Rs3 really need to improve construction exactly like OSRS, not just turning it into an awful 120 skill with barely any new content

[@MechanicallyNeon]

J1mbo...this is honestly the best RS video I've ever watched. #1, the charisma. Hella. #2, this is a badass brief overview of RS history. #3, this was one hell of a nostalgia trip. I started playing RuneScape when I was in 6th grade back in 200...4? Something like that. Met my best friend through it that year or maybe the year after. I used to go on leave and crash with him for 2 weeks straight. Still do. I saw this whole debacle and it's honestly comforting to know other dudes are still out here that get it and saw it and went through the nonsense and still love this thing. I forgot a lot because I barely play anymore but some of my best memories were escaping into RunEscape with my boy with zero regard for efficiency because it just wasn't a thing. Killing moss giants or just standing in Fally West bank or some random fishing spot was the the funnest part of the game. I think I got like 30something construction on my original account that I eventually gave away and stopping the because the skill had absolutely zero point and I wasn't a big balla shot calla with the capital or dedication to get a guilded altar. Thanks, bro. Really.

Boy this brought back memories. Idk if it just wasn't part of the vid you wanted to make or no one wrote it down, but during that house party era I knew a couple of guys that basically built business empires for as long as we had free trade between players. I got involved early on working for this guy who payed noobs to make teleport tablets in his house. A 25k deposit bought you a starter kit to make 49 teleport tablets and the route was planned and explained to work for exactly 49 tablets. When you finished a job you could either cash out for 50k or take a 25k payment and another set of materials to make more tablets. After being a runner for this guy for a couple months I had enough money to train up my own construction level and build my house to be a tablet sweatshop too. I bought my soft clay and teleport runes from the 'business owner' and basically worked as a manager running my own set of workers making teleport tablets. We organized massive sales on the forums, me and the 3 or 4 other managers working for the owner, and we all made significant profit just keeping our houses open and trading with the workers. Then the trade limits were put in place and shut down the whole thing, but man it was good while it lasted. For months afterward I continued making tablets in my house to make money and train magic, but it was now RSI-inducing and required paying a butler.

The thing with wanting to teleport with the fally massacre glitch is that some people did do that, but it reset the variable that was glitched so you were no longer able to kill people.

Anyone else remember the glitch in POHs forever ago where you would sit in a chair holding a weapon, click a different weapon in your inventory, then click one of the house setting options and it would force you to stand up, only this time you were holding the second weapon how the first weapon was held?

It still urks my heart, every time EoC is brought up and the transition to it. The time leading up to it....and the time right before the petition was brought up, and then classic became a possibility. There actually was hope. But that time frame “couple months leading up to EoC - couple months until the old school RuneScape petition went live. Not sure on the exact time, but it felt like a year or two.

Coming back to OSRS and making an Iron Man is the best decision ive made with that game. I have learned so much more about the game that I never even thought I would as a normal account, and it also motivated me to get 99 in 4 different skills. (Hunter, Cooking, Firemaking, Fishing)

At a much grander scale, end big picture view of the evolution of POH is the devolution of internet culture, and individuality. Long gone are the days where everyone wanted to show off their uniqueness, letting the world know who they are. The early internet was a Wild West. Everyone had their own quirky website, everyone was uploading videos, creating content, and online social platforms were still at its infancy. This was all a new experience, a new way to connect with each other and express ourselves. Like everyone having their own websites, their own personalities in put out there for people to see, player owned houses were yet another way for people to express themselves and have fun with other people. RuneScape was all about having fun, experiencing all the quirky and cool stuff, like a giant virtual theme park. Those times are long gone as a result of us growing up, internet culture maturing and becoming more commercialized and bland, and just the overall state of the world. The mid 2000s really shined on the internet.
