What kind of garbage / how big?

There's a YouTube documentary which pretty much covers the whole timeline.

Basically, RuneScape peaked in 2007. Between 2008 and 2013 they added a lot of updates which bothered a lot of players, such as removal of free trade and dangerous PVP, Microtransactions, and graphical updates. The straw that broke the camel's back was a change to the combat system in 2012 which made it similar to other big MMOs which caused a huge playerbase dropoff. They quickly realized they made a mistake and decided to start up the 2007 version again. After a few years of tweaks, the 2007 version is much bigger than the real RuneScape

A lot of words are similar but you may not realize the similarities just by listening (hijo/figlio, fare/hacer, etc) and a lot of grammar does not mesh together (preterite vs passato prossimo) and prepositions do not match (de vs da, por vs per etc) and certain letters like g,d,b,c are pronounced very differently between the languages which can inhibit understanding.

However with some time devoted to studying the grammar and vocabulary it is definitely easy to learn the other language. Your Mexican friends might want to read through some grammar and pronunciation guides before hand but it can be done for their trip
