25k online rs3 right now with 84.5k on osrs. I feel like the double xp extended week brought back the dxp players and since it was over the course of 2 weeks, people got hooked back into playing runescape. So major props to jagex on reworking the dxp weekends.
Christmas does seem to be a time that people come back to RuneScape. It’s lovely to pop in game and see more people.
