The game has around 36.14 million people subscribed to it. This probably includes a lot of accounts from people who signed up for the game but didn’t keep playing it. The fun thing about RuneScape is that it doesn’t necessarily require a lot of daily commitment to be good at it. You can play it when you have time without having to necessarily be good or bad at it. It does, however, have a challenging leveling system.

Why The Game Succeeds

One of the contributing factors behind Runescape’s popularity is that it’s available to play on a multitude of platforms, that being PC, Google Play, and the App Store. Therefore even if you do not own a PC, you can download this on your phone and have it at your fingertips.

Another reason for Runescape’s continued success is that even after many years, the game continues to be free to play. There are different memberships players can join if they wish, but many have enjoyed the game for years without ever purchasing one.
