Fell for the 'Jagex automatically censors your password! See? ********!' trick
I don't know what came over me when I pressed enter and typed in my password. I was a dumb kid back then. Anyway, I logged out to change my password asap but by the time I logged back in my all of my good stuff were cleaned out. Those fuckers work fast.
>>331659089
cmon man that was a meme nobody actually fell for that
>>331658637
I was trying to buy a whip once a long time ago when I had lost alot of money due to unfortunate circumstances in Falador W2. But my offer to buy a whip consisted of numerous valuable items, including a sizeble sum of cash, and some trash items to make up the last bit to reach the market value of the whip aswell. I had been trading tons of people and putting everything in the trade window like a hundred times, I had been trying to buy a whip for many hours now.
After a while, the entire process became automatic for me. As soon as someone traded me, I quickly put up my gigantic list of offer to buy a whip and pressed accept trade, not paying much attention to what was in the other box during the trade because I was so used to seeing a whip there.
And then someone finally accepted, I was so excited I quickly confirmed the trade, I open my inventory aaaaaaand nothing. Oh there was something brown in my inventory, but it was not a whip, it was a bucket.
>>331658637
>>331659113
>Jagex won't let you say your password backwards
WHY
Fish level?
>>331658637
I actually used to make money taking the wine back when I was level 15 at like 2005. That thing is actually worth some decent amount of gold for a new f2p account

there's not much to say
the faggot followed me for 30 minutes begging me to let him trim my armor, and for some reason i fell for it and gave him all my shit even though i had already fallen for the trim scam before.
How come the rune armor that NPCs wear is a light blue while the rune armor you buy is dark blue?
This is some bullshit, the heroes and NPCs get swag rune while we get pleb rune
>>331659113
Ha, I fell for that as well. Fortunately it was in a busy Varrock bank.
I just kept playing for a few hours and switched the password immediately after logging off. I was smart enough to wait a few hours but still fell for such a dumbass trick.
>>331659442
nice
>>331659470
and on further inspection it looks like the rune heroes wear is even different from the one oziach wears
>>331658637
Logs should have been more obviously different

When I got out of high school and started looking for a job, basically one of the first interviews I got was with some shadey-ass pyramid scheme company and I shit you fucking not, halfway through the interview, all the times I've been scammed in runescape flashed before my eyes and I clued in that I was going to get swindled if I went any further and left.
and then like 4 days later I got a pretty chill job at a dollar store.
>Tfw when you played runescape when 2h weapons were wield as 1handers. Having the same animation.
>That day when Jagex released the 2handed over shoulder animation
>People (me including) were mindfucked that such things were possible
>Random people followed each other with their 2handed rune/bronze whatever forming a big snake going from city to city and celebrated that update like a big real family together
I will never forget that interraction between random people. It was so random but it felt so good. I never seen such things happen outside of old runescape
>>331659470
>>331659571
NPC armor and animations for players neverunless you want to buy some runecoins, goy
Took someone's full trimmed Rune plate set, sara?(The white trim). The old put the gold amount in the trade box and then take the gold out at the last second trick. The Runescape streets are rough.
I have a cool runescape related story to tell if anyone is interested. it's kind of long but pretty funny I think
>>331659618
As much time as we wasted on Runescape, I'm sure it left at least one lasting impression on everyone.
I started typing fast and without looking at the keyboard because of RS.
>>331659628
RuneScape died when the G.E came out. The community and interaction between players is what made RuneScape, those days are over though... I miss them so much. I grew up with a hard and grindy RuneScape where community and friendship actually meant something, not to mention the same was simply better because achieving certain levels in skills actually meant something because it was grindy and hard, almost all the content in the game was relevant somehow.

>>331658637
None. I was always thought I was a smart kid and managed to avoid all that crap.
Looking back I realize I was stupid as shit and the fact that I never fell for any of that garbage is a miracle.
>>331659684
what are runecoins
>>331659798
G.E. didn't kill the game, it just gave it some cancer and kicked it down to all fours
Now EoC, that's what killed the scaping
My account is/was from 2002
The first time I heard about runescape was on miniclip back then.
Great fucking times

>"I'll trim your stuff!"

