Those who raid in the MMORPG Old School RuneScape usually adhere to a code. Any drop that is valuable is shared among the entire raid group. However, one player obtained one of the rarest weapons ever and did not share. In PvP, a member of the group sought revenge and has carried the traitor’s mortal remains with him ever since.
What happened during the scam? The player Aggravating-Shower shared a series of screenshots a few days ago that tell an exciting story. He was part of a raid in the Chambers of Xeric in a group of three players back in October 2020. Himself, the group creator Averniiick, and Kymberly – the scammer.
They had gathered on the Discord server WDR (We do Raids). The rule there is: Everything that gives each individual player at least 1 million gold is shared fairly among the group. So for three players, anything worth more than 3 million gold.
At the end of the raid, however, they received the coveted Twisted Bow drop. At that time, the weapon was among the most valuable and is still traded today for 1.5 billion gold. It went to Kymberly.
But Kymberly did not want to share.
Later that same night, both players met in PvP
What happened next? Kymberly left the group and ignored further inquiries. The rare drop was thus history, even though Aggravating-Shower was very pleased himself. With his share, he could have bought himself a coveted Twisted Bow.
He then decided to enter PvP with some anger. As fate would have it, there was a reunion with the scammer.
He was able to defeat him and received a Long Bone as a drop. This is not a particularly rare reward and can also be dropped by normal monsters.
But Aggravating-Shower has developed a very special relationship with the bone.
What is so special about the bone? The player must always be careful not to pick up another Long Bone. Because if this happens, both would stack and he would never know which bone actually came from his arch-nemesis and which came from a regular opponent.
Admittedly, the bones are not particularly valuable and Aggravating-Shower does not lose much gold because of this. But the devotion he shows to the bone is quite impressive.
Additionally, he deleted his entire block list and only added Kymberly. This way, he can ensure that despite possible name changes, he always knows what Kymberly is currently called and where he is located.
In fact, the character has already been renamed.
At Gamesradar, the player also mentioned that both players met for a third time, again in the raid Chambers of Xeric. Although he himself does not know whether Kymberly is banned from the WDR Discord, there is an entry on the RuneWatch website where players can report those who have turned out to be scammers.
What do you think of this little revenge story? And how do you deal with people who cheat you in MMORPGs?
Another player has also sworn revenge, but against the developers of Old School RuneScape themselves:
