Double 10th Anniversary Max-Out Event


Rafi

Recommended Posts

January 4th, 2011 is the 10th anniversary of not only Runescape itself, but of my playing the game. From middle schooler to college graduate, from athlete to circus performer, my life has been a crazy ride. All through these past ten years, however, there has always been Runescape and The Gladiatorz Clan (who are celebrating their 10th anniversary next month).

 

Ten years later, it's time to max out my melee stats. Barring a few summers on the road without internet access, I've been slowly chipping away, level by level, at those 99s. If I remember correctly, I gained my first level in a melee skill the day the game was released by fighting my friend and others over and over again at the Lumbridge spawn spot (before it was a safe zone). When the wilderness was released in late 2001, over a period of years, I slowly gained levels by simultaneously training and pk'ing at the zombie graveyard and the ever popular hobgoblin mine with friends and clan-mates. After the release of slayer in Runescape 2, I have since trained melee almost exclusively by slaying.

 

It has been a long, slow road, and before I give the event details, I would like to give a special recognition to all of the generations of men and women from The Gladiatorz Clan. These friends and clan-mates have encouraged me all the way from a level 30 who showed up to his first clan meeting wearing iron and bronze gear that he smithed himself, to a level 121 (soon to be 122!) who can still barely smith anything above iron. Thank you each and every one of you! It is for you that I have continued playing and training all these years.

 

Event Details:

 

What: Party in honor of my 10th anniversary on Runescape and the game itself. I will be maxing out attack, strength, and defense.

Before anyone says it, I know this is the wrong forum Just thought clanners might be interested since as far as I am aware, I am the oldest continually active clanner in Runescape, and most everyone who has been in a major clan over the past ten years has crossed paths with me at some point, whether they know it or not.

I respect the fact your clan's been around for a long time and has a fantastic history but I'm not sure many people really care about individuals who are maxing out no matter how long they've been playing RuneScape or been clanning, seems to me you're bragging more than actually celebrating your maxed account...not much clan discussion. :huh:

 

Congrats anyway, it's stiill a good achievement. Sorry if you take offense, I just speak my mind. :-|

Yeah, cause no one here does that. :roll:

 

I personally think it's very cool that he's stuck around for so long.. and this topic has more merit than others in this forum. And I also notice that the few resentment comments are coming from the people who are rather new to RS or the clanning world. If you're going to call it bragging (which I really see no hint of in his posts), why can't we call your post jealousy? Let him have his moment - nothing wrong with it.

It's good for his clan that he's stuck around so long but I'm sure there are other individuals who've been around a long time too who wouldn't dream of posting a topic like this, especially in CD. I don't see how you can say this has more merit than others in this forum, THE Clan posting an anniversary here in CD is okay because they're a clan. However, this fine RuneScape player is an individual, and I'm sure there's a Goal and Achievements forum somewhere on these forums for him to post in.

 

Not going to reply or post again, as I don't want to ruin the topic any more than it's probably been ruined. Great achievement Rafi, but if people didn't speak their minds this would be a boring, boring forum. Congrats and good luck on 126? :P