>>331659798
I too believe G.E killed the game.
That and because of no free trading.
The wildy pvp removal also gave another kick in the ass
Everything just went downhill from there and it didnt stop going further down
I got lured into the wild with about 500k worth of vials of water in like 2004. Haven't been scammed since.

>>331660045
the free trading update literally proved why communism doesn't work
>>331659884
Sure RS lost most of its members when EoC came out, but the community died with the G.E because interaction between players was now no longer necessary. You no longer needed to contact your friend you know can make a certain potion, you can just buy it from the G.E, you no longer needed to go to W2 to sell your Barrows or Slayer loot, you just needed to go to the G.E. G.E killed the community, and EoC finished the game off.
>>331658953
>Betraying your blood/friends
scum like you should rot
>>331659798
GE didn't kill the game, but centralizing the game (the only important location is now varrock) really killed the sense of playing a busy MMO. You never see more than 2-3 people in other cities besides varrock anymore because it's the only place you need to be.
If there were GE access from every bank or multiple GEs to trade different types of items then there would be no problem.
If you want to know what killed runescape then look no further than the god war dungeon. It was the beginning of tierscape and nobody saw it coming.
>>331658637
I was the scammer anon

>tfw Runescape taught you how to read
By middle school I still couldn't read very well if at all. When I started playing Runescape I finally had an incentive to learn. That game will always have a special place in my art for this reason, in the very least.
>>331658637
>Implying I wasn't the scammer
My biggest heist was some dumb bastard's whole account with like 15-20 mil worth of shit on it.
What do you do /v/
After only touching RuneScape for an hour to a day or two every three months, I finally got back into it. It's sucking up every minute of my life.
Help.
I'm starting to draw up design documents on how to rework shitty skills to be less shit, and rework the GE to implement more element of choice and involvement.
HELP.
>>331660119
Free trading is absolutely worthless due to G.E.
Varrock was a fucking marketplace where everyone spammed texts via F1-F9 with their text macros programs
The glorious days where each step introduced you yet to another kind of spammer/scammer/drug dealer/whore/trimmer/seller and shitposters filling up your entire screen are gone
My friend told me he would lead new players into the woods and kill them and take their shit, sell it and use the money to make campfires everywhere and make food. Is that a thing?

What happened to all their 'drive' and 'passion' for the game while they were fucking it up with that retardation?

there's a minigame in OSRS that gives you resources as a reward and it basically demolished pess and flax prices.
>>331658637
>"Put it on the table in my house to dupe"
>>331661153
They decided having pure essence and flax being collected by bots was a bad thing and they put pure ess and flax drops on Zulrah in huge amounts.

money snek is a boss that shits out resources
everyone hates it because of that reason
Outside of some poor investment I was never really scammed even as a noob. I'd always take a long time at the second screen which helped a lot.
I did accidently alch my SGS back before the warnings which depressed me for a few days. Was at fight pits and a guy attacked me so I tried to swap but hadn't de activated high alch. Was probably a month before GE release.
>>331661057
Oh god the Tzhaar was 10/10. I freakin' loved them. High levels you could fight them for great XP and a chance at good drops, lower levels you could mind and just hang out there (and loot players that died there).
Even their weapons were rad. If you saw someone with the Obby Maul you knew they were a big hitter.
>>331661313

bought some gold because I was jealous of all the rich dudes who never stopped playing
bought a bunch of good gear (already high level from playing 24/7 as a kid)
some guy doing the wildy youtube video scam came up to me and so I decided to try and fuck with him
played along wearing all the new gear I just bought ($30+ worth) + all my gold and some other stuff
forgot how wildy works so I just stepped over the line into level 1
immediately attacked by 99 magic ancients mage that just happened to be my EXACT level so he could attack me in level 1 wild

I actually believe that once Revolution hit, is when EoC became truly good.
Setting up your bar for your character to automatically use basic abilities in a certain order works fucking wonderfully, and is a really nice medium between the auto attacks of old, and the combat strategy of new. It makes combat super enjoyable for me, whereas EoC at first was too much of a hassle for long and boring slayer tasks, and auto attacks always felt so uninvolved.
I really think it's perfect now.

