Disclosure! This is my first attempt at creative writing in sometime. I am not a writer by any means but would love to make some stories about runescape and i appreciate any f/b as long as its constructive! When I am online my chat is always on so feel free to pm me what you think! If anyone enjoys this story I can for sure continue it, as in game I am mostly working on afk skills now and I'm always open to a friendly chat.

Prelogue/narrator

Jimmy was an avid runescaper back in the day, he was nearly maxed before real life things got in the way, school, dating, etc. So time for video games was extremely limited. Some things had happened in his real life that he can play more, and
Jimmy always remembered good ol' Runescape and missed the many friends he had there. It had been 4 years since last login but he figured he could catch up. Jimmy didnt want to go to f2p and so he busted out a debit card and paid for membership. The nostalgic music had his heart raising a bit and he really wanted to see if any of his old friends stil played. Especially his best friend in game Midevil777.

--------------------------

Jimmy- "I really can't wait to meet my old rs buddies i hope they didn't quit!" The former clan world from all those years ago was 89, the fish fingers world as it was always our clan world and even if no one was around he could at least carry on that tradition. So after gaining membership, he logged in for the first time in over 4 years.

Upon logging in it was immediately apparent that things had changed, there were less servers and only a few new quests were now available.

"Strange.. Jagex always had new content, to only see 3 new quests is incredibly strange, not to mention fish fingers is nearly full."

He logged in and found himself in falador, strangely enough, there wasnt an npc or player to be found. Aside from one banker at fally east and west.

There was also a very unusual problem

Making it to fally west, Jimmy could not use the bank booth.

"Weird glitch, I suppose I'll report it and just talk to the banker.".

When clicking on the banker, the npc immediately started shouting to leave and that I wasnt allowed to not only use the bank but to also use my fish fingers world. "That Is a heck of a glitch, and a world message came out with my location. Now it has to be reported.".

Jimmy scrambled around the interface and did not find the report / bug option.

"I can always just use another bank I suppose.".

Walking out was the strangest thing. It seemed that there were 50 players but they didn't show up on the minmap. Strangest of all Is that everyone was wearing mourners gear, matching, no variation at all. Along with something called a noxious scythe for each one.

"Another glitch probably, but these glitched players are tailing me for some reason.".

Jimmy went to fally east, now about 30 glitched players were seemingly following him.

As what happened previously, the banker refused to serve Jimmy, and mentioned something about a "three strikes rule".

Walking out of the bank, a mourner came up and told jimmy he should visit one more bank, he and the other mourners would show him the, "non-glitched" bank.

Strangely enough, the bank was in keldagrim, of all places!

Jimmy made it to keldagrim and even more dotless glitched players were waiting there. By now Jimmy knew better to think it wasnt a glitch. But real players.

So wanting to retrieve his items and maybe go kill some abby demons Jimmy went into the bank and thankfully there wasnt any angry bankers shouting, so Jimmy was at least grateful for that. In fact, the banker looked downright pleased to see Jimmy and the facial expressions on the dialogue chat turned into maddening laughs . It was.. unnerving to say the least. NPCs don't make those animations.

For some reason, the Banker told Jimmy "strike thre

That's when things went horribly wrong. An entire server through all worlds had been broadcasted that Jimmy was now free to kill.

This was a setup. Around 30 mourners started attacking Jimmy, who admittingly got incredibly lucky being he had food with him and prayer. Even still, he wouldn't last even 30 more seconds with all the damage being done. So Jimmy did the best he could and ran to put some space between attackers.

He entered the blast furnace with 30 mourners in tow. and no real hope for survival. They had him cornered and told Jimmy once they killed him he his account wouldnt exist anymore.

There was no hope. It had been years since Jimmy played but he was stil proud of his account.

As the mob of mourners prepared to kill Jimmy, Twenty players logged in with different sets of zaros armour and one of them teleothered Jimmy away, he was saved from a terrible fate.

They teleported to Remington and the player said to get inside and dont leave.



Then it dawned on Jimmy. It was Midevil, locking his portal behind him.

At this point, all Jimmy could muster up was, ,"Mid! What is going on?,".

Mid told jim to sit down, he then said, "In the last four years things have changed, and not for the better.

"Let me tell you what went wrong, and why what you did today was reckless and stupid"...

Mid never talked like that, so jim sat quietly while he started to explain...

-------------------------

If anyone wants me to.keep going let me know! This is a nice break from grinding all weekend


There are grammar issues pov issues, I'll fix but its rather late so I'm off to bed.

Private is always on, I'm usually doing Skilling and clan stuff but everyone could use more friends, myself included.

I hope at least one person likes where this is going because I have some ideas.

Again, potentially to be continued and thanks for the read! :)
