Over the course of the next few times in runescape, Marinez continued to hunt herbiboars. He spent over 36 hours on the task OSRS Gold. "There are moments when I find it difficult to bear being a part of the hunt ... but when it's for money I can put up with it for a moment," he messaged me in Spanish and added "It's just my job. And from it, I'm able to live."Marinez, who is 20 year old "does services" for others playing Old School RuneScape, a massively multiplayer online role playing game. World-wide players are able to pay him using Bitcoins to go on quests and level up their characters in the roles of miners, hunters, or fighters.In Venezuela the country where, in 2019, 96 percent of the population had less than the global poverty standard of $1.90 each day. as per a survey conducted by an Venezuelan university, Marinez does better than most.In addition to the pocket change he gets working at a nearby pizza shop He earns an average of $60 each month through RuneScape, enough to buy rice and cornmeal for arepas as well as rice for his son and sister. But for Marinez working on the internet isn't just about arepas. It's about freedom, even if he believes that the medieval fantasy game is boring.In the midst of one of the most devastating economic recessions in the last 45 years without war, the government and many others in Venezuela have turned toward the game of video as a means for survival as well as a possible route to migration. It's not just about sitting on a couch in front of the screen. It can mean movement. Hunting herbiboars in RuneScape could help finance the food we eat today as well as the future of the world in Colombia or Chile the countries in which Marinez is a member of the family.Across to the Caribbean Sea in Atlanta, just a few hundred miles away from Marinez, lives Bryan Mobley. As a teenager playing RuneScape frequently, he told me during a phone conversation. "It was entertaining osrs power leveling. It was a method to skip doing homework, shit like that," he said.
