Trevace Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was thinking to myself recently about why I first started playing RuneScape and how I was introduced into the game. Back when I was about 14, I went to my friends house and he showed me the game. As he had 2 computers, I was on one and he was on the other. My first account was called Biscuit77 because, ironically, I was eating biscuits at the time (lol). I spent the whole time that night, killing cows and then trying to sell cowhides, by walking from town to town. I was wondering if anyone else had similar introductions to RuneScape, and if it was a friend or an advertisement that first started your journey. If it bleeds, We can kill it.

tintin113 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think I was about 11 (this was before they asked how old you were to join) and some people in the year above me at school were playing it in the computer room, so I asked them what it was and signed up when I got home. : Thanks to Quarra for the awesome sig!Xbox360 Gamertag = Tintin113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevace Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 This, obviously, before schools could ban online games? lol. Because the school I went to managed to do so... But it was a requirement to have a laptop where i went. If it bleeds, We can kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no it was banned and blocked and such, but they were nerds so school-level internet filters didn't really effect them in any way. ;) Thanks to Quarra for the awesome sig!Xbox360 Gamertag = Tintin113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevace Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Aha.. got to love how people manage to pull that off. We eventually found ways around it, so physics for me was basically training stats lol. That was easily the best thing about having laptops in every class. If it bleeds, We can kill it.

sohkmj1 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was reading a kid's magazine I bought, and in it were always some games to review. That month happened to touch on online games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returned3 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was 11 years old and my friend told me about this mysterious game that was fun. I couldn't remember the name and he told me to search "Run" and "Escape" together and bada bing! 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

magzar Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 MMORPG.com i believe was the name of the site it was this big list of online mmorpgs most of which at the time were text based one day back in late january 2001 a new game appeared on the list called runescape, so i checked it out spent my first day being pk'd while trying to do cooks assistant then fighting over the iron dagger spawn in the goblin house right outside lumby back then that 40 gp was a big deal [hide]Damnit, I tripped over Magzar's half inflated blow-up doll and hurt myself. I wish he wouldn't leave that thing lying around. -.-[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magzar Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 ha, thanks it's just something i made up about 5 years ago for some game and kept using then a few months ago i found out it's a place in afghanistan go figure huh but yeh it's a shame i didn't keep up the character i started with, but after being hacked i quit for a couple years and just really came back about a year ago then there might have been a bit of prestige in being one of the first 5000 players -.- [hide]Damnit, I tripped over Magzar's half inflated blow-up doll and hurt myself.

Trevace Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yeah well that's an achievement in itself.

sibmaster Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 it was about 3 years ago wen i was 12 - 13 in my IT class my two best mates were looking at the runescape site ( lol at the days when runescape wasnt banned on school comps XD) and my m8 made an account. and they then showed me, and so i also created my one and only account (sibmaster) didnt really like it at first and so gave up but then other m8s made accs and so i went on sibby again, and got to liking it and the rest is from there : god runescape was good " back in the day " :cry: lol Smashing Pumpkins Fan?

Gbpackers31 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Sadly... MiniClip :oops: I was at school, and my friend showed me this site called miniclip, and we played some orlling marble game or something. When I get home, I play some more games and see on the side that Runescape was the top game. So I was like, "hmmm.. what is this runescape?" Well I try it and at first hate it. I made this account, got to the firemaking, cooking part of the tutorial, and quit. I came back like a month later, and played a little. All I really did was mine and smith, because I told myself, "why waste money on armour when you can make it yourself?" Lol... i didnt even get full iron before that thought disappeared. Then, I stop playing for awhile, when all of a sudden one day, I have a feeling like I want to play again! I go back on MiniClip, and to my surprise its gone. I thought it was always just a miniclip game thing... lol. I google runescape and eventually come to their website. Boy, was I surprised! I didnt even know at the time it was this giant game with updates and stuff. It was pretty cool.... \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
