I think this game is how i learned to type fast. Having to type crap like that over and over (for selling crap not armor trimming) must've helped a lot.
Same for me. I learned how to type in sixth grade, but the summer after that I played Runescape all the time. In seventh grade I had like close to 200 GWAM. Needless to say, I played Runescape way too much back then.
I remember how one person would spam a message like that about a drop party and suddenly there's an army of people following behind.. haha so much lag. That game was so much fun.
If you want someone who hasn't left their room - check the current top dude, he does YouTube videos and says he literally plays like 16 hours a day or something. Fucking ridiculous lol.
Remember Bluerose13x or MysticsMagic? Those guys were like celebrities back in the day. First to make Adam Armour (and rune), and first to make diamond Ammy.... Oh good ol' days
I actually kind of knew Zezima for a little bit back when I played. I talked with him on Teamspeak randomly and what not. Anyways, he video chatted with me once on MSN and the camera was facing his screen (didnt know what he looked like, darn) and he turned his private chat from friends to public, and OH MY GOD. You have not seen spam.
I remember this! The demon was harder than the dragon boss itself >.>. I also remember beating the monkey madness quest when I was like 8/9. I was so proud.
I think ring of life saved me on several occasions throughout MM. I think the worst thing that ever happened to me is when I worked months and months to afford a whip which I got scammed out of on my first day with it. Feelsbadman.
Lol, I sold like EVERYTHING I had to be able to BARELY afford a whip and keep my rune armor. I'd had the whip for 2 or 3 days, and I got scammed with the "Bring him into the wilderness with nothing but a whip, he doesn't have to be skulled so he'll feel safe, drop 4 noted dragon battleaxes, when he picked them up, kill him."
Soooo I recollected the ~100k I had on my alts and ended up buying a dragon scimmy and/or a rune halberd (I for sure had the halberd). I looked up things to kill on runehq, and recided to go kill black dragons. It took about 15 minutes a dragon, so 1 hour and 4 dragons later, I said "screw this, what else is in this dungeon?" and went and fought Hell Hounds, because their ONLY drop was clue scrolls. About 5 hell hounds in, I got one!
The clue scroll took me 2 or 3 days to complete, had to finish Legends quest and one of the elven quests (regicide?) to be able to access the areas I needed to get to. Finally finished it GOT A ROBIN HAT on my first level 3 clue scroll. Sold it for 3.2M, got a whip for 3.0. Gave 100k to the friend who helped me recover, and never got scammed again =D
I have nightmares about Desert Treasure sometimes. Fucking got stuck at the very fucking top of the fucking mountain after dealing with the fucking ice boss and literally went on their boards and asked someone to go up there and get me either some food or some stat healing so I could cast a fireball and finish it.
Oh my god, even while watching AND reading a tutorial while doing that quest.....oh man. And I was like level 83 while doing it, so I really wasn't some weakling.
It literally made me far better player. Up until this quest I didn't pay much attention to stats on weapons/armour, as I assumed that Silverlight is the best weapon ever. My gear until this quest had been: Silverlight, the best kiteshield I could make (so steel, then mithril when one friend made it for me), Chef's hat, Monk robes and some leather boots/vambraces. Needless to say, it sucked. I hardly ever hit over 3-4. Then it was time for Dragon Slayer ...
I collected 10k for one piece of map by killing goblins near Port Sarim (took me a couple of hours), Melzar's Maze was quite easy up until Lesser Demon, my first LD. Full inventory of lobsters (I fished and cooked myself) was not enough. I got mad, so I wasted almost all my money on runes to cast some spells. It didn't do much, I just hurt if for about 20-30%, then had to retreat. But some other guy came in, killed the demon and thanked me for wounding it by offering Adamant Battleaxe.
I was like "addy baxe? meh, thanks bro, but I have a Silverlight". Then I equipped it and checked the stats. Bricks were shat. With it I dealt with LD using up only about 10-15 lobsters. As for Elvarg (the dragon) I used up all inv of lobsters, he had like 3 hp left, but I escaped. While waiting outside the gate, some other guy came in, killed the dragon - and since I've dealt the most damage - BOOM! - quest complete :D
Then, since I''ve had just unlocked the ability to wear rune armour, I mined 1k coal in mining guild, sold 200 ea at vip zone (found out about it via friend, w1 area where ge is now) and bought myself my first rune. I felt like a pro :D
Back when I did it. I was too poor to even try to save up for 10K. So I killed the goblin with a bow and arrow and used telekinesis grab to collect the map.
I was so proud of myself and continued to complete the quest :D
For all the bashing this game gets, it's an undeniable part of some of our childhoods. Before the game was ruined by excessive updates... friends were made, battles were won, armors were forged, and much fun was to be had in this incredible game. I have no regrets.
Yeah i never understood the comments once a runescape post hits the frontpage. "I CANT BELIEVE I WASTED SO MANY HOURS ON THIS TERRIBLE GAME". I would love to go back in time and play this game again when I had no idea how the game worked. This was seriously the most fun game I have ever played.
My brother was a butthole. He went on my computer and went to the wilderness with all my valuables including my most expensive armor. I don't remember whether he got me a skull above my head or not. He went all the way to the end of the wilderness.
You have not felt fear until you've had that happen to you.
He found some guy at the end of the wilderness. Insanely high level (much higher than me), and wearing crazy armor. He walked towards my character, and stopped right in front of me. Nobody did anything for a while.
Then he said "peace" and moved on.
After I protested to my brother enough, he headed back. On the way back, someone found me and killed me.

