Hijackers stole $130,000 from RuneScape's Richest Player

[@tothepast]

Rumour has it that even the GE clerks worked for her at one point in time

[@raizerker]

Crazy stuff happened back in 2010-11. Kind of a sad story, then I remember how much her merchanting clan made me lose back in the day, so not as sad as it could be.

I didn't have much back then but chessy definitely made me gold i didn't lose more than i made

[@Eyeiiiseeyou]

I took part of the recovery scene. Made quite a bit and knew Haci, Friday, Sly, and many more.

[@PEPPACHICKEN]

i used to join merch clans back in the day but i would buy when the price would dump lol so i picked it up when the item crashed and then made profit when it recovered lol turned 20m to 70m back in the day lol

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

She was running a pyramid scheme whilst pump and dumping. Hard to feel bad for her.

[@GamingRevenant]

I don't know. I mean, Jagex *clearly knew* what happened. They obviously tried to mitigate the damage by banning the respective players. But to not even try to remedy the damage and simply giving back her items as a show of gratitude that she's been playing their own game... which is the least of all to do, just goes to show that Jagex didn't really ever consider players playing their game a high priority. That feels like they couldn't give two cents about her despite the importance of her character. Maybe it was foreshadowing the current state of the game.

[@Xazamas]

This is all "alleged" so take it with several heaps of salt.... 1. Jagex didn't restore anything to Chessy018 because they assumed she would just RMT them, out of fear that somebody would just hack her again. 2. Entire reason the hack was possible is that they had someone from 3rd party "rent a worker" -agency handle customer support. He was given insufficient onboarding and gave hackers access to Chessy018 account on his first day at the job. When hack was discovered, Jagex had security escort him out of the office. This would explain why multiple recovery attempts failed as supposed, but final one (without any new information, allegedly) went through.

[@stephen7690]

You really expect them to give a character that they don't if was in on it $130,000 worth of coins and items back? Thats asinine

She ran a pyramid scheme. There wasn't very much hard work. Least not post construction release.

[@HereNikoIs]

I was a noob back then, so I joined her clan to make money. Since I was a young kid i didnt know how it worked at the time, but it was a pyramid scheme. She and her close friends would buy up an item, then post the name of it as her channel name when they amassed a big enough stockpile. After that the clan would try to quickly buy up as much as this item as they could while Chessy and her friends would sell this item during the panic buying to make triple or 3x profit. They would then move onto new items and repeat this weekly, while the noobs in the chat, like me, who didn't know any better were left bag holding with the previous item crashing below the original price.

[@videocrowsnest5251]

@@quarreneverett4767 While it may, or may not apply to this case: I tend to notice Jagex is really reluctant to refund or return items in general. Which to me smells like an ancient policy from the days when they had no proper backend logs to determine what was going on, and password/account sharing - trust trading - etc was incredibly common. Now that they have modern systems where everything we do in game is basically logged and can be studied in the data (should one simply know how to do so), I see no real reason they cannot start actually returning items and coin in cases where it's completely clear as day you had a completely innocent party get hit by a malicious actor. Cause they seem to still by proxy of this ancient policy partially treat being hit by a malicious actor as the fault of the victim, and while they are more than willing to investigate in order to dish out penalties, they seem to still not like the idea of returning items, or stolen gold. Unless it's something big like one of their own employees does dirty stuff. Which links up nicely to them lacking a proper customer support team for other issues than billing - though as I recall, they are in the process of forming one at last.

My account was hacked once. I had worked for many months towards getting 2M and bought my first Dragon weapon, a 2h Dragon Sword. It was amazing, i was so happy and was killing stuff so fast and easily, then i got hacked and i quit the game for like 2 years. Twas the greatest injustice i had ever lived through. I came back obviously and kept playing, now 2m is pocket change.

I love the videos man, and also love the Animal Apogee remix in the background near the beginning :)

[@rswillmissit]

Such a good song!

[@LaVieBAOIM]

just seeing her name threw me back in time. absolutely incredible video, great job on this one dude!

[@SummoNerd]

I'm pretty sure that after got hacked in RS she went straight to stock market and got rich irl

[@doorsman7732]

During the time of her hi-jacking, she was already a CEO/Founder of an online company (which now has amassed more than what she lost) -- She is extremely successful and likely has this game to thank because of it.

10:05 ahh yes! I remember chessy telling me everytime to hit that like & Sub button on your channel. that advice was defiantly the best! Great video will! and i spotted my table! haha (i think, lol)

[@ShinobiVIPER]

I was hacked about 3 years ago, luckily I spread my wealth out and was able to bounce back. Now I keep my examine as private and use cosmetic overrides so nobody knows what gear I’m using

[@javabeanz8549]

That must be RS3.

[@arab]

this video was fucking sick

[@99pncrft]

Jamflex should have returned her items and put more effort into the account bans for the hijackers. You'd think a company with such a successful game would make less and less mistakes, but they have only became more unstable. It's so amazing how often they mess up big

[@javabeanz8549]

hmm, I was kind of feeling that way this morning, when they released an update, and within a few hours, there was another update, and from what I can tell, OSRS servers were offline for about 90 minutes.

[@Arborpress]

I was HUGE into merching dragon bones before GE. I was making millions (back when 1mil was a lot of money) The GE killed everything when it now had a set 'official' number on what the item was worth. Items were hard to come by before the GE which gave a lot of play with buying/selling them.

[@solodom01]

This channel is the fucking shit. The storytelling is enamoring

[@Rawbchu]

is the current chessy in runescape not her? the account has over 100m construction exp and looked very wealthy in game, very interesting. good video

[@rswillmissit]

Yeah - the real Chessy never returned to the game. The active one at the moment is an imposter.

[@Rawbchu]

@@rswillmissit i never knew that but that is good to know, i hope the real chessy is doing well in llife either way.

[@flowahpawah]

Igjen, Will.. Dette var en helt sykt informativ, fengende og interesang historie! Er rart å tenke på at lille Runescape fra 123spill skulle bety så mye for så mange! Og alle historiene som finnes.. Takk for at du deler dem! :) -Haugerud

[@mechanicallycreative9788]

Imagine if she started a real business, could have stole thousands.

[@Lennynz]

Quite fitting the guy who stole the account is named Sly

[@jackuoff24]

i can’t believe jagex didn’t give her all that stuff back considering they knew exactly what was taken

[@Bigmeep69]

Hahaha I love the Elon musk - emerald mine reference
