[@AntVenom]

As a former RuneScape creator, and as an overall KZbin creator of 14 years, it legitimately baffled me when people suggested the idea that you died in order to milk the series. If those people were paying attention even in the slightest, they would see this series is not successful purely because you're a location locked account. Maybe initially it was in some sense, but you proved very quickly that you are an entertainment titan. Your ability to tell an absolutely fantastic story is a truly unique trait that many will view as easy, until they try it for themselves. It's not easy, especially not to the level you tell those stories. Someone like you has the capability to come up with other challenges, or subjects that challenge the norm in many distinct ways. So the idea that you would die, in order to create a single episode that would ultimately take 1000's of hours to make is just silly. If you wanted to milk the series, you would have just put less content into each episode. You could have made episodes about each single skill or item grind. You could have made the episodes shorter. You could have done so many less obvious things to milk the series, but you didn't, because your commitment to making a good and entertaining product is obvious. As someone who see's the effort you put into this series, I apologize on behalf of those who don't. I look forward to seeing the re-build streamed. It's a great idea. And I look forward to any and all future projects that you aspire to create. So long as they capture the same "thinking differently / thinking smart" mindset that has been shown on the Swampletics series, I'm around for the long haul.

@@DelPlays the entirety of that post doesnt matter because you're rationalizing the thoughts of people who dont care about the creator and see them as free content, they EXPECT free content. they're ungrateful people who take content creators for granted and so their opinions on that really dont matter. if they dont understand why people have sponsors then it doesnt matter, the few people he wouldve lost from it are not 4/5 of his audience so its 100% worth it from a business perspective. the only reason, which i respect a lot, for him to not have sponsors on these videos is because its his artform and he doesnt want sponsors on it. thats all that matters, if he doesnt want the extra money because he likes the videos better that way then thats his choice, NOT the viewers choice. those sponsors bring in a fuck ton of money and would 100% outweigh the few self righteous losers who think sponsors "devalue" a FREE video. because their opinion is just wrong.

This is going to be a long read, but now more than ever I feel the need to get it out. I want to thank you more than anything for this series up to its current point. In February of 2019, I was in the darkest place in my life, constantly terrified I was going to lose someone in my life due to circumstances out of my control. Something that put me in the depths of anxiety and stress. I happened across your first swampletics video as a result of the youtube suggestions tab, and, at the time, it was the first time i had heard of an Ultimate Iron Man account. Starting to watch your videos, and follow the releases as they happened, helped me find a place of joy for even a little bit of my day. It helped me get a sense of my bearings with regards to my time management. To see what has happened to the account... well like you said, nothing to do but pick up and the pieces and continue forward. And that's exactly the mentality that helped me get through the toughest time in my life, so from one person who had to pick themselves up by the collar and dust yourself off, thank you for everything you have done for us as a community.

​@@EsthusIvhonnir I dislike that kind of logic. I think it unjustifiably dismisses a group of people's opinion by saying "Oh you think that, you must be terrible in these other ways too" without really providing any evidence. As well it kind of makes the whole thing overly personal when I don't think it has to be. For example if I said "I'm trying to eat vegan" and then immediately afterward described my egg omelet with cheese you'd probably say something. Not because you're personally bothered that I am not actually eating vegan but because it's very likely I'd mistaken veganism and vegetarianism in some way or might be inconsistent in the restrictions I'd put on myself. I think the same thing applies here, he's trying to accomplish a goal with the minimum number of departures from the region as possible. That's the way he wants to play the account. I don't think people are in the wrong for interpreting that more restrictively than others or arguing for their own perspective. After all that is how Settled himself has interpreted his own restriction and is why he hasn't done those quests even though a large amount of the community supports him doing so. Personally this is the first time I've ever commented on the subject and I would support him playing in whatever way he finds fun since the videos are always engaging, but I don't think it's right to say people are probably abusers just for interpreting something you might disagree with and I'd be wary of that kind of logic in general.

ive had a horror moment on a hardcore where i was playing way too tired and passed out while in the dwarf mines. king scorpion got me. horrible moments when you mind just isnt into it. honestly if your mind isnt into it i say take a break. your physical and mental health is more important then a day of grinding. will be nice to see you get your gear and everything back up and running. prayers to the barrows luck gods for low dry spells.

[@rabidlorax1650]

If you died to king scorpion your account wasn’t that good anyway.

[@pulsefel9210]

@@rabidlorax1650 most people would focus on the encouragement to take care of himself. you choose to be one of the people that makes me not play osrs much.

