Jagex’s hugely popular MMO RuneScape has just surpassed more than 200 million registered users.
As well as hitting the impressive milestone, the RPG title has attracted users from more than 150 countries around the world, clocking up in excess of 443 billion minutes of game time.

“Although RuneScape has achieved so much over the past decade, smashing 200 million accounts is a huge accomplishment for the dedicated development team and is thanks to our awesome community,” said Jagex CEO Mark Gerhard.
“When the game was first released, nobody could ever have expected it would reach such high levels of popularity largely by community word of mouth. It has been an incredible journey to get to where we are today, and by continuing our tradition of constantly innovating, evolving and lovingly crafting RuneScape we are certain to continue to break records by creating an online adventure like no other.
“We’ve witnessed a really strong resurgence in the game’s popularity over the past two years and are seeing strong player growth year-on-year.”
