Yes RuneScape has finally started to lose money. The reason I know all of this is because...



THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN UPDATE 2DAY!
Proof That Darky is, in fact, evil:
Snowy: Lo'.
Darky: The ' usually goes before the lo =P But hi!
Snowy: It was for loser. Not for hello.
Darky: ...
Snowy: XD
Darky: Don't make me kill you.
Snowy: =O With what? =P
Darky: My bare hands.

Actually 500,000-501,000 paying members, but yeah. Still a good MONTHLY income.

So essentially 30-40 million a year + other things like adds.

How big is the company?

I dunno. If they did, a vast number of idiots would buy members, and all the senior players would quit because of that. It'd balance itself out.

100 morons get members for 1$ per player.
100 good members quit for that reason, making jagex lose 1$ per player.

And I mean LOW graphics. For a true dev team, upgrading those would probably take about a year. It took em 13.
