That jab you made about the 10-year gap on the scammer resumes is really going to cut deep. Dont worry me and the boys have hired you a counterhitman already.
One thing worth mentioning, the fact that the duel arena exists is why I will never think about gambling irl. Lost all my gp countless times back in the day, but it made me aware of how addicting and ultimately destructive gambling is.
In classic we would shit talk people at training spots until they accepted our duel got them to low health and fled the duel so they'd have extremely low health and the aggressive monsters would jump them after and kill them since in classic you could not eat in combat and then we'd take all the shit they dropped.
Haven't been playing in a few weeks now since d2r released. But on 4 accounts and over 8,000 combined hours, I've only ever entered the duel arena for clue scrolls.
@@nocapvisualz there's flaming toxicity sure, that's the community. But the toxicity that comes from the duel arena is different (Gold sellers/farmers, account sellers, bot farmers) ie the scourge thats infected osrs since its release are much more detrimental to the games health. When people see a video game as a way to make a living, they're not only removing the fun of the game for themselves, it's directly affecting other players.
J1m, you actually made me laugh harder than I have in years at the whole "NPC's being permanently pissed at you" bit. Everything about it, from your cadence and delivery to the faces on screen just meshed perfectly together to create comedy *gold!* (Troh, you did good, bud. This vid was edited perfectly!)
I used to sell cert in Draynor from what I remember. Main use of duel was over resources or mobs. Someone crashes your spot, you duel for it. Also the old 'free trip to lumby' as there was no home teleport and runes were hard to get, magic was not a commonly used skill, it was way too expensive.
As soon as I heard they were removing it, I thought back to that old Evolution of Combat video you made where you mentioned it and have been waiting since for you to make a video about it. So thank you Jimmy
Jagex said "long term we're going to remove the duel arena" meaning they have no plans on removing it anytime soon. Also them announcing it is in line with UK's recent law they're trying to pass on gambling in videogames. Literally if it wasn't for that they wouldn't be removing the duelarena.
Got talking to one of my conductors at work, I’m a trainmaster, while driving him to the head end of his train. We got talking about gaming and he brought up OSRS and asked when the last time I went to the Sands Casino…it is truly notorious in gaming. Well said Jimmy.
Staking back in the day was really cool. Everyone would be staking with only about a few hours worth of GP. The thing that really killed the duel arena was odd stakers.
Was a dice host for a month'ish. Made some very questionable decisions along with a boatload of gp. In my my mind I see all that was wrong with it, yet a small part of me still cherishes the memories
@@CaptainJackedPickle it’s not that dark, when I was a kid I did questionable things on rs and took advantage of bad bugs which made me bank. I still love the game though and a legit player now since I know what I did was terrible ( and that multiples of my accounts got banned) but the past is the past and I’m sure we aren’t the only ones who did dumb things as kids LOL
I used to do really shit scams where I would steal the html from jagex's site to Phish kids out of their accounts Sadly the only people that fell for it had fuck all in the bank Don't blame me Back in the day RuneScape was scam or be scammed
Honestly Troh's editing is so good, I didn't even notice that it wasn't you editing anymore. Style is super similar, can tell that you worked closely with him to perfect that!
I’m so glad this is gone. I got addicted at 13 and stole 3k from my dad on his credit card over a few months. I was staking on a private server called Near Reality and buying rsgp to switch to nrgp. I only stopped cause the server was shut down. I honestly never realized what I was actually doing as crazy as that sounds. Looking back it was one of the darkest times of my life. This should have happened years ago.
crazy bro. Imagine how many clueless children are flushing their close one's money down the drain with no malice or ill-will whatsoever. Just kids trying to get dopamine hits.
It didn't happen years ago because Jagex doesn't care how awful it is, they only cared when people started realizing the only way to make them remove it was to start spreading the stories about how terrible it is to media.
@@bootykraken7177 this. i used it as a kid, never stole to fund it. i always did well in it though, most people didnt even realise server ticks back then. its almost like im aware of my actions and their effect on others and myself.... weird how some kids can understand that and others dont.
