This is why I always tell y'all don't let me catch you on the wrong side of Al Kharid..
someone tried on the first page but I still don't get how actual money is involved
You can sell ingame money for real life money, he died and lost a large amount
30M and $2.147B are both the virtual currency, they’re just measured in two different styles in the game
When he died he lost it all to the person who killed him
Okay I get it. So there’s no real REAL money, it’s all fictional currency. Thread title should have been “Man loses fictional life savings” instead of “life savings in virtual money” or something. Thanks
Bro the dude who killed him sits in that exact spot 24/7 waiting for ppl to accidentaly tp there lmfaooo
know that nigga smell bad
He was at his personal house in the game but on a player vs player world. When he's in his personal house, he can't take damage.
He teleported to the Duel Arena (which is where players can bet money against each other in short duels to make or lose massive amounts of money), forgetting he was on a PvP world. When he teleported, a player was at the arena and casted teleblock (the blue/purple splash you see) which means he can't teleport away.
He has no food in his inventory, and has a s*** load of money on him.

In the top left corner, the 30M is a f***load of money in the game. People kept hitting the maximum amount of coins ($2.147B), so they had to make another type of way to collect money. He has thousands of irl money sitting in his wallet.
Anyways, dude who was at the Duel Arena teleblocked him, killed him, and laughed about it on Twitter. Other RuneScape players accused this twitch streamer of RWT (Real World Trading) and faking this stream so it could look like he didn't mean to die with thousands of irl money on him.
@purethoughts
what's wrong with real world trading?
nigga prolly smell like nut s*** and piss
nigga whole room smell like expired milk and cockroach s**
I don't even understand what happened in this clip
basically he got tricked and has no in game money
Y’all he didn’t actually INVEST anything to get the gold
He just played a f***load. Feel like most of the ppl asking questions are missing that
This is actually tragic. Now his Runescape wife is looking for a divorce and he'll need real money for child support.
That runescape alimony no f***ing joke.
what's wrong with real world trading?
It can cause fluctuations and affect the economy in-game by relating the money ingame to irl and what not, so it's just a lot easier to not allow it at all
Okay I get it. So there’s no real REAL money, it’s all fictional currency. Thread title should have been “Man loses fictional life savings” instead of “life savings in virtual money” or something. Thanks
"Fictional Life Savings" that can easily be sold for irl savings

Quite the breakdown for fake money
