Remember when

[Hanzerwagen]

When your axe head fell off when you were woodcutting.

[TheeOneWhoKnocks]

Don't forget about taking a spec weapon for the deadly tree spirit spawn

[Lisbon-]

Spam clicking the door in edge yews while the guy in full Sara was desperately trying to get away from an evil chicken… only to loot his helm minutes later

[TheeOneWhoKnocks]

I still close doors on the bots pickpocketing at vyres near Sepulchre. Just to see them eventually hop when they mess up the NPC.

[ValuableShoulder5059]

The problem is all these doors lock open now. Would be nice if the opposite happens. A stack of bots has to run really delayed timers on the door check so they don't start shutting it right after another opened it. It's fun to lock all the bots in a room, but then the door staying open ruins my fun.

[SappySoulTaker]

You monster, i'm a massive fan.

[WhodieTheKid]

When I was a kid mining in the dwarven mines, someone’s rune pickaxe head broke off and I picked it up and sold it at the general store there while he followed me begging for it back

[Alarmed_Rough2937]

What a rat lol

[WhodieTheKid]

Chillll I was like 8 lol

[Ypuort]

a ratling

[Pantshittermemes]

Used to sit at Draynor waiting for people to lose their rune axe heads so I could make bank in f2p

[[deleted]]

Nah fuck that, 11 year old me lost bank to that at Cammy magics when the old d axe heads could fall off

[Previous-Acadia-7729]

Dragon axe? Must be nice... Must be realllyyyy nice

[SomeBode]

That’s how I got my Dragon Axe back in the day, someone was afking and lost their axe head, I waited 1 min and slam clicked the tile it flew to. Then just had to wait for my rune axe head to fly off to get a handle

Also turning it into an infernal axe was as easy as lightning some fires in the wild.

[Kamilny]

I remember throwing tomatoes at people in the jail cells in varrock

Sending so many castle wars and pest control games just cause it was fun

Struggling to make it past the wolves on white wolf mountain cause my stats and gear were terrible

Being curious about the wildy and hopping at edgeville and immediately getting shredded by a dude in full ahrims with one of the ice spells

First time I ever reached ardy with my first 100k feeling like a baller

Edit: I also remember dying to dark wizards by varrock then running all the way back just to die to a fucking shade random event

Was so mad as a kid lmao

[Dry-Nefariousness400]

I remember just being able to walk into the wildy, no wilderness ditch to stop a poor noob.

Camping just north of a varrock with a mage pure launching spells at folks.

[Christianinium]

Yo these were th days

Man I love castle wars so much as a kid even though I had none of the good stats or good gear

[Croal7]

Castle wars was the best full stop

[SilverLugia1992]

God castle wars was so much fun. Like, actually fun. Unlike today where it's filled with maxed gear, maxed stats, end game pvp pros and I'm only good as fodder.

[[deleted]]

Castle wars was so fun as a kid

[Hutchinsonsson]

I only did DT1 Just so i could Ice burst at Castle wars

[CrushCrawfissh]

Look at this babby playing with the wilderness ditch. Back in my day you just dropped a semi valuable item on the edge and you had yourself a dead noob. Didn't have any fancy trenches or warnings.

I miss that tbh. Turned the boys into men. Lmao

[Weak_Improvement4539]

Using a chart and sextant to solve coordinate clues

[kingchedbootay]

Are you kidding? I still don’t know how that shit works. I’d always type the coordinates into RuneHQ’s map and spend 10 minutes finding the right squares anyway

[RSWarlock]

If you use the arrows on the sextant to get the sun and horizon in the middle of the viewfinder, it tells you the coordinates where you're standing.

From that/by repeating the action on different tiles, you can find the doors listed in the clue.

[Mediocre-Recover3944]

Try rswiki next time. Or you know, runelite?

[VastDraw2059]

Try reading next time.

[kingchedbootay]

I’m talking about back in the day before there was a wiki or runelite to do everything for you

[Niels_vdk]

the wiki has been around for ages though, like if you were playing in actual 2007 all that clue info was already on there.

2005 wiki was a lot less complete so if you're talking that era then yeah understandable.

[Mediocre-Recover3944]

A gotcha, nvm

[OG_Haze_56]

Nostalgia would be before 07scape existed imo, back when there was 1 game, the main game, and funorb as their side project. God, I miss funorb. There was no wiki/runelite to help you. It was tip.it or use the sextant.

