Smithing those 10k+ steel bars in Al Kharid to sell to large smithing "companies" (Futureprofit, ...). Yep, was my main f2p income.

Yeah, i remember when steel bars were (wait for it)... 550 gps!!!@!@!@ it seemed alot when i was a noob.

I remember getting tricked into picking up a Zammorak wine (he told me it would teleport me to Lumbridge) and getting wasted by the monks there.

 

Also, having regular buyers and sellers of different items. Still have some on my friend list who def don't play anymore. No GE for quick sells and purchases meant having to build personal business connections, or failing that, spamming in W2 Falador East bank or Varrock West bank (bonus points for using colors and text effects).

 

Or when santas were like under 5 mil (and I was too lazy to get that much cash T.T)

i remember when most edge pkers wore

 

zerker helm

glory

torso

rune/barrow legs

fire cape

whip

barrow gloves

rune boots

 

and would dm with it on not careing if they lost the torso or cape

Hello, gamers =)

 

happy thanksgiving day =) :thumbsup:

 

Happy Thanksgiving :thumbup:

Items being dropped in the wild. 7 santas, sold for 50k each, oh yeah boss money maker.

4 d baxe scam -.- I was a victim

when you actually made money cooking lobbies

You only lose 17 geepees. It's honestly not too bad.

Anymore remember the glitch that would auto equip whatever armor you had in your first couple inventory slots when you logged into RS2 beta and you'd see lvl 3s running around in full rune. That one just popped randomly into my head.

.... Buying unids 11+ stacks. *sigh* good times.

I remember when the top three players finally were able to obtain Abyssal whips and everyone complained they were just strings of sausages. 25M GP or so.

 

Barrows got released not too long after. Being worth 30M per set and whatnot.

Trading cut gems for uncut gems. Free crafting xp ^_^

When Delrith patrolled the Dark Wizards Circle...

I just remembered when in pking...

 

there would be fights going on and when someone dies you would

see a ton of people(mostly low lvs) rush to the spot hoping to

get something because you could see anything of any value.

lol lootin was fun/annoying :P

Shade robes were like 25k for each piece!

 

And now I have an useless item "An Empty Box" which was 1m back then and now in current times it's untradable.

how many more old schooler threads do we need...?

 

biggest thing for me was remembering when people back in the day played for fun and not 99s

I can remember my method for money making when first started playing lol, picking up the chaos runes in dark warriors fortress all day. No revs =P, but risk of getting pk'ed made it fun. was back in 2007, all seemed new to me at that time.

I remember the leaf-bladed spear scam and how Jagex updated it the day I got my first ever Guthans Spear at Barrows. The price of it goes up from like 4.5M to 6M and I, who had just broke the 1M mark thanks to Barrows (I was a historically poor nub), could afford 70 prayer for those shiny new family crests for Construction. Piety came out later and I was like "Sweet!".

When rune knives sold for 3k/+ each and making hundreds of millions through free trade. Rune warhammers for 3x/2x the bar value.

 

Thats smithed though not merched..

 

Suppose not many would remember lol.

-When toy horses were sold for 15-30k

-When North of the West Bank of Varrock on world 1 you could by Santa's for 200k and Masks anywhere between 300-800k

-When D Chain was 16mil

-When full Guthans was 16mil

-When the KBD was the toughest monster to fight

-When you could change platelegs into plateskirts

-When you character was 'Dropping Logs'

-When 2 handed swords looked like daggers when weilded

-Pures wearing monk robes and a R2h were everyware in the wildy

I remember than double skirt scam where the seller puts 2 v skirts instead of one, replacing the more expensive part of the set.

Fell for it once. It's hard to tell since the colors blend together so perfectly.

"Bank Sale Upstairs!"

 

(often seen in Seers Bank)

Runescape was played for FUN not as a job

when people cried about the home teleport coming out

when the community was actually decent.

Creating an alt for the sole purpose of farming bronze arrows from Vannaka in Tutorial Island, only to spawn in Lumby with 50 :wall:

 

Good times.
