The top post of all time with a whopping 25,700 karma is an in game screenshot by user u/McFluffigins, who was gilded nine times for his humor tagged post. McFluffigins started his climb to the most upvoted submission in r/2007Scape by starting a goal to receive the woodcutting pet beaver (a very rare drop from a mundane skilling activity). He promised to deliver a daily post with a fact about beavers everyday until his goal was met. His journey started on September 21, 2017 and ended when he was gifted that well-deserved beaver on November 2, 2017. Over the month and a half grind he gained many loyal followers who eagerly awaited his daily beaver facts, many of whom made numerous memes and text posts about needing the daily facts.
I need beaver facts in my life |
Beaver Fact #5 |
The Infernal Cape |
The next highest post submission is a video clip of arguably the best PvMer in the history of the game. Unlike McFluffigins and the beaver facts the poster of this video clip is not the player in the video but is the speedy redditor who won the karma race after Woox was the first to unlock the infernal cape. The infernal cape, the best in slot melee cape is a reward from completing The Inferno, the most challenging boss in the game. The Inferno is a lengthy and rigorous wave based minigame which takes a singler player through 69 waves with the final wave hosting TzKal-Zuk, a level 1200 monster boasting unwavering mechanics that the player must learn to defeat Zuk.
Old School Runescape has a vast community of gamers who stream themselves playing to the thousands of people watching. The Inferno was released on June 1, 2017 and with it brought a huge influx of viewers to streamers on Twitch, all intently watching as the best of the best tried their hardest to vanquish this undefeated foe. I remember making guesses with my friends about who would be the first while we were watching the streamers together. The most notable of streamers is Woox who managed to achieve glory as the first player to beat The Inferno. Woox made his way to Gielinor fame on June 3, 2017. User therealgodfarter, pulled in 22,639 karma earning his post the spot of second most upvoted post in r/2007Scape history.
First to defeat The Inferno wins an irl Infernal Cape |
Jagex promised to a year of membership, ticket and travel to RuneFest17 and an in real life Infernal Cape to the talented gamer who is first to defeat The Inferno.
