Can you base the popularity off of this? This is telling you how many times it was searched through Google. Not anyone else. Also, would you not expect people to favorite the URL if they enjoyed the game so you wouldn’t have to keep searching it? I mean over time the amount of searches of any game goes down after everyone knows about it. Look at Final Fantasy XI (another MMORPG), once it reached its max searches it just died on the trends. Hell even World of Warcraft’s trends went down because its own fan base grew in a short time and searched it up all at once then it hasn’t been searched much since. Do you base the popularity of Coca-Cola off these trends? If so then Coca-Cola looks like they might be in trouble also. Jagex realizes no one searches for their game much anymore. That is why they advertise now. Once you see these ads popping up on your TV in different countries then there could be an increase in the searches, but I dunno if any other countries are seeing the commercials.
