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

[Mercifull]

or tailoring :P

[Seraphyna]

If when you joined, slayer, construction, farming, summoning, and hunting didn't exist.

 

 

 

If you remember when dragon plate skirts were 3m, dragon medium helms were 1.5m, and dragon scimitars were the best weapon in the game.

my case :

 

...when you came on tutorial island for the first time,there were no graphical update of the rats

old school is when not even rune weapons existed, and the best weapons were addy stuff, possibly mith/black

 

and you never required an attack level to weild a weapon

[GreyNite]

when u remember when a rune hatchet was a rare item. and u have 15 in ur bank.

 

 

 

and selling Santa hats to the general store because u had to many.

[Gin_and_Tonic]

When you were the 4000th person to get 99 Fletching? :P

[die_noob]

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

 

 

 

I actually did that

 

 

 

Green party hat, 3k.

 

 

 

IMO, playing before the wilderness was released is relatively old school.

 

White party hat, 2k.

 

 

 

:D I missed the drop but bought one the following day.

 

 

 

 

 

I remember when we could pk ppl almost anywhere.

 

If you didn't want to get attacked you had to go where the land was higher or something.

 

You had to keep your item in your bank and ppl would try to make you take your money out of the bank by ''selling you something''. As soon as you get the money out they would try to kill you.

 

 

 

and runescape having 3 servers.. I don't remember being here when they had 1 server though..

[Infi]

When you know that the real[/b] old-schoolers are probably not even playing anymore, or even on these forums - those who don't try to go around claiming they are old-school when it's common knowledge to know some of these old things (which aren't even very old to begin with)

[bonzeben23]

you can remember picking up 20+ crackers on an old school pure and finding out that you could buy a full rune set for the price of all of them. (i got burned on my pure doing this back in the day

[Nipper Manak]

When you remember when the most popular item scam was getting noobs to "steal" the zamorak wine near goblin village (I fell for it :oops: )

[feedmetotheforest]

when your character was originally created under the "ranger" class

 

 

 

or when you purchased a santa hat for 150k considered this to be "high priced"

[Sharcoth]

When you couldn't see what level people were unless you were both in the wilderness. That was pretty cool.

 

 

 

And when party hats didn't exist yet :

[tunafish69]

You know you're old school if you still play rsc, and remember a time when santa hats were dropped as a christmas event. Also when your "Old School" account has a couple sets of party hats on it you decided not to drop those when you quit because they "weren't worth that much" maybe 5k at the time. >.< I would forget all my accounts and just use that account with the 2 phat sets, ffs >.

[Iamanarab]

Remembering a time when Dragons dropped regular bones when they were killed

[Fairness]

This topic is very revealing. Seeing people classify themselves as "old-school" when they mention something only a few years back (Post-RS2). Just seems the definition of "old-school" is changing all the time.

 

 

 

Anyway - When you remember Carpentry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's all relative, just like on the 'Fax.

[R2Keen2]

What makes you realise that you are actually considered "old-school" in RuneScape? I've only played for a 23 months, on and off but i was around in the xp battle between Zezima and Lilyuffie88 and the release of Receipe for Disaster, when I could have bought a full phat set for around 200mil.

 

 

 

I know I'm old school but cause I don't have the slightest what your talking about.

[Toad]

I started playing in january 2002, i think rune was out then but i'm not 100% sure i didnt read updates and was busy savin for my bronze full helm

 

my rl friend "borrowed" my iron battleaxe that i found on the floor in the dwarven mines.. i never got it back :( my best wep too

 

 

 

I dont concider myself oldschool and thats January 2002, id say if you played before party hats, and wilderness.. which i didnt either so yeah..

 

 

 

if you play in rs2 thats definately old school.. if you played in classic play before rares rune wilderness and yep

[feedmetotheforest]

[GGunitfan10]

[mugged99]

Actually it was between Halloween item + possible few day delay to RS2 release and "guaranteed" 1st December release and a pancake day drop. We won because we got a Scythe and 1st December release =D>
