RuneScape 3 has its own section, at /rs3/, in the game’s own gold-on-brown colours and with its own skill icons.
- The roster: living Hardcore ironmen from page 40 of the official Hardcore Ironman hiscores, plus the capped players at the top, looked up every 15 minutes; the Activity page shows who gained XP in the last 24 hours.
- Activity: the players’ RuneMetrics feeds, sorted into caps and milestones, drops and boss kills.
- Stats: Jagex’s player count and Steam’s over time, and the official top 25 of each hiscores table.
- A guide to Hardcore Ironman and Jagex’s news.
Where the numbers come from
Everything comes from Jagex’s public pages, checked from here on 7 November 2026: the hiscores’ player lookups and top-25 tables, RuneMetrics public profiles, the player count, the news feed and the Grand Exchange’s price lists, plus Steam’s public count. RuneMetrics sits behind Cloudflare’s rate limit, so Game Pulse reads at most four profiles every 15 minutes and stops at the first sign that it should slow down.
What is not here
Jagex does not publish a RuneScape 3 world list: its world list address sends visitors to Old School’s. So the section shows Jagex’s total for both games and Steam’s RuneScape 3 count, and says which is which, rather than estimating a split.
