We appreciate your dedication in making these video’s please do not ever stop ❤️

[@mauricebrouwers8213]

Much love for bringing this teaser up once again. I was watching and thought I had missed the event until the point where you mentioned that everyone went looking in the wilderness. at that point it hit me and I remembered the good old day of that happening

[@rswillmissit]

It's an awesome event! Glad you enjoyed it :D

[@blobviss-3367]

Was mid hardmode when the tuska teaser hit (everyone fell over), was doing smith when the dg teaser hit

I’m not 100% sure why your full rs history video got recommended to me but you have simultaneously re-sparked my interest in the game after not playing for nearly 5 years and got me playing again. Great videos man, thanks for bringing me back :)

[@elfmonster1476]

I was on when the Strange Power happened. At first I thought someone had used a weird item or spell on me, and I was like "Stop that" Then I saw everyone else also being confused, and joined in on the confusion as well.

[@DededeRS]

Great video, very nostalgic seeing all those clips again. Archeaology had a pretty cool teaser leading up to the release as well

[@DentoRuneScape]

The only one I experienced was the strange power event. And I still count myself lucky of being there. It was madness. I just became a free player again after my first month of membership. I was training smithing at the Al Kharid furnace and suddenly, there it was. Everyone went flying and it also had a creepy sound. Then, total panic began. People there went crazy and were so confused. Nobody expected for anything to happen like this at all. I remember immediately calling my friends about it that something was going to happen very soon. The players thought that something special and unannouced was starting right at that moment. Everyone knew a new skill was about to come. A lot of people were stopping what they were doing and were indeed immediately focused to get answers. The forums were indeed overloaded and I now remember that orb of oculus myth again hahahahah. Personally, I loved these teasers and it shows how curious and determined the players can be to find out the Runescape secrets. Quest teasers were very common and I remember people sharing their hints on various forums. The Darkmeyer quests were indeed loaded with teasers and it was interesting to see what slightly changed after every update to build up the update expectations. Very well done on the documentary again, I really love watching these. It is very interesting and sometimes forgotten Runescape content that is delivered in a very entertaining video!

[@rswillmissit]

Thank you so much! I was lucky to be there for all the events, though I didn't personally see any rocks fall. One of the screenshots in the video for the Strange Power was my own! I was at fishing trawler at the time, attending a community event with the Norwegian community, including the localised J-Mod Mod Sommerz. When we asked what the event was about, he only said "I have no idea ;)"... All cryptic. It was very exciting!

[@Drirton]

I've been playing since '04 and the first time I experienced an event like these was the solar eclipse for Sliske's Endgame IIRC. I love the easter eggs. I hope they don't ever stop them regardless of the community reaction. Some will hit and some will miss. But Wayne Gretsky has a quote about this sort of thing.

[@Mrtyjr]

Lmao @ 12:41 "we pay we say, and we say this sucks" 🤣

[@RealMcNartin]

I'm glad I got to see the rocks fall. That was amazing, almost everyone from the g.e came over to see if. And a pmod was there

[@Jzwiz]

There is the priff shaking teaser you get if you havnt done all elf quest too that you still get to this day

[@TheSentientsix]

I love these type of videos man. I always enjoy them. Thank you!

[@curtisss]

I have super vague memories of hearing about the periscope, I literally didn't have internet in my house at this point and heard it from an older cousin who's computer I used to play runescape

[@timmas3300]

Underrated channel, leaving a comment to boost videos.

[@rswillmissit]

[@FrumpyNuts]

Absolutely! I just found this channel! Do they mainly do Rs3 or Osrs things? I don't mind either way cause my main is on Rs3 but my current account is an iron on Osrs

[@rswillmissit]

[@drew8235]

Celebrating with the combo go pizza and champagne is the most runescape thing I've heard.

[@LieV2]

Anything after 2012 would just be expected as some random p2w micro transaction promotion.

