When and How did you find about Runescape?

Featured Replies

I was told by a classmate, so I made an account and got started. This was during Runescape Classic, where at the time you were able to choose a class at the beginning. Like adventurer, miner, wizard, and it'd give you an axe, tinderbox, and logs for adventurer, or a staff and wizard hat for a wizard...

 

 

 

Ah, the times.

 

Then I got my account hijacked by a player impersonating a Jmod because I was a total bonehead.

A disc in a magezine, that contained a short demo video and a link. I was hooked from the start.

Around 6-7 years ago I saw this kid playing while my class was in the computer lab. Everytime the teacher turned around he would go back to the page and play. I even remember where he was at, draynor manor, he quit because he couldnt get out. I was pretty young back then and didn't play much because we had dial-up still and i was never into it until like a year later.

I found RuneScape on miniclip.

 

 

 

I found out about RuneScape from friends who found it on miniclip. Yeah that's right, I'm a second-gen miniclipper. :roll:

Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.

Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate?

In October 2003, a couple of my friends and I were on a bus. They randomly started talking about this 'Runescape' game, with swords and goblins etc. I asked one about it, and he told me the gist. I googled it and signed up.

i was doing research online for a computer class, it had to about Java, and somehow i just started playing different games and found RS.

I work at Target target and the prepaid cards sell like crazy at my store, so I decided to see what the games like.

April 2002, I was in 4th grade and a friend of mine (who i've played pretty consistently on/off with over the past 7 years and still to this day sorta) was drawing a picture when we were hanging out in the art room after getting back from a field trip, I asked him what it was (it was runescape related) and he told me about the website and what not.

In 2004 my brother introduced me to it, I thought you could only play on the miniclip website until I just accidently typed in 'runescape.com' in the top bar, I played for a couple of years, then quit, then came back every now and then. And then a year ago I got members. :shock: Been obsessed eversince

I found out about RS in about mid 2004. I did a search on the internet for runic stones. The only problem was that I direct translated it from swedish (I didn't speak good english back then, I was just 13 years old); rune stones. This made a hit for RS came up, which I clicked. I got curious and started playing :)

miniclip, i dont know when i started playing since the miniclip page from which i played RS never listed any updates, and I cant remember when i started.

I found out a long time ago, through a friend IRL. I just recently got back into it due to having nothing to do.

My friend introduced me to it in late 2001, early 2002. I played a bit, but couldn't play much (lack of internet access). I got internet in 2004 and remembered the site, so I started again.

4 years ago, I was new in my school and heard everyone talking about how bad this 'Runescape' was.

 

 

 

I decided to check it out and a few of my friends did too, the longest one played on and off but mostly off for years but he's a bit active again lately but I kept playing the 4 years, after trying it to see if it was that bad I fell in love. <3:

ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang m8

In early 2006 i knew this guy (he had a strange delusion that he was my boyfriend) and, as we were both into computer games, he suggested we find an online game we could play together

 

Then i read an article on the BBC News about how great it was to hang out with your mates... and it was free to play!

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4774534.stm

 

 

 

So i went thru tutorial island and then told the guy about it, saying it would take him no more than 15 minutes from registering to arriving in Lumbridge, where i would wait for him at an agreed time...

 

And i waited and waited and waited in Lumbridge whilst trying to contact him by other means

 

Eventually i gave up waiting and decided to play the game on my own

 

 

 

When i did get hold of him, he declared that the game was "too difficult" and that he didn't want to play

 

So i continued to play on my own

 

 

 

And the guy? He went on to play World of Warcraft

Hey, me too!

 

 

 

He said there was a bunch of different emotions you could do and you can pick what to say to NPCs.

 

 

 

I still remember discussing smithing...how I could finally start doing iron items. <3:

in like, 2001 or 2002, my friends and i had some free time in school, finished all our work, so we went in to the small computer room between 2 classes (each class was connected to its neighbour by a small room. most had computers in them) and played games. one of them had this weird black page with a red bar, the bar slowly creeping across the screen...

 

 

 

"hey callum, whats that"

 

"a game"

 

 

 

i looked at the URL.

 

www.runescape.com

 

 

 

i went on when i got home, made my first account, alex14543372

 

i played for a few days then died. and also i didnt like my rsn, so i made walka92

 

 

 

and here i am now

 

 

 

 

 

all my friends who played it back then have long since quit and i kept playing. most of my new friends dont know i play though

I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"

walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come
