Notes: The reason 85 and 84 Mining and 98 Smithing is included, is because it was one of those very important levels, like 91 Runecrafting and 85 Slayer is nowadays. Also, Attack, Defence and Strength weren't shown by the highscores back then. And Runecraft, Slayer and Farming didn't exist. P2P :: 1836 ST :: 91 MAGE :: 90 RANGE :: 85 PRAY :: 245 QP :: 124 CMB
May 27, 200620 yr Nice stats there, smart thinking to keep them ;) Its really amazing seeing how much the game really changed. 99 people with 99 prayer? I thought it was like 5 or 6, lol ~Bepo Because bepo is always right RSN: Z A M 0 (it's a zero) 74 att - 45 def - 76 str - 72 hp - 52 pray - 91 magicFeel free to give me a shout, private is always ON
May 27, 200620 yr wow... over twice as many lvl 99 mages as there were in November. Proud to have gotten 1800 skill total before access to fishing guild Why make a house when you can rob one?
May 27, 200620 yr As a random aside, only about 300 people surpassed me in thieving in those entire 2 years, and I was completely idle. Jack of all trades, master of thieving. 259th to 99 thieving. All stats 75+
May 27, 200620 yr As a random aside, only about 300 people surpassed me in thieving in those entire 2 years, and I was completely idle. Wonder why? FARMING is cooler than thieving these days.
May 27, 200620 yr Show's how piss easy RS2 is. Ditto Respect- Oy_the_Great, Lode, Bubsa, Weezcake, Thrash111, Gloric, Vmser, Pianofrieak2, Runemetsa Sigs Made By - Pink
May 27, 200620 yr Thanks for the post Furious, it is very interesting to see the affect that RS2 has had on the hi-scores. Remember, it's not only the fact that RS2 is easier, it could also be because the ammount of people that play has increased dramatically. Btw, I'm the guy who HYT'ed you outside Fally East World 23 yesterday =p I don't know what it is, but something keeps telling me you "own"?"When you're happy it's like you're a bird; you can fly. The only trouble is, you need other birds to fly with"
May 27, 200620 yr Show's how piss easy RS2 is. Ditto You got my vote on this one :P +1 Gotta agree. Just dont have the time to 99.
May 27, 200620 yr Nice to know :) Man only one person with 99 crafting!! Currently not active on RuneScape.
May 27, 200620 yr RS2 is a joke. On my new account(Rabidgordita), I've trained to 86 combat in 2.5 months. On RS1 that would NEVER happen.
May 27, 200620 yr Wow, shows how popular herblore was and is :lol: 99 Pics - Range, Defence, HP, Attack, Magic, Strength, Cooking
May 27, 200620 yr wow very nice didn't realise there was no one with 99 prayer origanly :shock: Getting another sig[removed]
May 27, 200620 yr wow very nice didn't realise there was no one with 99 prayer origanly :shock: I think Lilyuffie was 97 at rs2's launch, at rank 1.
May 27, 200620 yr Show's how piss easy RS2 is. Ditto You got my vote on this one :P +1 Gotta agree. Just dont have the time to 99. Severation, that didnt make much sense... If the game is "piss easy", then how do you not have the time for 99? (After reviewing your stats, and finding only 1 thats even 10% of the way to 99... :? ) And Im sure the game has gotten easier, but a lot of it has also got to be increased player population. I really think the author of this thread should include the numbers of players, as well (if the information is somehow obtainable). For example (completely made up), 100/10,000 players had 99 herblore way back when. That is 1% of the population. Now, say 10,000/1,000,000 players have 99 herblore. This is also 1% of the population. Although it appears to be a lot more 99 herbalists, as it is, compared to the overall players, its the same ratio of 99 herbalists to regular players as it was in the beginning. I still, as said before, wont argue that the game has gotten easier, but seeing people call the game piss easy, when they themselves lack any skill at the level of 99, seems a bit stupid to me. (Was unable to locate "Aus Fighter" or "darkdude98" on the highscores table, so if Im wrong, please correct me).
May 27, 200620 yr Nice list, Furious. I thought I would add my own high score pictures which I saved a few years back. Not as accurate as yours, but it goes to show who was on top of what skill back then :) All of these are from August 3rd, 2003. Overall The rest I will post as links since they're all pretty big and uncropped :P [Edit] I've made all the links pictures since people can't seem to get to copy/paste the entire line into the browser. Fighting: Herblaw: Crafting: Smithing: By The_Jeppoz :wink:
May 28, 200620 yr Punk, your links dont work. (For me, at least). :( You copy and paste the ENTIRE line into your browser and it works just fine for me. By The_Jeppoz :wink:
