Jagex has racked up a trio of Guinness World Records for its iconic MMORPG RuneScape, namely:
- Most original pieces of music in a videogame (including expansions), which now stands at 1,198
- Most users of an MMO videogame, which as of 25th July 2017 was 254,994,744
- Most prolifically updated MMORPG videogame, at 1,014 updates.
Stephen Daultrey, editor of Guinness World of Records: Gamers’ Edition, presented the new and updated records to the RuneScape team at Jagex’s studio last week.
RuneScape currently holds several Guinness World Records, and some are particularly eclectic. These include Most fish in a videogame (eight billion were caught in 2012); the First MMO videogame to release an ‘old school’ version; and Most videogame-related forum posts per day, which was set in June 2013 when 27,000 posts were submitted every day.
