Tec106 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm not too big on "famous" RuneScape players, but I've always liked Spaderdabomb. Wrote a skill guide for all skills. That's as influential as it gets for me :P The fact that nobody understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The old nite certainly has to fit a spot up there.. He was a very important person in the early days. First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

Patr1ck Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Durial321, he taught everyone that you're safe no where. Hell I remember the rumors going around a few hours before it happened, mind you I was still a noob back than, so I got nervous, banked my stuff and logged out in varrock around 10 hours before it happened. Good times, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Free Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 3 hit u was the first person in RS that achieved over 1 billion gp's btw wasn't he? Was the first person to take a pictuer of 1b gp... and he borrowed it all from a bunch of friends .. took a picture and gave it back to his friendsI didn't borrow it all, but I did borrow it yes, I borrowed around 400M of it I think, I was probably no where near the first to own 1000M coins. I can't remember what the picture even looked like but I'm sure it was when I was quite low defence, maybe 15 or 20, back in the day lol. u were standing outside canifis bank i know im weird for remembering that @Dragonseance #1 to 200m all.www.twitter.com/dragonseance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Dan3HitU Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 u were standing outside canifis bank i know im weird for remembering thatI think I found it :) I must have borrowed around 700M or so, I think I wanted to see if it said "M" or "B" next to the coins as no one new back then? (I'm guessing so). Also, judging from what I'm wearing, I'd say that was around 2005. Edit: Bloody hell, look at those Arrows and Arrow-tips, back then, Bronze/Iron were like 25Gp each, I'd hate to think what those Steels cost me! I must have been one rich guy back then, sadly not now lol. [-- DYNAMIC SIGNATURES FOR RUNESCAPE 3 & OLDSCHOOL 2007 RUNESCAPE --] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walka92 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 me, because im awesome. but id say i mahatama i was one of them, and kidz ranqe or however you spell it. artemis1330 was my personal idol/influential though, in how much he affected me personally, because of his awesomeness in GDW and his tutelage made me close to half a billion from godwars drops and 6kirkegard, who founded guardians of fate. all the big monster hunters 'back in the day knew of him. I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocefisso Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The list is, on the whole, accurate, though I'd say that Durial is better known than 8th - for those of us who were playing that day (though I remember distinctly that I was in my POH, building my house and totally oblivious) and almost everyone since, the Falador Massacre is more famous than Gert, who was just known for being on the hiscores for a bit. Zezima is undoubtedly number 1, fully agree with that.

pal2002 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm not scrolling past 7 pages so sorry if already mentioned - but 1 player that really stand out for me is larryr (http://rsplayers.wikia.com/wiki/Larryr), even after all these years. She got 157M rc xp before tiaras (not to mention abyss, ZMI, pouches, teletabs, free xp games) even came out - absolutely insane. Even today, 5 years after RC and RS2 release, she ranks #4 in RC. And to add to that, she is an extremely nice player who never felt that her being #1 RCer entitled her to anything. You don't have to be #1 in all levels and xp to really gain the respect of the community, larryr is one of the cases. I'm glad someone (not me) took the time to make her a page on the RS wikia - it really is a lasting and worthy tribute to a great player.

Amethyst_Gem Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 What about omustardo/Castle Wars - both for being the first person to a trimmed completionist cape and (perhaps more importantly for this thread) for being the first person to publicly advocate the use of mousekeys in runescape.

Quyneax Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If anything Omar because he actually did get trimmed comp reqs beforeit came out. That is a plus for me.This definitely makes him iconic, I'm not sure about influential though. I think Zezima was going for some of the things that are currently trimmed comp reqs, such as champion's challenge (he got 4k chompy kills). Don't think he went for castle wars games though.

Normalize Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Durial32 - complete boss. 6/6/6 massacre. Zezima - self explanatory. N0valyfe - probably started the stupid trend of "efficiency", but a great player nonetheless. Cursed You - great staker. I Mahatma I, 3 Hit U, Sparc Mac, Kids Ranqe - famous pkers.

haimonek Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Zezima - obvious reasons. He was the #1 player when I started playing and he remained at that position until he quit. For me he has always been THE #1. Zarfot - He's the one that got me more intrested into skilling and trying to maintain a certain "max" xp/hr. N0valyfe - Never really payed alot of attention to him because I wasn't focused on the rest of the highscores except for that #1 spot. But from what I've been hearing lately he sure is a legend. SUOMI - Extremely nice guy and has alot of dedication to the game and to reach the goal of 200m in all skills. The Old Nite - He was the 1st person that I know of that was a nice "high level" person. In the days when I was a noob, not many 115+ people were actually nice people and they considered themselves above everyone else. The Old Nite changed my view on high level people :P. Elvemage and other well known pkers - for their epic vids that I've enjoyed alot over the years and still enjoy. El Popo1, Syzygy, Franzk, Water, Missoverflow and most top F2P - I have more respect for those people than anyone else in the game. I've been a fan of F2P for many years and I sometimes regret ever becoming member but ofcourse, members is alot of fun too ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makkaravelho Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 @haimonek, I have probably never agreed with anyone to this extent, everything you said I second :) never actually met Suomi but I have read his posts etc and seems like a really nice guy, and add the fact that he's a fellow Finn, that's instant win :P My words, but a whisper - your deafness, a shout.-If the future's looking dark, we're the ones who have to shine. If there's no one in control, we're the ones who draw the line-Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.