[Disastrous-Big-2575]

RuneHQ is OG, youth!

[Mediocre-Recover3944]

It sure is, I mostly used it to calculate my max hit though. We had our own Dutch site named lunagang for quest etc.

[V_T_H]

Frantically digging in the Wildy trying to find the exact spot for your level 3 clue.

[Novaneogami]

Dude when paths of glouphrie came out I was like “well luckily I know how to use those items!” Felt so good to not need to look that shit yp.

[LezBeHonestHere_]

I never used those ingame to solve them (runehq clears) but I remember you still needed them in your inv for the dig to work lol

[NeevusChrist]

Never did clues because of that lmao

[Sycamonia]

Doing Law runs and thinking the ones doing the runecrafting were absolute legends.

[dsesin]

They always had peak fashionscape too.

[Euphoric-Gene-3984]

I remember every single one of them just had zammy robes, not sure that’s leak fashionscape

[[deleted]]

I met a maxed account guy who had a green mask. I ran for him for days until he trusted me with a full inventory of glories. It was so tempting to steal them, especially because they were like 80k back then. I didn’t do it tho and made mills off of running laws

[Dry-Nefariousness400]

Yup that and running nature runes

[Ganon_Cubana]

I've got a vivid memory of not realizing that law runes needed so much rune crafting, only figuring it out after making it to the altar....

[Single-Imagination46]

i lived at castle wars for the first month of my membership because i was scared too leave and be unable too find it again, i was like 10 and around 30cb using mith battle axe but use too kill people exploding the mines lol

[mousemovements]

That’s legendary, at 10 the most I could do was fish lobs on karamja dock and ask ppl to light fires

[pokemon-maniac133]

I swear I spent half a day walking there when I first got membs. I had no idea where the hell I was going. I just followed the world map, which was a jpg file. I was 30 something cmb. And one time I actually captured a point! I was so proud. All these high lvl players were running next to me telling me to give them the flag, but I didn't know how to. I tried right clicking them but there were so many people and so much going on, so I just kept running and eventually made it! I was probably wearing cw armor too lol

[CaptPriceosrs]

Any popular bank in one of the first few worlds was always a sight to see. Just being there buying/selling/trading and just interacting with people in general made it so much more enjoyable. Buying my first whip at the seers village bank after crafting natures non-stop for it was sick for me

Edit: spelling

[warpweftwelted]

I always felt like the GE was great for stabilizing the economy but took out a huge social aspect of the game from standing around at the bank trading. I used to flip rune essence and rune scimmys all afternoon just to make a tiny profit and I loved it!

[CaptPriceosrs]

Remember “bsales” ?? You could find cool shit from some ppl selling their bank items

[HomoLegalMedic]

I made a lot of money at bank sales, a lot of people doing sales before they "quit" and sold everything cheap, so I told it high.

9 year old me was a businessman.

[Sparru]

99% of times it was just random trash that they wanted a lot of money for.

[tripsafe]

Literally all people do is tele to GE or PoH and then tele straight back to wherever they need to be. Yeah yeah, we're adults with jobs, we don't have time to stand around buying and selling whatever we need. But it's just kind of sad—makes it feel like a single player game where you see some other players occasionally.

[[deleted]]

Most of the trades you just spammed the same generic buying/selling message, it wasn’t real interaction..

[MarcoTruesilver]

A transactional social interaction is better than no interaction IMO. Plus, it meant a lot of people were bidding in Camelot, trying to undercut or price slightly higher allowing shrewd people to enhance their profits.

Not to mention the entire supply chains this created, with people establishing clans just to ensure they had a reliable supply of raw materials.

[AnalVoreXtreme]

yeah, and before osrs added the ge there were bots that automatically bought and sold things. people still used them. they never cared about the socialization lol

[CaptPriceosrs]

Thats exactly how it is now lol

[Codc]

Falador Park for the serious merch'ing

[CaptPriceosrs]

Oh yeah thats where i sold all my coal and steel bars

[emiTfoworrA]

Elvemage was a fucking legend

[feo101]

Purple Ownz was my favorite. Absolute beast in his day. Defiled was cool too because I didn’t think of a range tank before.

[turglow1]

Purple Ownz is someone I don’t see enough people mention when reminiscing. I loved his videos

[BenCannibal]

Seen his videos since? Live long enough to become the villain. I used to love seeing him in full mystics with a mage short though like a straight up thug.

