Yeah seriously. I am total lvl 2073 atm (highest I've ever had, I finally surpassed my rs3 total from before EOC :D), and I've only now started to think about MAYBE maxing one day lol ... Got half the capes and the other stats are 70 & 80+. I don't play that much nowadays, so I'll be glad if I can max in +- 3years (when I hit 30 xd). Not sure if I'll ever do it, because I'm great at starting things and not so much at finishing. However I started rs at 11, and still playing frequently at 27 (with some breaks here and there ofcourse), so I'm keeping my hopes up. Would honestly be sick if I got it one day, but if not, then i'll still be happy with my account's achievements c: And the huge nostalgia is already a win on its own imo. Have a good day!~

[@nedopking]

I miss this game so much. Thinking back to playing it in 2005-2008 are so many incredible memories where I was so happy and excited to be alive. I so badly want to return to it and relive those memories and experience new ones, but every time I play again, I am so disappointed of what I am presented with. There is no longer any mystery to the game. I miss exploring the world of RuneScape with my friends, learning new training tactics and debating others about what the best training methods are. And then when I moved on to the pking scene, I missed there being tons of different account builds with no one truly understanding what they are doing. I miss taking breaks from training and pking to explore and take part in games like castle wars with friends. Even though the game has grown a lot since 2005 in terms of content that is available, it feels like it has shrunk immensely because most of the content now is dead content. I feel like I can't let go of RuneScape because of the strong impact it has had on my life and I always find myself wanting to return, but every time I do, there is nothing there to keep me playing because the game has so much less to offer me than it once did. I miss RuneScape and am not sure I will ever find anything like it again. It was an incredibly unique experience to have been able to play it in the mid 2000s.

[@maikawasumi1256]

You will never find anything like this. It's not the games that changed so much, it's us. I could use your whole post and swap a few words and it would reflect how I feel about Guild Wars Prophecies. Or how my girlfriend feels about WoW. The awe and mystery is gong. Post Information Society will catalogize everything a game has to offer within a few hours and construct a whole wiki, as seen with New World, which hat the game understood to its bare bones, before it even released. I think it's important to be thankful, that we had the ability to play in the mid 2000s, where everything was different. Those days won't come back. That all said it's still possible to have fun. Just ackknowledge that this part of gaming will never return. Just like you will never see LOTR for the first time. But the thirteenth time is still fun. Or the fiftyth time.

[@dantefilms3170]

It’s true, I tried to quit. I took about a 2 month break and I’m hooked again. You never stop playing RuneScape, you just take breaks

[@TrackOnStay]

Only way to quit is to ask jagex to disable your account and then really focus on doing the stuff you needed/wanted to quit for. You most likely will never come back and even if you do want to come back for a minute, the fact that you'll have to start all over again and lost everything you worked for should be enough of a reminder to why you decide to quit in the first place.

[@climjark8055]

ive been playing runescape since late 2001- early 2002. I watched it grow from Classic, with "Classes" before tutorial island came out. Back when you had to sleep in a bed to clear the fatigue so you can get more XP. Back when Woodcutting acted like how Mining does in OSRS. I have played OSRS , and RS3. It has most of my life. It is a piece of me. I will never forget the countless nights of just running barrows back with slayer/magic dart, i remember my first attempt at KBD with full rune, and the anti-dragon shield. I remember back when Castle Wars first was released, and not being able to play it until i was given members for my birthday in 2005. I couldnt recommend a better game.

[@bnsyphotography2104]

Remember playing this a lot as a kid in the early 2000s. My brother hogged the computer most of the time, and played it with his mates from school. Remember going to school and asking your friends if they were jumping on runescape tonight. Then you'd get home, do your homework, then jump on. Good times.

