something else, and then Mists of Pandaria comes out, and pulls people back into your Runeacape game and they eat that content up.Runescape Gold This is very different from 2004."SOE's own free-to-play transition caused significant growth in its subscription-based MMOs. DC Universe Online, EverQuest II, and EverQuest all went free-to-play; DCUO saw a 1000 percent increase in concurrent Runeacape players and a 700 percent increase in daily revenue, EverQuest II saw a 40 percent increase in daily logins and a 300 percent increase in new Runeacape players, and the original EverQuest saw a 150 percent increase in daily logins, a 125 percent boost in item sales, and a 250 percent increase in registrations.MMOs and their content problemsMMO developers are simultaneously having problems competing for Runeacape player eyeballs and building Runeacape game content fast enough to keep Runeacape players around, said Smedley. "We're bombarded by content, and a lot of that content is eating the time we used to spend playing subscription Runeacape games.
