In MMORPGs, it’s not uncommon for players to spend hundreds of hours leveling up, collecting gear, or completing achievements. But spending 3,475 hours on a single skill? That’s dedication beyond the ordinary. Old School RuneScape player Vollshtandig successfully reached 200 million Agility experience on October 16, 2026! This incredible feat caught the attention of GamesRadar+ senior reporter Austin Wood, who—after 13 years covering MMORPGs—called it one of the most incredible grinding challenges he’s ever seen.
3,475 Hours of Running Obstacles—Even Reporters Were Stunned!
Agility is one of the skills in the game, primarily used to unlock terrain shortcuts, and players typically need to repeatedly complete obstacle courses to gain experience. While the game offers various training methods, some of the more efficient ones are still quite repetitive, and the leveling speed isn’t particularly fast—making it one of the more tedious skills in the eyes of many players. Vollshtandig chose to take this to the extreme. According to game account tracking records, he spent a total of 3,475 hours finally reaching 200 million Agility experience.
According to Vollshtandig’s in-game stats, his 3,475-hour journey translates to approximately 145 days of continuous play—equivalent to nearly 5 months of grinding a single skill without rest. The sheer time investment is staggering, especially considering that most players would consider hundreds of hours on one skill to be excessive.
This achievement has sparked widespread discussion in the gaming community. Some admire Vollshtandig’s unprecedented perseverance, while others question whether such extreme grinding truly represents “playing games.” Either way, this milestone stands as a testament to what dedicated players can accomplish when they commit to a goal—no matter how time-consuming it may be.