[@Tr3mbl3z]

As someone who has struggled recently with mental health and has had some really dark days I'm incredibly proud of the way you have taken this potentially devastating setback and re-assessed how you want to operate your channel and life so that you make decisions that put yourself first. I have so many words I would like to say to you moving forward but i will simply say that I admire your perseverance and strength. It sounds like you've had some really hard times and to throw this on top as well and to come out sounding more positive and driven than before is amazing to see. Much love swamp man

[@kevinnothellyt]

If people can’t see you for who you are through these videos, then they’re not REAL. Your commentary is so smooth and entertaining that I can honestly say I’d love to see any content you put out. Swampletics is just the beginning of your KZbin journey. Hyped for the rebuild, and for everything that comes after.

[@karl8252]

Can't imagine the heartbreak. Hope you turn the life around, Settled.

[@okmefirst]

i'm proud of you for being able to talk openly about your struggles with mental health, etc. without letting it bring you down or stop you from creating what you (and the rest of us) love! Please take good care of yourself, friend. You've added lots of joy to all our lives. (p.s. you should host a minecraft fan server

[@JIM-vp1me]

We are alot of people that will always follow you no matter how you decide to put out content - either through streaming or videos on youtube. I firmly believe that the best content will come from a feeling inside of you that YOU are in command and YOU decide how, when and what will be available to the public masses. Just want to thank you for the years of amazing content. A new video from the Swampletics series has seriously been the highlight of the day - and not because of Swampletics, but because of YOU, the man creating the series. No matter what account you play I am sure it will have the same amazing feeling aslong as there is passion within it. Remember to take care and put yourself ahead of everything else.

[@HumilityListens]

Well said

[@tylerbryant478]

What you've done for RS content creators is amazing. You've provided a dynamic that they have to be this creative. There's so many restricted iron man accounts now and im loving it. I love watching rebuilds and new beginnings. We all go through hard times, but the fact you're persisting through it is awesome. Thank you for all of your videos. I get the biggest rush of excitement every time I see one.

[@malachiedwards3783]

"I'm doing a lot better now" My favorite part of the vid. Glad to hear it, man. Best wishes

you're not soft, you're not ugly, you're not weak, you're not a fraud, you're not a failure, that's just your anxiety lying to you. much love from Brisbane Australia. always keen to see your pop up notification on my phone

My crying?

[@GamePlaysQ8]

Hey settled, Tbh I have nothing to say than I truly admire how you stood back on your feet and want to continue the series after all what happened in your life and the death at same day ...it's hard. But most importantly I'm glad that you will start doing what you love to do other than the swamp series which I felt like a chain to your creativity as a content creator. Good luck and wish you all the best!

[@EhSoap]

Love you man, rs3 player here but watching your vids is super entertaining and I couldn't even imagine doing the grind you've done with this series. I hope things in your personal life get sorted out and keep up the good work man!

lmao i was scroll down comments at the end of the vid and read this just as he said it, and lowkey I am dehydrated ;_;

[@AaronBeSpeedy]

This video felt extremely good to hear. First and most importantly, its good to hear your mental health has become a priority. Secondly, it makes me incredibly happy and excited to hear that im about to get more Settled!!! Even in your personal struggles and mental health issues, you continued to provide us with amazing content and made so many people happy. I can only imagine and excitedly look forward to the kind of shenanigans a happy and healthy Settled is going to bring!!!! Much love man and best of luck!!!! 💚💚💚💚

[@Ibrahim-Almarzouqi]

Settled. I promise you that it isn't only me, but most people are in it for you. Anyone could grind for hours upon hours but at the end of the day we're fans of you. Your way of speech, your way of editing, the pacing in your videos, it all comes together because of you. Nobody else could've made the series as great as you did. I honestly would watch a 3 hour video of you levelling woodcutting if it meant I'd be listening to you tell a story or teach me about the game or whatever else. We're with you whatever you do content-wise. We love you.

[@thijsdewit2231]

You have one of the biggest gifts anyone can have - a true passion for what you do. It resonates through your videos and inspires other people. I'm sure that at the end of the day it's not that important what type of series you make because it's your personality and passion that makes it great. Good luck on the rebuild!

[@newfynate4611]

Cant wait for the next series! Swampletics is one of the greatest pieces of content I've had the pleasure of watching on this platform, so I'm super hyped for everything you've got in the works for when it's over!

[@lloydparry6590]

When u said . Im going to start doing things for myself. That made me happy man. Keep doing u bro

[@jochemcorstens1101]

Grinded the hell outta this series today. Watched the whole series in 1 day. Subscribed right away once you mentioned the streaming. Gonna spend my time in those videos now. Love your vids and glad you got yourself out of the dark place you were in. After all: it is and always only will be a game!

[@maxbohnson1]

My heart breaks for you. That you even had to make a video like this is insane. For the future...I don't even play Runeacape, and I absolutely love this series. I find you massively entertaining. I can't wait to see what else you're going to make!

