The April fools joke is that the video is an April fools joke. He's just looking to protect his life

If you stretch out all the letters of Mod Mark like wire, you can't make Zezima because it has an i, but if you cut one letter down to just a dot, you're left with only 6 letters and a dot for the i. Your theory was good, but I feel conspiracy theories need to be massively stretched out and contrived in order to be credible, its sorta like Area 51, of course an insanely remote base in the desert with tons of huge buildings and hangers isn't good enough to do alien research, you also need an massive advanced underground complex with entrances hidden with holographic projectors, ya know? lol.

This is an incredible April fools. I watched the whole video believing it all. Its only when I scrolled down to comment about Mod Mark's great work ethic that I saw comments pointing the joke out. For half an hour straight you had me. Very well done, sir.

Wait did I actually just watch all this on April fools and almost believe it all.....

Damnnnn, this is some good conspiracy theory! Love it, my dude! Thank you for such great videos.

Just imagine all the amazing screenshots/footage that Zezima has from those days. It’d be cool to hear all his stories one day. I have kept a screenshot of him in my friends chat for years lol.

Back in rs2, when dragon defenders came out, I was right outside the doors to the cyclops area. I recall hopping to a few different worlds before finding one that wasn't too crowded, and bam, Zezima was just standing right outside the entrance. I tried talking to him and he actually responded, I don't remember exactly what was said but just small talk really. Then a good couple minutes later the area exploded with other players and he logged out/hopped worlds. It was pretty cool. I had a hypercam video of it saved on my laptop but unfortunately it stopped working. I think I have that hard drive in a box somewhere still, maybe I'll try to find it and get the data recovered some day. It'd be interesting to watch because it was so long ago. The exact date and year I can't recall however, but it was the day of or after d defenders were released on rs2 so it'd probably be easy to figure out on the wiki. Anyway, this entire video I was wondering if that had been mod mark the entire time till I saw all the comments pointing out the date. It had me going the entire time, not gonna lie.

I noticed you hinted to Mod Mark having Zezima as an alt account in a previous video and I remember thinking; "Is this a common joke nowadays?" It turns out; it wasn't a common joke, it was the leg up for this entire video! N I C E

The moment he said Zezima, I thought my childhood is getting ruined, but then I remembered it's April 1st

Dang Will, making my childhood more exciting one video at a time.

The argument is so ambitious yet so convincingly delivered. This is honestly a really great and well researched video, especially from someone that isn't as popular as they'd deserve to be! ♥ (Ps. It took me embarrasingly long to realize what day it is.)

I watched this a year later not knowing of its existence. My god am I glad I read the comments before announcing to all my friends the bad news

Your dedication and love for the game is truly inspiring, definitely my fav RS content creator

This has been in my see later list for quite some time now... Only to discover it was released near april first. Great one, you definitely got me.

I watched this late last night and thought about it all day today... intensely. Wondering what it would do to the community and all our nostalgia. Then I came back to scroll through comments and learn some more, before it hit me how stupid I was. as I said in my comment of your last video "usually know the topics but you present them in a new/great way/entertaining way". HERE I WAS THINKING 'HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS'... Well done... You can tell any bloody story very well...

WOW, please don't be an April Fools thing because this was so well thought out and done that it actually makes sense. Especially the Drumgun/Gnome theory. Its odd they would put a snippet in the OSRS Timeline and the gnome being part of it, even though zezima didn't win that year. ODD. However, well done man, your videos always peak my curiosity with the game! Until the next video!

dude.....your story telling gift is amazing. You had me almost upload this damn video to my clan on discord and they would have punk'd my ass so hard. Luckily I watched it all the way through and saw the description.

7 months later and I'm still having a hard time believing this is just an April fool's joke... You know something that is being hidden in plain site 😂. I'm sure of it

That’s the scary part. So much BS can be thrown at the masses and if it looks legit people won’t even question it and think it is fact.

I know about RS as my kids grew up playing, I had the general idea of how it all works and plays. Ultima Online is where I spent many many hours. I recently discovered you channel and have been watching a lot of your videos. That being said, I had no clue that this video was all a joke. I watched it all finding it interesting as you researched and the conclusions you made. It is clear that I am not your target audience, but I learned a lot about RS history that basically doesn't exist. Well played. Well played.

It literally took me 10min in the video before i realized todays date.. Very well done 😂

I just got back in to runescape after quitting over a decade ago to the removal of free trade, and I've been binge watching your videos, and I have to say that you had me going until about 10 minutes in I was like "wow this is insane there is absolutely no way he's alluding to zezima being a..." wanting to spoil the ending and read the comments, I noticed the date it was uploaded and had an extremely hearty laugh. Thanks for that!

If this weren't april first I'd say you could easily confirm it by running a stylometric analysis on both of their speech patterns, the patterns and word usage in human speech are so unique it'd be all but conformation that zezima is mod mark

For the love of god. I found this now, and didn't realize it was an april fools joke until eighteen minutes in.

After watching this I looked up savaged hacked zezima and the plot thickens as there is no bank pin on the account and the bank is like a level 3 starter bank although they are maxed out?

You had me subscribed at "thok off" lmaoooo. Great video.

lol damn, legit unsure if this is an April fools thing or not, if it is...jeez dude, not sure I've ever seen anyone go that that long and deep into an April fools joke, definitely worth it though, was awesome lol.

at 13:11 is... is that @Josh Strife Hayes in the red party hat? also holy shit THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!? I was so hooked ready to to go in deep thinking this was legit. Especially since I found this video after it was mentioned in the "The fate of RuneScape's most infamous PKer" video. Daaaaamn. Good job!

This is probably the one of the most well-done April Fools ive ever seen. Everyone knows Zezima was actually that supercomputer chess AI Deep Blue! It was sad to see the AI sit and waste once it was retired from competition, so they taught it how to play RS!

It was well put together but I knew right away when you started with zezima it was a joke. Worth the time spent watching

Not just that bro, zezima also was the number one in fun orb too. Man, your theory is really kinda convincing.

Did you use part of the joker sound track for this video?

Are the RuneScape novels any good? Seems like some interesting lore I'm missing out on.

My theory is this: Zezima is an account played by multiple senior jagex employees in turns. And they are not allowed to disclose the fact.

Now that's a good theory

I loved this one. Super cool to always be looking back like that, I appreciate the research you do. The videos are always amazing!

Giving my age a bit here but I used to run with zez back in the early days and a lot of us classic vets of rs knew he was a jagex staffer

I saw and talked with Zezima for a tiny bit years back at Runespan. He was pretty quiet but mentioned watching football(soccer) for a bit. Seemed like an all right dude. I can't remember if he actually typed soccer or football though.

Has to be one of the best April Fools videos I've seen

I knew going in that it was April 1st. I did the Runescape balloon event before going to sleep last night. I wanted to hear jokes. I see you threw the balloon event in the video yourself. Nice touch.

Man...U sold me on this being the truth. Good job analyzing

I know Peter zezima irl and this is so far from the truth. It goes a lot deeper than this

Insane video like always

If it didn't come with a cease and desist order... It's not a secret hahaha I love your videos man. Patreon all day

Zezima is more Mark? I would never have though that.
