Although a few days late, I thought it would be apt to have a quick look back over some of the events and updates of 2005. These are my own opinions - so you're free to disagree...

crumble and charge perhaps not worth mentioning?

because when i think about how cook-x has impacted the runescape community i find it amusing how we used to cook. as if i could tell people oh i cooked this and that 1 at a time back in the day. where charge was the opposite, :( damn that would have been sweet to charge.

I think that you should have mentioned the holiday updates like the rubber chicken... I had so much fun whacking people and getting "egged"

The part about the first Abyssal Whips being 150M worth seems inaccurate. I remember the first ones going for 50-55M.

It was a good read and I agreed with a lot of the choices. Nicely done:)

i remember whips going for 150mil lol it was so insane, nice job

no ;\

viral sabre bought the first one from fir3g0d for 60m in items on these forums and then made a post about it in general p2p. im sure you could look those posts up up with the search button unless tip has auto pruning.

edit: no you cant, that must have been in march and the oldest posts on these forums are from june.

Well, Fir3g0d was the one who pretty much 'established' the price because he sold the first for around 55M if I remember correctly.

It could not have fluctuated that much. People can always POST, "Selling Santa Hat 38M" but it doesn't really make it true.

me getting banned :P me getting 90 magic, me pking a couple whips :P its all good for me. dont worry guys ill be 110 combat within 2 months. mark my words :P

Wow i thought the first whip sold for 50m... 150m, bet that guy feels like a jerk who bought it. lol

The Dragon Scimitar special was changed due to players still being able to run by using the CNTL key and clicking on the mini-map. As this could not be fixed without releasing a new Java engine, Mod Paul changed the special to removing prayer protect which many liked in the minigames.

The crumble undead was changed because it was a combat spell that gave splash and damage xp. All combat spells are structured so that they give half level to cast +5 to xp as splash experience. Then you get 2 xp per damage. The crumble undead did not do this. It mattered little while it was a click per cast. With auto-cast, Jagex soon changed it. What really brought on change were guides suggesting using crumble undead (or charge) to rapidly increase magic.

Waterbirth islands introduced level 40 armor that did not have defense prerequisite (you only needed to have completed a quest). Useful for low defense pures. With the Daggonoth update, collecting the parts to make this armor was exponentially increased in ease.

Easter, Halloween and Christmas saw a Holiday Special Event that lasted over two weeks. Christmas brought about an extensive event with multiple steps to collect all items.

Was a massive year, even though i expirienced only little over half of it on RS.

WOW! you'd think Runescape was still in beta! Jagex was constantly changing things they did more for biz concerns then they did player concerns, I know they have to make money too but :P I miss the old days of Runescape where they focused more on playabilty and not on mass content like they do now. All of this is why i'm thinking about canceling my membership It's feels like you have to spend alot (to much IMHO) of time to get anywhere I switched to members thinking the game would be less time consuming but I was wrong. P.S No disrespect to high lvl. players I know you worked hard to get your skills but when a game becomes to monotonus (forgive me if I misspelled) you can't expect many players to stick around long.

Thank God the whip went down. Now for me to go buy one...

After reading I can't do anything else than praise Jagex. We had a very great year in RuneScape! Look at all those great updates!

i agree.. rs would be so boring with out the variety that came out of slayer, barrows, rcing, and others.. thnx jagex

aah, what a great year it was, too bad MEP2 wasn't covered in this article :roll:

nice guide, brings back some good memories. Looking back, i can see that 2005 was good year for updates, with new skills, armour, weapons and monsters. 8)

where you have noted that the god capes give +10 to magic def i think it is also neccessary to note they only give +3 to melee defence

It's just too bad that none of these update effected F2P players. I think I played more on my brothers member account than my own. But some of these upcoming updates like the mage training arena may change my membership statis. But overall, great update for the members, and I cannot wait for the dragon woodcutting axe to go down in price, maybe like 200k, thenI might buy one.

Thx Jagex!!!

P.S. I hate super noobs. In case you do not know what those are, they are the players that only work on the non combat skills. For example, a combat level 3 mining in the mining guild, or a level 3 taking all of my yew logs. Jeese, get a life.

Maybe you should get a life and stop being so moronic? The yew logs aren't YOURS unless they were in your inventory. So unless you're saying people with level 3 accounts hack you, your claims are totally flawless. I don't see what's wrong with level 3's having good skills (unless they're auto-ing). Really, why hate them just because they're better than you in certain aspects?

An other update not metioned were the tiaras, that made possible runecrafting 28 ess per time.

I hear alo of people complain about the updates made in 2005, I for one thought there were alot of great updates there, my favourite ones are Barrows and Slayer for sure :)
