1 hour of my life was well spent watching my childhood replay all over again.

[@belstar1128]

It was fun at first but i cringed knowing all the mistakes made by jagex after 2010.

Same here, nostalgic seeing the 2nd tutorial quest (can't remember specific name, with the dragon) and realizing my first ever taste of rs was 9 years ago in 2009...

[@FishFind3000]

Famoouse I’m trying to pin point when I first started and it was for sure at 07 or before so from 05-07 is where I was. I think I was in late 05 early 06. So it’s been 13-14 years... I haven’t been playing that whole time but the memory’s of my childhood will always remain.

What a nostalgia trip. I remember finding out about Runescape on Miniclip back in November of 2004, 1 year after I moved into the UK. I didn't know English so the game really helped me learn English. I still remember the Free World Trading and Wilderness being taken away. Used to play this game everyday after secondary school. Everyone did. Still come back to this game every so often. You never truly quit Runescape, just have a relapse.

[@TylerMcVeigh1]

This takes me back man. I started a couple of months after RS2 dropped when a friend mentioned it to me in school. It was such a different game back them. If you wanted to buy something specific you had to go to specific banks around the map just to even be talking to the right crowd otherwise you had to hold up around the west Varrock bank and hope your message would be seen over the hundred or so people there. You also just had to know the prices of items since the GE didn't exist and there wasn't an active in game database with prices. It's hard to imagine having to play the game without the GE now.

this is the most accurate/best video ever made displaying what happend during the years i began playing late 2004 and i've seen every single update ever since i withnessed basicly everything you saw in this video i stuck around for so long because i didnt had any other game to play at the time but then counter strike became a thing and i left runescape for that to play scoutknifez/gun game zombie mode all that taking a very long break from runescape till one day i saw on the forums Runescape oldschool... YOU DECIDE! bro never in my life was i so dedicated to spread the news and the day it passed and it got released you bet i spended every penny i had from rs3 to get a bond/play only oldschool runescape from that point onward as of now i never logged back in runescape 3 and i never will again because to me that's just a whole another game. i dont even know how it looks like if you asked me a question about it all i know is i had 99 RC Firemaking and 94 fletching but that's about it. spend all my rs3 cash on bonds so i was like 2 years member best update ever btw. bonds are amazing but yes thank you will for making this video brought back some awesome memories.

I got back into OSRS at age 30 after being gone for years. I started doing more digging into RS because I spent a large amount of my mid childhood into highschool playing RS. Seeing this timeline, I never realized I was so early into it. I started shortly after it hit miniclip when I went back to school and learned of the game. The rest is history.

2010 and the beginning of 2011 were the best years of RuneScape. RIP

[@Sedgehun]

Agreed.. loved those 2 years so much. Also when I started

I'd tried to work out and remember my playing timeline from back then, this video helped. I think my most played time was 2001 to 2003, but I definitely came back periodically, a lot of the stuff mentioned after I didn't really even know about, I missed a lot and always carried on in my old ways and fell behind. I didn't realise how expansive this game got over the years. I wasn't use to games growing and expanding back then. It was pretty radical in that way.

This game will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, Runescape.

I wish runescape old school had everything up to 2010. Just realised how much I miss dungeoneering and summoning

Alba Gu Brath well just play rs3?

[@CalumOH]

@@craigforsyth9149 i dont like the newer styles of armour. Also dont like the microtransactions and how empty it is. It doesn't feel like runescape. The osrs with the hd graphics with summoning and dungeoneering would be perfect. Pretty much pre-eoc was runescape in its prime. I find it stupid that the osrs devs limit themselves to the 2007 design.

[@hohhoch3617]

@@CalumOH Blame that on the players. There have been 3 attempts(?) to add new skills to the game, all of which have failed. Not all of the players seem to grasp that stale content is dead content, and if the game doesn't change, it will die.
