Jagex Cracks Down on Crypto-Driven Market Manipulation in Old School RuneScape

Jagex, the studio behind Old School RuneScape, has cracked down on market manipulation in their game's economy. This move comes after an investigation into cryptocurrency-fueled market manipulation revealed attempts to use in-game items for real-world gain.

The studio has implemented a zero-tolerance policy for accounts that engage in this practice, stating that using cryptocurrency or meme coins to trade against or profit from in-game item prices is strictly prohibited.

Those found guilty of market manipulation will face severe consequences, with the studio reserving discretion on what constitutes such actions. In addition, Jagex will take action against accounts with unintended economic effects, proportionate to the suspected intent.
