Finals coming up mate
|
I've recently noticed that RSPSs suddenly lost a lot of players. Like my server used to average about 200 playercount, now its averaging about 150 (300 peak to 220 peak). If you look at ikov they aren't hitting over 1100 (they easily hit over 1300 before). Soulsplit isn't going above 500 most of the time (easily 700), so on and so forth. Even runescape has slightly less players (not significantly). So my question is that: does anyone know of some factor that would cause a lot of players to leave?
The reason isn't that "rspss are dying", because it doesn't happen that rapidly - the difference wasn't over weeks or months, it was actually a jump from one day to another (this sunday to this monday - generally if I average 210 playercount on sunday, I expect 180 on monday. Instead it was 139):
The playercounts I'm comparing to are just from last week. So one week to the next, so many RSPSs lost a significant amount of players. Why?

Its coming towards summer, going to have an impact on the amount of players who will stay in and play a game.
Well I'm pretty sure runescape 07 is something to consider as well, besides the finals coming up and summer.
Gta V pc release?
Gta, the first sunny days, so many different reasons...
Rs07, the amazing pc games being developed, and f2p on oldschool.
Any game can be successful due to good marketing, however all games have trends of higher and lower counts of players due to events and stuff going on. Some factors you'll notice that are going to affect your player count:
Seasons:
Generally servers generate a lot of players in summer and in winter, primarily because in summer people are on break, and winter because weather isn't fun to be outside in. (Of course this is flipped for the hemispheres I believe)
Testing:
As tests come up you will generally see a decline in players.. People are studying or get in trouble if they have dbag parents.
School events:
Generally at the end of a school semester you will see a lot of lower player count because they will be attending events as they usually are piled at the end of the semesters.
And keep in mind that the RS players who made the game what it is are growing up, you go on servers nowadays and everyone is 17-19. People are getting older, soon the population of og scapers will diminish, and that will have a big impact. People have jobs, college, etc.
Try giving it longer than 7 daysThe playercounts I'm comparing to are just from last week. So one week to the next, so many RSPSs lost a significant amount of players. Why?
