What's the story behind your RS name?

Featured Replies

Well my RS name was very simply picked.

 

 

 

It is my first and only account and I was really excited about playing the game after my friends told me about it in School so I just typed in Why.

 

 

 

Then it came up with loads of number choices and I thought 2060 sounded better than the other choices like 161,397 (These numbers then were made up lol)

 

 

 

So that was it.... I was Why2060.

 

 

 

I hated the name at first but I've grown used to it :)

Feel Free to Pm me for anything

Before I made this account, I saw a thriller where someone sat behind his computer, and suddenly someone with a dagger stood behind him. The guy behind his pc didn't notice him, and got slaughtered (kind of XD).

 

 

 

When I was making this account, this was going throug my mind. First I wanted to take my usual nickname: Flamed. Taken or impossible. Next usual nickname: Flamed_Arrow. Taken or impossible. New nickname.. Hmm, I just saw a movie. I knew it was online, and I was thinking about other people playing the game while satting behind their computer. Of course I saw myself, evil as I am (NOT), standing behind them.

 

 

 

Behind them.. Behind You!

 

But.. It was taken :(. But, I saw, Behind You0-Behind You5 was available. I thought, if I have to have a number, it will be the 0, it's least lame XD.

 

 

 

Note: Usually I don't like slaughter-movies, and I'm not THAT evil :P.

hi.

For some reason, my old maths teacher used to call me tintin, and when I found out about rs, it was at school, at breaktime, after a maths lesson, and so i just called myself tintin.

 

Obviously there were a few other tintins, and so it gave me the option to be called tintin113; and as it sounded easy enough to remember, I made the account tintin113! =)

Thanks to Quarra for the awesome sig!

I like moose(s)?

 

 

 

My first account was Trunksbomb. Trunks was a character in DBZ, which I watched at the time, about 6 years ago. Trunks was taken, and I knew that I didn't want numbers in my name. So I picked Trunksbomb. :D

 

 

 

And my current name.. It's all caps, and I think with "O"s it was taken, so I used "0"s instead. I don't count them as numbers in my name either, since they form the actual name. ::'

Iunno if I ever posted but there's a cool story behind mine.

 

 

 

Well this account first started as a pker in RSC. Then it just turned into a whatever account. When RSC was shut down and I was forced to move on to RS2 This was the highest level account I had so I decided to use it.

 

 

 

Now since it was a pker I had to make it look strong and mean. So I thought hmm... why have normal bones when I could have my bones made of rune? That's pretty cool. So I created Made0f12une, which is referring to my bones.

 

 

 

It can also in turn be thought upon as being made of rune, such as one can be made of money

It was just a random name suggested to me by the same friend who suggested using the name BloodLust for AlienAA. =P

 

I miss him...

 

 

 

Edit: My favorite number is now 552 thanks to this name and I know use the screen name deathlord552 for everything. If you see a deathlord552 somewhere, it's probably me. =P

Just came to my mind from emptyness.

 

 

 

Today I checked what that means.

 

 

 

"Kostroma, benevolent and malevolent fertility goddess; like the Greeks' Persephone, she is a dying and reborn daughter. Russian

 

Kostromo, Kostrubonko - A dying-and-ressurecting spring fertility-god. Russian"

 

 

 

Somehow this name is perfect for me. :-k

Today I trying to become better person than yesterday.

I made my character back in 8th grade computer class. Gaming wasn't allowed and the teacher was doing random walkarounds. I had to think of something fast, since I had no idea that I'd still be playing the game 6 years later. Poopingman came to mind.

 

 

 

The end.

Metal fans, check out my band!

Still the King....

Mine story's best, I didn't even come up with the name for Runescape, it was for WOW (I don't have it, but my brother lets me play it when I see him)

 

 

 

Anyway, my name was as a result of trying to think of a good name, and when I decided to make a new account on Rs, I thought, why not use Krator

 

 

 

Long story short Krator was taken, so I had to settle with Krator15 (Being 15 and all)

Well, I have a pretty original name. My friends and I always made pie jokes then ( :-s ) and we all discovered RS together, so we all made pie names! \'

 

 

 

I never stole any pie though. O:)
