Rare Pictures of 2006 RuneScape (Part 2)

[@AndrewAJT]

Thank you all so much for watching and happy holidays to all! Here is the full playlist for the series, which now includes Part 3! kzbin.info/aero/PLT5RndsXnGr3QVZ7sFh_kIbf0YaA0qVzz

[@2hufranku875]

Thank you Moe and Andrew for making this timeless nostalgia, I hope our kids can find happiness in this game as well

[@Egolithz]

Thank you for the nostalgia and thank Moe for providing the pictures

[@marcohickey1945]

seeing these old friend names on here nostalgia so many don't play anymore.

[@trippsmclovin]

God those pest control pictures remind me of how cake it was back then. Getting more xp than you could've got from grinding gorillas for 8 hours in 3 hours.

[@CrayCow]

Runescape so old we need runescape historians

[@michaelt9266]

The way the majority of the playerbase was collectively clueless back then, also the fact that everyone was pretty young really added to the sense of adventure every time you logged on. It's just a different game when you know exactly to expect as you efficiently grind out skills/PVM these days.

[@blight1934]

When I started doing hunter in 2008, I was clueless as well, I put on camouflage thinking it would improve the hunting experience (like better trap success rate or evade). something like that.

[@AdrianGK47]

@@blight1934 I remeber a rumour (that people told as fact) that the Hunter clothes hid your scent as if you smoked your traps, so you wouldn't have to smoke your traps anymore and that would be the boost the gear gives you. And only if it's the right gear for the right area too

[@FlyingCanoe]

[@Unpulumpa]

@@FlyingCanoe Big same. I stayed at magics from 75-99 w48. Met some cool ass people there.

[@Outwardpd]

I think the main thing was the limitations of the internet back then, this was when a significant portion of the world was clueless about the internet as a whole and dial-up was the standard. Dial-up... where you would open a youtube link in 360p and wait 20-30 minutes before watching the video lmao. So imagine people trying to look up guides or better yet make them, the transfer of information was so slow, this was even pre-friend's chats so a lot of the most common ways we learn about stuff didn't exist. It wasn't long after this that people increased massively in efficiency right around when DSL started to take over as the standard for internet briefly before cable. Around 2008 people were already gravitating towards efficiency quite a lot.

[@Egolithz]

Love these videos, takes me back to a day where Runescape was more of a social game rather than a stats grind game

[@JonnyBotz1]

I remember when they first released skill capes, no matter what task you were doing in the game if you saw a new skillcape you would drop what you were doing and just beg to see the emote.

[@HRHooChicken]

People did know to kill the spinners first. What happened back then was all the high levels would move to a secret world and blitz through a PC game in about 40 seconds. They were so powerful they didn't need to kill spinners. No portal shields back then and only one boat for everyone. I remember if you were a high enough level, youd trade the guy advertising the secret world and he'd put up a number of coins referring to the world to hop to

[@dentyo5238]

Holy shit, I COMPLETELY forgot about that trade thing! Woooow. Good times lol

[@MasterMercher]

My friend was high enough and then he'd just pm me the world lol. I was like 104 cb

[@kylerowland1227]

dude the trade thing! haha fucking great. thanks for the memories

[@n4ruto1k4]

Nutz for PC and heartbeat were the two big PC clans. 110+ worlds. Heartbeat use to use the heart prayer thing during there runs

[@iBiiRd]

I personally used to join PC IRC channels using SwiftKits built in IRC function. A bot would spam the PC world every few minutes and with all the high level accounts this was the most efficient way of training your (combat) skills. I remember making a mil each 2 days just from winning PC games. They did change PC back then which resulted in a lot less xp per hour as everyone had moved to PC to gain exp. Lol, imagine PC being your main source of income in-game. Edit: this is when they changed it: secure.runescape.com/m=news/pest-control-update

[@alexanderlp8641]

Dragon longs were as frequent as whips back then. People didn’t have the slayer requirements, and also didn’t know how to do monkey madness for d scims so both were considered very rare.

monkey madness was considered hard af as a kid. doing it now as an adult its so easy. everyone was a kid playing runescape back then. ended up not doing mm til like 2007 or so. just kept going with my d long til i finally got that whip.

[@KidzOnDidz]

This is the runescape and community I miss back then. All everyone cares about now is how much exp p/h they can get.

[@youcanttouhme8955]

Kidz On Didz thought the same , back than people played more for fun , nowadays Its all about exp And money

[@Egolithz]

Back then it was something special to do events/quests as we didn't know what to do. We had to interact with other players that became friends and would go on medieval adventures with them. I miss those days....

[@Adrian.Christ]

I have a lot of nostalgia for it too, but if we're being honest, the community back then was mostly just a product of the average player being like 13 lol. As a grown ass 26 year old adult, I don't have much interest in flexing fasionscape and using the banks as chat rooms when ccs are a thing. I do think that osrs is seriously missing out on a lot of casual community based content though

[@MichaelChiklisCares]

grown up brain is different, it changes eventually, the perspective of playing.

[@ape69420]

Yeah old community was fun everyone was talking now you just walk past each other. Since the GE came out the activities went down. I had such nostalgia when osrs07 came out without GE.

I just wanna say this series is awesome. I miss RS06 so badly, I would trade any game to play it again. No GE, actual character interactions, the noobs, the pros, the shitty UI, just everything man. I don't think we'll ever get to return to these days and it's really sad, but at the same time I'm glad we got to experience this game during its (in my opinion) golden age and these pictures do a great job showcasing that.

[@leoisforevercool]

I know this comment is a year old, but I just wanted to say that I hung around the g.e. in world 1 today and found that there is a lot of messing around and socializing going on in that world

[@morimoko]

I don't know why they voted it in, I found out about OSRS right before the vote, fell in love with the game again, and then the GE vote happened, i didn't think much of it at first, but within about a week i remembered why I quit back in 07. I don't know why the playerbase wanted it, the Trading post was more then enough to function and give player interaction.

[@amawlood]

I’m 24 now.. but looking back at when this was 2006. I had my first RS girlfriend and we would always chat on “pal talk” whenever we weren’t on RS. She later introduced me to one of her IRL “friends” on RS and he was a higher level than me and he has a dragon dagger (P) which was the first time that I had ever seen one. Out of jealousy. 11 year old me started grinding more and I did Lost city and then got my own dragon dagger. Good... times..

[@randomator3s]

The guides for hunter back then suggested to wear certain outfits for certain areas to camouflage, and to smoke the traps for increase capture rate .

[@MrKrikshels]

Commentary is so on point on both of the parts, enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you for the video, bro.

When you were talking about the player interaction at 3:55, I was a miner, smither & merchant who would get requests to mke things all the time, when the trade limits and then the GE came about all that went away and I went from playing all the time to just logging in occasionally to skill a bit. it really killed it for me.

[@DamnlmEvil]

Anybody remember rune essence running? I remember getting 10k per inventory and thinking I was getting sooo rich!

[@johnteds4761]

Matt Stashin I made gp by mining pure essence and running it to the law altar on entrana. The law crafters would wear teal robes. I would die and lose my tune plate then do it all over again.

[@timmy3441]

I spent a few days going to f2p worlds and hiring essence runners from fally east bank to run to and from the air altar and I'd pay them 2k per run - I ended up having a whole army of noobs who thought they were getting rich from it. Some genuinely couldn't believe that I would give them 2k for a run, haha . They ended up telling others that I was doing it as they ran through the bank and soon enough, just by word of mouth, I had a whole legion of f2p players lining up to give me ess at the altar. One night I was even up til 4am on a school night because I didn't want to lose the army of essence runners that I'd spent all night building! Why did I do this, you ask? I wanted to get 65 runecrafting to see if the rumours about the "you can now craft death runes" message were true. Before death runecrafting was even put into the game, the messages for crafting deaths at 65 and bloods at 77 were still in the game, which was nuts. When the abyss released I actually ended up getting 91 rc too in mid-2006, all my friends at school were sitting there chopping magic logs for cash while I was rcing double nats, lol

