Gaming News “I’m amazed by this sheer willpower.” It took a very determined player 2,500 hours to complete a challenge in this famous MMO, the community can’t believe it
For years, massively multiplayer online role-playing games (also called MMORPGs) have served as a gauge of players’ determination. There is no shortage of challenges in this type of production, but players like to set their own rules. Recently a player achieved the goal he set for himself and showed unwavering determination even after 2500 hours of play!
MMOs, the place for all player challenges
Regardless of the genre, the world of video games has always featured spectacular challenges. challenge after challenge, Players rack their brains to find the next goal that will push them to surpass themselves. As we said, this type of feat can be found in all types of video games, although one is more common: that of MMOs! From time to time we briefly recount some heroic deeds and that of YouTuber and content creator Limpwurt, who we will mention, is quite remarkable.
Through the stage Old School RuneScape, Limpwurt’s name is extremely well known, especially because he constantly postpones the challenges he can set for himself in this MMO. Today, there are a significant number of rules in OldSchool RuneScape (abbreviated OSRS). But as everyone knows, the rules are there to be circumvented, twisted in all directions or even… tightened! In January 2021, Limpwurt therefore takes on the challenge of completing a run (the equivalent of a game) called “Xtreme Onechunk Inronman”.. After months and months or 2500 hours of play, Limpwurt has won!
2500 hours of gameplay to complete one of the longest and craziest challenges
With such a goal in mind, Limpwurt did not make the task easy for itself, especially since, as I said, it imposed some additional rules on itself with, for example, the obligation to complete all highest skill challenges (including skill cloaks) and complete all tasks available in the Adventurer’s Journal. As if all that wasn’t enough, he also had to get almost all of the monster collectibles and the monsters present in the different zones, as well as the unique rewards of each mini-game.
However, it must be clear that this challenge was mainly subject to organizational rules, since the Ironman restriction makes it impossible for him to exchange objects with other players, while the Chunk restriction means that the entire map is cut in the form of a grid, which gradually expands over time thanks to random dice rolls. There is no doubt that we had to spend more than 2500 hours to see the end! Obviously proud of his achievement, Limpwurt shared it on the OSRS subreddit and received a shower of upvotes and an avalanche of congratulatory comments from other players who admitted: amazed at his raw will “And who can’t believe that?” This idiot really did it ».
