Mucky Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I started playing runescape sometime in that first year. My stats are not great but they are not bad either. My bank is decent, some barrows, some dragon, a mask I have managed to hang on to all these years. I have been thinking about starting over though. I don't want to make a skiller or a pure. I don't want to just level as fast as I can either. I have been thinking about how much Runescape has changed over the years. All the new updates, new quests, new areas, and new monsters. There have been alot of changes to the game that I would have enjoyed as a new character. Am I just crazy or does anyone else think it might be fun to start over? I know I would do things differently if I started over from scratch. I see alot of people posting on Rate This showing there new pures or skillers and all of the stuff there friends donated to them. I would want my new character to be self-sufficent, no relying on friends. In fact I would no longer even buy and sell raw materials. If I collect something, it means I am going to use it. No more selling pure ess to make a quick buck or buying coal because I was too lazy to get it myself. I have avoided some new dungeons, new quests, new monsters simply because there wasn't much of a reason for me to try it. I want to go back now and experience some parts of the game I have just skipped over. Maybe I'm just crazy. I havent made this new character yet. It is just something I have been thinking about. Anyone have any thoughts? UPDATE I went ahead an started a new character. I cancelled members on my character, and started members on my new character. I don't have much time to play anymore so I have been consentrating on questing right now. Its been fun questing, alot of the old quests have cut scenes now. I really think its gonna be fun starting over. I have read through everyones comments and I have appreciated the responses. Basically, I play Runescape for fun, and I think I'm going to have fun with this. If anyone wants to chat you can message me in game, I don't have much free time lately so I don't spend much time on the forums.

Kevin_ Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 What's the point in starting over? Sooner or later you'd be at the same point again as your previous account. Some people dream of success, while others make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoe325 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I so wish I could forget EVERYTHING I know about Runescape and start over :) The real fun part In runescape (for me) was discovering new things, new way to do things more efficiently.. Sadly thats impossible.. :( (Damn you brain!) edit: Like zot_mutske said, starting over right now would be pretty pointless since we know ways to get ourselves above the average players of our level in no time..

I agree with this, but what I think you should really do is quit runescape for about a year, then start on a new character, because Jagex is continually updating older stuff aswell (i.e. graphics, cut scenes in quests) plus you'd forget a bit of the knowledge you've gathered.

vilageidiotx Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It would be intresting to start over now they have all these tutors and the lumbridge home telleport. I already know the game, so there is no way to relive the "new" feeling :cry: . Oh well. Some people are like slinkies, normally they are dull, but they always give you a smile when you push them down a flight of stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv_Green_vI Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yes I've thought about this, but I soon realized afterwards.. there is no point on doing so. Just as Zot said you'll eventually reach the point that you were on your previous account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myweponsg00d Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It is fun to start over, believe it or not. I've played a few characters from scratch, no drop trading, and they are all very fun to play with. Need assistance in any of these skills?

imaerehw14 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I have always loved the character I am using. I have always had good luck getting decent drops, I've leveled him to the point where i can do things comfortably. I have a green mask from barrows drops that i have sold, a hefty ammount of cash and runes, good armor, 99 firemaking banked in yews, and yet i still think sometimes that starting over would be fun. I havent done cooks assistant quest since my first week of runescape. I havent fished for my own food to camp out at greater demons since about a year ago. there is something about being so well off that doesnt seem perfect. I always made my money by woodcutting on f2p or by smelting an ungodly ammount of steel bars for 60gp profit per bar. maybe i am just missing the struggle i had when i was on f2p or a lower level. but, then again, I dont think starting over would make for a great time. I have gotten so used to having this kind of character, that I don't think I would like it on f2p/with low skills. I have an account in the making that I dont know what I am going to do with, but i know i want to have fun with it. who knows, maybe i will sell everything, buy some rares, and quit this account for a while. probebly not, but you never know.

Lakitsym_Rose Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 If I could replay my first week-two of RuneScape I would. That mystified feeling of wonder about this whole new world. The Adventure of traveling to Al Kharid and fishing Shrimp in that small sea right next to the bank. This account I created about a year ago and is my first RS2 Account so I was learning the basic of RuneScape all over again (not having played for 4 Years might have helped with that as well). But yeah, back when people were nice to everyone else, and some complete stranger would spend the entire afternoon helping you learn how to play. That, was RuneScape.

Striker6 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I am always making new characters, as someone mentioned earlier, the best times in Runescape are the times when you first started. There isn't anything wrong with what you are doing, you should always play the game for fun, if you find making new characters and experiencing the game the way you want to nobody should critiscise you. Afterall the game isn't all about skills, they're completely futile, fun is not futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12pure34 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It would be fun if Jagex released a new version in which everyone would have to start over. This will mean that everyone starts at skill level 1. So everything has to be redone. Has to be remade. Much wealth for high level smithers. Really every high skill would be worth millions compared to now. You would get an entirely new community. And you could only start if you have a skill total above?!?! X? Or combat above X, so no autoers would be allowed to join. I would love this! Runescape 3.
