Remember that easter item that turned you into an egg? Me and a couple of friends used to pretend that a witch had turned us into eggs and asked newer players to save us. I don't remember why, it's been around 10 years. Good times though.

I used to carry the rubber chicken with me wherever I went.

/v/ has it's very own private server.
They don't have all the quests working but it's better than giving Jagex money.
I think they're migrating servers right now though so it might be a big laggy.

A few bugs that get sorted quickly, the only thing missing from the game is the majority of p2p quests and a few mini games. since theirs so much else to do it doesn't really matter.

The biggest drawback can be the appointment of young staff.

A few times throughout my rs career I quit to play rsps. Idk, something about the incredibly high xp rates, the shitty communities, people begging and sucking dick for mod/admin privileges, people actually BUYING mod/admin then getting their dicks sucked in exchange didn't get my dick hard like the actual game did.

I still log in occassionally and pay for membership too after getting that 10 year cape a couple years back.

Guthix died in a quest in 2013, was impaled in the throat by Sliske (the guy who cursed the Barrows Brothers) using the Staff of Armadyl)

I tried playing RS3 but it's such a mess.
The interface is extremely confusing and you get bombarded with windows. RS2 had a really nice and simple interface with everything being on the right and you didn't have to stop playing to access it, I don't know why they thought a change was necessary.

I would probably still play but the runescape world is so damn empty, and full places everywhere was one of the main things which made the game so great in the first place

How many people are playing the original RS now

>>281035131
I have notebooks completely filled with numbers and to do lists for runescape that I would make in class. I would calculate how many flax i would need to spin or how many tuna potatoes i could make to get x amount of gp. The game literally consumed my life and i couldn't think of anything else for awhile.

I wouldn't of had it any other way.

It was so fucking stupid and literally RNG if I remember correctly, but when I was a kid I loved it for some reason because I would pretend it was blitzball.

I would RP that I was a famous gnomeball player too. Jesus fuck I was autistic as shit.

Someone post some 'RS in real life' images, I love those.

>>281035428
There's still a decent amount of people playing rs3 nowadays, however, its a totally different game and because of this, a TON of pre-eoc content is utterly dead and forgotten. I really would like to play osrs but i don't have anywhere near the time or patience to level up a new character, so i play rs3 instead.

Come try it out, right now theres a 2 week F2P trial going on, with full F2P coming in the very near future.
Its pretty cool, its like from 2007 but with some new content that fits the spirit and style of 2007 era RS. I think I would describe OSRS like if Jagex never got rid of the wildy, free trade, and never added the HD update. It feels like a different direction that the game could've taken in an alternate universe, and this second there are around 30k players on.

That's the beauty of runescape though. There wasn't any story or narrative dictating the kind of player you needed to be to enjoy the game. It truly felt like a vast and open world and that you could do anything you wanted at any time. Whether that is being a mong at the gnomeball field or grinding your skills to get 99s. Its an experience I've never had in any other game besides rs, its truly unique on that regard.

It took me some time to get used to the new UI. I've actually grown to like it more than classic U. It starts out as a huge fucking mess but spend like 10 minutes dealing with that clusterfuck and it can actually become a very good one.

Not really. Rs has always had a decent backstory if you bothered to read about it, or if you actually read betrayal at falador lol.

Recently they have kind of shoehorned the gods in more than they should have in my opinion. Zamoral, saradomin, and guthix always seemed like actual gods to me. There was mystery surrounding them and we were never 100% sure who they were or what they were capable of. The god wars dungeon added to this as well.

Nowadays all of the gods are just hanging out on the surface world and literally killing each other.

That and making them interactive. Everywhere there was stuff to click on, shortcuts to take and higher level content to look at. Most MMOs have a completely dead world outside of towns.

Those niggers had some potent ass poison jesus fuck. I got lured to them once but thanks to my cunning managed to store my stuff below the deck of the brimhaven ship docked in Ardy before dying. Never went near them again, poison was hitting for like 15+ or something retarded.

another point, if you think about it all the minigames would be fun, co-operative and if played enough would have cosmetic rewards.

The new city has a lot of content sure, but it makes skills even easier to train, and also it's hideous. Make's me sad that the new main "hub" of the game is a stark white empty void in the sky, while all the old cities with their charm are pretty much empty.

While Guthix Sleeps was the toppest of top tier in terms of quests. Underground Pass is still pretty good though.

>>281047331
>>281043557

I feel the reason for that, for me at least, was that I did a LOT of just dicking around. The only time I really trained toward something was because I needed a skill for a quest or I just really wanted to wear some better gear.

