Jagex's beloved MMO Old School Runescape has been the most downloaded app in several nations in the first 24h of this launch. Breaking 1 million downloads on RS Gold App Store, the match topped charts in Canada, United States, Australia, Netherlands and also"key" Nordic countries while creating the top ten record in 15 counties overall. With these amounts, Old School Runescape's playerbase will grow to more than 2 millions with more than 1 million players already playing the sport because the readers just beta release.
The launch indicates the development team Jagex have hit the nail with the decision to create a full port for the mobile platform with employed cross-platform support, which could continue the growth of the franchise over the upcoming years. Runescape has brought in almost a billion dollars since its release 17 decades back.
According to Jagex CEO, Phil Mansell, the cell launch is a massive milestone for the team and has been something they planned for a long moment. "Earning our dwelling games available to more players on more devices was a priority for us as we set out the third age of Jagex," Mansell said, adding that many of old school gamers now probably have limited time to enjoy the sport so they wanted to make the grind possible on the go. "Over time, our gamers have grown up and a few, who have been PC players, now have alternative format preferences that fit their altered lifestyles," Mansell clarified.
Old School Runescape continues to be published as a free to play name but there is also a variant for Buy RuneScape Gold readers that costs ￡8.65 a month and brings some extra stuff like a larger map, more quests, skills and additional charge accounts slots.
