Dupes? Bots? Do they even exist?
Over the course of the last 6-7 years, the emergence of MMORPG’s and online gaming has been immense. Many many games have come out, and while some became very successful, others ended up becoming wasted money. Either way, the games that did survive the initial onslaught of bad reviews and criticisms by skeptics became a battleground for players. Everyone is racing and battling to reach the top. Some form guilds to help each other, others grind all day and night to reach their goals. As you can see, this becomes a very painful task. Imagine wanting to reach level 80 in world of warcraft, but yet you feel like it takes forever. How about when you want to buy that party hat or new third age armor?
Don’t worry, its crossed all our minds at one point or another. So do hacks and dupes really exist? I know from personal knowledge that less than a year ago, botting was a very prevalent. Players began looking for RuneScape cheats or RuneScape hacks. Some did have luck cheating in games such as RuneScape, which lead to even bigger ambitions, you can read about an example in our other article about the dark side of runescape cheating. Let me say that bots did in fact exist at one point, but now selling gold in RuneScape is nearly impossible. All the major runescape gold sellers have now shut down, but this cost jagex many many players.
There are however legitimitate ways to leveling up and obtaining items, many players began to look for RuneScape tips, RuneScape money guides, RuneScape quest guides. Many of these players prevailed and these are the types of players that didn’t get banned. So to sum up this article, bots and dupes DID exist at one point.
Hello, I doubt many of you will remember me, but if you’re an old member from RuneCrypt, you probably do. I’m Racer Of All, used to be a forum moderator a long time ago (despite me not being credited as a retired mod) until I got banned from the site, and this where my story begins. I’d like to point out that I’ve never written for a blog before in my life, and I’m known for not doing so well in my English classes, so this will not be as well written as the article my partner Kami (also known as ThirdEyeBlind) wrote in April, which can be found here.
Three years ago or more, I was a normal RuneScape player, at that time I was also very active on the RuneCrypt fan site. Eventually I was offered the position of forum moderator and I happily accepted. I made many contributions to RC and I felt proud to help the community out. At that time Kami didn’t like me because, well to put it bluntly, I was new. However as time went on him and I got to talking a bit, he told me a bit about bug abuse but never really got into much detail about it. We eventually got to be friends and he told me more and more, he even abused bugs with respectable RC users at the time, some of whom were in the staff, but I will not name drop.
Why is RuneScape Addicting?
This question means different things to all of us. Over time RuneScape has evolved and the reason why we play the game could have fluctuated, maybe it was to pass time, maybe your just a little kid with nothing better to do, or maybe it was the pure fun factor of the game that had you coming back for more like that girl you know in school. Its different for all of us, but ill tell you guys about me.
I started playing RuneScape in December of 2004, and i was around 12 years old. I had alot of time. I wish i had that much now. Anyway, you know, tech was still evolving, its always evolving. I was just simply hooked on the game. I started off with a level 70 that my friend told me to cut wood for him. Little did i know he was using me to make cash, so i made up around 300k gold and one day i tried to login and i couldn’t! Well turns out my friend took the account back. But there is one thing i realized after that, i was good at making money. I knew how to work hard and achieve, and since there were no macro bot armies or anything back then well, legal gold making was easy!
About Old RuneScape Cheats
Its no surprise to most of us that every game can be cheated in one way or another. RuneScape is no exception, some of the newer players may think that RuneScape always had been this secure and free from cheats and whatnot. But this isn’t the case. There were plenty of methods that i will discuss below that were used to cheat in RuneScape.
RuneScape Bots came in all types and sorts. There were Auto Miners, Auto woodcutters, and so forth. In general, there were many different ways to automate your character and make money. To not get in trouble from anyone, (especially jagex), i am not going to go into detail on what other existing programs there are that are still being used.