[@marcindathefierce]

"I'm going to start doing things for myself." 👏👏👏 yes brother you do you! You dedicate so much energy to your audience as an entertainer. You deserve to do what brings YOU joy always.

[@MadKillz101]

Dude, they made an entire league because of what you accomplished, don’t see this as a setback, look at it as a new challenge mate, goodluck with the future, keep it up!!

[@jordanlambert3279]

Literally the first thing I thought of when I heard of the new league.

[@Arrythmic798]

They should make npc copy of him welcoming people to morytania, saying "It's dangerous to go alone, take this with you" and hands them a snelm 😁

[@Scorpio1721]

" Don't go down that road, for it leads to Morytania, the home of the Swamp man...he's said to be strong enough to rip adventurers in half with his bare hands...his whip so drenched in Vampyre blood it transfers vampyrism...if you survive...they speak his name in harsh whispers, know to many as 'The Ghast Made Flesh' or 'Vampyres Bane'...you'd do well to avoid the swamp at night, he may capture you in his huge nets...avoid the swamp, avoid Morytania!!" -Random werewolf in Canifis, probably

[@Arrythmic798]

I just realized... He's been so long in the swamp, that he evolved, through his death he became the swamp. JAGEX should make a quest honoring his death! We must set onforth to rescue a lost adventurer, just to find out that he's became the spirit of the swamp, controlling an army of ghasts. 😁 Oh, this could be great!

[@michaelwolf9885]

I haven't watched any OSRS video in the last year beside of your series. And I don't watch it because of OSRS, but because you're an amazing storyteller and I was INVESTED since the very fist video. Good luck at the rebuild and take care of yourself! (Maybe consider a sponsor, it doesn't hurt the videos as much as you think it does.)

[@Undeadgummybear]

You know, I think this may have been one of the best things that could have happened to you. In this video you sound happier, you sound like you are excited for this new content. You push yourself in incredible ways that no one else in the game ever has. I am so excited to see your new content including trailblazer. I hope your mental health continues to get better and life treats you how you deserve to be treated, well. To your friends that helped you through this, we may not know who you are, but you are incredible people and we are thankful for what you did and the people that you are. Helping anyone through mental struggles can be a challenge in itself and the fact that this man had so much piled on him at once and you still stood by him and helped him through it is outstanding. You all deserve some sort of an award! We love your content and we will support you the entire way! Thank you for making the videos you do and entertaining us for the many hours you have. Keep your head up high and reach out to friends in times of need! Good luck on these new grinds, we love you Settled

Come for the swampletics Stay for Settled

[@ICHARLEMAGNEI]

All I heard was Swampletics season 2, return of the Snelm. Actually pumped for this.

[@coreyhamm7237]

I watched all your videos about you UIM and Swampletics. I love your content, and I cried myself when I saw the video where Swampletics died. I truly love the work and effort you put into your work, and I'm so excited to see your rebuild. I'll be along time subscriber to your channel, and I'll watch every video you make. God speed and God bless. Be safe, my dude, stay strong.

[@azuzie1]

i have been following you for nearly 2 years my man, I'm 25 and have been playing Runescape since I was 10 years old, i have 2 maxed accounts and one nearly maxed on old school. i have commented on a few of your video's, i have silently stood by as you blew everyone's expectations away. I speak for all of us when i say we watched an bit our nails as you poured hundreds, thousands of hours into this game. You broke this game down to a science, and the way you formatted it into video and explained it to people.... absolutely incredible, I know this comment might get overlooked, and that's okay. I have over 2.5 years gameplay into this game. I come back to it every now and then. I'm proud of where you have come from, you have an incredible following, and you have an extremely bright future. Everyone goes through rough patches in life, the thing is.... no matter what.... life is like a Runescape account, and you can use previous knowledge to rebuild a better you. We all started somewhere. sorry for the long post. Sincerely -Wise Old One.

[@notmyrealnameify]

I hope you can find a minute in each day to think about the following: every day your video's bring a bit of light to people that struggle. You bring a few tiny smiles to people that aren't able to smile otherwise. You bring distraction to people that are dealing with intense stress worrying about their mother, child or friend.

