The Original RuneScape

Featured Replies

I was just surfing the net about any background info on the production of RuneScape and Andrew Gower (developer) and found this picture of the original rendering of RuneScape. This was before the RuneScape Classic version was released to the public on the internet:

Yeah, here's the little history behind the photo:

 

 

 

Version 1: The first version started out as a one man project. The developer (Andrew Gower), started working on the original game in 1998. This version was very different to the RuneScape of today. It had isometric graphics, and was originally titled 'DeviousMUD'. This version was never released to the public, and only a few people ever saw it.

Actually, bmms said that the original RUNESCAPE was RSC, never did he oppose what said which is infact right as the game IS DeviousMUD. I've known about this for years.

Well that's perfectly fine. I figured there were several people who knew about this, but I at the time didn't. Just thought I'd share. :D

 

 

 

And I think I got it off answers.com, thomsonkool. It might have been wikipedia, I'm not sure. Unless answers.com and wikipedia are the same, lol.

Heh, yeah. Well, technically speaking that "Version 1" isn't actually RuneScape, but more of a pre-rendering foundation for the RSC game.

This is VERY old, its been posted many many many times.

 

I can't beleive some people weren't aware of it being called DeviousMUD. :?

I found the same website a month ago, devious mud rocks :o !

I've seen it lots of times before... it's still funny looking ^_^...

 

 

 

As to the person who mentioned the Sims... what about POHs..?

 

 

 

APE :D

This picture is quite old and has been well-circulated in the past. It's available on the Runescape Wikipedia Page.

Haha, obviously some people aren't aware that I know this has been seen before, but then again there are a lot of new RS players out there who view these forums. Maybe they haven't seen it before... just maybe?

 

 

 

It's not like I was racing to release this information. As a matter of fact, over 70% of the topics and subjects on these forums have all been discussed before anyway.

Oh my word, that's absolutely priceless :lol:

 

If I were a man who put quotes in my signature (or vain enough to put quotes of people complimenting me), you'd make it with that little gem, no doubt.

Well if this wasnt the *th time this has been posted, Id find it somewhat cool. Nothing wikipedia doesnt have.. :?
