Anyone from back then still play? My original name was taken (Messiah 10) sadly. I am guessing someone stole it. But pretty depressing to come back and see all my friends basically have a #RandomString. If Anyone wants to group up or hang lmk. Looking for some buds to play with while I am on this Nostalgia trip.

I am currently 51 Combat level. Down to start a new toon if anyone wants to level something up together.

Anyways hope to see you in game.

Welcome back!

Wow - 21 years! She's a massively different beast now, but there's plenty to do! Original message details are unavailable.
Anyone from back then still play? I've been here a long while - breaks were taken, but I'm here and there's lots of others who have been around for ages still for sure. Original message details are unavailable.

Yeah, there were a couple of name releases from inactive accounts but it's been a while since that was done. Information on some of the details can be found here:

I would not start a new one, keep the one you have as it has a 20-year vets cape and not many can say that. The game is so much faster to level up now from the days of classic.

Do not delete your friends list even if its random letters/numbers and you don't remember who each is as 1 day they may come back and be active again and if they do the name will change but it will be the same person, just like your old account might be on someone else's friends list but showing random letters till you changed it.....if that makes sense.

If you like group content, then it might be better to find a clan with older players that like doing the same as you and do not join the first clan that comes along as some just want people to join to keep the numbers up for the sake of it.

Your account will give you access to both RS3 and OSRS games but if you play on OSRS you will start with nothing so it's like a new account already.

This is an interest note as we often can tell from a player's user name to tell their accounts were created in the earliest years of RSC. AFAIK, we can't create usernames like mine for like 2 decades.

They actually made fun of this old username creation thing in the Runesical when a performer with a "#RandomString" username asked how did the other one come up with the username "Odin The Destroyer".

Well, it is pretty good guess players with popular names like "Dilbert" and "Odin" and no "#RandomString" in their usernames are very old accounts.

21 years? That is one hell of a break! It may well be a record.

Welcome back, and have fun. In many ways, RS is a vastly different game from what you may remember. On the other hand, it is much the same at its' core:

Earn GP and XP. Do quests. Skill and kill. Chill with friends. Rinse and repeat. :P
