Been meaning to post this for years! Have had it drafted on my computer as messy notes. Forum time is running out so I'll mainly just copy and paste them as is now.


Varrock bank cellar a player hosted a game, 1st person to use an emote etc. that was fun. still remember the limpwurt root I won lol.

Draynor manor woes- couldn't get out. so upset with myself, thought it was "Game-Over" and that I'd have to create another character. Very relieved when I figured it out the next day lol.

My first death was by Mugger Level 6 right along Lumby castle wall. I couldnt change the camera angle so couldnt see what was happening!

Death at wiz tower- didn't realise the wizards would be aggressive, maybe first death losing stuff

Someone gave me an iron scimmy, i kept that quite a while

Sad at losing mime boots when killed my char on purpose to see Death during a Hween event duration

Strange box multiplying filling up inventory-panic

"Dancing in the Moonlight". Saw a player singing/dancing on the Barb Vill bridge for money like a busker. I say "moonlight" every time I pass there!

Ranging over tables in barbarian vill

Maging Falador Knights across a table.

Killing guards top of varrock palace, they are no longer there :c

Before i knew about giants in game, i made an assumption that big bones came from killed players in the wilderness

I was confused seeing people saying "selling/buying natures/deaths" etc. I was like how can you sell nature o.O Later realised it was the runes!

A friend offered to mine rune essence with me so we could make money. I kept quiet about not wanting to sell my ess but keep for rc'ing. (being the Diy-er that I still am)

I knew law runes were available to f2p, but just assumed the teleport spells were members only.

I remember teleporting for the first time actually, thought it was so cool to suddenly appear in a different location lol.

Saw someone simply dropping their WCed oak logs right at the south entrance of Fally. I always burned mine so was shocked lol. We made a thing of trading me the oak logs for me to burn right there.

Saw so many players with the 2 letters P & K in their names, thought it was strange. took me a while to realise it meant player killer. I must have missed/just forgot Vannaka talking about it in the tutorial.

Rs taught me lots of names in popular culture because of seeing them on so many usernames. eg. Inuyasha and Atreyu.

Fishing platform on map, assumed it would be busy with fishers, but no, just mainly for quest.

I had always noticed Ardougne Zoo on the world map during my f2p days.. but it was rather disapointing to finally visit lol.

Rune essence, i used to not be sure if they were liquid or solid stones. looked like drops of liquid to me so i was like how can that be mined? and the word essence itself added to this confusion

Despite boat trips simply being a map that pops up, I wondered about the Gnome gilders, if you would literally see yourself flying over the game with land passing underneath. Disappointing lol.

A guessing game for my last 2 f2p RC altars to visit. (I purposefully avoided using the locate option on the talismans btw) I guessed Fire would be Lumby swamp. And Water would be Al Kharid. My lore theory was Al K used to be wetlands and dried up over time.

The first few rows of my bank have hardly changed since f2p.

I pronounced Jagex wrong for around 8 years. "Jay-Jex" is how my brain read it! Until I finally heard it spoken on a video. "Jag-Ex". :O
Actually, I still say Jayjex, knowing that I'm wrong :P it just got too stuck in from that time.


How about you. Are there any small/random things/memories that you would like to share?!

Being saved from a scorpion in Al Kharid by someone in full iron. I thought he was hardcore.

Wandering around aimlessly, getting called noob because I still had bronze med helm and wooden shield

Competing with 15 other people for coal in Dwarven mines.

Laughing when someone told me Zezima needed a guide for Cook's Assistant.

Seeing a level 90 in full rune while training combat at WK castle. I still remember that player's name for some reason.

Saving up 10k for full mith

Journey to Crandor

Defeating Elvarg after a fierce battle

Equipping rune platebody, thinking I had entered the realm of the gods

Becoming a member, feeling like a noob again because I saw a level 122 in full dragon killing hellhounds

Defeating the jungle demon with a willow or maple shortbow. Didn't care for range back then.

Winning Guthan's spear at barrows, which meant I finally had enough money to buy dragon chain. Very few people had it at that time as it was worth around 15mil.

Decimating the noob horde at Castle Wars with my aby whip

Achieving my quest cape

Singing dancing in the moonlight. No, it wasn't at Barb village. That wouldn't make sense as it's daytime there.

Hearing Wending Through the Willows for the first time
The age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.

-Waiting on the corner of the varrok bank basement with no movement. For a random event to show up.
-Borrowing a g maul from a friend.
-Getting 60 attack at rock crabs with the dragon dagger ready in the inventory.
-Playing soul wars to get a 99.

-Getting cash with making flax or making planks.
-At some mod event a few years back, still have the unused letter(it gives an xp lamp I think)

• Dying at Karamja from the tribes' poison. I remember trying hard to stay alive. Lost quite a bit of money from that death

• Getting all my melee combat stats and range to 99 at Experiments. I remember getting into quite a bit of flame wars at this place. People would come, a lot of pures, and trash talk.

•Camping Clan Wars with my friends for fun. We'd always go in the purple portal and try to take out large clans (e.g. 3 vs 11). Quite a bit of flaming went on here as well. Lots of trash talking. Trained a lot of my combat skills and earned cash for better armour just to do better at Clan Wars.

• Grinding quests to unlock Tormented Demons. I hated questing, so this grind was huge for me. I was happy when I unlocked them and they were well worth it. Unlocking TDs made me go from a broke player to one that could finally afford things.

• Hunting imps at Puro-Puro. This was my money-maker before I went into combat. The hunt for those dragon imps was fun. I always lit up when I saw an orange imp somewhere in the distance or nearby.

• Getting an Elysian Sigil at a Corporeal Beast FFA. They were worth like 700M or something.

• Getting a Divine Sigil at a Corporeal Beast duo when they were worth over 1B. My friend didn't believe me when I called the sigil. We split half the amount.

• Doing friendly duels with friends at the Duel Arena, usually hybridding fights. I found this quite fun.

• Picking flax to afford a Dragon Woodcutting Axe. Woodcutting was my 1st 99. I remember really wanting a D axe, but being too poor to afford it. It was a struggle to get this item.

• Doing 76k tricks with friends when PvP worlds were a thing. This was fun quite fun to do.

• Starting and running a Corporeal Beast FFA FC called "The Corp FFA". I don't know why I started it, but this was a fun time. It surprisingly ran for quite a long time.

• I remember the lag struggles I had. I was constantly playing at like 10-20 FPS. PvM was at times annoying because of this.

Wandering around aimlessly toward Varrock and completely missing it by going around east and north. Trying to get over the fence and the Wilderness ditch without any luck. Finding 9 coins in Edgeville due to people training on the men, thinking I was rich. Going souith because there was a mountain in the way. Going through Falador. Somehow end up in Draynor Sewer where I got killed. Didn't know where I respawned, ahdn't been inside Lumbridge castle before that.

Getting attacked by a highwayman at the crossroads north of Draynor vilage.

Getting stuck in Draynor Manor and teleporting out.

Getting killed by Death's portal-door during a holiday event I didn't start properly and decided to do something else. Could have had his hood.

Not finding Falador when someone said to follow the road west from Lumbridge and ending up in Edgeville instead.

Training on the goblins in the now removed woods west of Lumbridge.

Finding an adamant kiteshield at the Dark Wizards outside varrock, training on giant rats behind Lumbridge Castle to get 30 defence to wear it together with my bronze dagger, chef's hat and monk robes.

Killing the men in Edgeville with Silverlight. Having to run from the Evil Chicken and the ghast random event.

Killing cockroaches for their drops.

- Chopping Yew trees by the Seers flax field on a PvP world.

- Having a few people cheer me on while fighting a pker (post-eoc) at the wildy agility course that kept killing us.

- Going to the party room, back when bankers used to announce when there was a drop party happening, and getting a Saradomin Helm. Later that day I sold it so I could afford my first Whip.

- A forum post around the time skillcapes were released stating that they would be the downfall of the game.

- Training range by killing yaks with iron knives.

- Before the Grand Exchange was a thing, mining Pure-Ess so I could go law running.

- Playing One Piercing Note and being excited about the future of the game.

- Playing various Minigames for the fun of it.

- Getting stuck in the Piscatoris Hunter for a couple of days.

- Training cooking at the fire in Rogues' Den.

- Buying a trip to Karamja and being excited that there was a whole new landmass to explore.

- Meeting someone wearing the same exact default clothes/hair and becoming friends with them.

- Reading the RS books written by TS Church.

I also have quite a few good memories of playing the game with my family.
I hope I'll see some of you on the RuneScape Forumers Discord.

