Classic thread. I didn't start on release but 2014 before the GE was added. Glad I got to experience the early years of OSRS, 2014-5. The nostalgia was palpable, community far better than it is today. Things were fresh, maxed out accounts rare. Didn't have easy mode mini games just yet. Most hiscore pages, outside of cooking or fletching, weren't full of 200m. I guess it was inevitable that we'd all 'get gud' and master the remake eventually but it feels a bit like a second death of childhood seeing OSRS in this late stage aimlessness.
Now I have nostalgia for past nostalgia.
