Old RuneScape Soundtrack: Principality

[@vampires4life242]

One of the first of many songs we heard when we became members and stepped beyond the "members gate"

[@Saltiren]

Right you are, what a time. I'd like to play OSRS yet I know it ultimately isn't the same game we played when we were younger.

[@cupiano9059]

Saltiren was a lot more than I did

[@kvnd7331]

only if you went north from the gate. I went straight across white wolf mountain and walked either to the gnome stronghold to do agility or castle wars, can't remember which

[@CarboKill]

@@Saltiren It's still fun, I recommend it. The new content isn't that bothersome, and most people come round to it after they've had their fill of nostalgia

[@cool101cholo]

Damn forreal? I never got to be a member 😔. I never got to feel that joy.

[@yesman456]

I completely forgot about this one. This has unlocked a memory stored in the deep part of my brain. 0.o

[@redking36]

How could you forget AoG, man? FunOrb didn't die for this!

[@ZenDonn]

Best track of them all, this was my quest and motivation track , nostalgia is real with this 💓

[@DentoRuneScape]

I completely forgot I liked this comment a very long time ago. I also now unlocked a memory stored in a deep part of my brain, lmao

[@literatemax]

@@DentoRuneScape see you all again in another 5 years

[@deminisis]

Ah Funorb... Arcanists was my favorite game. Steel Sentinels and Dungeon Assault were good too.

[@lordcaedus8713]

I remember first getting membership in 2008ish and exploring northwards past the members gate for the first time. This track started playing, and I saw the soldiers training in sync to the beat. Since then, this has been my favorite RS track.

[@greyghost2492]

heh its funny reading this comment cuz I remember experiencing the exact same thing back when I got membership for the first time in 2019, but in OSRS.

[@pandymandy]

I loved how when you first became a member you forgot to realise there would be new music just as much as new world, and it was a world-shattering experience all of its own. Principality rocks.

[@Ocelllian2]

Yes, AOG. I was members and have literally every achievement on that game except for 2. Tons of great memories from there too.

[@aur.consurgens]

Holy shit, what a banger, I was literally rocking back and forth in my chair through the whole song.

I miss clean Runescape :(

[@MegaChickenfish]

I'll take this Burthorpe over Noobsville any day.

[@westside3099]

Freak 😂🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@warlocksarewatching]

I used to think everyone who was alching in the bank was so cool. Never learned how to high alch until I picked up the game years later. By that time, however, the game was almost in the RS3 stage. It's never been the same. I'm glad that Jagex is developing as a company and hiring new people who are really passionate about the game, even if the product can take some awkward turns.

[@mikul9204]

Play old school runescape it's great

[@madsulrik5rs]

it was cool on release and a few years after that. the only thing old school about it now is the graphics. gameplay and style is far from the same as the real 07scape.

[@twinkstance]

@@madsulrik5rs because of inexapable powercreep and progression. Tho i think they managed to stretch it as long as they could! They are doing great work keeping the game alive while remaining enough oldschool for me.

[@AmeriCHAD]

dang, I haven't played osrs in nearly two years now, did anything significant change in the meantime? is it worth getting back into?

[@twinkstance]

@@AmeriCHAD ye its alot of fun! you will love it haha trust me! they stay very oldschool even with the new items and stuff. game gets better and better!

[@Nostogi]

ARMIES OF GIELINOR.

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

+Nostogi You don't remember Burthorpe before it replaced Lumbridge? THE SOLDIERS SPEAKING LATIN?

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

+Nostogi You want to fight me on AoG?

[@redking36]

Except that game had a different version of this song that was more instrumental. Good times, though. Too bad Funorb is dead.

[@Seetigermage1]

John Salame Same thoughts here, man.

[@Lightscribe721]

Underrated banger. Sea Shanty 2 can go French kiss an angle grinder.

[@Xilorn]

now burthope is like some sick amusement park

[@007kingifrit]

not in osrs

[@JiltedPecan]

@@007kingifrit 10 years later XD

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

I want to play Armies of Gielinor now! Sad that lobby is always empty! Someone reply me, I take any challenge!

