Say goodbye to your underground cat-fighting ring because it is being removed from RuneScape this week. Rat Pits, a mini-game first introduced in 2005, is widely regarded as RuneScape’s worst mini-game and has been mostly abandoned for years. The premise is simple: Cats were the first pets introduced to RuneScape, so players could take them to rat pits and compete against other cat owners in whose pet could kill the most rats within a certain amount of time.
How do you make such a simple concept unappealing? Allow your cats to die. For what was a pretty significant time investment, your cat could die and unlike players would die permanently. That meant going back to Gertrude and starting all over from the kitten stage. The rewards were almost nonexistent, a paltry sum of coins, with the possible penalty for losing being grinding out another cat.
It also doesn’t help that Rat Pits has been the cause of several game-breaking bugs in the past, from allowing players to massacre the pets of others unimpeded, to duplicate items, and more.
Mod Kelpie posted on Twitter to tell players to get in before tomorrow’s update.
You got until Monday to ‘experience’ Ratpits before it is gone forever
