Old School RuneScape (OSRS) Team give their opinion

The biggest take away is "We have seen a huge success with Old School with over 2.5 million members playing since it launched 3 years ago and nearly 7 million people playing in total. So, for us the demand is certainly there".

iMini - Could you expand at all upon what information you gathered regarding the cannibalisation of the RS community? I'd have thought that a lot of people playing OSRS are older players who had quit RS by the time OSRS was released.

ModMatK OSRS TEAM - The worry was that if players moved to OSRS we would lose income from MTX*. What would have happened if everyone moved over and never came back? However, after looking at how people engaged with MTX what their habits were etc, we saw that risk was not huge.

* MTX = MicroTransaction. The X is also part of transaction.
