I have wondered since I joined this server a few weeks back how many players are ACTUALLY OG Scapers!!! I remember whwn Rune Armor was introduced on RS!!! I remember BEFORE Zezima was a top player! The top player at that time was ALWAYS BlueRose13x, and she was also the first to be able to smith full rune EVER! I also remember before there was a wildy! AND, when the WHOLE WORLD was PvP and you had to choose whether you wanted to have all PvP or no PvP! Lmao...Ahh, the good ol' days! Haha...Anyone else an OG like me?!!?

I started playing a little after R2H were introduced I believe. I do remember BlueRose13x, Pker Dude Jr I think was his name, The Old Nite... Other names I can't remember but would recognize if I saw them.

Funny. Most memories I have are either pking, scamming players or autoing.

A few from me.  From selling cakes at the wildy, or staying up all night training.. just so many. Meeting the guys who lived on my street who played being like - Meet you in world 1 man!

1) I had some how scammed my way into getting a player to let me use his his ranger - 80 range level 55ish - name "O its Butters"  - either through "let me use your account, etc." Sure enough, no recoveries were set and the rest was history. The needle scam and leading people to the wilderness, all classics.

2) I actively pked and autoed regularly but would get banned on and off. Funny story relatable to this server - I would PK with Pyru in real RSC. A friend of mine from real life would actively write script for his bots and we would be online buddies.

3) After meeting someone while pking, he got me a perminate authorization (which cost like 250m or hundreds of dollars) to autorune and ixbot. These bots I autoed for weeks on end without looking at them. These were the best bots, and I became active in the autorune community. After years of using the bots and selling atleast 25 different characters ranging from pures - to 85 mining chars, 1 65 1 80 magic, 40 1 90, lvl 76 stakers etc, I was banned from autorune for sharing my authorization (I believe I had a shared one). Anyways, I went on a hacking back spree because there was a way to unset the recoveries so it looked clean. When I hacked the chars back - some had almost 99 everything and wack stats. Some got locked because of the constant challenging back of the chars.

4) I was also the victim of scams - I paid gp for members and the seller canceled their creditcard and made my character banned from using creditcard and until I paid the back dated days I owed.

All I can come up with now - but fun times being 10-13

Yea. PDJ is a really good guy.  I still talk to Lightning, Doe Slayer, Jamie2002 and even said hi to xxcavalierxx a few months ago when he randomly logged in.  Lol.
Keep in touch with a lot of the old players that still play.

Dont let lychee's stories distract you from the fact that hes still fucking banned from my wild

Definitely the good ol days! Just a kid and loved the hell outta this game! Reason I'm still here!

Ooo varrock castle merchant center

@ran@ buying hats buying hats

Draynor  all the stakers lives
and I personally hung out in Falador if not trading at varrock castle.
From what I recall everyone hung out in edge trying to find zezima or pkers, idk I was never really there until rsps came out.

Thanks for the post haha I remember that warrior mage ranger thing wasn’t there miner too or something like that?

I’ll add a story too from classic days;

When I was a newb(and currently still am) I ventured into the varrock wilderness looking for the bar by the wilderness. Probably for the quest.

Needless to say, I had almost everything I owned on me and got lost, wandering into the wilderness;
Including my only rare at the time, a Santa hat gifted to me by ladykilljoy (ran into in catherby one day) and I didn’t intent to lose it.

Almost immediately, I stumbled across 3 pkers high level with rune and PARTYHATS haha. They had told me I was in the wrong neighborhood and directed me out. Not before offering a pink party hat for my santa. Which I declined and explained it was more than pixels that hat.
They told me phats were so cheap they could pk with them and the three dominated so well there was little risk.

From there, I began my adventure collecting hats and selling in varrock castle garden. Never forgot the 3 phat pkers

There was another time I went into the wild as a newb saw a guy on the nature spawn island with a black phat. Realizing, “Andrew” couldn’t be attacked from there I stopped to investigate and he shot me with a crossbow to Lumbridge. I didn’t learn until a year or so after who that was and black phats didn’t exist haha

RuneScape for me died when the wildy came out.  Prior to that you could fight anywhere.  You’d walk from Lumby to varrock, along that path that passed the dark wizards, and there’d be piles of bones and gear from everyone constantly dying.  It was a wasteland/graveyard.

The adrenaline rush was unmatched.  It got so bad that guards were originally placed near banks because people would be fighting inside them and it was hard to bank your GP (nonitem banks at first) without getting fucked with.  Guards at level 28 were super overpowered at the time, and you learned not to fight them because they would fuck you up hard.

When the wildy came out it prompted edge sitters.  No more constant looking over your shoulder.  The game became lame then. 

RSC has a whole different dynamic when you always had to look over your shoulder while doing anything (mining, smithing, etc) because you could die at any moment.

The games lesser items also had more meaning, and there wasn’t such a rush to end game (40 attack, r2h pure, etc ) because leveling was so slow and you didn’t need perfect stats to fight someone.  Having a single member of your clan make iron or steel armor with his measly 20 smithing was great because you died so much that you couldn’t afford better gear.  Every skill had a purpose and wasn’t there just to gain total skill level.  Every skill helped your clan.

Having addy or mith had meaning because it was so rare to have, and no level requirements made all the difference when fighting, because you could survive so much longer.

The game was more about fighting and not so much pixel hoarding.  Great time to be alive.  It’s a shame it didn’t last long.

Does anyone remember cabbage patch wars?

I remember much of what you do man, crazy!  I still have so many old pics of Varrock castle trading. 

I was a bar runner for Arris, and Iampenguin, a couple of the first few rune smithers.  They would let me keep the plates to high alch for cash.  That was my payment for running them bars to rush smithing xp.

I started in early 2000, but not played since RSC closed. Played some StorkPK and today, I joined here. OG name Corey6969
