omg. i started WAAAY back when. there was o wilderness, you chose when you started the game, and up to 2 times for as long as you owned the account, if you were PK or non-PK. there were no certs, not even the nilesand giles ppl. mith, when it cam out kicked all. it was sooo sought after. (addy made everyone go INSANE) rune, there was no stopping the prices from going up. if you could get a full set of rune, you were the richest person in the world. drops: p-hats, i remember. what a day. easter eggs were all the rage once upon a time. masks, everyone had, but still, they went up in price. santas went for 10k that night, and then skyrocketed. bunnyears were fun! drop partys, when the rich people first became philanthropists... and you had to get invited to go to a "real" drop party, and then the telegrab noobs would spoil everything. there was no tutorial island, you just wandered from lummy, and boy, did i wander. and then i got stuck in fally begging for a shield for like 3 weeks, sitting in that kite shop. :lol: no runecrafting - the only runes to be had were the mere basics... no laws, no chaos, just mind, body, fire, water, air, earth. and when they came out with nats and chaos and lawss, the market just exploded. everyone spent their entire lives at the darkwizards around the delrith stonehenge, racking up so much money from the richies world-jumping for people to buy runes from. when there was a reason besides delrith to use silverlight-- you always brought a rune baxe AND silverlight with you to lessers on karamja. you hit the demon once with silverlight, then immediately switch to you baxe. this went for EVERYONE, including the highest levels. when there was no "quest" requirements to wear anything: you own it, you wear it. dragon slayer did away with that. when people did quests because they wanted to, not because they had to for some item or rather. when falador was THE most west you could go. when black robes came out-- EVERYONE had to own like 10 sets. when there was no mage for changing your appearance for 5k. when everyone in the entire runescape went nuts over prayer: everyones setup was a r2h, a rune full, and tan priest robes. when black was kick-arse. when there was never a hint of rumor of a members runescape, it was all free, and carefree as well. then, rumors started spreading. my favorite? a runescape gameboy advance game :wink: when ranging, you could steal anyones kill. anyones. when noone cared about "better graphics"-- its about the love of the game. and jagex just let theyre tried and true graphics shine proudly.