Thank you for tackling addiction as a serious social issue both in-game and in real life. Great video. I haven't heard about the Dual Arena being officially set to close, but curious for what comes next.
rat pits are cool but my hope is that they replace the duel arena with the summoning skill, but instead of RS3's summoning, what you gotta do is seal away the souls of monsters you fight into trading cards, and then can use those cards to summon those same monsters in duels against another player's monsters lets be real, everyone playing old school runescape also grew up playing old school yugioh. I refuse to believe that this wouldn't be a massive success.
my fondest memories of the duel arena were when my friends and i as kids used to stake a set of d claws we had amongst each other and because most of us still had dialup internet at the time, we always used to call each other during duels to make the other person disconnect, so much fun
honestly hearing that the duel arena is being removed makes me both happy and relieved. as a kid i almost fell into the gambling pit, turning 10m into 500m then losing it all in about 20 minutes, and resisted the urge to keep going and never gambled in a game again, well atleast this kind of gambling. but some people with adictive personalities struggle with leaving it. ive met alteast 5 people i was decently close with on rs that saw a staking stream and wanted to go try it out. they ended up in a downward spiral that had more than in game repercussions. ive always tried my best to convince people how toxic and shitty of a place it was not just for their in game account but their mental health/state. everyone is confident that oh that addicted gambling guy that lost 20k usd+ irl that wont be me nah no way dude just 1 chuck and im out win or lose. they became depressed afterwards, lost direction again not only in game but in real life aswell because they didnt have that money to spend eventually i lost all contact with them, some by choice, some just disappeared. i hope they are all doing ok and got help
Honestly if the duel arena worked like lms, where you get points for winning or getting kills and then you can redeem them for rewards. Grinders still get their money, and we still get to have fun
Interesting misconception about gladiators is that most fights weren't to the death. Most of those guys were like our celebrities today plus the training and equipment were HELLA expensive for the age of antiquity. It's was kinda like the WWE.
People did still die though, they fought with real weapons, inflicted real wounds on one another and the medical care they had access to was rudimentary at best and outright harmful at worst, so the death rate was pretty high Also lot of other messed up things happened at the Colosseum, they'd pit unarmed prisoners against animals or armed gladiators/soldiers as a form of public execution, gladiators against animals (including intelligent ones like elephants) which were often tortured beforehand to make them angry... all in all it was really terrible by today's standards. Imo the comparison between Runescape duel arena and the actual Colosseum fight was really dumb, even if it was a joke
@@exantiuse497 more specifically were taking about gladiators. Not the random rabble or criminal forced to fight. Not everyone who entered the collesium was a gladiator. Gladiators we're athletes and celebrities that garnered favor from the masses their "fights" were more like staged exhibitions hence my comparison to WWE.
@@brandonavalos2718 Sure, but non-professionals still were forced to fight in the arena, often to the death, and people considered that a sport and entertainment. In the video he didn't specify he meant gladiator fights but Colosseum fights in general, that's why I mentioned the other fights as well
Let me explain this to everyone to show how this feels to me Jagex sells bonds in game for gold. This gold can be used to gamble. Repeat until rich. They had a legit way to have a constant cash flow. They took out the duel arena and it will help people instead help their pockets. This is why Jagex, to me, is ahead of Blizzard Activision.
Jim you were close but instead of Gertrude telling everyone, you just get arrested and sentenced to life in the Port Sarim jail with no possibility of parole
Always loved this game. For years, in between life events id log in, play hardcore for a few months, and then stop. Well, I signed up for the cellphone version about a year ago, played the hell outta it and loved it, was really good as an idle while I studied for college. Only to find myself sitting in front of the GE with a firecape and full angler on, a long LONG list of sell history, and all my bank sold off and -probably- RWT'd. For probably 50 bucks in modern exchange rates, years down the drain. At least they didnt drop my non tradables, but at least I fed a Venezuelan for a month. FML
So glad to be watching a J1mmy video again, always feels like it has been forever since the last. Honestly gonna miss the duel arena as someone who ever once staked. My hopes to ever get a max cape is also gone when the casino goes lmao. Btw TheScore Esports are a bunch of unethical plagiarists
Used to be fun at the start just to use new released weapons there. I remember using the barrelchest anchor when it released. But yeah the staking I just never got in to. My mates did...
I remember I use to host spinning plate, and classic cape games, I doubled winnings but never did bets bigger than a mil because, well, that was a lot of GP back in the day, fun though.
