Chaos_Reborn Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 well, the whole RS planet was just a desserted place with no NPCs or Players on land (they all lived in the oceans). As autoers grew, so did the concurence in the water for resources so NPCs and Players hybridized with each other to create creatures that could live on land. And that's how it goes on...

Phil Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 What did the map look like when they first released it? - I will have a look around for an early map, I know one is on tipit somewhere. How many towns? - main towns were Lumbridge, Varrock, Ghost Town (edgeville now), Al Kharid added soon after release. How many banks? - no item banks, only bank for money in Varrock I think For quests/items being added after release look at http://www.tip.it/cgi-bin/np/viewnews.cgi?newsall, news items goes back to Feb 2001, one month after runescape went public.

brazyjay031 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 actually there were no banks in the beginning... then they made a bank for money but no items.... and when u started u could choose between good and evil... u could switch between the two options 3 times then u were stuck as that forever... and u could attack and get attacked in any city except lumbridge... guards/white knights broke up fights... there were no quests in the beginning and no armor above steel furthest back i can remember... chefs assistant was first quest ... back then prayer and magic were different even from todays rsc... i dont really remember exactly what but i think magic was used like prayer... and after they changed that u could attack with magic and melee at the same time... also back then u couldnt see peoples levels and many people including me got killed in the wild by higher levels.... i lost r2h worth 1mill..... oh the days... lol RSC veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 and when u started u could choose between good and evil... u could switch between the two options 3 times then u were stuck as that forever... At the launch, you could not choose, everyone was the same and it was pking everywhere except as you say Lumby and where gaurds were. Only later did they add the choice of becoming pk or non-pk.

insane Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Evil magic and good magic! Oh man, just remembered that. Whoever had the masterstroke to combine the two = genius. Yea, there was this one spell "Fear", that would make an NPC disappear. So in the banks, we'd "Fear" off all of the guards and attack people bringing money in! Also, there was no friends list; you could use the "tell" feature to talk. So like tell Bubsa hey there! Would act like the friends list would. There was up to adamantite armour, except only up to mithril for plate mail. Also, tons of pk battles in the cabbage patch so you could run quickly into lumbridge for safety.

After barbarian village was just a gate and there was no wilderness, the map was very small and the Messiahs reigned for pking...

nyy4life42 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I played a few months after it originally came ou. So I came along when the wild was around. I remember always staying by the wizards south of varrock by the scary level 29 demon. And venturing to falador for the first time scared me. And hard/soft rocks were around. And I recall the addition of sleeping bags, which made eveyone's life easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWarner Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 in the beginning there wasnt much al kharid wasnt part of the original game, i think it was 90 some smithing to smith full steel? a lot has changed since then the only thing that changed in smithing was the new items in rs2 the levels needed to smith never changed As Phil said, the smithing lvl tables have changed since the early start of runescape. I cant remember much, but atleast addy mail was 99 smithing. Mith plate was also very very high. Now Im not totally sure, but I somehow I remember/feel that bluerose was 64 smithing when they were changed. Or then steel kite was 64 smithing... Or something like that. Dont take those backflashes so seriously. Its years ago. I was so young (irl - lets see... its like 5 years ago so I was like 13) that I didnt really understand everything. And I didnt even know the game was new. I was playing counter-strike back then and my clan leader told me to try the game (he was 18 and a real hacker type of guy - dont know how he got to know abaut the game, since when I trace this back to then, it was out only like 2-3 weeks when I started. I know this cos there was this holiday coming in feb and I started just before that.) But when I got into the game, I think the best weapon that I could get my hands on was Addy long. Later on when the falador was already out, the addy battle axe was published and the axe shop in the port of sarim (???) was crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
