Tbh, I thought Runescape had already passed the one million member mark. That's great news though. It's truely amazing to see how much Runescape has grown since the Rsc times. I never thought Runescape would become so popular and it's still growing steady.

Assuming it does grow for an entire year, that's $60,000,000 a year. Damn.

I think it's amazing how just one game can have so many members. Even if only half are active accounts. Thats still 500,000 people playing this game shocked.gif

Interview with Andrew Gower at Gamasutra, as well as coverage from The Mercury News and discussion on Slashdot.

It appears Jagex are making waves with this news. Good on them.

In a year they would generate $60 Million, so according to this they have about 300 staff, and with each staff member making a rough average of about $45,000 a year(based off the Jagex corporate site), that would be $13.5 million to pay regular staff bringing the profit down to $45.5 Million. You'd then have to subtract the overhead costs, server costs, etc. to figure out how much Andrew Paul and Constant are raking in, but I have no idea how to find that information out. Either way I'd guess Andrew (will) pocket(s) a good $10 million a year.
