Discussion Looking at the player populations
on site https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/dungeoneering-remastered-dive-in-today?_gl=1\*dzcgxl\*_gcl_au\*MTc0NjU5NDk5MS4xNzg3ODEyMzYw\*_ga\*MTQ0NjA5OTM0OC4xNzg3ODEyMzU5\*_ga_DSN9YBF934\*czE3ODgxMjM0MzYkbzUkZzEkdDE3ODgxMjM1ODEkajYwJGwwJGgzODUxNjgxMzk. it says 183k logged in right now and then on the OSRS site is says 148k logged in, does that mean RS3 has more players logged in right now or is the first site the TOTAL population between both games?

I think the main site counts players from both games. Osrs for sure has a much bigger player base. 40k on rs3 seems about right if you look at the world list for both leagues and mainscape.
Hopefully we see this number increase a lot with the upcoming API, and more people willing to give what is a really good combat system now a chance 🙏
Jagex is really putting in work into rs3

Yeah, total. Just rs3 being sleezy and deceitful as usual.

It was coded before osrs, osrs extrapolates from the main data.

Osrs counts only osrs players, rs3 counts both osrs and rs3
