Initially, trades in real time happened informally. "You could buy some gold from a friend at high school." Jacob Reed, one of the most popular creators of YouTube videos on RuneScape who goes by the name of Crumb wrote on an email I sent to him. Later, demand for gold was higher than supply, and some players became full-time gold farmers, or people who create on-game currency and sell it for actual money.
Internet-age miners always played enormously multiplayer online games or MMOs which include Ultima Online and World of Warcraft. They even worked on various text-based virtual universes, explained Julian Dibbell, now a technology transactions lawyer who used to write about virtual economies in his journalistic work.
In the past, a lot of these gold-miners were located in China. Some were confined to makeshift factories, where they slayed virtual ogres and looted their bodies over 12-hour periods. There were instances of Chinese government employing prisoners as gold farms.
In RuneScape, the black-market economy supported by gold farmers was quite small until 2013. Some players were unsatisfied with how much the computer game has evolved since it first released in 2001. They asked Jagex to

reintroduce the previous version. Jagex released one from its archives, and players flocked back to what came to be known as Old School RuneScape.
A lot of them were just like Mobley. They played RuneScape in their teens, and then loved the graphically slick graphics and a groovy soundtrack. Although the 20- and 30-year-olds had hours to

spare when they were younger however, they were now juggling responsibilities beyond their homework.
