Astaroth51

Made my first account right after the scythe drop. I was mining in east Varrock, and got killed by the mugger sitting there. Calling "Help" got a bunch of "Lol"s from everyone around me. I ended up creating Astaroth51 because I couldn't figure out how to get another bronze pickaxe. I liked the look and feel of early RS2. Nowadays, it's too flashy for my tastes. Runescape has always been the ghetto cousin of big-budget MMOs, and it loses part of its charm when it tries to go up against the big boys. What I didn't like was the real world trading and the hundreds of bots that came with it. I remember when pure essence came out because it was around 30 each thanks to the bots. The bots then switched to yews and flax. I knew something was really wrong when I logged into a free world to find a dozen identically dressed people with gibberish names jerkily running from tree to tree. So on the one hand, there's a lot of nostalgia for things that happened back then. On the other hand, who remembers the spam from people trying to scam your password, the dozens of people who would initiate a trade, offering 1337K for something stupid, and then switch it to 13374 coins? "Trimming full rune!" Yeah, I'll take the current Runescape, thanks.

I have 99 agility and 83 runecrafting. Runecrafting is just ridiculous. At least I could read a book while doing Agility; there's enough downtime while doing obstacles that it wasn't that bad. Runecrafting requires constant attention. Not fun. I'm currently thinking about going for 99 Firemaking, because it's one of the few skills that isn't hampered by being F2P. I also want some trim on my Agility cape. :)

Hello, used to be Omegaham, but that account seems to have gone the way of the dodo. Still Astaroth51, been playing for about 6 years on and off.