[@TBAYMenace]

@@timmy3441 wanna know how I know you're lying? Runecrafting was a members skill

[@Sena-pi]

Fun fact, skilling was designed with the mindset that one one will train above lv40. That they will just give up. That's why the xp brackets was so outrageous. RS was designed to be primary a social together. Basically a more fun version of facebook. It was never made to be what it is today. RS was created in the dude's mom's basement. Recorded him mom cooking bacon for the bacon sound.

[@Icycrits]

You're so right about the GE, I've said it for years. Yes, the convenience is nice but it completely changes the game. People always complain about EfficiencyScape, yet voted for the GE as their favorite update in OSRS. It completely killed the need for player interaction. I still remember when I joined a coal mining company to be able to sell my coal easily in 2005-2006, behind falador east bank. Hell, I still remember the name of the player, yet I can't remember half of the people on my friend's list right now. If you're out there Sir Yakalot, thanks for helping me afford my first set of rune. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing this with the community.

[@Egolithz]

I vote we have a separate world that would be a fresh account and wouldn't have the convenience of the GE to trade. Make player interaction occur

When hunter came out people did think you had to camo yourself to increase your chances of catching stuff. I remember getting yelled at that i was scaring polar kebbits away because i had a D skirt and fighter torso on.

[@LugiaLvl138]

In 2007, I soloed the Kalphite Queen, usually taking 2 trips per kill. I ended up soloing a D Chain worth 15m at the time, and put it towards 99 Prayer. D Bones were 1.3k each.

[@freshmilk980]

It's funny and sad at the same time that the difference between RS2 back in the day and OSRS today is very much like the difference between childhood and adulthood itself … Many people feel so nostalgic about what the game used to be and kind of wish we could go back to that style of playing (not caring about efficiency or really understanding how everything in the game was calculated, etc.) but we just can't because we've all grown up and everything -- even this computer game -- is so high-pressure now. The game is still fun, but in a seriously different way. It would be cool if younger kinds would play and get to have the same experiences we did back in the day but I feel like most people aren't interested in this game unless they already knew about it as a kid

[@MakotoTheKnight]

These are some strong nostalgia feels. Makes me regret losing all of the old images I had back from '06-'09.

[@Anthony-qu7qd]

I think the continuance of the game was something that a lot of us missed from games thereafter. Quests, merching, items, just exploring and being a dumb noob these were all things we did and drew experiences from. Runescape was a place where we met up with friends and made new ones along the way, the game had a distinctly janky and enduring medieval feel and it was something magical as a kid. I wish i could go back and do it all over again, talk to friends i haven't in years but you can't uncook an egg and you certainly can't have the same experience twice.

[@stevenmason1052]

I have so many memories I can share and the impressiveness of peoples achievements back then, I'm so glad you stressed just how difficult it was for everyone, people had to really figure out the game.

This video gave me a lot of nostalgia, and reminded me a lot of how I'd be playing this game with my bedroom door wide open, listening to all of my family talk and laugh while we all waited for the turkey to finish. I still debate on playing this game again, even to this day. It's just not the same anymore like it was when I was younger. It's still nice to think about it and reminisce though. Yeah?

[@jacoba4246]

Reid Gray amen, brother.

[@theinternetexplorer7689]

Yeah the games not the same anymore and theres no point in going back tbh. But it is nice to look back at the good memories :))

I discovered Runescape in the early 2007. It was an eyeopener for me. I was in love! This game has made me learn so much about other people and myself over the years. I still play today. When I started playing when I hadn't even had English in school. I had to learn myself, because I was really sucked into the game. A lot of times I wrote down words for my mom to read, so she could tell me what it said.

