Runescape Breaks 200 Million Accounts

About the cost of a spaceship in accounts.

It was a dark and stormy night back in the Fourth of January, 2001, when a little title called RuneScape launched, back before "MMO" was practically a genre in itself instead of a subgenre of itself. And, for 10 years, RuneScape been famous among the free browser MMOs in over 150 countries while racking up 443 billion minutes of game time. Yesterday, Jagex just officially announced that RuneScape has broken over 200,000,000 player accounts, easily making it the most popular MMO in the world. 

In addition to the 200 million celebration page covering all aspects of the game's long history and statistics, there are in-game celebrations going on right now, including a new demon to slay, a unique weapon to slay him with, and unique items for the victors. Go nuts, players. There's only one day left!
