Launches the day after Shadowlands expansion for WoW, that really hurts Jagex.
Not gonna lie, when I found out about the Shadowlands release date at the end of August I had a little freakout. It'll be the third MMO I've worked on with a big content update right up against a WoW expansion. There are a few of us in marketing who have been in this scenario before and realistically there hasn't been a release window this packed (and vaguely terrifying) since 2013. We'll manage but there will for sure be even more grey in my beard by the end of it.
It's a pain but y'all are loyal right?

fraid not chief, maybe i'll play on the back end of the league
Not even second or third screen? （πーπ）
Mayhaps my dude, depends how afk friendly you make it (:
Not saying you should but Endless Harvest is looking like a pretty good first choice relic for an AFK build, particularly with extra resources being sent directly to your bank...

Personally, any impact in metrics will factor in Shadowlands. Date wise I do wish they didn't conflict but we were locked in long before the WoW announcement was made and this was the only workable window. There are a few other things for OSRS in the back half of the year, some you know and others you'll be hearing about soon so it's a balancing act.
From a more human side of it, as much as I love seeing you guys enjoy the game I do worry when I see people putting in extreme hours so I'll always encourage splitting your time between two or more games; In the end it's probably better for you and will stave off burnout. But always remember to build in breaks, take care of yourselves and drink plenty of water.
I'll be playing OSRS for sure! But what was released in 2013 that made it so packed?
Mostly the next-gen consoles and the launch titles for that. Whilst few of those were direct competitors you couldn't book ad space for love nor money. I even had a signed booking bumped by a major publisher because their global headquarters had arranged a deal worldwide with Microsoft. No-one had told the UK team a thing about it so we certainly felt for them stuck in the middle. They were very kind to offer us x2 value on other bookings though but the primo slots were way outta reach.
