Okay, so there’s this guy—an insanely committed Old School RuneScape player. We’re talking about a dude who spent like, 10,000 hours over two years on this bonkers challenge. I kid you not, even among the hardcore RuneScape folks, most would just say “nah.”

Now, Old School RuneScape, it’s this MMO without a set end, right? So, folks create their own crazy challenges just to keep things interesting. For most, getting all skills to 99 and wrapping up every quest is enough to keep you hooked for years. But then there’s that crowd that craves more: restarting accounts for wacky challenge runs, pushing the game’s boundaries. Like, remember that one guy who aimed for 200 million Construction XP in a month? Nuts!

But back to our main character—Agile Tom. He uploaded the finale to this wild series on YouTube. The twist? He played stuck inside one particular chunk of the game world. Imagine a tiny slice of the map, and you can’t leave until you’ve done EVERYTHING there—quests, challenges, unique monster drops, all of it. Why? Who knows. Maybe just for the bragging rights.

Oh, and he didn’t pick just any chunk. He chose chunk 4,919—often called a “death chunk.” This place is no joke, featuring RuneScape’s first raid area, the Chambers of Xeric. April 2023, that’s when he started this challenge, right in the middle of what many would consider a gamer’s nightmare.

And get this, Agile Tom did it as an Ironman. Know what that means? No help from other players. Zero trades. He had to grind every skill max just to participate in the raid. Imagine 10,000 hours. Think about it. Over 2,000 raids completed and a load of rare loot collected. Seriously, the dude’s spent more time in one spot than most players do in the entire game. Utter madness or absolute dedication? You decide.

So, what’s new in the game itself? Old School RuneScape is prepping for what’s probably its biggest update ever. This new skill—Sailing—is coming later this year. First new skill in over a decade. Crazy, right? Fans are pumped, and who could blame them?

Anyway, that’s the wild ride of Agile Tom, the RuneScape rebel. Whatever keeps you going, I guess.
