May 15, 201313 yr I think I started way back in 2003 or 2004. So not that long, but it's still been awhile.
May 15, 201313 yr I think I started way back in 2003 or 2004. So not that long, but it's still been awhile. If you have members you can go see Hans to receive 5 yr/10 yr vet and/or be told days til you can claim the next cape; from this you can work out your exact join date. The only limiter (though it should not apply to you) is that they never logged join dates prior to members launching in feb 02 so all jan 01-feb 02 accounts share the same join date of the day members arrived.

May 15, 201313 yr is your name on this list? if not, cabbage off I brought 2 of them to Runescape so thats NOT TRUE, not first 2000 i played Runescape before them and my name is not listed.AND 2 i m sure of they played AFTER 2001. totally wrong list.A list did come out of the first 2000 that were still playing in Nov 2001, so you are right in saying it is technicaly not a true representation of the first 2000 sign ups.
May 16, 201313 yr i cant leave rs. ahh >.<I, too can only take a couple months breaks and maybe weeks when i'm on F2p, but cant quit the game
May 16, 201313 yr didnt make to first 2000 but i talked recently to #1 in list...Rab...he seems to pop up every now and then
May 19, 201313 yr Not on the 1st 2000 list, but I'm still here - Feb 2001. "America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people."-George W. Bush
January 26, 201610 yr Holy shit. Found all of this again after searching for Dwarf Invasion... I know I signed up the first day the game launched and there were only 5 or 6 players online on one server.. My OG character Gunar was lost forever because I accidentally made him a girl and there was no way to change your appearance, so I made a new character named Laquisha (scammer of cows)
January 26, 201610 yr Loved Dwarf Invasion.I'm pretty sure I also saved that video..... way back when..... stored or archived somewhere on one of my PC's... "America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people."-George W. Bush
January 26, 201610 yr Fall 2002 myself. Back after a 5 year TIF hiatus. Please don't mind me too much.
January 28, 201610 yr October 2002 for myself. I went through a handful of accounts mostly named after Lord of the Rings or WWF wrestling characters....... One of them I had a full invent and bank of Halloween masks on it!
February 10, 201610 yr I'd say it was Oct or Nov '01.I was just 7 years old at the time though, so at the start I had multiple stupid accounts that I forgot passwords for or told my friends who subsequently emptied me of all my belongings.I remember my mum had acquired a pirated Lou Bega disc somewhere in '02? and thus forever Lou Bega's Mambo no. 5 relates to fishing lobster on Karamja in RSC for me. RS was really huge in my hometown until like 2004. Nearly everyone my age had an acc. It even went so far that at once there were over 40 acc's online out of total ˇ1000 that started with "Saq" which was the start of the name for pretty much every one from my town of 4k inhabitants. People hogged the local internet cafe and computer classes at school to play RSC.And then, as quickly as it started, RS was extremely uncool, the ultimate nerd-loser "thing" and thus I also didn't play for a while. RS says I made my current RS account a year after I made this forum account. Yet I used Tip.It site from pretty much the very beginning for general help on homepage and didn't think anything of the boards. I can't even tell how many accounts I've had through the years or how many times I have quit, but I am out right now. And probably will stay out for quite a while. So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends. RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.I strike out every other week.Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.Randox pretty much stays rational.Etc, etc
June 10, 201610 yr I started playing RS in Oct 2001. I was very active til about 2008. I was a member of the original BlacKnights back in the day. I just logged onto my account, after some Jagex riggamarrol, for the first time in years. I don't know half of what's going on. I'm playing on a free server now. Had to get rid of a lot of very special stuff. Hope to find a clan willing to help a Lvl 100+ noob learn her way around again. |^_^|
June 10, 201610 yr 2003 here. OSRS has an 'Age' option on Hans in Lumbridge that will tell you your account's age down to the day, if you still use/have the original account. Might be of interest to some of you to get through Tutorial Island (it was for me).
June 10, 201610 yr Tuesday February 25th, 2003. OSRS has an 'Age' option on Hans in Lumbridge that will tell you your account's age down to the day, if you still use/have the original account. Might be of interest to some of you to get through Tutorial Island (it was for me).Worth noting this only dates back to 27th February 2002, any accounts created prior to that will show that date. So no way to tell the exact age of your account if it was prior to that.
June 10, 201610 yr I've been playing RuneScape since 2001. I have never changed my name - Melos, and I even remember I started as a miner because there was different classes you can choose XD.

I believe there was a post on these forums about so many people having the same date for the date they set their Recovery Questions. EDIT: Yeah, like this one: Although with this one I'm assuming that the date shown had to be a bug of some sort. Like I said earlier I started in February of 2003 yet the picture linked above shows my Recoveries set a year earlier.

So not a bug just the first date they started tracking. It's possible as well that some were reset to that date for whatever reason for recoveries etc.
July 25, 20169 yr Me and Ore Sabre are still here... and none of my other original friends from 2001.
July 26, 20169 yr Does anyone remember.... dmxkobe8? xpkax? Vas? Sean987? Ladykilljoy? Really cool people who used to post on the original tip.it forums.
July 27, 20169 yr I think the only tipit oldie I could remember would be Leesters... I remember they had an event where everyone PK'd in the wildy multi to see if the glitch where you would skull from auto retaliate in multi.. That must had been mid 2005.. :) Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum
July 28, 20169 yr I remember LKJ. We used to hang out at the Barb Outpost when it was still next to the Legends Guild. Back after a 5 year TIF hiatus. Please don't mind me too much.
September 16, 20169 yr I've been playing RuneScape since 2001. I have never changed my name - Melos, and I even remember I started as a miner because there was different classes you can choose XD.Lol I started as a ranger. 7 archery, big woop! Still one of my lowest skills to this day. Could never find enough damned arrows until fletching overflowed the f2p market with bronze arrows :D
