How many RuneScape originals from 2001 are still here?

August 2001 for me, not that anyone would remember me.

You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level.

    Oct 2001. The only reason I even remember the month is soon after I started there was free food everywhere (pumpkins) I ate so many of them....

  • No, it doesn't.   Feb 2001 - sup.

  • This guy. Hard to believe I started playing this game when I was in the 9th grade.

Somewhere late 2001.

I believe I started end of 2001, around halloween and christmas.

I started sometime around the end of 2001, before the the 2001 Halloween Drop.

 

In those last 10 years, only racked up 90 days of play time :)

Hello :)

 

Maybe there should be some kind of "old skool" sticky somewhere. These threads pop up about every 6 months or so and its the same few of us that reply hehe

 

Yeah I am aware of the past oldschool threads. Most are so vague though, that players starting in 2005-2006 get labelled "oldschool". I just do not agree with that :P

 

haha

 

But seriously, hello :)

Yeah the time has really flew by. In some ways, it does not seem like its been 10 years. Hell its been over 10 years now since Falador came out.

 

A completely random memory for you: Do you remember when J from IRC was quitting and giving away stuff via a game of hide and seek in game? I recall me, you, sir_lance and a few others were playing. I think I got like 1500 bolts and a crossbow, among maybe a few other small things.

 

 

Edit: I was getting LJ13 and Lit13 mixed. It was Lit13 who ran RuneScape 2001.

I know that Meili frequents the forums still, and how nice to see some old "faces" :)

I'll be getting my 10 year cape the first day it's available on multiple characters. So yeah, I've been around for a long time.

Feb of 2001

I'm still playing, I started in early summer 2001.

Prob no cape for me since they deleted my account on the only sweep they ever did.

Me and the wise old man go way back.... he was a foolish boy back then.

 

 

My crystal armour idea.

Think around Feb 2001 - the most I remember from my first day was the black guide and good/evil magic.

Not 2001, but january or february 2002 i think (don't remember).

10 years next winter, god damn.

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

April '02.

 

Still in the prime of classic.

I started playing runescape in April of 2001. The majority of my account's stats were gained during classic; once RS2 came out I've only briefly logged in to try out the new Runecrafting and Dungeoneering skills. Though I fondly remember waking up on Dec. 1st to see that the beta of RS2 was out. It was just amazing going from classic to RS2, (or so I thought at first.) I remember the party room duping, the walking out of windmills on the second floor.. good times. Though it never came close to the tight-nit community we had back in classic.

I must have started in 2001 because I remember us playing it in the computer room in the student village in our last semester.... and I graduated in 2001. My player level doesn't really reflect how long I've been playing though as I tend to dip in and out of the game and maybe go crazy on it for a few weeks and then don't play again for a couple of months.... regardless I still stump up for P2P lol. I remember there was a section gated off by one of the banks and through it were loads of houses. When you clicked on it it said "Player houses coming soon." I remember me and my friend being convinced we'd be able to share a house and so saving up our gold ready to buy one. :oops: In reality player houses didn't come out until a good few years later. :grin:
