S U O M I (formerly known as S_U__O__M_I, two spaces between the U, O and M) is the rank 1 overall player on the RuneScape Hiscores with 25 skills capped at 200 million experience. He is the first RuneScape player to reach 5 billion experience, and reached the maximum amount of xp in every skill prior to the release of Divination.

Early RuneScape career

S U O M I created his first account around 2001, but he stopped playing with it because he disliked its name. He decided to try playing RuneScape since his school friends used to play it, and he noticed a lot of children in his school library playing the game. He later created another account called "S U  O  M I"; he says one reason he chose the name was because he admired the nature in Finland (Suomi is a Finnish word which means "Finland").

Due to commitments with school, S U O M I did not initially have considerable time to play RuneScape. For the first three years of game play, he played as a non-member. He quit the game several times as a result of scams committed against him, but he stated "I always came back to [RuneScape] eventually." S U O M I's first 99 was in Firemaking, which he achieved in RuneScape Classic.

As S U O M I was finishing his school studies, he started to consider setting 200 million experience in all skills as a goal. After seeing Zezima obtain the milestone in multiple skills, he thought it would be cool if someone had 200 million experience in all skills, and he decided to pursue that goal. On 21 December 2008, he attained 200 million experience in his first skill, Fletching, by making magic and yew long bows. The second skill he attained this milestone in was Fishing, followed by Agility, Cooking, Mining, Smithing and Magic. After getting 200 million experience in his first skill, he started to be more open about his goal, and he observed that people wanted to help him achieve it; thus, he decided to visit Clan Chats to ask for donations. He listed several players who he says inspired him to achieve his goal: Allar, Elias, Fire Dancer0, Jebrim, Mi Thrill, Paperbag, Zarfot, and Zezima.

Later career

On 21 February 2011, S U O M I attained the maximum total level of 2,496 at the time. He had around 2.025 billion total experience when he maxed, and he became rank 5 overall. S U O M I states that he tried to avoid getting the maximum total level as long as possible, since once players reach the top page of the hiscores, they also "get lots of negative attention."

He gained 200 million experience in his 10th skill, Construction, on 1 October 2011. On 20 January 2012, he was the first player to obtain 200 million experience in 15 skills after he obtained the milestone in Defence. He also became the first player to obtain 4 billion overall experience on 7 March 2012. A few months later, on 9 July 2012, he attained 200 million experience in his 20th skill, Runecrafting.

In 2011, S U O M I uploaded his first video on YouTube after people kept requesting he make videos. He got a positive response after uploading some screenshots, so he decided to continue creating more videos. S U O M I used to communicate to his viewers by typing in the RuneScape chatbox, although after receiving messages from people asking him to say "hi", he decided to make commentary videos starting on 17 May 2012. He says that YouTube is his best memory about RuneScape, stating "RuneScape wouldn't be the same without it." S U O M I has about 46 thousand subscribers as of 25 December 2013.

On 24 September 2012, S U O M I stated that he would stop playing "hardcore" because he did not enjoy playing anymore. On 20 October 2012, with around 4.75 billion overall experience, S U O M I temporarily quit playing RuneScape to gain experience since he lost trust in Jagex. He returned 39 days later, on 28 November 2012, to gain 185,467 experience in Farming and 1741 experience in Hunter.

On 9 February 2013, S U O M I reached 199,999,998 experience in Thieving and became 2 experience away from 5 billion overall experience, the maximum possible at the time. He gained 1 more experience point on 11 February, for a total of 4,999,999,999 experience. Jagex had planned a trip for S U O M I to Jagex headquarters so he could get his final experience point there on 21 February. However, they rescinded their offer after watching one of S U O M I's videos in which he made disrespectful comments about Jagex. They also felt, were they to let the offer stand, his masturbation jokes might imply their acceptance of the jokes. S U O M I had since decided not to get 5 billion experience for an indeterminate time.

S U O M I and his friend Love Israel

S U O M I accidentally gained his final Thieving experience point on 18 March 2013 by catching a Guthixian butterfly, which was part of the Tribute to Guthix special event and gave experience to a player's lowest skill. This made S U O M I the first player to gain the maximum total experience possible at the time. Shortly after achieving this milestone, he received a mute for 3 days, preventing him from throwing a party.

On 1 April 2013, S U O M I posted a video on YouTube claiming that he was banned from RuneScape. It was confirmed by Mod Rocket that this is an April Fool's Joke.

The Floating Pen, writing in the Tip.It Times, stated that the effort devoted by S U O M I to achieve his goal was "astonishing". The writer also commented that society would be enriched by S U O M I's demonstration of dedication.

S U O M I recently managed to regain the top position in the highscores by maxing all skills into level 99, but stopped Divination after exactly 20 million experience in that skill (200m xp divided by ten).

Old School RuneScape career

S U O M I started playing Old School RuneScape on 22 February 2013, the day of its release, with the first account he created on RuneScape. He renamed the account "Suomi RS07" (later "Suomi OSRS"), and he was planning on getting the maximum total level in the game. He subsequently abandoned his goal, explaining: "I decided it's better to stop the endless grinding and concentrate on other parts of life too".
