the story

in osrs, players know him as 420 kc. the 'kc' is kill count. boss kill counts are how the community marks progress, and dyl's account was so defined by his that the name stuck. he's literally the kill count guy.

in late april 2026, the kill count guy shipped a runelite plugin that makes kill counts better. he called it kill clog.

the plugin went live on the runelite plugin hub on april 28th. by the end of the week it had over 6,000 active installs and was the #1 plugin on phyce.dev's top plugins list.

context for journalists

old school runescape draws 150,000+ concurrent players. the runelite client is the dominant way to play it. the plugin hub is competitive, with hundreds of plugins, an active review queue, and a built-in trust warning that makes cold-start adoption hard. crossing 6,500 installs in the first week from a new developer is uncommon.

kill clog is dyl's first runelite plugin, shipped after building osrs-adjacent web projects like rigour hero. he doesn't have a follower base and didn't pay for promotion. the story is interesting precisely because everything pointed against it.