[@ConfidentallyIncorrect]

Hey Settled. I wanted to start off by saying that I appreciate everything you have done for this series, as it truly is my favorite RuneScape series on youtube, and I am certain that many others in the community feel the same way. I can't stress enough how unfair the whole community has treated and formed opinions of you since the release of the last episode (and the last couple of months in general). I can't say I know exactly how you feel with the stuff going on in your personal life, but I can say that I have been through similar experiences and wanted to assure you that things will only go up from here. Closing a chapter in your life such as the one you just went through is truly challenging both mentally and physically, but when it is all said and done, you will be left with a much stronger character and many valuable life lessons. I truly appreciate the fact that even with everything was going on, you were dedicated to the series and providing content to us all. I know I would have not blamed you if you took a lengthy break from youtube to focus on yourself, and I am positive that many others would have understood as well. Regardless, you kept your focus on a series that have provided thousands with hours of enjoyable content. Please do not be so hard on yourself, as mistakes happen to everyone, especially when your mind is in a million different places at once. Following the release of the last episode, the response from many in the community (especially on Reddit) was absolutely deplorable. Many tried to degrade you when you were at your absolute lowest without any way of knowing if what they were saying was factual, and I'm sure seeing some of this stuff did nothing but crush your already shattered mental health. I hope you don't let these things get to you, especially when they're things out of you control. You seem like a really likable guy and are still very young. I can only imagine the things you will certainly accomplish in the future. I know it is so cliche, but things really do get better. Keep being yourself and you will have no problem forming the healthiest of relationships with someone that loves you for who you are. I know it's likely that you will not even read this, but if you do, feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to about anything. I'm sure your friends around you are more than willing to talk about things with you too, as I'm sure they already have. Keep your head up, man. I, as well as many others, will always be here for you. Thanks for everything and good luck going forward my man.

[@gavinwatson3336]

So excited for Leagues, OG UIM, The Rebuild, and everything else to come!

[@wowm8comon]

Didn't know about the 6 hour log timer when in combat without auto--retaliate on. That explains everything. Best of luck on rebuild my man!

[@wowm8comon]

@Darren Ediss You are attacking someone while splashing. I didn't know that if for example: a rat attacked your character but your character doesn't hit back. It will force log out after 6 hours of live game time. That's really new to me and i have been playing for 13 years.

[@Eorzat]

Yeah, it's one of those niche mechanics that even the devs probably tend to forget about.

[@drakeadkins6711]

@Darren Ediss splashing doesn't work like that anymore of he was attacking it would have logged him at like 6 minutes

[@wowm8comon]

@Darren Ediss Correct. But you don't attack anything when its off. Which is what happened to settled which its understandable since most experienced players keep the autoretaliate off.

[@EugeneGolden]

The combat log timer is 20 minutes and he died in 17

[@hgzthrtq7501]

I really would not mind seeing a raid shaddow legends sponsor from you i have perfected the art of skipping that.😁

They must tell every creator it has to be 60 seconds at the start of the video. Ez pz skip

[@benjaminpaterson9711]

[@andrewbrook6879]

I don't play Runescape anymore, I've tried a few times recently but don't feel like I have the time or energy. I still get excited every time I see one of your videos. Your love and enthusiasm for this game brings me back. Keep it up.

[@wereskeleton8033]

Aw man, there goes my "Swampletics was abducted by aliens and probed" theory. (Love you man, have fun.)

[@FluffyBusch]

Damn the whole KZbin community watches Settled lmao

[@Arrythmic798]

I personally find rebuilds really fascinating, and it's really interesting to watch someone make a comeback from a devastating hit. About those who say it's fake... You know, there are also people still believing the earth is flat. Not everyone has evolved to think and breath in the same time :)

[@emoairsofter423]

Been doing a lot of shedding the bad dynamics in my life as well, and its really refreshing to hear your perspective on all of this. I'm glad you're taking this as a new challenge to overcome, and not something that ended your momentum. Ive been going through a dark time myself the past while, and while I'm starting to come out of it now, I was so wrapped up in my life that i wasn't making time for the things that made me happy, and I wasn't prioritizing my needs above what I felt I was supposed to be doing. Coming out of that, feeling my passions again and wanting more for myself than what others tell me I should want has been beautiful. Through that time though, if I ever was opening youtube to put on music to help me get through whatever tasks I had to do that day, and saw a new swampman video, I'd take the 20 minutes and watch it because it was one of the few things I didn't feel guilty about spending time for myself on. I wasnt even playing the game because it felt like I was wasting my time, your videos were my 20 minute glimpses into something that has always brought me joy. Figured I'd add that last part in because I'm sure there were times you were questioning how much this means, and to me, it was a whole fucking lot. Sending you all my love brotha, want you to know you'll never be alone in your fight with your mind, were all in this together. This is going to be a lesson to so many people that life goes on, amd we can overcome any odds life throws at us if were determined. I can't wait to see you finish the theater.

[@emoairsofter423]

Our early 20's are filled with these experiences, it'll all fall apart a few more times, and it will hurt just as bad the next time. As long as you keep pushing though, you realize every time you get knocked down and get back up, you get stronger. Just keep that compassion towards your friends, and always have their backs, and keep building eachother up. In the end, when it all falls apart, having people who you love with all your heart will make you realize, thats the only thing you need to have. Everything else will always be transient, but as long as you keep trying to foster love in the connections you have with good people, while cutting the bad ones out, you'll never have need for anything.
