    Default Jagex CEO accepts Guinness World Record

    Jagex CEO Mark Gerhard proudly accepts the Guinness World Record for the largest userbase for a free-to-play MMORPG.

    Earlier today the 200 millionth account was created sending RuneScape into the record books. Thank you 'scapers everywhere for your amazing support! — at Jagex Ltd.
    I saw this on my newsfeed on Facebook lol, there is also a picture of him holding the award.

    I like how they say 200m players on a free to play game, when the majority have payed to play before.
    Thx Euphemism and Vinyl for the awesome siggy and avatar!

    So.. some other game had 199million? I would think they broke the record at a minimum of 100 million ago, honestly..

    yea that type of stuff, including single people with 100+ accounts works greatly in their favor... most other games have no reason to make multiple
    The only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position.
