2010/2011scape was the best era for sure

Only because of Old School Dungeoneering. Before it became crap. +1. Dungeoneering was amazing.

I haven't logged into this forum in literally years, first thing that catches my eye. I remember you. Hope you get your name back eventually. Also, good to see some of the old players active.

His videos show 2010-2011 era RS at its peak and I think we both agree those were this games best days


<3 des lots of truth here!

It was right before the p2w era. They were certainly the best years of RuneScape.

Achieving 200m all was an insane goal, but not impossible. There was a perfect balance between afk methods and non-afk methods (Examples being: Ivy at 70k/h vs Teaks at 120k/h OR Rocktails at 50k/h vs Barb fishing at 110k/h iirc).

There was no p2w and no bonus xp. If you wanted 200m agility, you did Barbarian Advanced Outpost. Insane? Yes. But enjoyable, because it's not like there were other exclusive and better options available. Now, to optimize your efficiency you have to play a totally unrelated minigame for 900-1500k bonus xp/h and then throw 2.5b at Silverhawk feathers so you can get the skill to 200m losslessly.

The game was welcoming to all sorts of players. This goes back to afk/non-afk. You could be a pro and superheat gold whilst lrc mining or you could just afk it and bank the ores and then train the skill more traditionally at artisan's or even anvils. Smithing was a fast skill regardless so if you were to opt for the latter, you'd only waste an extra maybe 50 hours on getting 99. It wasn't a huge deal and it meant you didn't have to superheat over 200,000 gold ores.

Granted, it wasn't perfect. I don't think "efficiencyscape" was a bad thing. It never was and especially compared to what we have now, it even more so wasn't. What did certainly feel broken was cannoning cave crawlers for fast effigies and better overall efficiency over skills such as Runecrafting and Agility.

RuneSpan was a hell of an update. We needed that. But after the nerf, it became pointless. To this day, it's still nerfed. Now you craft souls for an afkable 400k xp/h. Maybe revert RuneSpan back, no?

This, lol

RuneScape was definitely a better time when it was simpler. 2010-2011 was amazing. EfficiencyScape wasn't too bad because it was still at a level to where only the top players chose that route and you could still make decent gains doing the alternatives and the great part was that it didn't completely cannibalize other pieces of the game (The beginning of the decline imo). But after it turned into DailyScape and later having it seep into PvM with perks/auras etc, I had to hang it up. Not hard to learn but it felt like unnecessary filler and clutter and killed the experience.

Hi guys, thanks for the support and recognition. Makes me feel all warm n fuzzy lol

Looks like the original name stealer changed his name to "Nosupty" and then to "Lesupty" and now somebody else got Desupty. Another name that doesn't show up on the hiscores. Must've happened somewhere this week.

Sadly, probably your best bet is some name buyer/seller acquired the name so they can sell it to you for a phat. Unfortunately that's the state of RS we play in, that name-selling trust trades are more helpful than the game mods.