6:51 My foster dad got me and a lot of my friends banned. He bought gp and had given it all out. Even gave me a Santa hat… lasted about 3days. We all were pissed
Brings me back to when I would watch NightmareRH and he would go into PVP worlds and risk the craziest weapons at that time which to me were super expensive! I was a noob of course, but seeing him win was delightful- but when he lost, I laughed so hard on how he channeled that anger. He destroyed computers... Every time he lost. Comedy gold and that's just content baby.
I remember the old golden days of the arena back in like 2004/2005 just casually dueling with strangers for fun to practice your pvp skills without staking much and no concept of trading in game gp for RWC
Dueling in RSC was the OG home teleport and also a threat to people you didn’t like. “Send u to Lumby noob duel me” was a common threat to people walking weird or crashing your spot.
13:50 Exactly like what happened on Oda's stream an hour ago where he was about 2bill cleaned but then at the last chance turned it around and got 12b. The Duel Arena will be truly missed for the entertainment but happily waved at for the life crushing reasons
Jim, never has there been another content creator who makes me ugly laugh like you do. Your sense humour basically has a direct line to my funny bone - please never stop making videos
Best thing that ever happened to me in my RS life was losing almost $750 from staking. What was really sad/scary whatever you want to call it, was when I lost almost $250 in one stake, and the guy who won just moved on like it had never having. It was a life-altering amount of GP for my account, and the guy who won never even turned off his macro and was in another stake less than 10 seconds later. It was like wow, this was a huge amount of money to be playing with in an online game for kids, and it didn't even make that guy break stride. It just stuck with me.
Just put caps on how much you can stake and bring back item staking, rework the arena so it's not so easy for scammers give a option for whip only staking and have a moderator there 24/7 in the main staking world to stop scammers it's such a huge part of runescape I can't imagine it not being there
What jagex needs to do is make a new gertrude's cat type quest but with dogs, then make an arena for the dogs to fight and we can bet which dog kills the other
Sands once got me my first 200m i started with 3m so i can say i was happy cause 3m took me a few months to make of hard grinding thus it secured me never having to pay for membs cause i dumped it in bonds (sold some made some stonks) and used the rest then skilled the shit out of Smith till99 now i literally never worry about losing membs cause if i do its like 5ish hours of doing rune pbodies qnd then alch and wham im back. Then i just keep making air bstaffs and alch those for like idk 18hours and im good to go
lmao an 18 hour grind for something that is worth $11 does not seem worth it at all to me, you could pay for membs with 2 hours of work at a job paying minimum wage
I have a good idea to replace the duel arena: allow players to challenge PVP machine learning bots to practice PKing before joining the community. They could have different levels of difficulty and different types (pures, mains, etc)
The memories of me as a child "funning" other players in duel arena will always remain. It's about time this toxic piece of content was removed. I'm glad I still have a few videos of me dueling a mid 70's pure there.
What if the Grand Exchange starts their own investment services for sand casino fix? Puts/Calls on Nature runes. Charge a fee (money sink) to initiate the transaction. Bronze arrow stock to the moon.
Yeah till some toxic weirdos find a way to manipulate it or a popular streamer gets everyone to start pumping a certain item and then pulls with all the cash
@@TheBasedBalkan People already do that IRL with crypto coin rug pulls. Unfortunately, as long as RSGP has real world value, no matter the system, someone will find a way to exploit it.
When there is only safety and the last bit of soul squeezed out of every game, you will still find ways to fuck up your life and blame the next thing. fu
@@tillerphil4769 It's the parents job to supervise their kids. If you unload your kid to a device as a babysitter all kinds of things can happen, p0rn, gambling, trauma. We cant destroy everything because some w4nkers cant raise their kids. Not sorry.
