hmm, this just popped in my head.

 

im not sure how many people remember it. i just remember it vaguely but here goes :)

 

 

 

Who remembers the day when jagex was more involved with us players, and the old runescape forums were still up.

 

One mod decided to play a little trick on us. he would turn into a tree and sit in falador garden. if no'one would cut him down until it reached a specific time he would do a massive drop party or something in that spirit.

 

 

 

I remember how there were 100+ people consistantly screaming to not cut it down.. but it cut down anyways..

 

 

 

Anyone remembers this ?

lol, if everybody should scream: do not cut!!!, do you know what i would do??

 

 

 

i should have cut it down lol

they need to do that again, but with meaningless items. not like party hats but like arrows and elemental runes.

Nah. Things like this is what made the game a lot more special compared to now, and if you weren't playing back then you don't deserve the privilidge of having a real close community and strong interaction between players and mods.

It was good back on RSC, and early RS2 aswell.

 

 

 

I remember paul and andrew used to come on and ask the players what they thought of the updates.

 

 

 

Mods always used to hang around crowded areas (Catherby fishing spot) Where various mods used to walk on water (Mod Daniel was most famous for this) when I saw him in RS2 I asked if he could still do it and he said no because paul had taken his arm bands away :(

 

 

 

I remember seeing Paul a few times early RS2 around new updates although I still do speak to him in game via pm I don't think he goes to the new update places any more.

sounds about right cazwise

noone remembers this specific event ? :) ah well =)

 

 

 

It were the glory days for me.. community was good. its still good now.. but different

lol that would of been really funny i can just imagine it rolf

those were the days were they werent as many rs players as there is now, and so jaqex staff and mods noticed everyone, and could do sutff like that, but now, there are just too many peeps lol

noone remembers this specific event ? :) ah well =)

It's only good if you stay out of the crowded places and hang around in yanille or elf place. :?

 

 

 

Allthough the p2p community seem to have gotten better lately there's still stuff they need to improve in order to make it good.

Personally, I think we need a premium members sort of account that costs, say, $10 per month. Only hardcores would pay it, and hey presto, a new community where things like this are allowed to happen. Just like the good old days which I don't remember due to me being a noob... ahh those were the days...

I remember Paul at lvl 123 in his pretty red shirt, hehe.

 

 

 

I also remember just 4 worlds to choose from, although I am aware of the single world before that. Naturally at those times Paul and Andrew were more invloved in the game as they had few clients to attend to.

 

 

 

Good ol' days, I miss em :(

-.-

 

 

 

[Mod Edit - Please do not spam ~Alduron]

I remember in christmas of 02 or 03 the year after chrismas crackers dropped how me and hundreds maybe thousands of other rs players waited at falador east bank for more to drop and paul was there but none dropped that night

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good times.

they need to do that again, but with meaningless items. not like party hats but like arrows and elemental runes.

and thats why we have clans now :)

yes I remember back when everything was still personal, when andrew and all the mods would walk amongst the players and survey on how everyone liked the game and actually have in depth talks with them about it....those were the days

i remember rsc but i don't remember much since i only played like 3 months then quit for a year after that it was alot different :cry: but alot of my good friends still played :

Unfortunatly, I havent been around this long. :cry:

lol, i don't remember it but wish i was about, maybe i was but didnt know about it

used to have a mod friend in rs1..

Mods were soo friendly then... I remember seeing them more often. I use to poke fun at Mod Mark a lot, but then he threatened to bann me, so I had to stop :P

We could of acted like we were a tree when the new chat update happened like:

 

 

 

 

 

Jesse: Hey, I'm a tree*

 

:Presses ENTER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, i'm a tree

 

(Tree located here)

 

 

 

Aahh, so many people fell for that haha :

Wow. Generally, I can handle the occasional foolish-RSC-player pride. But this is insane. You claim that the original community was so great, so pure. And for the most part, I'd say the community WAS better back then. But it wasn't some perfect utopia you LOVE to make it out to be. The way you behave now is just disgusting. You're so caught up in your idiotic, over-inflated ego, you've forgotten the key aspect of a kind and helpful community: acceptance. Now, you are speaking condesendingly of RS2 Products, many of which have been more helpful, and gone on to do greater things than a large percent of the RSC population has done. You are no better than them, or vis a versa. Who are you to deny them happiness, to BLATANTLY deny them acceptance? They did not "ruin" the community, people like you bashing them did. They have just as much a right to experience a friendly atmosphere as any original player.

 

 

 

Frankly, it's people like you that make RS2ers say, "You know what? With jerks like this, the community back then probably wasn't all that great". So quit your gloating and get over yourself.

 

 

 

You're not special, you're self-deceived.

yup the good old days... even though i started rs last year :-s

 

 

 

when i get my mmorpg up i want it to be like a community...

well i didnt play in the old times but when i read things like this that say how much more mods were involved, maybe it would be kind of nice to actually have a conversation with someone that is affiliated with jagax.

 

 

 

Maybe it would just make the game a little better if you could actually talk with jagax mods and maybe even just see them now-a-days
