Whats surprising about it? more people have heard of runescape than they have wow its not really hard to believe they have so many people that at least play it now and again, and out of such a large potential market 1million subscribers cant be that hard to achieve.

since when did runescape bring about epic lootz?  yep they pretty much killed their game now as far as I could care for supporting it in any shape or form.

also runescape isn't in flash, it's in Java a huge difference.