[@tuigopfiets]

+Derrick Liu Add me in game - Stom

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

+Emre Sarikaya I tried to login to AOG, but the server is not working, is it down or what.

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

+KK S I vaguely remember your name, I think I might beat you before. Not sure if AoG will ever be revived. *sigh*

[@KiwiImpactSaint]

+KK S I can login AoG now, what time you are normally on? I can add you.

[@tuigopfiets]

Now

[@Equites279]

This actually might be one of my favorite songs from the game

[@Aurjelling]

I like this theme, kinda catchy as well as nostalgic.

[@kendilambert58]

This song slaps

[@VoltismProductions]

Best song in runescape for me Has that mystical, magical ring to it

[@HRHooChicken]

I actually managed to play a game of connect 4 in Burthorpe games room once. I can't remember if i won or lost, but for some reason I didn't like playing. It felt weird to play against people even though i quite enjoy connect 4

[@foreignwarsnoobnstuf]

armies of gielinor as well! i would sit there for hours swarming enemies with mages i wouldn't get any rating because i was f2p but it was insane amounts of fun

[@Demonfox343]

I remember the first time I went into Burthope before the updates. I remember going around then finally finding the Warriors Guild which drove me to raise my combat skills dramatically.

[@JamesHardt]

This is amazing, that nostalgia

[@O97TheRevenator]

I remember going to Burthrope and found the agility/thieving thing down there. Have some good memories trying to get rouge.

[@ruslannabiev2399]

This is so nice.

[@edelweiss6634]

Fuck, man, so many memories... I quit this game 7 years ago. People suggesting me these types of things makes me feel sad. RuneScape was one of the few places I felt like I belonged, but it was around 2010-2011 when it all started changing.

[@shinji1264]

I don't play anymore quit in 2012 but it will always be one of my old homes 💜

[@michaellk2254]

BEST SONG OF RS. HENDS DOEWN

[@_Dio_Brando_69]

Ahh inject into my veins that burthorpe beauty, yessss yesss

[@tmtaown8047]

I remeber in 2003 i was 5 years old and my cousin made me account and i was like 2 week in turtoria island.

[@garebear72]

still listening to this in 2022 lol help

[@2006Scape420]

I love your vids.

[@Zetamaxorg]

Ah Armies of Geilinore :P That's like the only thing I think off while listening to this song.

[@OkapiHerder]

I hum this tune at work often

[@Dragokin98]

Ahh, AoG, so much nostalgia.

[@shoblette961]

I started playing not long before death plateau came out. I remember there being a beach north of the hero's guild. When death plateau came out it was like... this whole new place, it was so cool. I found a bug where if you stood behind the guard in the palace he wouldn't hit you back. I'd kill him over and over for mith warhammers. pretty sure i got 30 attack there lol.

[@Jacob-Pilling]

first slayer mission, kill 15 minitours, oh no... i'm only level 15!!

[@joltedjon]

Who else tries to sync these songs with the newer versions to and listen to them at the same time XD

[@OrbVideo]

AoG =)

[@АртурОрлов-я6ь]

AoE 1 :D

[@007kingifrit]

on the way to the game's room

[@erikergon4951]

makes me think of burthorpe

[@galaxian23]

that trumpet at 0:39 sounds so cheeky

[@blight1934]

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THEY SHUT DOWN ARMY OF GIELINOR!? Me: being ear-rape by thousands of Saradomin owls dying!

[@joltedjon]

I feel like you could make this almost exactly in minecraft noteblocks.

[@liamb135]

You could make a fairly good Minecraft version of most songs created with GM. The only problems is that Minecraft noteblocks can only produce 5 sounds and can't sustain notes.

[@galaxian23]

wondering why the games room is underneath a place that has a bunch of soldiers next to a mountain full of trolls and a underground maze filled with rotating blades and spikes

[@colgabister4429]

It was a hard decision between this and pinball wizard but burthorpe is the winner. So many memories

[@McOuchies]

Now Burthorpe and Taverly is a lost laberinth, god it's so easy to get lost in there nowadays!