[@samisuhonen9815]

Fuuuuuck the old login screen music you had in your intro... It always makes me tear up, completely overwhelmed by a wave of nostalgia, excitement, and a sense of something truly epic that I can not explain. It still brings to be a flashback to the time I was a mere 5 or 6 years old at my grandpa's new PC back in 2005, when his neighbor's kid 4 years older than me, showed me RuneScape. That music made an immediate impression. This was something different. This was no lego Star Wars on gameboy. This was no ordinary browser game off miniclip. This wasn't dad's formula 1 game. I was completely immersed and taken over by RuneScape. It was an entire world where I had the freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted, where I wanted, and with anyone I wanted. I got my school mates to play the game at first grade, and we would constantly talk about RS, how we would all get lobsters when our mate would get his fishing to 40 today. How we could finally go kill fire giants instead of hill giants and moss giants. We would be the biggest ballers if we got that fabled rune scimitar drop. There was no GE back in those times, so we were rocking our adamant scimitars. We were too poor to afford a Rune Scimitar, and we were afraid of scammers. All those sleepovers where we would stay up into the night, playing RuneScape and planning how we could progress as a group. The GE sort of ruined that for us. Trading was made so easily accessible. There was no longer any reason to plan group progression with friends. Later when we progressed to big boy members worlds a couple years after GE was developed, I had no incentive to grind things such as slayer to get us whips. I had no incentive to grind fishing or cooking to unlock sharks. They were just one click away. no incentive to get that crafting level up to make amulets of glory or later fury. It's in the GE. And we could get all the money we wanted, because the big brother of one of my mates, taught us to do barrows. And we would be millionaires by just spamming barrows runs. Needless to say, after we got ourselves all the cool stuff off the GE, our passion kinda died out. Our talking points at lunch breaks devolved into who got how many million gp off barrows yesterday. We all sort of slowly quit then. However, I have to say that Group IronMan (GIM) really brought this flame of passion back. After over a decade of not playing RS or OSRS actively, it again consumed my life when me and a couple of fellow IT students at university, decided to give GIM a go. After all, we had 5 pals and 3 of us had played thousands of hours of RS as kids and shared a similar story of how we enjoyed it. And man did it reignite our RS addictions. And as a bonus, one of the guys who never touched it before, got so addicted he almost has more hours on the account than I do. We got that feeling back, where one of us spammed hunter early to gather rune weaponry, dragon weaponry, mystic gear, and powerful amulets off implings. I cleared quests ASAP and went into slayer to get us herbs, seeds, ore, bars, and powerful gear. And I am not kidding, I felt so accomplished and proud when I started unlocking things for my friends. First slayer helms, dragon boots, whips, and tridents. I went to good old barrows and got a thousand completions to get us the best early-midgame armor. One of us spammed fishing and cooking to get us the best food. One did all the farming and herblore with all the seeds and herbs we got. It again felt like a well oiled machine. We would talk on discord constantly, sharing our latest drops and unlocks, our plans to advance both our own accounts as well as the group.

Find a clan, there are a lot of simple chill clans where the people are really nice and they WILL help you out. Honestly if it wasn't for clans I wouldn't be playing, now clans can be cruel and have certain goals you have to hit and if you don't you get kicked, but there are clans for literally just chatting.

You never fully quit the game. Also; Just after watching this video, I downloaded the game again, picked up my stuff and headed right to taverly dungeon to grind a little bit of ranged XP. Sometimes I stick around afterwards, sometimes I leave the game be for another period of time. There's something about it that just grabs me for a short while until I get on with my life again. Though that's just the case for me, a friend of mine, who started at the same time, never stopped and still has stuff to do. I will play Runescape for as long as it will exist, that's for sure.

i have roughly 350 hours in the game i started playing a couple months ago. i really like the game but all my friends that try to get into the game quit as soon as they realize it takes like 1000 hours (probably an over exaggeration) before they can start doing these end game bosses that look really fun, i personally havent done any yet myself but i am really looking forward to doing them. My least favorite part of the game is the quests, ik they are really good in this game and quest helper makes it really easy but i just hate quests in general, I wish i didnt have to do things like monkey madness, rfd, dragonslayer etc to be able to partake in these end game bosses, but i do see why it is necessary.

after personally learning the game on ironman I would highly recommend this. I think if I had access to Grand Exchange early on, I would have simply resorted to buying a lot of quest items and not experienced even a fraction of what the game has to offer early-mid game. Also you always have the option to turn your ironman account into a Main account (one way) if you feel like the game is too grindy for you and then you can experience the Main account anyway.

Got my first infernal cape

[@xTyzillaa]

Just tried to get back into my account after not playing for a few months and can’t get back in because of the authenticator they added. Don’t have access to that old email. Pretty upset was only 3 skills away from maxed but pondering a fresh account cause all time one of my favorite games.

