You Know You're Old-School When...

[Kevin_]

 

 

Just took these beautys :D.

[tylersk8shop]

The fact that I've been playing since 2001 :P

[Capone_Sabre]

In my opinion you are not old school unless you played before item banking and rune armour were introduced.

[MoeSzyslak]

You may remember... (02-03)

 

When the tough guy pker went around saying "I'll 3 hit you" not "ill K 0 you"

 

When it was fun to make a pure pking mage anywhere in between the lvls of 4 and 20

 

When everything was harder to train

 

Classes (wizard, archer, adventurer) and some of the starting equipment/stats

 

When Tks was on top for a while

 

Back when dragon battleaxes and then eventually dragon meds were amazing... full rune+r2h was the armor/weapon of choice in f2p (or kite+b-axe, this was debated, but r2h owned)

 

Fatigue -.- :-X

 

CERTS

 

Invrigar the Necromancer was a hot commodity to kill, cause his robes cost like 200k back when I was kinda new to p2p (and still such a noob :P)

 

Lumby, the dueling hotspot

 

 

 

and so so much more. Eh, I miss it.

Santa hats were 200k... People pked with them to show of their "wealth".

Santa hats were 200k... People pked with them to show of their "wealth".

 

 

 

real people pked with party hats and dragon sq shields to show off wealth, not some measily 200k santa hat

[Lime_Mercury]

if you still got an afro and listen to 70's disco, and say stuff like "rad", "far out" and "ultra-violet maaan!" 8-)

 

 

 

Man, you know an oldschool post here on tip.it will always get Fook A Ji to post.

 

 

 

I want my gems back, [bleep] :cry:

 

 

 

Right, people pked with santa hat because they gave a +3 mage bonus, a nifty little thing for PBs.

When the rs website interface was two rows of boxes, when the world select page was across rather than down. When fally wasn't white-washed. When you had to click every fish to cook it, when it took 10 seconds of conversation to get to karajama, when you could go out and cut a yew tree and only 0-1 real players were the only competition. When there was no moat to divide the wild. When Greaters and Lessers looked like giant lizards, when you had to log in to the forums to access them f2p or p2p. When Classic was available to all. I could think up alot more but I'm tired its late here. -.- Bring me back to those days please.

i remember when mith chain was the best armor. + i remember no stat requirments for weps my friends miner had a rune long equiped forever at 25 attack, it was ownage. and if i could remember my lvl 3 skiller's password i had in rsc i could show you 9hp in rs2 :P

When you say HYS instead of HYT.

People went on an uproar when Musashi22, the best smith at the time, got killed in the wilderness while wielding both a dragon med and square shield (which was worth a LOT). The guy then got into a heated cold war with whitemagem on who was the best smith in the game, which raised a lot of discussion here about Musashi vs Whitey, the latter accused for character sharing for levelling so quickly whereas the former kept free smithing rune to everyone making prices fall really quickly.

 

 

 

It's one of the more community-based discussions I can remember. :-w

[lchaosl]

I remeber when ancient magic was released, I think I started a few months before that. I also quit a few days after farming was released because I was bored.

Wasn't it HSB or something?

[xvillexvalox]

I'm not old school, but I always feel like i am when I show my freind my 60wc level up pic back from when slayer was the newest skill and there was an empty skill box in the corner. It was one of the first RS screenshots I took, about 3 weeks after I started playing.

Nope, it was HYS. I'd give you a direct link but dk3 has the database. :)

[Platinum_Myr]

When I have a scythe... ;)

 

 

 

But I was super nooby during my old school times :( So I didn't get any thing like mask etc, though I was playing around those times :(

I remember all of those, but those are just lesser old school days

 

 

 

When... when runescape life was better!

I can remember all that, it wasn't that long ago. =p

[DRUMINATOR17]

You know you thought a game was so old school when you saw your sister playing it long before you started playing, and said things like, "What the *bleep* are you playing?" , and " Doesnt that game hurt your eyes??"

 

 

 

If only I had gotten into the game back then, from what i hear it was good stuff :XD:

 

 

 

I know i sure would have had a few rares to keep and to have sold off now adays, and maybe I would have gotten more lvls faster and could finally be done with this game now :ohnoes:

[bloodkilla87]

You know your old school when you sold your red party hat for 80k willingly :

 

 

 

I actually did that

[MrBowser]

When you stared at the page where it showed what you have equiped for about an hour after coming back to RS from playing Back when the armour you wore was highlited red in your inventory. :-#

 

 

 

WAY long time ago.

 

 

 

And when you wondered why people would ever pay money to get "A few more features" Until you looked at the KB and read about how much there was for members... :shock:

you know how to win me over, don't you :)

[madico]

Well if you have scythe and bunny ears you're pretty oldschool :|.

 

 

 

hehe i have both :)

 

 

 

you know your old school when you see noobs talking about release of new stuff, like cwars and recipe for disaster

 

 

 

you know your old school if you remember the day of the market crash due to phat duping

 

 

 

you know your old school if you still try to buy red phats for under 2m and you still think that pink phat is worth the most
