Free MMO usually attracts more people to try, but not every game is insanely popular. Do you know how many people Runescape pulls in? It's 105 million, a creasy hugh number! RuneScape is a 3d fantasy game played on your web browser. It is by far the most in-depth, established browser game available. It has a big player base, which is still growing.
We call Runescape the biggest free game in the world, and it deserve it. 105 million is three times the amount of people who've bought an Xbox 360. Only slightly less than twice the number of Wiis out there. For sure, some accounts are not active. Some people make one and then never play after a while. However, a good chunk of that 105-million-strong playerbase does come back regularly.
Jagex chief executive Mark Gerhard said that this success means that Ruenscape could "possibly" generate as much money as World of Warcraft, but that is not the most important mission for the studio.
"We're very, very conscious that every game has to be completely free: no demo, no trial - it's a completely free game. If you like it, if you want more, then there's the expansion pack too," he said.
RuneScape was originally released in 2001 as a simple browser-based MMORPG, and it has grown significantly since then. It was free for almost four years. 105 million people have touched it, but more than 10 million people are actually playing it.