Grinding was less important than running around, exploring, playing minigames or whatever.

Also, factor in that training now you probably know what you're doing to maximize xp gain, movement is much easier with free teleports to pretty much goddamn anywhere, and most all skills can be done with a "Make X" option now (the one thing I don't really have a problem with, too much clicking was a bit of a pain in the ass)

Though I admit I rather liked While Guthix Sleeps and Nomad's Requiem too. Basically I guess I like any quest that was challenging to me when I played it.

>>281034373
The GE murdered any sense of community that the game had. No longer would anyone haggle for items, or have to actually work to sell or buy items. No meeting new people and getting crafter contacts.
Prices dropped with the GE being added, since it became really easy for people to see the prices of items. Monkfish high? SELL SELL SELL. Need to buy something? Just go to the GE which was just one giant fucking store and buy it for the cheapest fucking price offered.
Then there were the fucking merchers who destroyed the damn economy.
The GE was one of the worst things to happen to Runescape and was one of the signs that Jagex wanted the game to be more like WoW.

For me it was actually Dark Warrior's fortress, since that's where my clan's "headquarters" was. Just sitting around, waiting to see if there was a good fight.

There usually wasn't, and we were awful at fighting. But it comfy in a way. It felt safe in the building with your clan friends in the middle of the dangerous wilderness, even though you really weren't all that safe, and that one asshole probably would wind up teamkilling you with ice burst.

Barring that, I really liked the Tree Gnome Stronghold.

it's bad because you couldn't make 300K-500K per hour (back when coals were 100-150 each? I don't remember anymore) anymore just buying runes off that wilderness mage place, then selling them on the forums

Look, if anyone is still playing, would a /v/ro like to max out their account with me? I'm almost all 80+ with 10 skills at 99. It don't want a race but I want someone similar (around 2200-2400 total) to finish up with at a slow but steady pace.

What did you think of the bullshit laser-puzzle-while-being-eaten-by-shades thing in Mourning Ends Part 2?

On a completely different note: Anyone know if the old developers of Runescape made guidelines for whoever took over now in terms of lore? I actually kind of like how Zaros was handled for the most part in the recent quest thing, considering all the mystery and suspense they had with his character up until this point. I wonder if that was the work of new writers, or did the people who originally made the lore have a hand in it somehow.

That's exactly what I thought before I quit.

What is the best private server? /v/scape is literally reddit and dead as fuck.

>>281053820
now I am dead inside

I would kill to be playing a game like this again

>>281053362

For now. Don't forget they are also raising the price of membership because more and more people are quitting.

>>281054328
There really aren't any.
Most of the private servers are those with like 100000x exp rates and they give you free dragon shit as soon as you log in.

/v/scape is one of the few somewhat populated runescape servers with reasonable rates and don't hold your hand with care packages.

>>281053362
>garbage misinformation
Jagex shill detected. Bonds are a form of RWT because it allows you to purchase in-game money for real money. They're not "ONLY for membership" like you seem to think. Your shitty private-server-tier game ran by Jagex will soon be halfway to being P2W.

>they're adding shit the players vote on
Does it matter whether or not the players are voting for it? It's still being added and it's still going to ruin the game. The community currently seems to want to turn the game into RS2 in 2011-2012, but I'm sure they won't stop there; just as they didn't stop at getting RS2 in 2007 with some minor quality of life additions because the nostalgia wore off after a while. Basically they just want RS3 but without the ability to use EoC.

Your game is going to shit and the community is literally Reddit.

Just play 07scape, private servers will always be shit.

>>281055642
No. I'm not going to play some imitation. I definitely won't pay for that shit either.

>>281055789

That's literally what you're asking for.

07scape is literally a private server

>>281056014
You don't seem to understand. Runescape was just a sandbox. It was the people that made runescape great, and all those people left after they turned that sandbox into another WoW wannabe.

07 is not "old school" runescape, because just undoing the major fuckups does not bring back the sense of community old rs had.

>>281056391
Absolutely

Try /v/scape. It's not too bad.

>>281057264
A lot of people complain about the how long and boring the fight caves are but the first time i did it, it added to the tension so well. The punishment for dying felt very real because you really didn't want to go through all that again.

The jad fight just added to that. A perfect finale to the entire experience.

After the first tine i wish it didn't take so damn long but whatever.

It's literally not literally a literal private server, literally.

Runescape racism is more like that kinda of naiive stereotyping racism rather than malicious racism, or humorous 4chan racism.

Though trying to hear these new british voice actors do an "eastern" accent is pretty cringeworthy.

Guess the song.
