“maxing” an oldschool runescape account is notoriously hard, only the sweatiest of gamers dedicating hundreds of days of play time can pull it off. This is because 1 to 99 is almost an exponential curve. Getting level 92 is only half way to 99, and 92 is quite difficult to achieve, not to mention for all skills.
It has become somewhat of a nostalgic goal for a lot of gamers who played runescape as a kid, which is why it is still popular today 20+ years later.
I have a fun app idea where you use the same leveling curve but for personal and fitness goals. Max your real character instead.
Walking and moving around would give you some base xp/hr, like maybe 10k xp per hour. This is pretty standard for a low effort skill grind in osrs. Running and hiking could be 50k xp/hr. 99 is 13 million experience. Hook it into apple watch to count this xp automatically.
Gotta gamify it to get sweaty gamers to go touch grass. Habitica exists but I want the runescape grind 😆 maybe I’m weird.
