Classic triple post for the 10500th.


You have to keep in mind that for noobs, Ice Mountain was a place they would never be able to find. When you're really young and playing the game, you don't tend to explore because you're afraid of dying, and you start off in Lumbridge which doesn't have a bank until you complete Recipe for Disaster. You head east and there's a gate that's too expensive, north and you get attacked by dark wizards, west and you get attacked by jail guards, south and you're in some pointless swampland. The world's a scary place.

It's criminal that they made lodestones. Takes out all of the adventure and neuters magic. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

EDIT: There's a bank on lumbridge's roof. People generally find that fairly quickly, or at least so I thought. Now there seem to be banks everywhere. O_o

Then again, I was one of the abnormal people who lived in the swamp until level 25 - LIVING OFF THE LAND! Giant rat meat and shrimp really grows on you when it's the only thing you eat for 22 levels.

A lot of younger players didn't understand what was happening to them, leading to 'unfair' deaths. Also, losing your picaxe, hatchet, etc. was seen as rather annoying.

Annoying, yes. But it's a lot better than the current system, where you can go hours on end doing the same monotonous task. They should have expanded and improved randoms, in my opinion (and the best way to do this would be to FASHIONSCAPE! :P )

That was accidental. I swear.

But at that point, your pickaxe is so cheap that it is really no great loss if it blows up in your face.

Yeah. Why even keep those teleport spells in the game if anyone can go anywhere for free? Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Nah man. Why spend valuable time and efforts on cosmetics for random events, when you could spend valuable time and efforts on cosmetics to sell in Solomon's store? Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

You're right, and they have been aiming for the present situation for awhile. I just wish we got, you know, a conspiracy involving fun updates like what oldschool is getting now.

Of course not!

Magic isn't allowed.

But you can make an exception for me, right big boy?

Originally, the only bank in Lumbridge was the hidden chest you unlock after Recipe for Disaster, which is why it was such an important quest, (along with being the 100th.) The addition of the new bank completely ruins that and as such, is one of the many updates that I refuse to acknowledge as existing.
