A streamer on Twitch tried Elden Ring a while ago and played the game with great difficulty. Now he claims that no game is too difficult for him. But does this also apply to a specific MMORPG?
Which streamer is it about? We’re talking about Kai Cenat, the current number 1 on the streaming platform Twitch. He has been active since 2021 and has already broken several records in his career.
On his channel, which according to sullygnome.com has 14.8 million followers (as of November 25, 2024), he streams well-known titles such as Elden Ring. With this game he was able to attract a lot of attention. Elden Ring is known for its high level of difficulty, which is why it is ideal for a stream.
Watching your favorite streamer die a virtual death over and over again is entertaining. After many hours, Kai Cenat finished the game with over 1,700 deaths. That’s a lot, even for Elden Ring.
His performance in the game showed that he can hold his own. He now even believes that no game is too difficult for him. On his stream, his viewers sent him suggestions for games that they thought Cenat couldn’t handle. One title in particular stands out.
Elden Ring recently caused a stir again after its Shadow of the Earth Tree DLC was nominated at the Game Awards. Here you can see the trailer:

An MMORPG that takes a long time even as a speedrun
Which game was suggested? One viewer mentioned Old School RuneScape. This is a version of the MMORPG RuneScape that was launched in 2013 and was intended to give players the “old” gaming experience back.
Kai Cenat said of the proposal: “My heart is too hard. RuneScape? I could win any game I set my mind to.” User Jake Lucky shared a clip of the statement on x.com.
The statement is interesting because Old School RuneScape cannot simply be played through. On the one hand, it is an MMORPG that will keep many players busy for years due to its large amount of content. On the other hand, the game doesn’t have a real ending.
The end point can best be described as reaching level 99 in all skills. Speedruns show that this project takes a very long time, even when running quickly. The record here is 32 days, 3 hours and 3 minutes (via speedrun.com).
Kai Cenat would probably need significantly longer, also because he doesn’t know the game yet. Some of its viewers know how difficult and tedious it can be to “finish” Old School RuneScape. That’s why they suggested the streamer not to aim for the maximum level as a goal, but rather to set alternative goals. About completing all quests.
It remains to be seen whether Cenat will really rise to the challenge. It would definitely be an exciting experiment that could eclipse the great effort involved in playing through Elden Ring. RuneScape is one of the most important representatives of the genre, and has been for a long time: These 7 MMORPGs were really successful even before WoW
