Looking back, for 5 dollars a month and a game that ran on your damn browser...Runescape offered a whole fucking lot.

I mean off the top of my head by the time I quit they had a desert, a swamp, an elf forest, extensive mines, plaguelands, a vampire colony, a monkey island, a volcano city, troll mountains, an underwater city, viking lands, and a fucking fairy dimension ...and then some.

While everyone was busy with gathering gold and experience, I was chatting with girls on Runescape. I had one serious "girlfriend" and we got married by trading gold rings :3

Her name was Amygirl or something like that. Then she thought I "cheated" and left me. If you're out there Amygirl, fuck you!

DonkeyManda · 20 days

Signing up for this game at a friends house, and I couldn't think of a name, so I just chose a random animal, which was a donkey, and threw man on the end. Naturally, Donkey_Man was taken, so I just told my friend to mash the keyboard, he happened to hit 'da', and thus, I was born... That was probably about 8 years ago now, christ, for an 18 year old I have never felt so old...

It's not so much Old Runescape that I miss. It's getting on and everything is new to me and I get completely lost and end up getting killed by the jail guards in draynor manor. Current prices dont bother me to much because I was lucky enough to make a decent amount before the runescape economy became merch/botscape.

I learned a lot about doing work to save up and then buy things. I proceeded to buy the gold trimmed black armor for the lolz. Good times.

funyordietryin · 21 days

I was banned from Runescape a long time ago...... It all started when my brother showed me his pure, it was amazing to watch him kill people in 2 attacks with these mysterious weapons called "Dragon Claws". I vowed that from that day forward I would do anything to obtain those powerful weapons. So from that day I started with my planning, how I would acquire them and how I would set about funding my crusade.

I took the only job I knew at the time, picking flax, as my way to become rich and powerful. Everyday from 3:30pm-10:00pm I would pick flax on my lowly level 3 member whom I had named Drag Clawz FTW. After spending one whole day of picking flax the next afternoon I took to spinning that flax into bowstring which would increase my profits by 200gp! Then it dawned on me....I was only making a meager 600k a day, which would mean it would take me nearly 2 months to get my planned 44m.

I was devastated, I could not wait that long to kill people! My blood lust was insatiable after seeing my brothers godly prowess with the claws. I watched him again and again fell opponents one after another, whenever his special power was at 100% a kill was sure to follow. I searched the forums and the world of Runescape for quicker ways to make money, but all I could find were people telling me to "Level up noob! theres no way a level 3 can get drag clawz anyway LULULULUL." I was heartbroken, all my attempts at obtaining these magnificent claws were but null. It was the third day of searching for a better alternative to funding my quest when I stumbled upon something in a google search.....There in front of my very eyes was the answer to my quest! for a mere $10 I could obtain a bot that would pick flax, toads or anything I could think of for me while I would not have to do anything but reap the profits! I begged my parents for this one gift for me and eventually they gave in!

I now had an ends to my problems, with this bot I would make a new account and simply train it to be the best pker the world of runescape had ever known! The following afternoon as I scurried off the bus and into my abode I quickly fired up my computer and set my bot and new character named "Imnotabotomg" to picking flax, toads and then spinning the flax into motion. While on another window I trained religiously on my pure. Day in and day out I trained him to a beaten shell of a pixeled man. I spent hours upon hours at the pest control beating wave after wave after wave of mindless bugs trying to kill our beloved priest. For my hard work and many days of tribulation I was rewarded with countless points that I spent to get my nooby strength from a meager 30 all the way to NINETY!!. There before my very eyes was the god I had imagined, his combat was a lowly 59 but that hid his true and immortal power of a strength level of 90 with only 60 hp and 60 attack. All the while I had been training my mindless slave had netted me over 60 million gold worth of bowstring and toads. I spent a mere 10 minutes selling them and drooling over my new found gold pile.

That very same day I bought my dragon claws for 40m, a fury for 15m and traded them over to my god of a pure. Shaking with anticipation and anxiety I equppied them and immediately my heart skipped a beat. Weeks of painful training and plotting had finally come to fruition. I quickly geared up and traveled to the scum filled edgeville and scouted for my target from the hillside. There a few yards away was my first kill, he was a unexpecting ranger from the west, his eyes were full of adventure and his bow was no joke. I watched in amazement as this unknowing prey destroyed people with his dark bow of power. Hurriedly I potted up and used the trick my brother had shown me, while dancing a jig and scouting thru a telescope my god of a pure teleported to his location and struck with the ferocity of a dragon truly gone mad!

