How is runescape almost as popular as wow?

The community thing for OSRS is such a huge thing.

The free to play is nice for RS too gets you decently into the game before you decide to commit. Some games like Wizards 101 (from what I remember like a decade+ or something ago) had one of the worst free to play experiences that was over in like a couple hours of gameplay but still was advertised “free to play”.

all about the community and dev thing that going on there. and i know some very old people who find the game way easier to play than wow so idk. players do get to vote on things there and whatever wins they add in stuff like that but i sure ain’t just to boring to me.