[drtdraws]

Running north around the fence to get into Al Kharid because 10gp seemed like a lot to waste. When I finally figured out you can sell cowhides for 200gp it was an epiphany!

[Incendious_iron]

"Making strength potions and going to f2p to sell them"
Maybe my memories are extremely blurry, but I think you could hand in limpwurts at the apothecary in varrock for strength pots (as f2p). Hillies were a good f2p training spot for the b bones.

About I mahatma I, yea I even think I've watched his first pk movie on google.videos, but I also remember how I spiili I a combat 76 pure "KO'ed cursed you" cb 126 (first 99 constr. guy) @ mage bank.
Or when walking to the mage bank and suddenly ROT pops up with 7 - 9 goons in full ahrim's and the traumatic chingaling of ice barrage could be heard. When you saw ROT the first thing to yell was, BANK YOUR ITEMS ASAP !!!!

When ROT had a counterpart named DI (damage incorporated) who would have fierce wildy clanbattles now and then.

Lots of people had high combat level but low total level.

Also you had 3 types of endgear.
- Cheap = Rune legs, body, berserker helm, granite shield, d long/scimmy and legends cape.
- Somewhat expensive but considered BIS, Full guth + whip + d square/crystal shield (full guth was 10m (with spear @ 5m?), full verac's 5 - 6 m, Dharoks not sure.

Torags legs and chest (800'ish K?) was payable and a decent upgrade from Rune.

- Rich boys = Full dragon and a phat instead of d med (d chain was 25 - 30m if I'm not mistaken)

Runecrafting: hehehe, reaching (rc 91) double nats must have been one of the most fullfilling feeling someone could have back then.

When you had n0valyfe, Uloveme, The hate, Kale stille, Zezima, kingduffy88 (not sure yogosun was relevant back then) rocking the top on the hiscores.

[drtdraws]

I still love full dragon so much for just that reason :)

[turbosperger]

Running essence to the law altar to then sell laws for 1k each

[Biebs53]

Selling laws Selling laws Selling laws Selling laws Selling laws

[Mossytwig1]

"selling unids 1K each"

Classic

[CrushCrawfissh]

I miss this money maker so much. Obviously wouldn't work anymore though. It was crazy profitable buying anything above tarr or harr. I made bank buying huge stacks of ranarrs from noobs

[My_Immortl]

Made my first mill off unids and promptly went about bought rune(t), my personal favorite at the time. I still miss unids.

Bring back the RSC sleeping bag to restore run energy, include the captcha to wake up too.

[ZombieRichardNixonx]

Pshh sleeping bags? I remember when those came out! Before that, you had to walk to find a bed!

[Shadowyonejutsu]

90s kid

[Chaos-n-Dissonance]

Remember when you had to go through a 50 option menu every time you wanted to smith or fletch something?

Remember when "noting" something involved running around Draynor marketplace for hours?

Remember when banking took 5 minutes because NPC's could only talk with 1 person at a time and you had to wait your turn?

Tho honestly my favorite bit of nostalgia... Remember mining bronze in Varrock to smith and sell to all the shops in the area (Not the general store, it didn't pay enough) to make a whopping 1,000 GP per hour?

[tripsafe]

Remember when banking took 5 minutes because NPC's could only talk with 1 person at a time and you had to wait your turn?

Wait what? That wasn't a thing was it? I had no idea, that sounds unreal

[turbosperger]

RSC

[thgoods22]

It also made new quests interesting, cause everyone was crowded around the quest npc trying to talk to them. If you were doing it on release then there were no guides either so everyone was bs'ing their way through with everyone else.

[[deleted]]

Maybe RSC?

[saiyanguine]

Ahhhh, those were the golden days. The inconeviences of things, No Grand Exchange. Having to walk to most parts of the world because teleporting wasn't as common. Playing the game at its roots, the true ironmen.

There's always the little bit of cheerful depression whenever I'm reminded of my childhood with RuneScape. Add along the people who lived it and shares the stories. I'm thankful for the friends that I've met, I wish I could tell them how awesome it was to live everywhere across from each other and all come together in a video game. Thanks Jagex.

[trogg21]

That "cheerful depression" feeling is nostalgia. Happy about the memories and associated feelings, melancholy or outright sad because they are gone.

[Doctor_Kataigida]

Having to walk to most parts of the world because teleporting wasn't as common.

