    Suomi was the first RuneScape player to ever truly complete the game. Jagex wanted to celebrate this amazing achievement and offered to fly him out to their headquarters to celebrate, but retracted the offer soon after. An update hit RuneScape a few weeks later that some believe was created solely to sabotage him. Today you'll find out why.

      @@mike3667 You seem to overlook that they'll be back up within a 2 days to a week even if they need to change scripts out. The fact that they still need to do banwaves is the problem.
      Furthermore, looking at how long they condoned gambling (aka unfair Fight Arena) and didn't deal with it says a lot. Taking in Mod Trident's actions for that chick into account and Jagex being easily able to find it or hear complaints from the community and not dealing with it reinforces it.
      The general conclusion drawn from it all is Jagex or its employees are/were gambling/botting themselves and/or selling bot scripts for others to use.
      While the truth is uncertain, the suspicion is too massive. The time table to resolve the issues took far too long for suspicion to not grow outside reasonable standards.

    @OoDeucexoO 7 місяців тому +74

    You don't realize it, but you're pretty much spot on with the edating accusation lol at the time, Jagex's chat detection extended to private messages, so if you were sharing explicit messages, you would most likely receive an auto-mute. At the time he wasn't e-dating someone (i'm not going to name them), but he was close friends with someone who was trying to help him with his personal life. Suomi disappearing wasn't really due to anything other than him actually finding a life outside of RS. She was able to help him work through his issues, and from what I know, he ended up actually getting a girlfriend. I think there's weird overlap between some of the girls he was friends with at the time, since I know he had some explicit 'e-dating' relationships around the same time that probably contributed to the mute. Either way, he disappeared because he got his life together.
    I can count on one hand the number of people who probably know this and there isn't really any proof other than just being one of those few people who knew at the time. I don't have an contact with him or the people we knew at the time, so idk what happened after all the fallout with Jagex and maxing.
    Edit: Also, I know the mutes were automatic in many cases, but I do also know that Mod Infinity at the time was exceptionally corrupt, along with other mods like Mod Ramen and that one J. Mod that had a tumblr and was e-dating a minor at the time (Mod Lee aka: Regicidal). Small group of mods who truly ruined the game in terms of community by showing favoritism to certain players and targeting those who insisted Jagex uphold the integrity of their game. I could write a novel regarding the corrupt J. Mods at the time, but it's whatever because they're all gone now.

    It's always amazing to me how much resentment gaming communities build up towards the better players. Suomi and Zezima are Runescape's examples, but it doesn't matter which game you play - if there is a top player, there's also a chunk of players (and devs) who will find any reason they can to spit hatred at that top player. It's honestly an embarrassing facet of the gaming community, and I wish people were better at calling it out and shutting it down when it's seen.

    I once ran across suomi (S U O M I at the time, if I remember correctly) in rs3 in prif thieving from elves in the Cadarn district. We became friends in game, I asked him why he was still thieving even though he was 200m xp, he said it was just fun. Made me look at things in a different perspective, he actually enjoyed 'just' playing the game, regardless of xp. This was back in late 2014 I believe.

    I met him sometime around 02 or early 03 while mining coal for rares. We had similar levels and goals at the time, but I ended up ditching skilling entirely in favor of pking and staking especially when Rs2 was launched. He seemed like a cool and approachable kid around the same age as I was, unlike some other Finnish players (M_Oldfield, TheHate etc.) I lost touch with Suomi afterwards only playing Rs on/off and couldn't believe my eyes when I looked him up on hiscores having returned for the launch of Osrs. I think I had him added on my skiller turned plate pure so if by a stroke of luck you happen to read this - terveiset Jou Maanilta / Vorpal Sabrelta. Hyvin pelasit. :,D

    He absolutely did not deserve all that fucking hate that he got. And genuinely got fucked over by Jagex with those mutes. This was during a time when the mods and devs were so very sensitive to any public criticism and Suomi wasn't the only one to suffer, popular and not. As for those of you who are haters about asking for donations.... Those people fairly gave up their cash. And he did not do any underhanded things to get people to donate. He was the equivalent to Streamers today who get bits from fans for their content they stream and record. Grow the fuck up kids.
    If he is still secretly playing osrs or something I hope he is enjoying it casually. Or if he is not I do hope he is doing well in his life.
