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

[mystical25]

when u remember trying to buy the new smithed square adam square and it being the best shield in the game

[Mike_Ike111]

You know you are old school when you remember doing quests that didn't have 180 minutes of chat. And when you remember the side of varrock castle on world 1 like it was yesterday.

[Nukearcher]

snake slava getting 99 range... then getting banned and getting 99 range all over again.

 

 

 

 

 

btw I never heard why Pirahna was removed from the highscores however many years ago. I assumed it was autoing, but does anyone have an actual answer why? :oops:

 

snake slava is unbanned and play again btw :D

[Triplewich]

I don't know if i'm really old school, but i was like 8 when i started playing, and all i remember is the sleeping bags, when i had full black, i thought i was rich, where short swords and long swords had diff reqs. like black short was 5, and long with 10 or something. And when i collected a knife and spade atop varrok general store for cash, and when it was swarmed by people, it took forever to sell something...all i can think of now.

"Runescape 2" first came out, decided to go and look at the new blue dragon in the heroes guild, died and lost the santa hat i was wearing because i couldn't find the protect items prayer :wall:

 

 

 

When your friends call you a noob because you're the only one in the group who doesn't have bunny ears, just a scythe :cry:

[Estonian dude]

...When you remember, that you missed Christmas event 2002 simply because you were at your grandmother's place (yes, I was 8 years old then).

[gamers209]

i remember in 2002 i made my m ain account blue eyes ba but i dont have bunney ears or a scthye :cry: but i remember fatigue was a main killer i remember my noob friend dyin to a lvl 13 goblin i remember i once tried to wear goblin mail. i remember u vary moved in rsc and i remember the day rs2 came i went to play and all my stats were reduced

[blitz-kreig]

When Bluerose13x charged 1000 coal for an adam square shield, and you had to store it on "coal mules" because you couldn't store it all in the bank. Then, you spent an hour trading it to her.

[shooterbob7]

you reminisce about the wild....

 

you look at the 3k trade limit....

 

you realize world 16 is never full...

 

you see a pure and think it was you back then...

[Runey676]

Your old school if you run around in wildy now shouting "OMG! I can't attack anyone!! GLITCH!!" :wall:

[snewham]

You know you're old skool when you have bunny ears and a scythe, you remember watching Ltangel be the first person to get 99 crafting, you remember when rune fulls were 10 times the price they are today and when you could make millions a day from mining rune rocks :)

 

 

 

Also, you remember when runescape was a community, when people had freedom of speech and when it was run for a love of the game rather than to make money.

 

 

 

 

 

This is me with meh "old skool" st00fs

p.s. combat levels were higher in RS2.

[Wizz]

When Bloods were 500 each -.-

[Guest]

I traded pink party hats for rune ore :wall:

[MoeSzyslak]

Someone offered me a green party hat for 37 (number may be off) raw lobby certs... and I turned it down.

 

 

 

 

 

I've brought this up before too, and this is the moment to me that really defines the retroness of RSC for me. Around 02 red zamorak robes cost like 200k. Back then this was a lot to me, and I heard Invrigar the Necromancer outside of Ardougne dropped them. He was tough to kill though, because he summoned zombies, and there were usually a few of us there trying to kill him in hopes of getting the robes. Someone died and dropped a red party hat there once, I don't even remember if I got it or not, but if I did, I did something stupid with it. I think I did get the robes though, and I was pretty happy.

 

 

 

Whenever I walk by old Invrigar's hut (I haven't been that way in a long time though, don't know what that areas become) I get those vague flashbacks.

[tintin113]

I saw santa hats being sold for 50k and wandered who in their right mind would spend 50k on a useless hat!

[Lapitcka]

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.

 

 

 

EDIT: lol as if this thread is still going, I've played since Aug '05

 

 

 

You are not even close to old school. The battle between Zezima and Lilyuffie88 was a long time before you started. Probably that has already been pointed out to you.

 

Old School is pre-RS2

[Dharockslayer]

When you could choose between the main Runescape, but instead you scrolled down to the runescape classic button in the rightbottom corner, because all your friends played there.

 

 

 

When coins looked like cereal, and when the dark wizards were packed. And when a bearded dark wizard attacked you, you were just waiting impending doom. When you first discovered @ran@ pretty colours! and you went around showing everyone your flashy text.

[Returned3]

When Bloods were 500 each -.-

 

 

 

*Sigh* Those were the good times where Ankous were actually very profitable and exciting...

[umbear]

THOSE were the good times? haha.

 

Good times where just when you didnt know what to do and just wandered into the wild for the thrill of it.

 

 

 

4 years strong here :)

I used to lure noobs into the bearded dark wizard at wizard tower... I died there once when I was a noob and a LOT of people fell for it. I wouldn't do something like that nowadays though :shame:

vaguest memory is soft and hard rocks... before fatigue and sleeping begs and crap

[Rarex]

when I would walk around and never see a lvl 120+ for hours other than myself :)
