give me one reason why i shouldn't get back into runescape

hunter2

its a wasteland of bots

I don't know how I had the patience to do all that grinding as a kid.

Just play Cred Forumsscape casually. Don't give jagex money.

i used to be a fucking loser and go into the wildy with a dds, woodcutting axe and a tinderbox and set up camp in ruined buildings.

sometimes pkers would come along and cook their food on my fire and we'd sit around and shoot the shit, was pretty fun

sometimes pkers would come and attack us and i'd give them a poke with the dds to help my new friend out then run off and usually die

>Cred Forumsscape
I played that shit back when it first came out in like 2013/2014 and it sucked because there were only like 30 people playing and they were all shitposters

this.
>tfw farming dank wizards for lodes of runes, GP, magic xp, and melee xp.

sounds comfy

i used to be one of those 1item dds guys who hung out at the lv50 wildy teleport thing in multi
we'd all wait for some poor skulled sap to come in and spec him to infinity

occasionally pking clans would come over and ancient us all and we'd fucking scatter like birds
and there'd always be 1 guy trying to lure the chaos ele towards all of us

I made like 300K-400K an hour just buying runes off mage's guilds and selling them on the forums.

I haven't played old school since like june

anything new added in?

I'm like level 90 with 70+ in most stats

Some dude walked to me and gave me a rune and a mith scimmy, for free. i was a like a lvl 34 scrub

>gives 10 gp
>he runs off
epic scammed loolll rfffll

gaysex69

the one thing old school really fails to bring back is every area, at least in f2p, being completely packed

Didn't matter where either, lumby, varrock, fally

thered be at least 100 in every major city doing whatever

now its all just in one click banks, or varrock.

>runescape thread
>nobody has mentioned how fucking fantastic castle wars was yet

youtube.com/watch?v=4dyP4LDMLG4

Man the memories of being a scrub. Castle wars was such a clusterfuck. I think some of the charm from RuneScape is gone with the sheer wealth of encyclopedias that are out there. I envy new players a bit like that.

PTSD activated

hunter2 I miss you on v4c

It's not the same, 07 is just artificial. There's no going back

********* F.uck i paid money to give this man my account

How was a browser java game so good with the castle wars?

Click to move, yet castle wars was fun.

Man erecting baracades was the shizz. Jumping over the stepping stones was boner-worthy.

collapsing walls on people in the mines gave me great pleasure back in the day

Get the cannon and balls, go to the crabs, sit there killing crabs without doing anything.

New patch comes out: "go explore the caves near the crabs"
*assault course with other people*

*fresh content*

Ahhh Runescape 2007.

I honestly never got much into combat, just all the nonoffensive skills, was there anything special about rune scitimars or is it just a meme?

Being a cannonfag at the rock crab place was so entertaining, watching people hopelessly running for a crab just to decimate it before they get there

Based fucking door-closer. I literally ran to my friends house immediately after.

They were the best wep in f2p
High dps

Cheap and good for wild so if u die, u didn't loose much.

Plus WILD gang with all wielding scimmys was coooool.

Seeing that guy with 92 str hit hard with a scimmy was something.

...

Haha yeeeeee

The yellow text ensued *would you fuck off please???*

response:

*smug* "No"

I still remember where everything was sold in Falador. Shame the game (assuming Jagex didn't ruin it with tombstones and various other bullshit) is too grindy for me to bother with again.

good job literally making someone scream and cry

i cried and scream when i lost my full addy when dial-up internet poofed while taking a shorcut from edgeville to the other side

>have multiple party hats when they ranged from 5-15m

SUFFERING

Ah ok, thanks

I cried when I lost my full rune, like 400k

fml only le true nerds will get this feel bros

>worth billions in a worthless game
it's all right, too late to ebay this shit too

I remember on one of the Halloween events where you could get a rubber chicken that you could hit people with.

I used to love that chicken so much, I'd walk around hitting people all the time.

A few years later, I was hitting a few people in Lumbridge and feeling smug about having an item they didn't have, when I'd finished I decided to walk to Varrock. Just as I get to Varrock, I notice my player is empy handed.

Where the fuck is my rubber chicken?

I scroll up the chat window and in black letters I see something like 'Oops! The rubber chicken slipped out of your hand'

I fucking lost my chicken and that Diango cunt didn't have another one to give me either when they decided he was going to be the holiday item retrieval guy.

if anyone is serious about wanting to get back into runescape you can always join the Cred Forums private server Cred Forumsscape. 2007 based, no GE, 2.25x exp for a slightly faster grind, inf run and no donator benefits.

it's pretty chill with averaging 20-50 players at any time. Check the thread on /vg/ if you want to know more.

