Edited for clarity as the formatting was messed up during the forum upgrade.

Although RuneScape was launched on January 4, 2001, the news items only go back to July 10, 2002. I've been working on documenting all the older updates on the RuneScape Wiki. Here's what I have so far: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Update:Antique_update

Unfortunately, Jagex has blocked the runescape.com domain from the Wayback Machine, which means we can't use it to find the old news posts. Jagex.com is still accessible, but only some news posts are saved on there. I'm aware that Tip.It has also posted about game updates, but those were usually paraphrased. I'm looking for the original text as it appeared on the RuneScape website.

Updates I'm looking for include:

1. Varrock sewer and strength potiona (early February 2001)

2. Imp Catcher quest (mid-February 2001)

3. Asgarnia (April 6, 2001)

4. Karamja and Fishing skill (mid-June 2001)

5. Silver crafting

6. Skill menu update and introduction of quest-point system (Q2 2001)

7. Update to Magic system (new spells and runes, and merging of Good and Evil Magic skills) (Q2 2001)

8. A new interface that brings up a menu on right-clicking (shortly before Crafting update that made gems usable)

9. An update where Andrew used something along the lines of "if you know how to fix this, then plz let me know" while asking for help with Linux 🤣 (Q4 2001)

10. Andrew mentioning his birthday (December 3, 2001)

11. Fletching update (Q1 2002)

12. Thieving update (Q2 2002)

13. Possibly some others

 

If you have any of them saved on your computer, please post them here.

Thanks!

Archive.org hint: Runescape.org and .net were mirrors of the RS site back then, try that :) Still works and has old news items.

I've checked those domains on the Wayback Machine, but they don't have what I'm looking for. But thanks for the suggestion!

I remember two years ago these forums had a sticked thread about everything from 2001/2002 in the general section, it had lots of pictures and quotes from earlier news.
