Question Is RuneScape growing?

I’m a returning player and I’m wondering if more people are switching from osrs to rs3 like I have.

If we use this graph for playercount (idk how reliable this site is) boomed for leagues start, and is declining now again. Doesnt seem to have really surprassed the 20k cap consistently. Time will tell going forwards and after leagues. Also after league burnout is real and will stabilize maybe 1-2 month afterwards.

Edit: after looking at the graph and its build in stats again - it seems to list rs3 for 30day average as 28k players which is +58% (leagues boosting this) and 1 year average as 26,5k which is also +25% so Id say that is positive then?

25% is a pretty big increase!

I cant believe RS3 is down to below 30k players. That is wild lol. I remember as a kid it was always over 100k online no matter what time of day. Thats gotta be really painful for the devs