Thank you for this post, reading everyone's memories brought back so many of mine...

- I remember first entering Varrock Square (it still had a circular fountain at the time) and seeing the players trading and chatting there

- A player randomly trading me an adamant dagger, which i really wanted because i thought it was one of the best weapons in the game; i offered them some nooby stuff, they declined

- An irl friend and i going to the wildy to get planks for Dragon Slayer as F2P, we had trouble finding the spot (i think they're in the Graveyard of Shadows) we strayed off and got killed by a team of pkers

- Seeing all the people trading near Varrock west bank, amazed at how fast and efficiently people typed their offers, and the neat text effects: flash:Wave, cyan:scroll, etc.

- Doing the 2006 Christmas event and getting the Reindeer Hat, i thought it was interesting the the event was somewhere as sunny as Karamja; sadly i dont have that account anymore

- Becoming a member and buying some Red Dragonhide Chaps and Magic Shortbow on my pure, i went to Castle Wars afterwards

- Getting my first 99, being Range, on my 1 defence pure; i remember chinning in the Monkey Madness tunnels

- Hanging out in the Lumbridge Courtyard, it was quite popular back then

- A player i became friends with showing me the Hill Giants dungeon for the first time, as he was leaving he mentioned that he had to go have "tea and biscuits", i remember being so amazed because i figured out he was from the UK, and that we were halfway across the globe (im from cali), playing the same game...

- An irl friend gifting me his mithril armor, which i thought was the coolest armor at the time

- Creating multiple accounts to get the cash prize from the Stronghold of Security, because it was big money at the time for me.

- Getting killed by lesser demons in Karamja Volcano, when I was level 18 or so. I couldn't find the exit rope and ended up getting killed. I swore that I would get my revenge on them, and eventually I did. :P

- Getting laughed at by fellow players because I was level 83 with rune scimitar and I had been a member for quite some time already. Well, it wasn't long until I completed The Lost City and got the dragon longsword.

- Begging for mercy while I was getting pked at green dragons.

- Escaping from Chaos Elemental with 1 hp remaining while doing my very first hard clue.

- Getting accused for stealing someone's dragon axe head. Probably afked and lost it. Since I didn't take it, he/she tried to duel me for my rune hatchet, but failed repeatedly. :P

- I had big expectations for the Ardougne Zoo too. I was disappointed when there weren't any elephants, giraffes etc.

- Port Phasmatys was another place which I thought was cool before I became a member. And it was, for a few moments.

- Getting my whip scammed back when 2,7m was huge amount of money. Because of that, I stopped playing for a few months.

E: Oh, and the Bot Nuke day too. I got bad vibes and didn't log in for the rest of the day. I could have got extra spins for being wrongfully banned, but oh well. :P

Thank you for this post, reading everyone's memories brought back so many of mine...
What she said!

Some of my random memories on my old account from middle school days were:

- Making a fake female character and pretending to be a chick in rl to get armour and gp from simps.

- Making multiple accounts to get the GP rewards from the strong hold of security and dropping it upstairs in some building in Varrock that no one ever comes to so I can transfer it to my main.

- Tricking some kid from my class (middle school gr 6) into believing that I have some kind of hack that gives me 1K GP every time I click my mouse and I told him I left the game on with a auto clicker on. He said he wanted this hack and I told him I'd give it to him for a Full Black Armor set with the gold trim. I told him I just can't seem to find it anywhere otherwise I would've bought it myself. He bought me that and some other stuff I don't remember and soon as we made the trade I logged out right away. In school the next day I told him you got scammed. (I hope he learned a valuable lesson that day to not take short cuts in game.)

- In grade 7 our teacher would allow us 20 minutes on the computers in the mornings and this one kid logged into RuneScape and he had all his GP (it was a lot, he was kind of a pro) in his inventory and these few bullies, quickly held him against his will and dropped all his GP and logged out and closed the browser. The kid didn't even know what world he was in and started crying in class. LOL funny thing is he was also a bully.

- Fishing for lobsters at Karamja Island!

- Cooking food in the kitchen at the small house in Varrock near the lodestone.

- Changing worlds to find someone who made the Dragon's health low for the quest Dragon Slayer so I can come in and finish it because I wasn't able to 1v1 the Dragon.

- Making my first RS girlfriend.

Some of the things mentioned above may be satire.
