You must understand this:
    Around 20-30 people take up 2GB of ram, Runescape most likely has installed servers with any multiple of 8GB of ram.
    So this could be up to I'm gonna say 16 or 24gb of ram per server.
    At runescape's lower end lets say 25 people per 2gb of ram with 16gb a server that's 400 people a server . Currently 196,175 players have voted for the Old School runescape return.
    With 400 people a server that means runescape must need: 490.3 let's round that up to 491 servers for people to play just OLD SCHOOL.
    With each server around $500-$1000 a piece that's $491,000 plus people's salarys for the development, not to mention the EOC servers
    .

This math was based around RSPS requirement numbers.
So yes runescape does need people to pay for the servers just to stay above the cost of their overhead.
Granted 200k people will not be on at one point but you get my point.

They are doing this because its going to cost around $1 million to buy the servers and they will be a small development team for high scores and syncing accounts eg user & pass not skills ect
