RuneScape has reached a historic milestone with a concurrent player count exceeding 258,000, the highest in its 25-year history. This surge coincides with political upheaval in Venezuela, where the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro by the United States has intensified economic instability. Venezuelan players, who have long relied on RuneScape's in-game economy for survival, are witnessing significant changes as they shift to other games due to declining in-game gold prices and increased competition from automated bots. Venezuelans have historically turned to Old School RuneScape (OSRS) as a means of earning a living amidst the country's economic collapse. The in-game currency, more stable than the bolivar, allowed players to convert gold into cryptocurrencies for real-world profit. However, as the OSRS gold-to-USD exchange rate falls, many Venezuelan players are migrating to other virtual worlds like Tibia and World of Warcraft, continuing their search for financial stability. This shift marks the end of an era for Venezuelan players in RuneScape, reflecting broader socio-economic challenges and the ongoing impact of cryptocurrency on global livelihoods.