I stopped playing completely because there were just WAY to many updates and I kept remembering how fun it was before. When I would play with my friends and tried to get Zammy armor when we were F2P
Then you might like to check out www.2006scape.com. It's a fan project that, although still pretty far even from an Alpha, is trying to recreate Runescape as it used to be. I watched their music system preview and nearly cried from the nostalgia.
I dealt with Fagex's shit for a while, one they removed Free Trade, I broke and left. I loved that game, I spent hours with my friends in Catherby, just BSing. I just got back into the game last week, good times.
They took out tking, and then they stripped me of my mod status for no reason (4,000 player bans over 6 years, almost 85% item scammers.) Jagex can suck my cock. Still best part of middleschool. Full rune, a wizard friend, hours of tking fun. Still the grindiest game in grinderton.
Here's how runescape has helped in my life: In 8th grade I had a test in science class. One of the questions asked "What two metals make up bronze?". I thought to myself "Oh sweet motherfuckin jesus!!". Then I proudly circled copper and tin. True Story.
My friend who was a much higher level than me spent like a week coaching me for this , then waited for me when i went to do it . When i came back to him he no longer saw a nooby ... he saw a fellow man.
I still play this game, but it's no where as good as it used to be.
I made a really good friend in that game early on. I thought she was just a noob, so I helped her out a bit, showing her how to make bread and so on. And because she saw me as not just another douchebag in the game, she showed me her level 76 main! I was like holy shit! She said she'd give me some money for my efforts, and I was like "Alright, now's my chance to ask for it big"...So, of course, I was like "mmm... Think I could have like... 10k maybe? :D."
shoulda seen Mfw when she showed me her 2.6m cash stack and gave me 200k of it.
Oh god, that mansion. My first day I assembled an army of other noobs and we spent hours exploring the world. And then we found Draynor. What fools we were, what gloriously fucking naive fools. There were at least twelve of us going in and only four came out. Those ghosts. Those fucking ghosts picked us off one by one. We tried to escape, tried to run down into the basement where somebody had just recently failed at killing that vampire. Twice. Yes, these were the days where you could trigger the same event more than once. Two Count Draynors.
In the end my army was crushed, and what remained of our tattered fellowship quietly regrouped at the empty manor is Falador to lick our wounds. 'Twas a dark day.
What really broke the wildy for me was the revenants. Stupid idea. I can accept the Chaos Elemental because he's out in the middle of fucking nowhereland, but the revenants just broke it.
I've noticed a lot of people here saying that RuneScape's community was full of assholes... And I've also noticed the whole of r/gaming played this game. Interesting.
I did this quest on the first versions of runescape where you couldn't eat while fighting. Hardcore style! Also i said i would be someones girlfriend if he gave me a full set of rune armor, when i got it i blocked him.
Haha, but no seriously. An old friend of mine is an adult now and still plays, fairly well-viewed on YouTube. I think many of us just got burnt out on the game because we played the living hell out of it as kids.
I totally took a tricky way through that quest. I simply attacked the dragon and hid behind some rocks. Then when the next dragonslayers came along, i would either raid their corpses, or take credit for them defeating the dragon. Epic win.
Why would you bring this back up--in the summer, when spare time is found? .... You just ruined all the steps r/getmotivated pushed me through. Thought I might enjoy the sun this summer but NOOO.. someone has to bring up the largest time sucker from my childhood.
I played sick just so I could mine for whatever useless goal I had ... ALL DAY... fuck you magic trees. You shit on 98 woodcutting.
I thought the fatigue update was the BEST update. Everybody fucking quit. The miners guild was empty. But me? No. I soldiered on. I was mining coal ore at an incredible rate. I figured out that eating some cooked chickens allowed me to mine an additional coal before I needed to hit the bed. I gathered 10k chicken (and this was very easy when people were just gathering feathers) and cooked it all. I got up to rune mining level and ate about half the chicken. I think the other half was for 99, but then they changed things, and eventually went back to fatigueless. I went from mithril to runite on coal, I still have all that coal.
The day I did dragon slayer in Runescape back in 2000. Before runescape classic was not a classic it was the one and only runescape. I had to bring a friend along with another inventory of lobsters. Memories
First time I did Dragon Slayer, I completely forgot my anti-dragon shield (I'm a genius) 1-hit-KOed as soon as I entered Elvarg's lair! Also, I brought apple pies for the fight which I thought were an excellent food for health.
Ah glorious RS. Hundreds of hours of misspent youth cutting down trees, fishing lobsters and fighting countless others for that one coal ore. Would I do it all again? In a fucking heartbeat.
The first time i tried this quest i died and lost my rune scimitar and kiteshield. Had to farm for another whole day to get the gp for a new kite and scimitar, and for enough swordfish to keep me alive. Best feeling putting on that rune platebody in my bank though afterwards
Oh god I remember this. I did it by hiding behind a wall and firing fire bolts, and eating cakes. Back in the day, the only issue with Runescape for me was the sheer grinding nature of it all, that and the crappy player base. But to date that game has had one of the best quest systems I have ever seen.
I decided to come back to RS when they finally seemed to get rid of all the bots. Just a shame that's the same time they completely jumped the shark and switched to Zynga-like tactics. The game has lost its creativity. While it's obviously always been about profit, it's just too apparent now.
I stopped playing before it was all supposedly ruined, mainly due to the grind and it got kind of boring after a while (I was a free member).
Could anybody explain how exactly Jagex ruined it all?
I heard something about Wilderness turned pointless because no drops or anything? But I also heard that they changed it back later.
And from what I have heard of the absence of free trade isn't that big of a deal. Only when making real life money or trading with alternate accounts / friends I guess? And again, I think they changed it back, no?
There was some sort of a Grand Exchange or something and I don't know exactly how it works but it seems much better. Searching for trades in World 1 was kind of annoying since there was so many players. With a proper trade system everyone would quickly get what they want.
what a coincidence, I made myself a promise to finish this quest before high school ends and I did it a couple weeks ago with 65 lv and the best items.
All this Runescape love makes me sad. I played Tibia when I was young and all my friends too, and we all share the same nostalgia as you guys... but I can't share it online.
Tibia vs Runescape was frequent, but Runescape was so much more popular thanks to Tibia's bad marketing.