Duel arena intention: "Let's practice 1v1s" and "Bro, I'm better than you." - "Nah bro, I'm better." - "Put up 100k then and prove it!" Duel Arena in practice: Flash:wave2:100B Whip only, no prayer, no equips, XxXSaltyNewbSlayerXxX
I'm not a huge dual arena person or a gambler IRL. Once in a blue moon but man some people forget this is a video game and if the video game has real world implications beyond the ones of just playing it in general that's totally on you to be there in the first place. I'm not a advocator of the DA, but I do think the impact it has had on the game is blown out of proportion. I think the impact it has made on 99% of peoples lives who play this game is out of proportion. I will miss the Dual Areana for the nostalgia and having the option in the game to stake even if I hardly ever do it I think is quite fun
id legitimately like to see a rats pit revival. Along with a bringing people back to burthropes games room. Not updating it much per say because i find the burthropes game room quite fun and hope others try it out. enjoyed the video!

Brings me back to when I would watch NightmareRH and he would go into PVP worlds and risk the craziest weapons at that time which to me were super expensive! I was a noob of course, but seeing him win was delightful- but when he lost, I laughed so hard on how he channeled that anger. He destroyed computers... Every time he lost. Comedy gold and that's just content baby.
I remember the old golden days of the arena back in like 2004/2005 just casually dueling with strangers for fun to practice your pvp skills without staking much and no concept of trading in game gp for RWC
Staking like 5k and some random shit, whip spec'ing in granite plates
One of the best youtube films I've ever seen, up there with the smash documentary (admittedly with a way way smaller budget).
They should turn the duel arena into ruins of some sort, and then use them in the new quest for raids 3.
That'd be cool.
That would be cool
Yo, my boi Jimbo with the 2 sponsors? Proud of you baby
hyphonix is gunna have to pay his loans back now.
He paid them off supposedly
He did check his stream and do !debt
Seeing that "Unregistered Hypercam" in the top left brings back memories, and memories bring back memories, oh, oh, oh...ah crap.
Man i lost about 400 irl trying to play an host flowers one week im glad i was able to realise i had a problem
Dueling in RSC was the OG home teleport and also a threat to people you didn’t like. “Send u to Lumby noob duel me” was a common threat to people walking weird or crashing your spot.
13:50 Exactly like what happened on Oda's stream an hour ago where he was about 2bill cleaned but then at the last chance turned it around and got 12b. The Duel Arena will be truly missed for the entertainment but happily waved at for the life crushing reasons
Jim, never has there been another content creator who makes me ugly laugh like you do. Your sense humour basically has a direct line to my funny bone - please never stop making videos
People will just find other ways to gamble imo. But this is a start.
I just wanted to say that your content is criminally under-rated.
I'm sorry I've been sleeping on you for so long.
Budddd, idc what framed says about you. You’re a god 🤣
these videos are my favorite content on youtube atm. ty j1mmy
Best thing that ever happened to me in my RS life was losing almost $750 from staking. What was really sad/scary whatever you want to call it, was when I lost almost $250 in one stake, and the guy who won just moved on like it had never having. It was a life-altering amount of GP for my account, and the guy who won never even turned off his macro and was in another stake less than 10 seconds later. It was like wow, this was a huge amount of money to be playing with in an online game for kids, and it didn't even make that guy break stride. It just stuck with me.
"Building a resume with a 10 year gap" lmao. and I thought my two year gap at 21 looked bad.
They should add fist of guthix as a good replacement. Make it available for F2P just like back in the day.
They need to make the rewards worth it also, its dead content in rs3 despite enjoying playing it
i worked my ass off for rune gauntlets nowdays u can just buy em xd
Excellent video & editing. Brought back a lot of Nostalgia.
don't remove duel arena plz, because then what do we even have anymore..? fishing??
Actually a genuinely great idea about the rat pits and the whole cat thing omg haha
Just put caps on how much you can stake and bring back item staking, rework the arena so it's not so easy for scammers give a option for whip only staking and have a moderator there 24/7 in the main staking world to stop scammers it's such a huge part of runescape I can't imagine it not being there
Lol they're not playing a mod to sit there and baby sit all you clowns. it's never coming back; deal with it
bro your vids are amazing. been on rs since 04, and its really refreshing to watch ur vids. I lol'd alot
What jagex needs to do is make a new gertrude's cat type quest but with dogs, then make an arena for the dogs to fight and we can bet which dog kills the other
or just make an animal arena quest, where all animals fight so u have mammals vs birds vs fish vs snakes vs reptiles.