[@MrJamesstott]

I am going to download and start again I think, I have not played this game since about 2007, I remember being quite a high level however I no longer have the email address that I used back then so I will have to start again which is probably best any way as I can not remember anything about it really other than killing chickens for feathers, I just wonder what the community is like in 2023, I remember back in the day going to the grand exchange and people saying they would double money for you but they would just take your coin and leave, now there is literally scammers everywhere even Facebook and what not so I just hope the community isn't toxic, this game was when I first heard the term "noob", I will be downloading this game and starting again I just hope it is as wonderful as I remember.

18 years and going here. this game has saved my life as i deal with multiple psych disorders and this game is amazing for coping and giving a way to occupy time.

[@atlas2141]

Good shit brother same here. Let’s go do toa if you want

[@Turbo-DF]

sorry about your parents, maybe if they spent time developing themselves instead of playing runescape theyd have been able to give you a proper life

[@gigglebush277]

@@Turbo-DF where do you see the words parents? trust me they don't play runescape

[@Turbo-DF]

you basically say youre 18 and wanna die thats not great parenting if anything

[@gigglebush277]

@@Turbo-DF I'm not 18. I got my psych issues from a traumatic brain injury I received on active duty in 2012. so try again to be edgy if it will fix your self esteem. 18 years and going is my time playing this game as i like most, discovered it as a child and took off and on breaks and got back into it.

Listen this game is amazing, if you buy the membership. In all reality I’d buy the 60$ 1 year version. Also I play RuneScape 3 instead of old school. But it’s almost the same, the quests on this game in my opinion really make it, you can unlock bosses, new places around the map, teleports, there summoning if you’re into anime, there’s so much more to unlock then even that. Osrs is great but it has less skills than RuneScape 3, less customization, there’s a event passes where killing or skilling will earn you items, daily items that help out a lot. Total different grand exchange too, I’ve been playing RuneScape in general for 6 years and am in love with it.

[@glennzeeburg6763]

well it is elden ring or osrs. played some world of warcraft enjoyed that but after couple months it feels to much of a grind. osrs you have the option to grind or you can just afk and chill wat fits for most people. iron man is what produces the most nostalgia for me and is the most rewarding as i started playing in 2004 and seen the most of osrs already. iron man opens up allot of new ways to play the game which is the most rewarding for me. i dont think the golden days of 2004/2005 will ever come back but they are doing a amazing job of giving osrs some new life.

[@wsieber89]

I can get my 20 year cape in September. I had a maxed main in EOC but stopped playing that long before archeology came out, i play osrs now and have a reasonably good account there playing when i can.

[@kyngWuwa]

I wanna play but I can’t keep up with the membership, like certain skills can’t be leveled without it smh.

[@ainjinj1041]

gameplay is simple you have to left click right click, then you learn about prayer flicking, then you learn about boss delayed landing spell on ground, then you learn about runelite, then you learn about plug in, then you learn you will have to train your skill for 1 intense years to do fun content and dungeon, then you want to switch to pvp, then you learn about 1 tick 6 way while switching prayer and casting spell at lighting speed, then you switch back to pve after loosing all gear. The game is fun but the amount of time you have to train skill with your brain turned off or having to do it on a second monitor while listening X series/movie to do the fun content is crazy. If you played in 2001ish and think to yourself : hoo look they released a new dungeon , maybe i should try this game i played long time ago and give it a go. God have mercy on your soul. You'll maybe be able to attempt it next year if you commit hardcore to it. The game is fun tho at 85+ skill everywhere.

[@kongher1485]

Played about 17 years now. Reason I still play because it bring back memories of my childhood when getting off from school just to play and staying up all night on the weekend. Now I’m grown with a beautiful wife and two kids 😂

[@golddragon1123]

18+ years in and I still love osrs and rs3 (more so osrs)

[@Leverquin]

i know i can get runescape on steam but where can i get this version

[@Gilgidane]

This is Oldschool, a vast majority of players use a client called Runelite - it's open source and let's you use plugins which help out a lot! There's a link in the description to both the oldschool runescape website and the runelite client 😁 perhaps I should make a guide!