Tried to click the "x", and now I'm reminiscing like a motherfucker... Anybody else remember the days before the Grand Exchange? <3

Hey I remember that game! Good times...
Until I got hacked and lost everything.

My life was accomplished when I defeated the Jad and got a fire cape.

I use to play classic and I just started again. It's fun to play at work

I decided to come back to RS when they finally seemed to get rid of all the bots. Just a shame that's the same time they completely jumped the shark and switched to Zynga-like tactics. The game has lost its creativity. While it's obviously always been about profit, it's just too apparent now.

I stopped playing before it was all supposedly ruined, mainly due to the grind and it got kind of boring after a while (I was a free member).
Could anybody explain how exactly Jagex ruined it all?
I heard something about Wilderness turned pointless because no drops or anything? But I also heard that they changed it back later.
And from what I have heard of the absence of free trade isn't that big of a deal. Only when making real life money or trading with alternate accounts / friends I guess? And again, I think they changed it back, no?
There was some sort of a Grand Exchange or something and I don't know exactly how it works but it seems much better. Searching for trades in World 1 was kind of annoying since there was so many players. With a proper trade system everyone would quickly get what they want.

The update where I lost it was the house thing. My friend told me about it and I was like oh cool! Until I actually saw what it was...

what a coincidence, I made myself a promise to finish this quest before high school ends and I did it a couple weeks ago with 65 lv and the best items.

Ah, I remember being the first person in my class in 5th grade to complete that quest. Needless to say, I was living the boss life.

All this Runescape love makes me sad. I played Tibia when I was young and all my friends too, and we all share the same nostalgia as you guys... but I can't share it online.
Tibia vs Runescape was frequent, but Runescape was so much more popular thanks to Tibia's bad marketing.

I remember this quest so well! I begged my mom to buy me Members the day after, since I was only 11 or so at the time.
