DJ Alan Walker celebrated the end of a decade-long Old School RuneScape grind by maxing his account live on stage at Ultra Japan.
The Norwegian producer has been playing OSRS for almost ten years and decided to hit the major milestone in front of thousands of festivalgoers during his set.
Alan Walker completes decade-long RuneScape grind
Walker paused his Ultra Japan set to pull out his phone and explain to the crowd that he was about to complete something almost ten years in the making.
“About almost a decade ago I started a journey in a video game called Old School RuneScape,” Walker said. “Today, I’m basically maxing my account and have my phone right here.”
With his character displayed on-screen, Walker then reached max level as the crowd celebrated the achievement.
OSRS developer Jagex congratulated Walker in a September 20 X post, stating, “Gz on maxing your account at Ultra Live!”
“Might mean nothing to someone, but it means so much to me. I’ve been grinding like crazy the past decade,” he said.
Ticking off his last level 99, Walker said, “That is max level in a video game I’ve been playing for ten years.”
Maxing an Old School RuneScape account means reaching level 99 in every skill available in the game, a process that can typically take thousands of hours.
Walker has made no secret of his love for RuneScape in the past, and his interest in the game has increasingly crossed over into his music career.
During Tomorrowland in 2025, the DJ surprised the crowd by playing a remix of Sea Shanty 2, one of RuneScape’s most recognizable tracks.
He later collaborated with Jagex on music for Sailing, Old School RuneScape’s first new skill since the game launched in 2013.
Walker isn’t the only well-known musician with a love for RuneScape, either, as Chappell Roan previously revealed she’s a huge fan of the game and its iconic soundtrack.
