I got bored of Utopia and Earth: 2025 which were the only online games I played back then, typed "free browser game" or something to that effect to a search engine and browsed through some useless carbage before finding runescape which looked interesting enough for a browser game. It was in 2001, somewhere in the spring. I was a bit naive with online stuff back then(only had 56k and used it for a few hours per week) and made my char TheMike with password Mike.. ::' It was gone when I started again in the fall, so I made DjMIKE. Yey.

I heard about the game from some friends the summer of 2001. I didn't have an internet connection I could use at home (dialup, and my mom wouldn't let me use it for anything), so I couldn't play much. During the days we didn't have camp or school, I would beg her to let me go to work with her, where they had a fast connection. I probably made 5 different accounts back then because I kept forgetting my passwords! I was in the "MiniClip is ruining Runescape" and "want to cyber?" no-filter generation.

My dad decided to host a SCA event in our backyard sometime in June/July 2004, and there were these two brothers, a couple years older than me. They asked to borrow my computer and then went and played RuneScape, it looked interesting so when I finally booted them I made Lielac.

 

 

 

And then next year (I was like combat 47), they were like 'OMFG how did you do that did you bot how did you get such a high level?!' and I was like 'what's botting? and I have lots of free time. Kthxbai I need to go avenge myself and kill hobgoblins'. (That's another story... suffice to say that I also have a vendetta against broken ladders and lack of run energy.)

 

 

 

.... Then I took a break for about a year, and then I got addicted again.

Balance may be power, but chaos is still pretty damn fun.

In the spring of 2001, I learnt about RS from a classmate. I started as a Necromancer, anyone else remember evil magic

 

Yep :D

I was playing a very terrible text based game with my friends. I was surfing the forums, looking through posts, and one of them was talking about runescape, and I tried it. 2003 I think. I started playing in classic, played for about a month, there was talk about rs2beta, took a 6 month break, then rs2 was out. Was that 2003 or 2004?

I knew about it for a long time. Back in 2005, I went on the website to make an account. This was back when you had to be 13+, and I could not lie at that age. So, I didn't make one (so wish I did, I could be level 110+ right now! :x ).

 

 

 

Then, a friend played it and told me about. Was bored one day, all my games were boring. So, I made an account. Hooked from that day on. I met a new friend on the school bus, he played RS too.

 

 

 

Ahh, those were the nice days. Him and I would always hang out on RuneScape and go PKing.

 

 

 

Sadly, those days are over. Still enjoying RS though. ::'

Found out about it while surfing some arcade site in 2003, when I supposed to be doing my homework. I regret doing my homework now, could've done way more productive things with my life :?

I searched google for free online games some time in 2003. Found RuneScape, and then talked to friends who had already been playing it.

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.
