In the context of economic and social conditions, thousands of people have fled the country in search of a better life, and many people are eager to find their way of life. escape. In November 2019, the number of refugees and immigrants in Venezuela reached 3 million. Those who stay in the country are forced to find new ways of life. Some handbags are made in vain in Bolivar (Venezuelan currency) and then sold on the market, while others can take up virtual space, spend hours on computer screens and mobile phones, and play RuneScape online to find Green dragon human character.

RuneScape was originally launched by British developer Jagex in 2001, but in the past four years, more and more Venezuelans have started to play games, which is their main source of income. Former accountant Martinez asked him not to disclose his last name in order to protect his RuneScape account. Martinez resigned after inflation in Bolivia fell, and Bolivia can no longer live on the money earned.

"RUNESCAPE is now the most popular way to make money. According to Venezuela, you know that almost everyone knows this game very well. Or you want to understand strategic gamers and MSPs"

He said in a letter to the landfill: “As time goes by, my salary drops to $ 4 per month. We have no chance, so I decided to try this game. A neighbor told me that I Want to make money. ".

RuneScape has always been the lifeblood of Martinez and his entire family. He told Polygon that he built $ 450 worth of gold for RuneScape, and then spent the money to escape to Venezuela and Peru. She continued the game and added another $ 1,000, and paid it to her mother and girlfriend abroad.

Martinez wrote: "RuneScape is the most popular way to make money this season." "Due to your situation in Venezuela, almost everyone knows about this game."

Farming or "Golden Farm" refers to a video game that is designed to save a lot of money on the game (RuneScape Gold in this case), we are not gamers. This is nothing new, but with the restoration of Venezuela ’s infrastructure, it has been obvious for many years. All Venezuelan players we talked to in this story tell us that they sell gold with cryptocurrencies such as US dollars or Bitcoin, which means that their efforts will not harm the currency. The money they gave to Venezuelan Bolívar was difficult.

They also do n’t want to worry about finding a profitable workplace-a new study shows that 54% of Venezuelans traded in US dollars in October last year.

Martinez said: "I can't talk to friends, but without OSRS, my family will go hungry."

He said: "I personally admit that many people have left the country because of OSRS gold, but I still know that people are willing to do so." "I mean, almost all young people who can leave the country have returned to the king-maybe It is through OSRS or other means.