>>331660138
I a Player Owned Shop system akin to Neopets would be rad as fuck, paired with a Merchanteering skill that had a literal fucking sink in every bank that you could just pour money into for XP to level up.
You could search for the item you want to buy, then search through shops to find the one with the lowest price or the amount you want or the player you like to buy from the most for whatever reason.
You could set items into your shop and hope someone notices them senpai, but obviously if you want to get rid of something quick, you'd either do it by hand, OR you could, with the help of the Merchanteering skill, make little dispenser vendors that you could place-down in-world. Want to sell a shit tonne of Rune Essence? Fill up a dispenser vendor and bring it to a rune altar, so people can just stand there and buy from it while crafting their runes. People could link to a coal dispenser, bring an inventory full of adamantite and treat the dispensor like an extended inventory, paying for coal as they smelt adamant bars.
You could set down food near tough enemies. Use Construction to build a shop, Recettear.
Maybe there'd be tax mechanic where 15% of money "goes to the Merchant's Guild" for use of the magicks that go into dispenser vendors, so people wouldn't just abuse it for friends or group activities. Maybe the tax would rise or the things would be disabled altogether depending on the area (like gwd boss chambers).

Tiers are basically where any weapon at the same level essentially does the same damage. Passive effects and special attacks may be different, as well as prayer bonuses or set effects, but that's the general gist of it. Abilities scale their damage done based on how slow or fast the weapon is. Slow weapons with huge damage do less of the weapon's damage because abilities can use them instantly, scaling them to be the same as fast weapons with low damage, which do all of their damage because they attack fast.

The orchestral, high quality nature of new tracks just don't have the same magical feeling as the old tracks.

That moment when you were man enough to go to wildy. Fighting someone 1 on 1. Time has literally stopped moving except for you and the game.
That fucking moment when youre somewhere under half life and your opponent swaps his scimmy for to a rune 2hander.
That damage that could come out of fucking nowhere

I haven't heard a single new track with a memorable tune, outside of the occasional remixed, or god forbid, 'remastered' songs
It's like the people writing the music now didn't actually listen to the old music.

Actually cutting gems is one of the fastest ways to train crafting in the game. I'm guessing you were just wasting most of your time waiting for trades though.

The Chosen Commander had some really fucking good music that really fit with the quest at the time that it was released.
Oh my god do I regret doing The Mighty Fall so fucking much. The map is literally Freneskae recycled with some bridges and minor tweaks (I don't mind it too much on its own, but it's just another indicator of their lack of involvement), fucking ZAAAAANIK'S FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, the whole plot was shit tier and did NOT live up to The Chosen Commander.
It's really obvious that the writer for the Zanik series had left Jagex before The Mighty Fall was made.
At least she looks half-decent in Nomad's Elegy.
Anyone else make friends in Runescape that just kinda disappeared from your life in one way or another that you wish you could get back?

I asked him a couple times in our senior year since we finally had class together, but he would always avoid the question. He was a theaterfag by then though so I guess it's for the better.

>>331662809
Thats pretty bizarre.
I've been scammed one and only once in online gaming and it was runescape. Some guy feigned being a bud for weeks until he said he could trim my armor. I never saw my armor or that person again. It wasnt even rune, it was like some green armor.
Oh well, it was a learning experience
>log in to my account after a long time

I actually really liked Fate of the Gods, The World Wakes, and Plague's End / The Light Within.

