Players can be seen in the video posted with texts that criticize Jagex for their decision and hashtags like #Free117. Another video shows more participants "marching" around Falador Square.

A few years ago, something odd started to happen in a video game known as Old School RuneScape. The game suddenly had a number of gamers who were new to the game and they were doing things in the same way. They were there for hours at a time, performing the same tasks every time. In addition to killing green dragons, they were collecting gold. Killing more green dragons as well as harvesting gold.

It was pretty obvious that these new players were what gamers refer to as "gold farmers." They were winning gold during the game and then converted the gold they won in the game into cash by selling it to other players via underground websites. This has been happening for a long time, and the majority of games prohibit it, but it still keeps happening.

The first question was: why was there suddenly many new players on Old School RuneScape? The answer lies in a single collapsing economy. Venezuela. Inflation rates were rising and threatening the currency of buy OSRS gold the nation. For thousands of Venezuelans Gold from video games was a source of shelter.
