'''Lynx Titan''' (known as Forsberg888 on ''RuneScape 3'') is an ''Old School Runescape'' player whose account is currently rank #1 on the ''Old School RuneScape'' Hiscores. It is estimated he played for 17-18 hours a day. He claims to play primarily for entertainment despite his highly pragmatic approach to training and the fact that he presumably forgoes much real-life activities in order to play for as many hours as he does. He currently has 99 in every skill and 200m XP in 20 skills. His current goal is attaining 200m XP in mining.

[view] • [talk]

Lynx Titan (known as Forsberg888 on RuneScape 3) is an Old School RuneScape player whose account is permanently rank #1 on the Old School RuneScape Hiscores, unless a new skill were to be released. It is estimated he plays for 17-18 hours a day. He claims to play primarily for entertainment despite his highly pragmatic approach to training and the fact that he presumably forgoes many real-life activities in order to play for as many hours as he does.

Lynx Titan was the first player to reach 200M XP in all 23 skills on December 28, 2018.

Old School history

On August 14, 2015, the reign of Lynx Titan began, as he achieved 99 Ranged and thereby ascended to rank 1 overall.

After achieving 200 million Hunter experience in less than 2 and a half months for his 5th 200M (improving the monthly record by over 30 million experience), he switched to Herblore. After achieving 200M Herblore XP, he started to train Slayer. He achieved 200M Slayer on May 10, 2016 and also finished off most of the ćombat skills. He also gained 187 million Construction XP in less than 2 weeks to finish off 200M Construction.

Notably, from the period of July 19, 2017 to August 1, 2017, he had not gained a single experience point; since Lynx Titan had played Old School RuneScape every single day while gaining massive amounts of experience, this is highly unusual. Upon returning to the game, he revealed that he had been on vacation without internet access for two weeks.[1]

Opinions

Lynx Titan/Forsberg888 is arguably the best and one of most efficient RuneScape players ever, even outlasting Drumgun for daily playtime. There are a lot of opinions about him, and other high profile players have made their thoughts known.

nobody can compete with him, he's insane. Even if I had unlimited time it would be impossible since he plays 18 hours every single day....he's a machine.

– Hey Jase, Reddit[2]

The former #1 Old School RuneScape player, Sick Nerd, did not approve of Lynx Titan's style of playing and holds a grudge against him. It is widely assumed that Sick Nerd ultimately quit competing for 200M all skills because Lynx Titan was gaining too much XP. Sick Nerd then gave up and changed his name to "Team Titan".

I'm not competing with him, I'd rather not use alts/afk nmz at night just to have a chance at keeping up, I'd rather play the way I enjoy :)

– Sick Nerd, YouTube[3]

Trivia

He is widely known for playing on more than one account at the same time; a strategy colloquially referred to as "multilogging." When he does this, he is typically training his main while crafting nature runes on a secondary account.

During Runefest 2015, he was awarded a Golden Gnome for "Hall of Fame" achievement. He showed the Gnome to his viewers in his RuneScape setup video on YouTube. The Golden Gnome Awards is an annual competition that recognizes members of the RuneScape community.