>implying anyone on here really makes those comparisons and doesn't just use it as "THINGS I DONT LIKE = REDDIT"
if he did i'm actually relatively impressed. he's wrong, but the train of thought is surprising considering how it usually goes.
>>331663138
Kinda looks like the Grinch baby
I fell for the ol' "Free armour trimming", took me forever to get a steel kiteshield and I lost it in an instant.
The dumbest thing I remember myself doing in that game was everytime someone said 'ty' I would say 'how do you know my name?' since my name is Tyler but everyone called me at school. It freaked me out being at varrock fountain and seeing 'ty' every two seconds.
>>331662968
i dunno man. player flashing can work pretty good, too. there were a lot of desperate 12 year olds that'd drop their pants if you suddenly put on a Verac's Brassard/Gnome Top.

Superheat Form, the Seren-aligned Ancient Curse will automatically burn your logs when you cut them, or smelt your ores when you mine them.
Light Form, the Seren-aligned Ancient Curse will make the Seren-aligned Ancient Magicks Crystallise and Crystalline Mask more effective.
Crystalline Mask increases your odds of successful thieving and gives you a chance to avoid being stunned.
Crystallise lets you "Crystallise" a gathering node - mining, woodcutting, fishing, box traps from hunter - and gather from it constantly with no chance of depleting it, but without getting items, for 50% more experience (or 87.5 with Light Form).
Prove once and for all that youre an oldfag

Man I remember reading the guide for that and thinking the fights must be really hard. Was pretty disappointed, but it makes sense for it to be pretty easy I guess.
My favorite quest by far was the first grandmaster quest where you unlocked tormented demons. If you beat the quest around release, it gave you an item worth 10 million. The story was cool and it was probably the hardest quest to date.
>tfw meeting zezima was one of the highlights of your life
rip oldscape
>>331663752
I don't remember While Guthix Sleeps being as hard as Nomad's Requiem. Then again I don't remember which one came first.
>tfw doing quests before G.E
GE brought alot of cancer but it also did something right
>>331663796
zezima still plays
he streams rs3 tho, idk why he doesnt come to oldschool
>>331663702
That's a scam. Willow compound bow is basically worthless. They wait for some idiot to walk up and buy it then try to sell it to the other guy for 30k.
>>331663508
>rune 2handed 50 fucking k
Didnt need to scam because I was around when they dropped the Party hats ingame and i picked up like 17 of them;
>>331663859
Because Oldschool has gotten bad in ways different to RS3.
I mean look at fucking Necromancy. Abysmal.
>tfw you were combat lvl 110

Fuck you jagex you fucking assholes for not making EOC a separate thing
>>331663957
necromancy is stupid shit but its kinda harmless
i can certainly see why someone would hate the new bosses and shit though, fuck zulrah
>>331663508
i'm not that old, but pretty much the jist of when i was playing was
>only the richest people in the game had an Obsidian Ring
>that rumor of being able to get into the bank storage in Varrock
>Zaros didn't even fucking exist
>Fremennik armors were impossibly rare to see on another player
i actually still love to use those sets to this day
>>331663702
Are you retarded? Thats a scam.
>>331663839
I never actually beat Nomad's Requiem. The fight was super hard from what I remember people saying but I think it was way shorter than While Guthix Sleeps and probably had less requirements.
>>331662856
>doing treasure trail
>last part is on wild level 56
>pick the emptiest world there is
>get to the point
>suddenly a fucking white dot appears out of nowhere

Just the sheer amount of unluckiness was enough to kill my motivation completely
>>331663245
>>331663391
>>331663442
And here's Yelps, from the same quest, so you can't really say that Zanik's awful face is simply from the fact that she's dying.
>>331662118
>>331662546
I did it too.
>>331663508
>tfw became a typing master after peddling my wares for hours
Welcome to runescape, anon
>>331664102
It took me 14 tries. I had to make lots of ava's backpacks. I kept going behind a pillar to take pot shots, and I was using the Spirit Kyatt's special attack to constantly make it deal lots of damage to Nomad.
I ran out of food and nearly died before I beat him, my Kyatt dealt the final blow.

What are your favorite unpopular quests?
A lot of people hated those quests in Morytania or whatever (that area over in the right of the map with a bunch of buildings) but I liked them a lot. I thought that area was super cool.
>>331664465
They just got someone really, really shit for the quest's facial design, I think.
