pissed of >300ms ping Australians.

Didnt the Nov 1st press release mention x has played the beta. x being the number of downloads according to aws. Then the press release the day before mention y number of pre-registered users. If I am not mistaken x = y. Downloading 0.75 counted as pre-registration.

Let's not get cocky... Right now:
1.0: 628
0.75: 268

It's still no way near 500,000 people though.
