The Story of RuneScape's Infamous DDoSer

3 years ago, a mysterious ddoser plagued RuneScape’s high-risk pkers. Players dubbed him the Greek God of routers. This is the story of Cheek Alerb: what happened, how players uncovered it and ultimately who was behind it.

I don't think the people who are in positions of power at Jagex genuinely care at all about us players. The fact that PLAYERS had to gather evidence is ridiculous.

This is the longest ExpressVPN ad I’ve ever seen

Funny to think that Cheeky Alerb/Ex-Mod Jed will see this video.

Jagex consistently surprises me with a lush history of incompetence.

Hey brother, just wanted to let you know you have an entire audience that hasn't touched RS since they were kids that love your vids. The lore man, it's something I'm so envious that my current main game doesn't have - top knotch shit homie 10/10 please keep it up.

My internet started to buffer watching this so the guy is still watching

Honestly it seems pretty likely Cheeky Alerb was Jed. Being able to feed IP addresses real time to another player just seems completely unlikely, and almost assuredly something that would get found out quickly- whereas Jed himself, if he was the one doing it, would probably be able to shift the blame from himself for at least a little while.

Making people lose hundreds of $$ in money explains him hiding lol, if he made me lose that kind of money I’d make him do rooftop agility irl

RuneScape is something else man I swear 😂

I remember bullerik was telling ice poseidon on stream once maybe late december 2015 that rot had an insider to Jagex and he laughed at him and no one in chat believed him.

mod jed is watching this video from an ice berg on alaska

Would’ve been a perfect video to sponsor expressVPN lmao

[jakec]

Lmao “one thing they didn’t look into is liking the video and buying our figurines”

[nko]

Would love to see you do an interview with Erik & joa on bug abusing.

[riono]

Make a Cheeky Alerb figure ill buy that shit

I became aware of this game when I was a freshman in college about 4 years ago and my roommate was flipping out about remembering it and getting re-addicted to it. I've only ever played it once lol, but these videos are so damn interesting.

[XGNSkulled]

Thank you for doing this video. I never knew this was a story. Very interesting and scary. Loved it and love the content !

[ugotblazed]

Runescape is so unique and crazy. Lol truly amazing all for a video game.

At 10:03 in private chat it shows a player named Makendu. That player got my 14 year old younger self to try to log into a phishing website back in like 2009 and yoinked all my stuff and even dropped my torso. Sad to see this player still around and somehow keeps popping up on content creator's vids.

[grrrniss]

liked strictly cause of how smoothly you threw the sponsor in there
