Last night saw a record 42,500 simultaneous players! As a result a few of our servers were getting low on spare bandwidth.
To make sure all these extra players doesn't cause the game to lag we have just purchased some extra bandwidth at the busiest locations, so it should be working much better now. We'll also continue to keep an eye on the bandwidth use to make sure we always have enough.


... How things have changed in less than a year...

It's definitely becoming too crowded. I remember on my first account (I don't remember the name) it was rare to see more than 1,000 people on any server (except maybe world 1, don't remember). Now to have less than 1,000 people on servers you have to get on late at night (10 pm - 4 am EST). I'm glad that the game is successful, but some of the people really shouldn't be playing. If you go to Varrock, about 1/10 of the people you see are scammers.

If they haven't really noticed, most of the players never become members...I've playing awhile and I've never became member (I want to though)
