I'm pretty sure that I started in late 2004, I found RuneScape on Miniclip. :thumbsup: My first account was badphoeybad with 1 o. I remember not knowing how to train other combat skills other than attack. This is were I met my first friend. Although our friend ship didn't last long.. He was still the first, we played together for awhile, then one day he never logged back on... Anways, I was killing goblins by Lumbridge castle, and a he walked up and I asked him how to train strength and defense. He quickly told me and I think I got to around 5 attack, 4 strength, and 1 defense. I thought I was getting pretty strong, so I attempted to kill the level 15 unicorn that wonders around Lumbridge... I was wrong about the strong part. Of course I died, lost my bronze sword and wooden shield, and thought.. what the heck, I'll just restart and get a brand new shield and sword. This gave birth to my 2nd account, badphooeybad with 2 o's. : Upon creating this account, I had a better knowledge of things to do in RuneScape and started raising combat, doing quests, and skilling. The 2nd disaster of my RuneScape career came around this time. I managed to gather up a full set of steel armor, and was very proud of it. I still never really roamed from Lumbridge at this point, and a new player wondered over to me asking where the wizards tower was, so me being a nice person led him to it. I really don't remember how but I ended up dieing to a wizard and losing my set of steel. This might have been the first time I cried over RuneScape..(haha...) This time I didn't make a new account though, and continued on my way to raising my total. My next memory was moving up through the armor sets. I remember getting a full set of mithril, and then wanting to move up to adamant. I had never seen much adamant out, so I thought it was an expensive armor. I came upon a deal in Falador West bank. A player by the name of Psychogambit offered to sell me an adamant kite for the price of 100 big bones. Of course I agreed not knowing the price of the kite or the price of big bones. Me not knowing where they were found, he kindly offered me the way probably laughing the whole time about how he was selling me a kite worth probably 6k for a total of 100 big bones which added up to about 30k at the time. After getting my 100 big bones from the Hill Giants, he sold me the adamant shield, and I guess I wanted to be friends with him after he ripped me off because he was my 2nd RuneScape friend. With Psychogambit showing me a new source of income coming from big bones, I managed make some more money and being able to buy a full set of adamant. Going from shop to shop, ( I didn't think of buying it from other players at the time ), I bought a full set of adamant. Still hitting the big bones hard, I made enough money to buy full rune. With me acquiring full rune, I moved on to bigger and better things, rares. My first big step towards a rare was in world 1 at Varrock West, someone mistakenly bought a mere 60 big bones for 200k! Me of course still being quite nooby, ran out of the bank with the money and got lost in the crowed. :oops: With that sale I think i doubled my net worth from 200k to 400k. With this new amount of money I made my way to the back of the bank and joined the richboys of RuneScape. I saw santa hats going for 500k a piece, and with only 400k, I knew I had to hit the hill giants up again. I spent the whole next day killing giants and gathering bones for enough money to buy a santa hat. Little did I know, rares were rising at a pretty fast pace. When I managed to get 500k, they were already 600k! I was alittle disappointed but went back to hill giants and made 100k more. This time I had enough for my Santa Hat. I'm pretty sure by this point it was nearing late 2006 meaning I've played for around 2 years. I never really had any trouble with scammers... up until this day. A player with the name of Jagex(random numbers here) walked up to me and told me to follow him. Me thinking I was in trouble or something of course followed. He continued to tell me that he worked for Jagex and my "Account" had a virus on it that could endanger all of RuneScape. ( Ya... I know... :wall: ) At first I questioned him, then he came up with an excuse about going to the site and checking his identification. That sounded like to much trouble for me and I said ok, so I gave him my password and logged out so he could "fix" the virus. That being said I lost my santa hat... The story after all that isn't very exciting, I managed to get another santa hat, and finally buy members at around level 100. This is when the last trouble on this account happened. After buying members for a month, I of course wanted more but my mom wouldn't let me, so I found an alternate course of action... I'm not proud of it but it happened, I started buying membership for 500k a month. This is what led to the end of badphooeybad. It ended up getting banned for RWT, and I started a brand new account named Baracudda006 from scratch. I slowely leveled this new account up through these last two years and I still play on it now with a combat level of 125 and a total of 1805. :) Sorry if some of you will hate my for RWTing but I really wanted that membership. :| I swear I haven't broke any rules since. :lol: Whew.... that was the most I think I've ever wrote on Tip.it in the 3 years I've been here... :roll: I hope someone actually reads it. -.-