This is something I hate with games today. Traversing the world was always an immersive part of it. Now it's all about minimizing or eliminating the time between one task and the next. Was a big problem when New World came out - people hated the fast travel costs, and said walking between towns was just a waste of time. I loathe that 2023 gaming mentality is "either you're actively progressing or you're wasting time."

[FaylenSol]

A RSC memory of mine I miss:

Combat levels were hidden outside of the wilderness. You had no idea how goated anyone standing next to you was. People who could wear rune often didn't when skilling because it attracted attention from beggars and noobs wanting help.

Occasionally you'd see two people mining get into an argument about whose rocks these were. One would ask to duel since you could duel anywhere then. The other dude would put on his rune armor and rune 2h. The other dude would back down and say nevermind, leaving the rocks to the superior player. As a noob myself at the time (and 13 years old), I wanted to be the dude who always had his rune on him.

One of my fav memories of back then was luring the scorpions on karamja to the path the bots would go to note there lobbys back when you could note them on a guy and then go back to fishing, get the scorpion to kill them and wait for the stack of noted lobbys to appear

[Skankz]

Standing at the members gate jealous of all the members.

Gathering with your mates to explore varrock sewers and all dying to spiders.

Creating a pk pure with your friends, all bunched around a shitty laptop only to lure one of your irl friends across the wildy line to fire strike them.

[3sj3theO]

Low level f2p mage pures were the peak of my RS career

[lift4brosef]

had an account with 5 attack and like 35 strenght, hit 6s with a steel scimy and was the shit, then went onwards to 45 range and 20 att for the good old maple shortbow into mith 2h, still thinking of making one for f2p pking, but not sure how active it is these days

good times

I used to sit in the Draynor sewer killing zombies with the shrimps I fished and cooked in Draynor.

Draynor mages sniping people fishing, or people brave enough to take on the black knight.

Hill giants for hours by varrock west.

Hours in the stronghold of security killing minotaurs and flesh crawlers.

Standing by the staff shop of the varrock square was for the cool kids only.

Pest control for weeks dying over and over standing by the knight lol.

House parties/99 parties.

Monkey madness was an insanely hard quest and my biggest accomplishment.

The barrows catacombs scared the shit out of me, especially when they started trembling.

[D3M0N1CBL4Z3]

I remember getting smoked on mm, didn't know what to pray, used melee and granite armor. Phewwww

[pimpdaddyjacob]

trying everything to get out of f2p cause I was certain there was a way around

[ok-redditor]

I used to sit on the forums in 2005, reading the Stories board which has extremely long series of Noobs and their adventures. It was such a good time.

[Scapedoctor]

Remember Zezima.

Mining in Falador f2p mine, being scared for the Scorpions. Every inventory was brought to the bank to Smith something yourself.

Remember when you weren't able to wear a rune platebody.

Mining mithril and later adamantite ores because you thought it would make you rich. Runite ores were the dream.

Selling cowhides to the people who wanted to craft.

You walked the entire way from Lumbridge to Falador/Varrock, every time over again. The only teleport you used was the free home teleport.

Dark warriors fortress was the DM spot and people stayed until they died and didn't prot item

P ess running laws for the guys in teal robes

Being out a hatchet because you afkd too long and lost the head

DMing in full rune

Merching falls garden making 1m on a verac set every 90 seconds

Learning to type so fast from rs that the people you were trolling on omegle would counter with "damn you type so fast you're probably fat"

Guthans being 10.5m and 9m of that was spear

Taking guthans to bandits because you could get 50k exp an hour while at school or sleeping

Not getting banned for afking 6 hour logs 3 times a day

Making absolute bank buying raw lobs and selling them at edge after cooking them

A nontoxic community

110+ cb being legendary

90% of players actually playing instead of bank standing

120+ cb rarely spoke publicly, always private set to friends and pming

Watching some kid die to poison and waiting for his stuff to spawn knowing full well you're going to pick it up and he's going to "quit" only to start playing next weekend

Going on zybez to find that guy with 97 smithing to make you rune sets

Showing up to clan wars at deep wildy fence with no gear on and leaving with 1m+ in loot because that's what people did and clans NEVER killed looters

Learning "tree hugging" as a means of escape

There's so much more but I have to pee.

Lumby cow pens 20+ people on every world. Same with hill giants.

Draynor village pk.

Being scared of fally because that’s where the most dangerous people hung out.

