OpenRSC Playercount Graphed (2019/10/02 - 2024/01/21)

Post by Red Bracket »

I spent some time going over Archive.org and grabbing the playercount from OpenRSC to graph it. Here's the results:

This data is slightly revised over the one I shared in the RSC Discord last night.

Link to spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Some accuracy notes -

* Archive.org takes a snapshot quite randomly; so there could be lots of variance depending on time of day each datapoint was snapshotted at
* The highest peak is snapshotted was 127, but the actual peak was higher
* This data does not include bots; with botted worlds added, OpenRSC has comfortably hit 500+ online, which is more than what the official RSC servers (which were full of bots) were pulling for many years

I may go back and look at the archives of Runescape.com to figure out their RSC playercount from ~2009 onwards. Could be fun.

Rendi's video hasn't been too popular on his channel yet. Will be interesting to see if it climbs to as high of a viewcount as his other vids:

A Friend is another Youtuber who previously did a lot of pre-shutdown RSC coverage. Maybe he'll be the next Youtuber to go on OpenRSC