>it became a canon event in the lore

>20 to 50 players
still? it was that small years ago too

>ice barrage in castle wars
I was always to poor to understand it. They just sit up on the wall and cast it, over and over, and the spell is so god damn expensive, but they never stopped.
Player-sized blocks of ice desperately hop scotching over those stones between the two castles while that bullshit twinkly-laser sound effect rings over and over is something I'll never forget.

Lose him by running through the woods at the east.

If you hunt monsters or anything, you get like lots of Runes to blow. I would always just go to Castle Wars sit up near the door and just kill everybody with Ice Barrage and Blood spells. It was one of my guilty pleasures.

Actually, they banned all of the bots a year ago. It took the servers down for an hour and they lost like 1,000,000 accounts to the ban wave.

Literally farming the game. I played it in 2002-2005 to waste time during lunch break at school. I only have negative memories about it.

Did you do any quests? Hang out with friends?

Play any of the minigames?

Oh... you weren't a poorfag, were you user? You had a membership, right?

At one point, Castle Wars was the only thing I found fun. I'd grind a few hundred magic logs just to get a few hundred Charge / Sara Strike runes.

>just hit 80 magic, go to CW
>lone level 30 runs up to the castle from the bridge
>one shot him with a 29
>"lol nice"

Little things like that kept me playing.

Man I played RS without membership through a lot of my childhood and had a blast. I finally got asked my parents for membership the day after I completed Dragon Slayer. Was totally worth the wait.

I remember constantly trying to up my Construction because I wanted the biggest, baddest house/dungeon.

Tried to start something of an university RP once. A bunch of people just went upstairs and blew raspberries while I was trying to give them a tour.

time to type.

why did they make another monkey madness

i used to spend hours there just having fun back when i was lvl 70-80. when i first got my dual granite mauls (torag's hammers) i instantly felt like a god when i pwned the noobs with their puny d longs and scimmys

Can someone give me full rune

Why did they make a bad monkey madness*

>tfw you give money and shit to strangers for no reason other than good karma

Quit shit posting mango

...

>tfw going to empty corners of the map just to see what's there

i will never understand why they changed the numbers & combat

number inflation to attract the wow userbase

youtube.com/watch?v=VNW9TAwImBY

well. in reality its to add "depth" by multiplying the numbers by 10x you can now have those fractional damage values appear "real" but yeah. i agree.

i.e before
0 0 0 23 0 10 10 15
now
4 4 0 238 0 107 104 153

theres really no need for it.

I have heard that song several dozen times making new accounts for PKing. Sweet memories making low level mage pures to terrorize newbies roaming the wildy.

Thanks for reminding me user

I stopped playing at the start of 2004

how much did i miss guys?

>Selling rune scimmy 17k

Castle Wars in its prime was the best damn thing in Runescape.

>OSRS

Still the old game but everyone is an autist and actually knows the game, so they min-max and do everything efficiently. Some OSRS updates are fucking garbage but I still enjoy it nostalgia wise. Cwars is only played on one world and only for rewards, not much of a social atmosphere, etc

>Cred Forumsscape

somewhat dead but 10x more comfy, except for ::yell being nothing but shitposting

Regardless I play both and either is a fine choice to play if you want to get back into the 2006-7 version of Runescape

Tbh the big numbers trigger me. And now in RS3 the numbers are massive. It's such a blatant appeal to the whole big numbers crowd for WoW. God i fucking hate RS3.

Mang0. That's disrespectful. To me, To you, To hungrybox, To everyone. That's just disrespectful.

Whoever made the remastered one for RS3 managed to completely butcher it. It's rather sad actually. Listen to this; at 1.53 forwards
youtube.com/watch?v=WeS9O_KumnI

Have you played the new RS? The new combat system gives you a special attack bar with about 10 options that recharge very quickly. I'd say the DPS you can achieve is probably twice that of Old School Runescape

Who cares? Rs3 is pay2win casual wanna-be WoW dogshit. Someone literally maxed their account paying 13 grand in 4 fucking days.

Fuck RS3. Seriously. Fuck Jagex for destroying vanilla RS.