[@Ksgamer103]

Reminds me of playing armies of Gielinor

[@mopses]

Man who remembers Armies of Gilenor.

[@cryptofierce7431]

BURTHOPE!!!!!

[@wackey2k10]

Fun Orb, luls. So fun.

[@Aedren]

I rember that there wasn't even anything of Burthorpe. No trolls to attack! :(

[@Crrruuissinn]

0:50 to 1:06 is the best part

[@Nostogi]

Armies of Gielinor.

[@soundpromaster]

This sounds way different than the actual in-game version

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

At some point around 2007 Jagex changed the soundfont. This is pre-change. I remember being pretty angry about it when I was single-digits age.

[@Goldenleyend]

If you want the ones in osrs I'm pretty sure they're on the wiki

[@MrExoticSnow]

No no no, there some dangerous enemies + a hardcore agility course.

[@InquisitorEden]

Oh Riibe Oh robbie Oh robbie !! you've been such a bad girl.

[@Harvstermysterinator]

I went to train my skills really hgh for the warriors guild, then the update came out when I finally reached the levels :(

[@Piranesi-gc8gn]

Man that evolution of combat must have been a bad decision buisness wise.. All the hype and then something that was so radically different, took the balance from the game and arguably some of the enjoyability and turned it almost into a different game.

[@Crabbadabba]

Runescape was always a bit of a meh "game" but a very cool experience in the way that it was the player base, sense of progression, and the uniqueness of the world which gave it a lot of charm. Once the progression was messed with beyond repair it was kind of a done deal due to the game getting a little stale because of the grind and the odd balance between the "Role player" aspect and the actual game mechanics which were somewhat boring compared to other hot MMOs at the time like World of Warcraft (and the rise of polished online games). The team went over their heads a bit and attempted to capitalize on the success with too many knee jerk additions. Simply put, I don't think the team was expecting or ready to deal with the maintenance that was Runescape 2.

[@Piranesi-gc8gn]

@@Crabbadabba I think it wasn't meh it's an acquired taste but I agree with a lot. I wonder how much of the staff were changed along the way as the vision was changed so much after 2010..

[@Crabbadabba]

@@Piranesi-gc8gn I don't like the word meh but I don't know what other word to describe it. It just wasn't exceptional on anyone one element, hence "meh". But the sum of the elements was far better than meh and once you reached that realization it was really rewarding and engrossing. However, things like pacing felt kind of sluggish especially when you didn't use a guide. I think the pacing feels the way it is because of the amount of knowledge you have to know and not the amount of interactivity that goes on. You're just clicking on stuff most of the time usually not in a rhythmic way, so combat feels more like rolling the dice than a coordination button mashing twitch fest. PKers and boss battles are a little different but still, the input feels less instantaneous when compared to games like WoW. I remember there being talk about the staff wanting to compete with WoW at the time or at the very least being inspired by their success (EoC was a copy of WoW's combat system.) Definitely wasn't a good change. So yeah the staff was most likely undergoing changes as well as the company structure, with older employees leaving as well.

[@Senriam]

@@CrabbadabbaI don’t think you ever made it to the endgame

[@Crabbadabba]

@@Senriam The “end” game as in the end of the game where you know how to get everything efficiently and just strive to hoard ridiculous amounts of stuff isn’t very fun to me. I also don’t think the game developers ever thought people would be having fun 3-ticking, grinding the absolute hell out of things. I never played for that, I played for the adventure, the (meaningful and sensible) grind, and I’ve gotten 99 slayer. I’ve done most of all the quests, done many of the mini-games, I’d say I was playing the sensible end game, not the completely maxed out click fest mind rot that people ended up doing but hey maybe they really enjoyed that part and more power to them.

This is not the official.. it sucks now Seriously, every song that is now in RS3 sucks balls, real classic soundtracks are the best

+Natalia Poklonskaya Queen of Crimea animal apogee is very good

[@JohnDoe-pt1pk]

+Dutch Greek well that's not fair i prefer the classic tracks myself but the music in rs3 is beautifully orchestrated don't discount that because you like these versions more

does anyone know where i can find the "original"?
