Yer I still look on the forums pretty much every day just very rarely post as my post count shows. Before we had to resign up for tip it accounts I had a few more posts though so you probably saw me on here a bit more back then.
OT i think the first player to 1k total was Tiwi and he was pretty famous back in the day.

[/hide]i think in 2001 it was mysticsmagic & LIGHTNING in the first half of the year than bluerose13x from mid-2001 to late 2002 where it became zonghui for being first to 99 hp and 92 prayer (prayer level needed for max combat level 123) tied with Ladykilljoy for being 2nd to 99 hp but a far more open personality towards the public. than came tks in 2003 and after that zezima took the cake.but thats just my opinion :P
on a sidenote i thought i'd post some of the most infamous characters over the same time period just for fun.
in start of game it would have to be X_scorpion_X for scamming people and openly admitting to it, as at the time there were little to no regulations. followed by robin_hood2 among the higher level society for creating massive drama including backstabbing clan member, clashing with good friend and co-leader of wanderers; Lightning, and creating a new, enemy clan of the wanderers.
Than came Who_Da_Best (WDB) still in 2001 up and about 2003, reknowned for trashtalking , macroing and being an allround bad guy as well as being in the top 5 of fighters where he got up to 90 hitpoints before being banned, unbanned in 2003 and as far as i know banned again.
Than there was a duping gang that most, including myself, never found out who was in it. this was before xx___jut___xx (or however its spelled). back than rollbacks were common, rollbacks could be anywhere from a day to a minute. the trick was to trade your item just before rollback occured to someone else, and according to rumours each player would hold the item when logging back in, my theory is that they spent the whole day trading back and forth. it caused much commotion and the bug was fixed. this went on between 2001 and 2002.
than came Husla still in 2001-2002, a macroer and character stealer. rumors had it that he had stolen numerous high level chars.
than came XX_Jut_XX (or however its spelled) with the massive pink party hat dupe, resulting in the large imbalance between pink vs the other colours now.
I cant think of any more right now, but these few were the talk of the forums back than, about just as much as the famous people :P
I think to go along with some of what Fook said with people like robin hood2 there was also zar family2 who was probably the best known pker at the time around 2002 along with X shadow X who was, i think the first pure with 99 strength and there was angel2002/i wicked i who pretty well known. there was also p o k e y who got high level very fast and was feared pker i think he might have even been who da best and got p o k e y when wdb was banned not sure but i know p o k e y did have a well known main that was banned. Finally to add someone who people might not think of around 2002-2003 i would say fckedyomomm was pretty famous because of being at pirates pretty much 24 hours a day with the help of sharing and got very high in the hp ranks very fast. I know most people wont know any of the people ive mentioned but they were all genuinely very 'famous' at the time.

2001-2004: Bluerose13x, Lightning, L6vi, Gearshifter... just to name a few
Early RS2: Lilyuffie88 and The Old Nite, etc...
From 2005 onwards: Zezima
Now: Gertjaars, Kingduffy and others on the first page of the hiscores
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention L6vi at all, I'd have to add to the earlier list people like zonghui muhahaha ladykilljoy and definitely Tks. Since rs2 pretty much just zezima as he was pretty well known even back early in rsc because of his smithing and then obviously just started dominating the highscores

The Underground Pass article talks about Klank's gauntlets being important for pures because they had the disadvantage of not being able to wear a Rune Plate but really it just evened up the playing field. This is because noone had been using Rune Plates for almost a year anyway after the introduction of gauntlets from the Family Crest quest which pures couldn't get because of a high magic requirement for this quest also. Klank's gauntlets have exactly the same stats as gauntlets just without the 'special' abilities as far as I remember, so really they were important for pures so they didn't have a disadvantage on their weapon stats more than anything to do with Rune Plates because as I said noone really used them anyway.
I thought it was a good read though and it took me back to when I did the quest. Undoubtedly it was an extremely frustrating quest however the author seems to just want quests that he can do easily with the help of a quide which isn't really the point of them and doesn't like the fact that the quest has variables that cant be accounted for by a guide.
In regard to The Jagex Tease, on the Tip.it homepage it is described as "an article by Stormveritas on Jagex's new structure on announcing updates" yet it seems that the author doesnt actually understand the new structure at all as others have already explained.

Anyone remember when the hiscores updated and next to your rank there was a + or - and a number indicating whether you had moved up or down the hiscores and by how many?
Also to blood argon i joined the forum 2 years before you and infact much before that because we had to resign up a few years ago and i only have 8 posts, darkhazzard joined a year before you, some people join just to read and rarely post.

What about when you remember training at black knight castle on guards wearing bronze med and iron chain and it was awesome xp, around 6-8k hp xp an hour.
Or when you were smelting bars the bar you were smelting appeared above your head in a circle, and even when you didnt have the level, if you tried to smelt rune a rune bar would appear above your head, meaning you would have lots of people gather around you in awe.
Also I sold a red and white party hat back in the day for about 50k each. Then when i wanted a d med i sold mask set for around 200k so i would have enough to buy for around 2.1m and 100 shark :(

Everyone check out chapel contruction, the prayer experience from alters owns 'Ectoing'.
With the Guilded Alter you can get 350% the xp of the bone u offer to the alter.
Is ectoing not 400% of normal bone experience?

I started around december 2001. I played with a few rl friends there were 5 of us, two of them were pretty good back in the day, nuc134r and moonfruit, anyone remember them? Moonfruit pked a r2h when they were worth about 3 mill which was a lot back then.

It should definetly be harder, more like it was in rsc and if anyone thinks it was easier back then they are kidding themselves. Getting 6-8k hp an hour at the guards at black knights fortress was amazing.

I use Mozilla as my browser but have the downloadable client for rs, not a dodgy one just the one off runescape.com. I have never experienced any problems. I would try that. Hope that helps.

What about L6vi he was an oldschool legend of this game, but then again you cant take away from what Tiwi did in his time i believe he was the first to make it to 1k skill total. And you cant say that Bluerose is better than Zezima because she played right from the start and got 99 smithing before anyone else, as zezima was one of the first couple of 99 smiths and also played early on in the game. There is no reason for people to take away from what Zezima has done he's been playing longer than most and even though n0valyfe did it quicker and it was an amazing acheivement, the fact is Zezima did it first and thats all that matters.
What Mosters To Block For Slayer?

I block Steel and iron drags warped terrorbirds and aquanites.
Definitely dont block bloodvelds they are the best xp you can get if you cannon mutated ones even meleeing the normal ones is good, a bonus with mutated ones is that they drop gold charms commonly rather than green but they are expensive with cannonballs and you have to pray also. Similarly Kalphites shouldnt be blocked because they are so easy if you cannon them.