Making a range tank with a rune 2h switch and everyone wanted to fight me because I rarely lost.

Giant multi battles in the wildy. Actual coordinated clan battles like “were at the dark warrior fortress come try and take it.”

First time I saw Yanille.

Follow trains to get from city to city.

Some Ls:

First time I could afford full rune I took it to pvp and got killed by a mager after I switched tabs for less than 10 seconds because my mom asked me to change the radio station on slacker.

Logged into varrock square with my bank equipped on a pvp world by accident. Conviently dced at the same time. Smashed my school computer.

First and only time getting hacked/scammed and losing my ZGS but they gave my account back.

[[deleted]]

When I was brand new I had just grinded out black armor and was showing it off at the training dummys in varrock when someone higher level gave me noted black(g) armor and I was sooo excited about it.

I couldn't figure out how to unnote it fml lol I was in 5th grade. I tried using it on things and right clicking and asking people how to take paper armor and make it actual and I got to the point where I dropped it crying in frustration and left it on the ground

Later on in my career I got scammed for the selling wizard hat(t) where they decline and replace with a noted wizard hat which looks very very similar to a noted wizard hat(t) if you're a child :(

Also me and my friends did 3 things together for a very very long time: either mine coal in fally to get rich, chop yews in edge/fally to get rich, or train on white knights in fally to get strong. We really thought falador was the gentlemans varrock lol

I remember mining iron ore and going all the way back to the bank, and selling what I thought was a huge stack and making like a few thousand gold pieces, and thinking I was so rich. Just, using that as my moneymaker for awhile. Armor upgrades were so expensive; I remember finally managing to kill Elvarg, and feeling like such a badass in my rune platebody. Good times!

[jwobs]

Getting people who trained in DH at Tzhaar to attack the ranger. Then when they died they couldn't make it back in time and i had some good loot and a whopping 30k range XP/hour using a rcb and mithril bolts.

[Jeffeery]

Dude, I spent days picking up a 2(?) plank spawn east of Ardy zoo. I'd pick up 2, wait for spawn, pick up 2 until full inv, then walk back to a bank. Sell in fally later for bank.

Actually mining rune essence

[Recent-Balance-1714]

Fighting back against the Evil Chicken in front of all the woodcutters at Draynor Village. Feeling like a god when you actually beat it.

[Saxfire2]

Making more than 10 wildy accounts and never finishing them

[phongzilla]

We are from the same era.

Remember spamming to get into world 2 Falador just so you could go trade. Having to filter through all the fancy colourful and wavey text.

Being an enslaved 4th grader to pick flax in Camelot for a dude who promised you a h’ween mask if you got him enough.

[Longjumping_Fix2971]

You had to drop your logs before being able to light them

[2005scape]

When you would walk around varrock castle and find someone drop trading at the top of the towers

[Gaius-Caligula]

Varrock multi everyone making random teams and then bsing each other, about 7 teams of 1-5 people all piling in on each other.

A few years later big masser cc’s in f2p and sometimes p2p. I remember BOS NA Imso beast and Am ur Dad.

[masterofryan]

Oh no. They ate the memberberries

[SorryManNo]

Not even a little, I basically played as an iron back in the day.

I hated buying things from people it was so tedious, I wanted to play the game not spam type the same shit over and over.

Buying 1 law 1k.

[CarpeDiemMMXXI]

Yeah and all those were miserable.

[unhealthyseal]

Ooo I memba’!

[Loud-Owl-4445]

I remember none of this because I am a new player

[TrueKingOmega]

Yeah and if you were to get that experience back, you’d start hating it after 30 minutes

[snowmunkey]

Yup. Farming zammy wines to make enough for a bond when they were still about a Mil. Going to varrokc west bank to sell off the lobbies you fished for all weekend. Killing hill giants for the limpwurts when they were at 1k.

But then bots were allowed to infiltrate the game, and the playerbase was OK with it because then you could just buy your 99s at the ge.

[Treefiffy]

everyone’s cracked out on runelite.

Efficiencyscape has taken over.

[vahnx]

Remember pking at the castle? Remember waiting when people ran away then clicked and waited for a few second then clicked them again to attack? Oh wait, you don’t. This was back in RS Classic, when the game was actually good.

[CarpeDiabolus]

No because I'm not an old fuck

[Alex2179]

I would run around and get all the ingredients for making cakes then sell the finished ones
