“The staff is much more important than the stupid child” – MMORPG players show their best side

earthpressnews

In the MMORPG Oldschool RuneScape (Steam), a player’s question of how to get a valuable item back showed the MMORPG community from its dark side. The players on reddit give sinister advice for a simple problem.

What kind of magic wand is it?

  • The item is called “The Kodai Wand” and is worth around 96 million gold in OldSchool RuneScape.
  • The item has several advantages and is considered the strongest one-handed wand in OldSchool RuneScape. The staff deals 15% damage and has a 15% chance of causing no rune cost to offensive spells.
  • A player made the mistake of awarding this item.

    Player becomes a dad, stops playing the MMORPG and gives an item

    This was the player’s problem: A player asked the community on reddit for advice:

    He loaned the wand to a cousin in April 2021. His first child had just been born and he wanted to play less RuneScape.

    Now, he says proudly, he has outsmarted his wife and is allowed to stay at home as a father and look after the child: So logically, after two years, he logged back into RuneScape and wanted his staff back

    But his cousin had also become a father and had stopped playing RuneScape

    His question to the community: He’ll see his cousin again in November for Thanksgiving. How could he explain to him that after 2 years he would have to log back into his childhood “point and click” game, use 2-factor authentication, buy a membership and give him the baton back?

    “Ruin ​​his life and cause chaos”

    These were the brilliant pieces of advice from the community:

  • The MMORPG community’s top advice “Beat him up, fuck the little punk. Get your stuff back. Whatever you do, don’t be an adult here. Cause chaos. Ruin his life. This is RuneScape: Much more important than the stupid child!”
  • Another said: “Do all that and then kiss his sister!”
  • A third recommended: “Hit his kid too. Show his wife your gold status and make her your new RuneScape girlfriend”

    • The most perfidious suggestion was probably: He should make friends with his new niece or nephew. If the child is old enough, he should show the child how to play OldSchool Runescape and let him farm The Kodia Wand. Then all he has to do is ask the child to lend him the staff for a moment. Profit.

    Did the advice help? Surprisingly yes, but not in the way the advisors thought.

    The player says all he had to do was show the cousin the thread with the crazy suggestions and the cousin returned the wand without protest.

    Above all, the first comment about causing chaos was the deciding factor. When his cousin’s message came, the player was lying in bed thinking about how he could ruin his cousin’s life on Thanksgiving.
