i dont think u understood what i ment, usualy these phishing attempt happen if someone actualy believes they can benefit, e.g. a massive amount of gold or whatever it is, unfortunatly the article dont specificaly state that, just phishing attacks that look like they legitametly come from runescape itself, only down side is, everyone should know that no online game will ask for there user credentials, so unfortunatly the uneducated keep getting screwed over

Mostly yes, but Runescape takes about 4800 hours of dedicated effort to max out. WAYYYY more than any other MMO. It's easy to get level 80 in WOW, it's near impossible to get to level 138 in Runescape.

He did spend real money for in-game gold so in a sense he did lose something of value.

Yeah, but its mostly not needed to max out in RS to have fun and do interesting stuff opposed to wow, where you get killed so much if you are not maxed/extremely high lvl.

There's no max level in Tibia. The current highest level is 465. The guy is clearly a botter, since the game has gone completely to **** now, but I know that the first player to 200 did it manually, that's likely around 100000 kills, and another 20000 of the hardest creature in the game, along with hundreds, if not thousands of hours training skills.