All the poor sap could manage to say was "WTF" when he was felled before my claws. I quickly looted his dark bow and his fury and I ran to safety. Finally! my dream had come true! I was now the beast of the wilderness and the low scum of edgeville feared my name! After a few hours of killing unsuspecting players I finally logged off for the night. Giddy with joy, the next afternoon I sprinted off the bus and ran to my room to again be a god amongst men for another 6 hours.

I couldn't log in.......I tried and tried and tried but it kept saying my account was suspended and I needed to check my inbox for further information, I was shocked! What had I done? Clearly I hadn't broken any rules on my god!? But there in my inbox was the message that shattered my childhood, for botting and transferring the funds to my pure, I had unknowingly broken a rule and my pure was permanently banned forever.....

Fuck you jagex for ruining my hard work!

Runescape story time:

Back when we were all extremely into this, and by that i mean last weekend, we all convinced a friend that there was a store deeeep within the wilderness. But it was legit, you could buy things for super cheap and sell things for insane amounts. So naturally he should bring all of his very valuable items. After school one kid led him there. Everyone jumps him. Loots all of his shit. He quits runescape forever. I'm sorry Rob.

Koalburne · 21 days

Ahh, I remember my first Million gp and a set of rune armor: I was level 3, I did not know what the hell I was doing....I walked right into the wilderness where some level 65 idiot was fighting a dragon, when all of a sudden...skeletons. he died, I looted him, Then I sold the armor....like a idiot

JustAnotherSimian · 20 days

"Oh yeah man I'll show you this awesome place to loot, you have to go a little bit into the wildy, but it is worth it and I'll have your back", 2 minutes in and I kill them and take their items.

Or the 'I'm with jagex, we have to put a white box on your account to monitor your language use. We got complaints that You've been swearing too much. " If they buy into it, you tell them they need to give their password so you can install it. Many laughs were had.

Man I was such a little bastard. Good times with this game. Good times.

When I was a kid, my older brother and I got into a fight over an Adam breastplate, and my parents cancelled all of our memberships (there were four of us playing) and we were never allowed on again.

Also, when I was about 10, I was playing with my older brother over my shoulder, and this random guy (he had "fire" in his name, I remember that) came up and asked me to be his girlfriend. Aforementioned elder brother leapt in and typed "yes" before I could do anything and that kids is how I met your father.

Actually I ran away and never saw him again.

JollyOldBogan · 20 days

God damn, I haven't played this in years. So much memory.

I remember the first time I ever logged on when I was 11, and the first thing I read was "Selling pot 20gp". I thought he was selling marijuana online, so I got scared and quit. Didn't go back for 8 months.

My first drop party was the best. Level 48, one guy had about 60 people in a single room. Dropped 483k, Saradomin and Zara full sets, notes of rune essence of about 200k, a bulk load of other things too. I picked up the money and full sets. I couldn't believe myself, I felt like I was practically King of Runescape then.

I remember my first wilderness outing on a PK special character I made with some friends. One of us was Archery, another Mage, one was Strength and I was Defense. (Sounds silly, but I was level 19 in full Rune, could take hits like a motherfucker.) Then we got mobbed by a PK guild of about 20.

One of my last wilderness (or "wildy runs") expeditions saw me get a blue phat and 3 santas. Some guy who thought he was cool out in level 40 wilderness (where anybody can attack any level) walked past me. I scimmied that bitch good. Begged me for three weeks to give his stuff back, ended up caving in and giving him back a santa.

I was never a member. Such a shame, I wanted to but my mum was persistent in saying "ITS JUST A SCAM TO GET MY MONEY IM NOT LETTING YOU USE MY CREDIT CARD". Completely devastated as a 13 year old.

God damn, the memories.

I stopped playing this game around the time they introduced the regulated trade thing, where you had to start making trades of similar value and such. "the grand exchange"?

As far as memories go... One of my original accounts got stolen because I was an idiot. However, I tried to recover it wayyy later and succeeded. Free level 70.

Tried to make a pizza company. Couldn't find employees willing to grab the respawning cheese and tomatoes for next to no pay.

That login screen was also the thing I swapped back to when viewing porn ... And I got caught that one time with it.

I occasionally have the urge to pop back in and check things out. Sadly, I gave away my two good accounts to my friends cousin. He immediately ruined my pure Mage by stabbing some cows, and dropped all of my prized member items.

Go say hi to T Mantag2 for me.

Perry558 · 20 days

When i first started playing this game, i made a friend with a girl named Emilyk. We walked around Lumbridge together, and she taught me how to make bread. At the end of the afternoon we added eachother to our friend lists and went or separate ways. I played runescape on and off for a few years after that day. I never saw her online again.
