This video covers the most of it.

I agree. RS3 is such a mismash of graphical styles in addition to the pay to win. I mean, the latest big boss is Zamorak himself. It looks AMAZING https://runescape.wiki/w/Zamorak,_Lord_of_Chaos#Gallery But the token drops, which are lvl 95 melee armor, look horrible and untextured. Because of the way they apply textures.. https://runescape.wiki/w/Zamorak,_Lord_of_Chaos#Signature_drops

Regardless, if OSRS stayed as it was in 2007, without GWD, without any kind of QOL, without the GE, it would had been shut down. If you want to play an absolute static server, private servers exist.

If OSRS was released and stayed the same with no updates, it would had died. If you look at the player graphs, if GWD was never added to oldschool, it would had died by the end of 2013.

TSG! Guess you'll need to start over a new account 😛 Is Axe Man Jack still in the clan? Don't think he has played for a long time. Great memories of TSG. First real clan I joined 🙂

Congrats

I did self-scouted stars in pvp worlds. Took a little over a month (8 hour days 5 days a week) from 85 or so. 99.9% AFK and just under 30k/hr. I'd do it again. But mine might be better now that there is a dragon pick in the rewards

Such as most internet forums from the web 2.0 era

No, I feel more like a boomer on here than not. Truth be told I never realized you were on TIF. Though I never actually looked at any forum other than general in my time here. How are you mining? Stars are super afk at ~27k/hr if you do them on a pvp world and no more than 1 person joins you. I hear the new ess thing is also good xp for being so AFK too. Me, I'm closing on 2277.. only a few more months

Thanks for cleaning house

Congrats DEO

I remember you, Blaze. Part of life is being able to look back on yourself and seeing how cringe it was. Everyone was cringe at one point in their lives. I wish you well, if you ever see this. Cheers

The biggest shame of all isn't the fact that people have moved on from internet forums, it is that almost all of the images posted to internet forums such as this are lost to the ages. Sure, the video I made of me doing barrows in 2005, that I recorded with Unregistered Hypercam2 that I uploaded to rapidshare.de is gone, but the memories that I have with it will remain with me.. The same can't be said for memories that aren't with me, but were posted here... all the history of this game, of the people that played it, is fleeting, and only salvaged by the fact that this forum remains online. Does anyone remember the 'RSDemon Helper' program that used to be hosted on runescape community? It was its own little wiki packed into an installer with calculators, maps, guides, and what have you.. something I just wanted to share in case any of you old fogies like myself happen to remember it. And for those who never return, or can't, godspeed. For those that do see this, I hope everyone is doing well.

I don't think anyone else here plays anymore. I moved to OSRS once it became strikingly obvious that RS3 was pushing FOMO and dozens and dozens of daily login incentives.

I highly doubt it. Not only this forum, but almost every other forum I had been a member of a decade ago is on death's door, with the exception of a few very niche and specific ones which don't have any social media presence otherwise times are a-changin

Wow this forum is for discussion now? Thanks Dr Frankenstein! The reason the community is so in favor of 'everyone who is banned for botting botted' is because of the ever popular 'jmod smackdowns' where someone pleads they didn't bot, but a mod later comes in and shows they botted or they RWTd and the poster never responds again. They are very memorable and funny, that is why they remain in the common memory longer than the rare false positives. On the other hand, there are a good number of people who post and instead of a jmod smackdown they get an 'oops' from them and they continue playing. But they are also very vocal about being banned in the first place. Someone like them, unlike you, aren't making a big scene and using community upvotes to get a mod to look into it. So sadly, and likely with many more others who are false positives likely never post about it and unless they intentionally check, are never made aware that their ban was quashed But yes, I've known a fair number of friends who were perm banned for botting or RWT who later had their ban quashed. In fact I think someone from TIF got perm for RWT'd (I think they were a pmod even!), when they didn't, only because their name was on the friends list of a RWTer they banned. Yes, jagex goes fire ready aim . But with their huge volume of accounts they need to go through, a 0.01% of false positives would indeed be a significant amount of real players

I love it. Thanks for sharing!

....wow. Got one for Oldschool?

I was a member of another forum, unrelated to RS, which tried to consolidate into just 2 or 3 main discussion forms. I guess it kind of helped, but it still is on its way out

I agree. Reddit absolutely replaced traditional forums, but not only for RS, but other games I followed. It is just how things go. I just hope that tipit stays up for years to come.. Even if it is a ghost town

Good luck

The only FC I'm aware of related to this site in particular is 'sc'. Only one or two people actually chat it in it though

The site was down for a couple of days. What happened?

I wish I was into this game when the community was tiny, before RS2.. but I didn't have a computer with internet way back then. I think RS was the first online thing I ever played after we got DSL in 2005
