I never thought that the game can bring so much money! .. Revenue received from sales of CDs with games or something else? Many earn from selling toys is not possible In Russia .. There is a lot of pirated copies game-CDs.

LoL, who really cares about shitty Asian F2P grind mmos. Only reason those games make money is because people are stupid. The vast majority of the people that play and pay for those games are from Asian countries, which is why they are all targeted their to begin with. Those games are just downright awful and are nothing but terribly designed grinds with no real interesting mechanics/gameplay/progression wrapped around a gambling system intended to slowly milk the hell out of stupid people that get addicted to the gambling nature of those games. Their is a reason that shit doesnt fly anywhere outside Asia.

The only real good F2P game out right now is RoM, and thats only because they copied the hell outta WoW, and to a lesser degree some others. Its to bad they didnt also copy all the good things WoW has done since release and it still has the typical retarded Asian grind and cash shop system. Not to mention the people coding it are obviously idiots, server and client issues galore. And people thought AoC and WAR were bad at release, they cant touch how awful RoM is.

F2P games will never be anywhere near as good as games made by real gaming companies, because they dont give a shit about gaming. F2P games are nothing but gambling disguise as gaming.

Runescape makes the Guinness Book of Records as the most played free MMO. It was also revealed to be a top Yahoo search and a top YouTube search. Jagex, who publish the game, are going to release a new MMO, Mechscape, for which there is massive anticipation. Runescape author Andrew Gower talks about this and much more in this rare interview: http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/08/18/exclusive-andrew-gower-interview/

What about Roblox? Their website shows that they have several thousand players at a time and while playing is free they also allow subscriptions between $6 and $12 a month. Did you find out any revenue stats on them? – http://www.roblox.com

“Not sure why they have RuneScape listed as a kids game, 99% of the people I play it with are 15+. The article makes out that its similar to Club Penguin in its audience, which is like saying the TeleTubbies and Die Hard are aiming at the same demographic.”

15+? Those are kids.

you people are stupid -.-.. even if you look at thge low times for runescape there are atleast 50 thousand players on, half of which now pay 6 dollars a month. lets do some math ok? 25,000 x $6 = $150,000 a day. $150,000 x 7 = $1,050,000 a week, 1,050,000 x 4 = 4,200,000 a month, and $1,050,000 x 12 = $50,400,000 a year at low times, but besides that let up to a high time for runescape ive seen 200,000+ at peek hours. so lets do the math on that. using the same princible, 100,000 x $6 = $600,000 a day, $600,000 x 7 = $4,200,000 a week, 4,200,000 x 4 = $16,800,000 a month, 16,800,000 x 12 = $201,600,000 a year. so anywhere between 50.4 – 201.6 million a year for runescape which is actually 50 million more then what is stated. so before you go running your mouths off about runescape shouldnt be there, and that there is no way that they can make that much do some ****ing research.