>remember getting chocotrice cape with cool spinny egg emote
>mfw that was 8 years ago

I wasn't trying to make RS3 sound good, that was accidental

RS3 was a mistake.

im a low-number advocate. changes in stats through levelling up and item strength show more in a low number environment.

i.e hit 10, add +5 strength hit 15
opposed to hitinh 123233579, adding +5 strength hit 13874056

this is true

OSRS is great at times but the community is trash and has a bunch of efficiency fags that basically killed the game and any interaction

I think bigger hits are more appealing to players in some psychological reward way

>first time walking into the wild, decide to explore with half an inventory of lobsters for backup
>make it to around level 42, spotted by a pker
>start a mad dash to the exit, chugging lobbies, blubbering and begging in chat for mercy

>never re-enter

Shit that was traumatic.

been playing this with my boyfriend for anwhile now, got membership and i'm still having some fun, more so with leveling up skills i never did as a child.

can't wait to get that magic stat up more, going to invest on black knight killing after dinner.

r u a girl
pls be my rs gf ill pay you 10k

>Played Funorb when it was still alive

the buying gf meme never fails to make me chuckle.

>coonscape.jpg

RS started turning to shit by 2016 so you didn't miss much

Efficency faggotry is what kills the game. I mean, it seriously is a huge fucking problem. No clue how we can do anything about it. But I'm happy so many are acknowledging it. I also think it's insane that having several alts is common practice.

yep

>new update comes up with a new skilling method
>efficiency fags whine about how it needs to be nerfed

It doesn't help that the jamflex devs make the game more about it. I think money snek is an example of this. The game's depth is nowhere to be seen with these awful profit holes.

You go money snek to earn cash to skill and get gear.

>jamflex
C'MON JAMFLEX

Because some shit was just overpriced on third party price guides because no one would actually fucking trade them.

Obscure shit was impossible to buy, have fun buying 8 Chef's Delights to get a barrel in your POH without the GE.

I made 1 million in 30 mins by buying the runes and iten, then enchanting that item then selling it back into the GE, made a lot of money like that

buying fighter torso 50k pls

It was stupid good EXP for the money if you hit at least I think 45 total between your 8 possible targets, and you can technically hit a maximum of 240 (30 each on 8 targets).

I wanna see how well I can start over on my old account. I think I'm like 80-ish in most combat stats but I gave away all of my gear and money years ago. Time to punch shit to death for a while.

Not having the G.E would kill the game faster. People don't want to spend eight fucking hours trying to sell crap. It eventually wears off, and as an adult, I can't afford that amount of time. I'd be unable to playt he fucking game. In which case, I'd be more happy to move onto a game that has an auction house of sorts.

Did someone say runescape?!

Comfy/10

or you can go to buy it from npc or make it yourself

But that would require him to actually play the game!

...

Oh, which NPC do you buy Chef's Delight from, user?

His point is, you shouldn't whine about how hard it is to acquire certain items when that is the entire point of the game

or just go around the gate. took less time than begging for money

Why do we constantly have threads about games that have turned to shit? What is the point?

selling rune essence press 123

same reasons we still have threads about how your mother wouldn't let you play videogames if you were sick.

It takes five days to make Chef's delight. Five days. You're going to make tens of thousands of purchases of items throughout the entire game, so spending god knows how long to just sell an inventory of crap is such a waste of your time on earth, when the entire process could be eliminated with an actuon house -> G.E.

No, I much prefer having the G.E thank you very fucking much. I don't have that much time and neither does the majority of the players. The game wouldn't have been around for so long if there was a G.E, that I'm sure of.

OSRS is still salvagable.

>OSRS is still salvagable.

just checked and indeed i was wrong in that you can't buy it from some random bartender like most special beers.

you can still make it yourself though.

Who am I kidding, RS is dead. Efficencyscape is the king, money snek is the go-to moneymaking method and everything's about convenience. I support the G.E. because there's a nice middle ground but this isn't it.

It takes five days to make one batch of it mate.

>five days
Do you seriously not have the patience to wait five days of real-life time? It's not like you can't do anything else during that period

wait is django still the holiday item guy or no?
>walking around in full chicken suit

FUCK WHAT HAPPENED, I MISS IT SO MUCH

it takes 1-5 days. and you don't have to be there when it brews.

though we went bit too much into your example instead of your point which i understand but to me best part of runescape has always been accomplishing and doing things myself while having fun with friends on the side.

different strokes for different people i quess

I was a god at the mech game

This mother fucker right here with all shrapnel flaks could 2 shot berthas from medium range

I remember pretty much nothing from the game over than the mechs looking cool and the weapon effects being sexy as fuck.

shiiiiiet i forgot how much i loved fleet and the movement/shooting system

>Lured people into the wilderness
>Closed doors on people dying to random events
>played a female character to con losers out of their money
>Would swap items for similar looking items during trades

Runescape brought out the absolute fucking worst out of me and I loved every second of it.

