Two years ago, Old School RuneScape banned the Duel Arena, an area of the game where players would gather to gamble for money and high-level gear through combat. Now, developer Jagex says it's banning an alternative form of high-stakes dueling.
In a statement, Jagex said that in 2022, it had decided that the Duel Arena was "unacceptable" in line with its rules against real-money trading (RMT). Since then, it says, "players have been pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable" in their attempts to find another way to get their gambling fix.