[@Florete_FE]

I'd totally forgotten about the Runespan teaser, but I remember being there now. I thought it was really cool and was so confused when I heard that people were rioting. I was just happy I actually got to see it since I'd missed previous teasers.

[@k4rz43]

4:22 "And she also proved to be a popular teaser with the player base." Sounds kinda dirty. :P

[@arristheround9246]

Honestly I'd love to see these make a comeback. I probably would have been hyped as hell for the Sliske's Endgame thing if I were there.

[@cire420siuol]

They kinda did it with Zammy release... Only issue was that we already knew Zammy was coming, so there wasn't any mystery...

[@Arexmajen]

THAT'S WHAT THAT LAUGH IS!? SEREN!?! By all means Jagex, gg, but I have been creeped out by it for years and always forgot to look it up only for it to be something so simple.

[@bleachfan9000]

I always thought it was an out of place teaser for the Broken Home quest. Appearantly it was just an audio bug

[@Akhlis]

"2004 was a different time when people were spreading rumors about pikablu and mewthree" indeed that was a different time as I have heard from others I can't say I remember it cuz I was born 4 years later but I have heard from several others about those times

[@zalz]

man i was hoping the ghost elf child would of been a new update, gives you wonder of what it is and also kinda creeps you out

[@randy5606]

They could do an event like rift had. There was a world-wide battle that started where you had to defend the city and then kill the leader. Something like that would get people fired up. But I want something like this on osrs

[@DripsOne]

"stupid o´ clock in the morning"

[@cscjb]

Some odd ambient noises going on around Rimmington still.

[@Aberrantly]

Jagex should have taken the laughing ghost girl bug and turned it into some future content. It could have been used for that year's Halloween event, for an example. A secret title given to the first person to not only find the by then actual npc in-game, but by completing a list of tasks that gets progressively harder (and more deadly) as you check it off. Howbeit in order to find her, you must meet several rather big requirements (have obtained the Completionist and Master Quest Cape) as you accidentally let loose the little ghost girl when you replayed Broken Home. What lies comp knowledge, on her to-do list is a set of fearsome monsters that you must besten but without using and by exactly using specific set of items. Upon completion, you would be rewarded with the title "The Apparitionist" (changing colour depending on time of day-works with skyboxes) along with a set of ghostly apparel that can in fact turn you invisible (doesn't work in wildy or any other pk-related locations of course) as well as unlocks all previously unowned ghostly robes. Furthermore you would get a pet in the shape of the little girl but turned into her freed form, whereas if you talked to her she would start laughing as she did in the Tower of Voices, but it would fade this time and ultimately turn into her crying. If you however hand her the 'creepy doll' from Mod Ryan's Trading Sequence, then she would turn back into herself and start giggling and laughing again. You would at this point be able to talk to her about how she died in the first place, and get to know about her previous life and family.

I dislike how the community turned on Jagex for cool reveals and sneakpeeks, totally annoying. I know for a fact that people just wanted free shit, and when they got nothing, even though content updates and stuff are free, aside from the membership paid every month. So sad, cause Jagex, compared too a lot of these big companies these days, are actually one of the only good companies left in the gaming world.

[@rswillmissit]

The community tends to believe we know what we want... I don't think that's the case, and it really shows through this.. :P

Dude i forgot all about the red mist happening

[@Lewufuwi]

Today I learned that the periscope thing wasn't a hoax... I remember back in the day youtube was mad with videos of it and people saying it was Sailing being teased, but everyone wrote it off as a hoax As I was relatively young and very low level, I wasn't involved in questing or anything like that, so I never actually realised it was solved as being a quest... So to this day, I thought it was a hoax. Wow.

Jamflex has been terrified of updates since EoC. Basically the whole reason osrs community voting exists and why the rs3 content team is so active on social media and the forums. No more fuck ups. They will still fuck up balancing, the report system, and overbearing microtransactions but all the content itself has been pretty legit.
