The '''200 million accounts celebration''' started after 200 million accounts had been created on [[19 July]] [[2012]]. The event is available for both free players and members, in which a [[Party Demon]] is released in [[Barbarian Village]], [[Varrock Sewers]] and the [[Bandit Camp]]. This monster had 200,000,000 life points and could only be killed using the [[Boogie bow]], given out for free by [[Hey Presto]]. Upon slaying the beast (which may be attacked by multiple players) a pair of [[200m glasses]] can be obtained from Hey Presto. |

Some players have expressed their discontent with this milestone and Jagex's use of the word ''players'' in the 200 million timeline on the RuneScape website. Some players hold the opinion that a significant portion of the number are actually bots and therefore are not players. Also, many players have multiple accounts, and therefore even fewer individual players exist. |
