When I started in June 2001, 6 months after it came out, There were rsc graphics. Best armour was addy, Al karhid had just come out, fishing had just come out. You could choose to be a pker or non pker and could only switch 3 times. There were people killing each other everywhere. If you had mith armour or above you were considered high lvled cuz you couldn't see what level people were unless you were a pker. (I might be wrong there with the pker part). There was server status instead of highscores where you could see who was the best on each server. (there were 2 servers btw. There were old runescape forums that got shut down when jagex changed thier site. Wilderness was put in after they took away the old pking system because people were complaining. Once you could actually see people's lvls (when p2p came out) Seeing a level 70 was about equivelent to a 100 today, 80 was about equivelent to seeing a 110 today, 90+ was just godly. Thats probably all you need to know.
