Runescape 3rd Most Popular MMORPG

Well it would appear that Runescape has been officially been ranked as the world’s third most popular MMORPG according to a recent report by GigaOM with over 5 million worldwide players, 1 million of which are paying members. Runescape came in third behind World of Warcraft and Habbo Hotel which have 8.5 million and 7 million players respectively. Here are the rankings:

  1. World of Warcraft - 8.5 Million
  2. Habbo Hotel - 7 Million
  3. Runescape - 5 Million
  4. Club Penguin - 4 Million
  5. Webkinz - 3.8 Million
  6. Gaia Online - 2 Million
  7. Guild Wars - 2 Million
  8. Puzzle Pirates - 1.5 Million
  9. Linage I/II - 1 Million
  10. Second Life - 0.5 Million

Whilst Runescape is well ranked at third with over 5 million players it has definitely had a considerable amount of time to amass its following launching back in 2001, which is significantly earlier than the other MMOPRGs on the list with exception of Lineage I and Habbo Hotel which were launched in 1998 and 2000 respectively. So it leaves me wondering if Runescape has the potential to remain in the top 10 most popular MMORPGs for the coming years. What do you think?
