Original story: You know how it is. You've been enjoying the OSRS gold same massively multiplayer online game -- maybe one like Old School RuneScape, a reimplementation of the first 2007 massively multiplayer online game -- for over a decade. Tonight, you are out wandering the world with your pals, taking on some great, old-fashioned player-versus-player activity.

It is not about the loot, you inform yourself. It's about the competition. The camaraderie.

Then something utterly strange happens.It happened to Twitch streamer Purpp live on air today because he staged Old School RuneScape. The resulting, near-instantaneous freak-out was watched over 120,000 times and will undoubtedly end up a proper meme before the afternoon is out.

Here's the thing, however: It has been happening to a lot of bonus everyone. A bug in the game's code has been causing PvP loot drops to convert items into money. The sum of money generated is the maximum amount possible for the game to mathematically generate in 1 place, at once.

Ironically, Old School RuneScape is free to playwith. Developer Jagex earns an income by promoting access to high quality content for actual cash. However, like Eve Online, players can also utilize in-game money to buy that same content.