So is 2007scape any good or nah?

Speaking of ice barraging people in minigames.

It may not be as memorable as Castle Wars and was a bit later on, but I loved ice barraging people in Stealing Creation. It was great just rushing down the clay for armor, weapons, and runes and then going out and hunting down the skillers who had nothing on.

>Used to have a priceless business on RS
>Made so much fucking coins that it's just stupid
>I never had any need for even a fraction of it, nor did my partners
>Everyone working for us made a decent amount of cash too
>Literally ran out of dumb shit to buy and hit a cap of how fast we could make money
>Never ever ever ever ever ever took the initiative to find a way to make real life cash out of it

Fuck, I was a retarded kid.
Felt good being a businessman, though.

Looking back at how it all went, it looks like something out of Narco.

Its good in terms of the main game, just as it was before, but the community really isn't what it used to be and considering that's a big thing to MMO's, its your call if you want to mingle with them.

I think they just genuinely forgot about it.

Arcanists, Miner Disturbance and Orb Defense were the fucking shit though, god damn.

you might enjoy it. it may look like 2007 runescape but it's far from it.

Pondering alching the torso

It depends.

The community is not and will never be the same after NO EXP WASTE, but if you just miss the original combat system and overall style of grinding out exp, then yeah it's still pretty good.
Just steer clear away from any of the "big" new content they add. The OSRS team is a patchwork mess full of creative hacks.

>playing castle wars
>sneak to the enemy base and climb to their flag room
>usually a bunch of barricades and people camping the entrance
>equip pic related and use the special attack

It wasn't particularly effective but god damn it was fun

Why is this thread reminding me so much of that shitty cash-grab game Adventure Quest?

How could they forget about it? They had dedicated employees for it.

>mfw Arcanists was a blatant ripoff of world
>mfw actually better and more complex than it

Because back in 2007 there was a bunch of runescape vs adventure quest videos

>Arcanists
That game was my fucking jam for a little while there. I subscribed to Funorb just so that I could get all of the spellbooks unlocked in Arcanists. Didn't give half a shit about any of the other games on there. Solid, simple turn based fun. I wonder how many people play it now, if any at all.

Do people still play cwars in 2007scape or are people too busy not wasting exp

I'm not sure if it's just old jagex bias but I swear FunOrb was made by someone who decided
>you know what
>I bet we can make better versions of literally every old pc and flash game
and they fucking did it

there is a castlewars server, but i haven't tried it yet.

only lower level ish players and some mains play it on one world (still active but not HUGE level active) just for the rewards

what is this shit

elfs and shit

I actually checked in a few times.
There's sometimes like 4-6 people, probably just a group of friends playing together once in a while.

It doesn't help that all of Funorb uses ancient versions of java and it's a fucking nightmare to get your pc to actually play the games without every security measure on your PC losing its mind.

That's a shame then. I miss gigantic battles with hundreds of people.
And I know it's totally dead on RS2 and the only people that play it just boost for the comp cape requirement

Can't you just rebuy the torso? Regardless Barb Assault was my favorite minigame. Too bad the rewards sucked and most people stopped playing after they got the torso. I don't even know if people still bother playing it now seeing how there's probably tons of armor better than the torso now

It's dead as fuck in RS3 aside from premade groups, but the torso is still a decent mid-range armor for people who can't afford bandos so there's usually enough people doing it, but it only really gets busy during prime times.

The grand exchange should have never been a centralized location and should have been accessible from any major town or city with a bank.

They should have never incentivized grinding to 99 stats by introducing skillcapes.

If these things never happened the game would have been so much better off

Welp I know I happened...stay jelly of me having something I dont even care about that you who are a big enough loser to still play runescape would suck my dick to get :)

Keep going

It all happened user, I was friends with one autistic math whizz and another pker and we felt like gods among f2p plebians. Good times, although it likely happened without many noticing despite how much I like to remember us having a "Presence". Unless you hung around at all the stops of the taxis or were in the right place at peak hour, our messages were probably lost. We gained most "customers" from forums and clans that friends were in.

yeah that didn't happen

The company who makes Worms should buy Arcanists from Jagex and make it some DLC or an actual Worms game. It was a legitimately great game.
They really did do it. I cannot think of a truly bad game on FunOrb. The forgettable ones were outnumbered by the truly great ones. I couldn't imagine having a few dedicated employees/coders and keeping up the servers cost more than the membership they got. What's insane is they're have a new game every week or two regularly but then just randomly stopped. No slow down, no news updates saying we're scaling back, nothing. I'm wondering if there were some internal politics that fucked over it.
Oh shit, I forgot about that. That was fun. Such a simple concept but it got really complex.