I came here FULLY expecting a full Rat Pit Duel Arena suggestion and let me tell you…. J1mmy did not let me down
hey jim great video just one constructive criticism why didn't you talk about piss
I love this type of content my man, love chilling out to these, keep 'em coming :)
Sands once got me my first 200m i started with 3m so i can say i was happy cause 3m took me a few months to make of hard grinding thus it secured me never having to pay for membs cause i dumped it in bonds (sold some made some stonks) and used the rest then skilled the shit out of Smith till99 now i literally never worry about losing membs cause if i do its like 5ish hours of doing rune pbodies qnd then alch and wham im back. Then i just keep making air bstaffs and alch those for like idk 18hours and im good to go
lmao an 18 hour grind for something that is worth $11 does not seem worth it at all to me, you could pay for membs with 2 hours of work at a job paying minimum wage
@@noahm70 not everyone has a spare $11 after bills to burn
Wait what the fuck do you mean, rune platebodies alch for 40k but cost 60k to make from bars bought on ge? That loses money bro lmao
Yeah, you definitely didn't turn 3m into 200m.
@dylan he probably smith's the bars at blast furnace
Full support on the rat pits idea. Also the 258b Oda debt was much closer to 150k than 300k.
You’re like the general Sam of osrs
I subscribed because you played Nightmarerh's win in the duel arena. Lol will never forget that man.
I have a good idea to replace the duel arena: allow players to challenge PVP machine learning bots to practice PKing before joining the community. They could have different levels of difficulty and different types (pures, mains, etc)
Yeah I don’t think that it is ever a good idea to add bots to any online game.
This video will be great to come back in a few years and watch.
Thanks J1mmy!
The memories of me as a child "funning" other players in duel arena will always remain. It's about time this toxic piece of content was removed. I'm glad I still have a few videos of me dueling a mid 70's pure there.
Omg I saw troh logged in last week and I was freaking out! Gg guys y'all are awesome
!!!! you're awesome !!
What if the Grand Exchange starts their own investment services for sand casino fix? Puts/Calls on Nature runes. Charge a fee (money sink) to initiate the transaction. Bronze arrow stock to the moon.
this would actually be a lot of fun.
@@PaladinRyan there’s already tons of market watch things for the GE.
Yeah till some toxic weirdos find a way to manipulate it or a popular streamer gets everyone to start pumping a certain item and then pulls with all the cash
@@TheBasedBalkan People already do that IRL with crypto coin rug pulls. Unfortunately, as long as RSGP has real world value, no matter the system, someone will find a way to exploit it.
bro this video is pure fkn gold! the rat staking thing had me in tears omg this man deserves an award lol
When there is only safety and the last bit of soul squeezed out of every game, you will still find ways to fuck up your life and blame the next thing. fu
Yes, online gambling easily accessible to kids should be available to everyone!
@@tillerphil4769 It's the parents job to supervise their kids. If you unload your kid to a device as a babysitter all kinds of things can happen, p0rn, gambling, trauma. We cant destroy everything because some w4nkers cant raise their kids. Not sorry.
Almost a year later, Duel Arena is still here XD 6 months after their day to remove
Duel arena intention: "Let's practice 1v1s" and "Bro, I'm better than you." - "Nah bro, I'm better." - "Put up 100k then and prove it!"
Duel Arena in practice: Flash:wave2:100B Whip only, no prayer, no equips, XxXSaltyNewbSlayerXxX
I'm not a huge dual arena person or a gambler IRL. Once in a blue moon but man some people forget this is a video game and if the video game has real world implications beyond the ones of just playing it in general that's totally on you to be there in the first place. I'm not a advocator of the DA, but I do think the impact it has had on the game is blown out of proportion. I think the impact it has made on 99% of peoples lives who play this game is out of proportion. I will miss the Dual Areana for the nostalgia and having the option in the game to stake even if I hardly ever do it I think is quite fun
id legitimately like to see a rats pit revival. Along with a bringing people back to burthropes games room. Not updating it much per say because i find the burthropes game room quite fun and hope others try it out. enjoyed the video!
Me heading gambli- I mean the sand casino being removed: “So this is the happiness I lost.”
Ty Troh, oh & Jimmy :O), this was fun. I'll be sure to check baack.
Gertrude cat idea revision: you now have to buy the cats off her for 300 death runes to make up for the fucked up stuff you did
