I just laughed out loud. My friends and I LOVED RuneScape in middle school. I'll meet yall in the wilderness to trade armor.

So true. A member of the clan I was in was operating a proper hedge fund, taking in investments from the clan and using it to flip on the Grand Exchange. Iirc he was even doing sorts of arbitrage, market making, and other advanced stuff.

Now he works at Google doing quantum computing research lol

Used to sell cooked lobbies to friends for cash back in the first few years of RuneScape. Good times

RuneScape millionaires?