You didn't pay 100k, right user?

Of course I didn't, sliding puzzles are second nature to me and I love Jagex for including them

>They kill me and take the last of my cash

That's runescape for ya.
Thanks for sharing, I hope jewfriend got his just deserves.

I was too stubborn as a kid to just pay up.

Nowadays I'm pretty good at slider puzzles so that shit was barely an issue.

ice barrage is the biggest pussy shit in the game pure fucking cancer I hate it so much

I love these edits so much

If you have less than 104m firemaking experience you have 0 (zero) right to be in this thread.

I have some sort of trauma with sliding puzzles. I imagine now I'm fine at them but as I kid I remember doing them and being incapable of winning. There was this one in this old web browser disney game where you're exploring an island and it felt like hours of frustration until I completed it.

>player created, player driven and player based in game business is wildly successful and helps players and people involved alike

You have my condolences, user. Fuck the GE.

Shit, user, I wish my RS years were half as interesting as that.

The GE can eat dicks, but that escort war in the wilderness sounds dope

It's funny that he likely intentionally scammed me yet we still stayed friends. I also think he was the same guy who asked me for advice to tell to his suicidal friend, and being a christfag kid I gave him some toptier christfag advice, which apparently helped his friend out. Helping a suicidal guy out as a 10 YO was some heavy feels.

I assumed the same thing but not for THAT long.

I like that in Runescape you started as literally fucking no body. You had no destiny fuckery, no sacred path. Just some bronze shit, 25gp and a loaf of bread. You were just some guy to both the NPC and those dudes who always chilled at Lumbridge in their ridiculous fucking gear.
From their you clawed your way out of poverty. Even if you didn't get that far. even if you quit with a combat level of 50 something you were a long, long way from where you started.

I was a law rune mule for money

That is the cool thing about the RS lore, you really were just some nobody who decided to become an adventurer. Even as a legend who meets and fucks around with gods you are still just an adventurer guy.

i had a runescape gf that bought me party hats and sub fee and shit back in the day. those were the days.

The craziest stuff comes from while we were fighting the other fags in the wildy while adapting to the GE.

kek, I remember holding an award for that "Admiral" that day for his "mastery of combat and tactics" and I made like 15 noobs sit in the church as we gave him a gold necklace for his efforts.

God, we were fags.

For like the last decade the only thing I've ever done is log in for periods of about 15 minutes and slap people with the chicken, spin the yoyo in people's faces. etc. I feel like I want to do more than that but the game is really just not even the same thing anymore and even just having to use the ABYSMAL new UI makes me sort of sad. Sometimes I'll do a holiday event now and then just in the hopes they're still sort of fun, and sometimes they are I guess.
The hat/scarf/puppet christmas event was the GOAT by the way.

>tfw RS combat used to be simplw but nervewracking
>New RS is just confusing as fuck

I remember in Old RS that quest where you fight Nomad was the hardest shit and all it involved was clicking Sara brews and restores

I dont know how the fuck it plays out in new RS

You realize you can turn on the old UI, right?

Hell, you can even switch over to the old combat system. You do less damage, but it works for questing and grinding. I use it when I'm just wanting to level attack/defence/magic.

The hat/scarf/puppet christmas event was the GOAT by the way.

You could get a different marionette from the sandbox beside the trapdoor, too. I used to go to Draynor just to change the color of my marionette.

I actually paid the neighbor kid to pick flax for me when I was busy. His family couldn't afford video games and to him picking flax was this incredible experience.

Why is Runescape the only MMO with this style of skill system?

Where are all of the games that'll let me just go fishing for hours and level my fishing skill?

Where are the games that let me pop into the first room of a dungeon and farm the lowest level mobs there to level my attack skill?

Rune Factory

>Rune Factory

Fantasy Life was better

XIV scratches this itch a bit, obviously waaaaay more limited, but since you can do everything on one character it all feels connected.

A story of hope, greed and betrayal, all from player interactions in a game that's 14 years old. Turning a simple RPG into a authentic simulation of business tactic and capitalism.

Truly, RuneScape was special.

Man brings back memories. I remember taking a piss while fishing lobbies in karamja or whatever that island was called. Literally a 30 second piss, come back and I died to a random event. I was poor as shit noobie so only lost 50k, but that was a huge amount of cash for me, I was so mad.

Always logged out if I had to walk away from then on. Nowadays I have like 40mil sitting in the bank but the game sucks now.