14:27 someone called "b3ast mast3r" and to think that now in rs3 we do have a beastmaster boss, nice

[@depaus9461]

Eduardo Millan true, still never killed that boss tbh

[@theinternetexplorer7689]

One of the things i miss the most about the old runescape is when someone would die their stuff would appear right away. It doesn't even matter if you die nowadays but back then dying was a big deal

[@zylle1993]

Hell yea, i remember dieng with my black mask, whip and barrows gear, i was devastated.

[@Outwardpd]

Yeah this is actually an issue these days I think, tons of item inflation cause items almost never leave the game. I kind of wish they would remove the 1hr to retrieve your items situation. Would make bossing a lot more interesting and make a lot of items more viable.

[@theinternetexplorer7689]

@@Outwardpd Good point. That probably does cause inflation. Plus, remember back in the day it was an adrenaline rush to do almost anything because you didnt want to die and lose all your stuff? If they brought back the old way it was it really would make osrs a lot more interesting and also more fun to play

[@Argentpaws]

Remember back when we would grab the best gear we could find to go PKing, no pures or meta just noob fun , those were the golden days.

[@Valcreee]

Thanks for letting me relive my childhood middle school days

Pretty sure Paulrat3 at 4:43 is the same Paulrat 3 on osrs who is ranked 1 for crafting

[@gregariousgaming6265]

it is, he's always been one of the top ranking players. surprised not as many people remember him :P

[@marcusnorman2721]

2:43 G00w was the leader of the clan I was in (FoM), he left our clan when he and his girlfriend were hired by Jagex, Mod Benny was his name, wow what a blast from the past.

[@motorcycleislife8296]

If I remember correctly dragon boots weren't out yet. Which is why so many people had rune boots.

[@AndrewAJT]

Motorcycle Mayhem That’s correct, dragon boots came out with the god wars dungeon

[@christophermcdonald2483]

Yep and rune boots came from Abby demons I beleive

He's right the ge does take away player interaction which is sad because it's all efficiency these days and not about making friends.

ge gave us too much info too easily. it really changed the game, possibly for the worse. i remember going to F2P worlds and hiring iron workers. once the GE came my iron workers would just sell to the GE, of course for more money than i was offering them.... i miss being an iron ore pimp...

[@gamewithadam7235]

@@newjackhustler77 That's a nice story.

[@niveous5392]

GameWithAdam I agree but at the same time scamming was at its highest before the GE so no thanks

I will never forget spending the entire weekend picking 38k flax for my first whip back when flax was 100 ea. I thought I was the dopest kid out picking them all under the bank in gnome stronghold too 😂 people would stop and be like “wtf there’s flax here?” such great memories~

[@IHUNTMAINS]

Also what's crazy is how this guy managed to record in such good quality. Most PK videos from 2006 didn't look this clear.

[@geradgerardus4073]

I remember cutting trees for a guy that was a member and lvling his fletching. Great old times. And yes you made friends and contacts like that back then.

[@joshdaniel1842]

I played since the end of classic.. crazy how far the game has came!

[@pawelmorrison]

As a RS vet and a former BMX enthusiast I`m getting a double nostalgia load in here. The guys name is Hoffmanbmx, Hoffman was a big BMX company back in the day, I remember playing runeScape and watching hoffman bmx videos on youtube after school. Oh man. Hey on the positive side, Im playing OSRS and watching AndrewAJT on youtube, stuck homeoffice thansk to the quarantine lol

[@Nick-tb8ee]

Those "A claw" pics @ pest control @ 11:14 were taken while A claw was going for 200m attack. he did this through pest control and I believe was the first person to any combat 200m exp stat

[@rogerdelicbo9696]

Its been 2 years. Couldnt thank you enough chief

[@mvffyn_2]

i've been playing off and on since... '04? this is just crazy to see how much it's changed as i get back into it again now in 2019.

[@woutertje026]

Nice old nostalgic footage, very reconizable. I sadly thrown away my old HDD with the pc itself, had a lot of screenshots of 2006-2009.

[@SuperRobotwarrior]

So many gems in this video. Love it!
