As with all things, RuneScape changed and evolved overtime. Unlike most things, however, fans were given an opportunity to go back in time and enjoy Old School RuneScape. While it wasn't entirely clear how well this would go over at the time, it's now known that it was a great decision in the end. As of last Sunday, the game broke its record for highest concurrent player count, reaching 173,006 concurrent players.

Old School RuneScape is currently going through its second league, the Trailblazer League, and has reached yet another impressive milestone there. The League Firsts board that shows which players were the first to complete each task in the league is completely filled. That event is ongoing until January 6th, 2021.

Fans are in general thrilled by the announcement, expressing disbelief that a game like Old School RuneScape could still have so many players despite its outdated appearance. Others are simply excited to see the game performing so well, as that practically ensures that it will be maintained for at least a few years to come or until the hype dies down eventually.

This achievement could very well be outdone in the coming weeks. Especially in January when the next league starts, it's possible that even more players will surge online, smashing this record like the last. Fans of Old School RuneScape should be sure to play through the Trailblazer's League while they have time, as there are a variety of rewards available for players. The "Firsts" spots are all taken this time, but there's always the next season.

Old School RuneScape is available now on PC and Mobile.
