No one ever quits Runescape, we all just take really long breaks.

Fun fact; More people are playing OSRS today than at any point in Runescapes history. It's not just "still around", it's thriving.

Bro didn’t turn auto retaliate off when flinching lol

I definitely agree that receiving gifts is part of the new player experience, people are generally super wholesome and helpful towards new players. 100k was the perfect amount of GP as well, just enough money to get started without it being an overwhelming handout.

Austin here, man I forgive you but I remember going home that day and crying because I couldn’t log back in and lost all my progress

If you remember runescape, you remember Zezima

This is so nostalgic, the music, the gameplay. As a kid not understanding English at all as it was a second language questing was impossible. Even so the memories from just finding out stuff by going around and exploring was very fun. It is something that I think will never happen again, I am happy I got to experience that. Great video!

Really fun watch man. I'd love to see you get a fire cape. That would be epic

Without a doubt, one of the few, rare channels on the platform surrounding video gaming that is fueled by the pure, insatiable love of the medium. Jack makes it feel like him and I are best bros, just chatting about one of our favorite things, video games!! Appreciate the sincere passion you exert for games in your videos brother, really comes off in a great way. Keep up the fantastic work ❤️❤️

I just watched a 42 min long video and thought it was 10 minutes... I would watch 2 hours of this and wouldnt get tired

the barrier to entry for new players to just create a character is insane.

Funfact: The Blue Partyhat is worth 70B in the original Runescape today, you can currently get 100m in game by spending $10 on Bonds. Do the math if ur curious

Hate to break it to you man but it's now impossible to burn the shrimp you cook on tutorial island.

Lol you not knowing about auto-retaliate in the elvarg fight was classic.

Oldschool has so much to offer, so many new mechanics and bosses to fight. Take time and really play it, i think you will enjoy it. Would love to see a follow up video.

What an entertaining video, had me in stitches when auto-retaliate was screwing you at Elvarg.

Am I the only one hearing “ruin-scape?” Is this a running gag carried over from the Elden Ring video? 😂😂 Great video!!

i got into osrs last year and im borderline addicted... hardly played as a kid but i love how chill it can be after a long day of work

This was so much fun to watch, experiencing Runescape again after so long is so magical. Hope to see more of you playing Runescape!

Love your story telling. I started playing RS when I was 10 in 2001. Everything was relatable

If you ever choose to go back to osrs, make sure to take extra advantage of the osrs wiki. The wiki is so good that the developers put a dedicated button in game to open the wiki page to any interactable object in the game.

The full Mythril armor set with the rainbow shoes is how I logged off all those years ago. I don't know if the quests to get the armor existed back then, I just remember the grind to make it all myself. This has brought back so many fond childhood memories. Mining, fishing, the Wilderness, the manor, etc. When you entered the white mine it was like a core memory unlocked. Great video!

I absolutely love how at 39:00 you paused to have a look where PVP hotspots are, right infront of the Chaos alter PVP hotspot XD Awesome vid mate!

First time seeing your channel, but thoroughly enjoyed this video. I first played Runescape 20 years ago as well... such fond memories. Subscribed, look forward to the next vid :)

Runelite has options to increase the render distance like 30x the default. In the settings tab at the top right search for "GPU" if you want the classic look, gear icon that and the top should be draw distance and extended map loading options. For the "HD" look instead of the GPU plugin you head to "117 HD" and the same options can be found in that plugin too!

I'm a 27 year old still playing OSRS, the game I started when I was 6. God damn it's addicting

As a kid it took me 4 years to get Rune armour on what is now my rs3 account. I started an osrs account a month or two ago and am currently on track to getting my abyssal whip in two days or less.

I really enjoy your videos. You have a great dialogue and personality which is enjoyable to watch and it's made even more fun to watch with the thematic elements you add with the background and outfits. Construction paper Runescape armor? Amazing!

I’ve spent the last 3 weeks obsessed with this game all over again and this video could not have been more perfectly timed. Love your stuff man!

I have an inferno max cape & trimmed achievement diary cape, 5b bank, and almost 7,000 hours played in OSRS. The game is incredibly vast, and there's no wrong way to play the game because it's account-based. Completing the game's quests (which are some of the best-written quests in any game ever made) unlocks more items, more quests, new skilling methods, and even entire regions of the game. Oldschool Runescape is a mile wide and as deep as an ocean. That being said, the game will consume you. Also, to elaborate on the expensive items: The blue partyhat in Runescape 3 is worth over $2,500 in real-world dollars. In Oldschool Runescape, there are items that are worth more than the maximum stack of gp allowed in game (2,147,483,647 - limited by Java's maximum integer value) The Third-Age Pickaxe is currently worth twelve _billion_ gp, traded between players using platinum (1 plat = 1k gp) instead of gp.

Bro this is so wholesome and the whole fact that he was so happy when his friend gave him 100k because he thought that was a lot was adorable in the best way. Never seen this channel before, but great video :)

LOL at the Austin story. This reminds of a time me and my friend found out what a keylogger was, and invited our friend from school to play rs on his account. When we took the goods, fun ensued. Him and his dad came over looking for us and me and my friend split and hid in a bush. Was a dog eat dog world as 10 year olds. Funny thing is, the victim asked beforehand if we had a keylogger to which my other friend accomplice said "whats a key bogger". And amazingly that didnt give us away.

OSRS is genuinely my favorite MMO, it's a great mix of sandbox and theme park

Oh god this takes me back. Coming home from school and going into the family computer room. Booting up Runescape in one tab, a Breaking Benjamin playlist on youtube in another tab and just trying to trigger that Bootcamp random event to get those sweet camo pants and shirt. Simpler times.

I wish I could play like this again, the sense of wonder was unrivalled especially as a kid.

I love your videos. Your honest enthusiasm and love of gaming is refreshing and infectious. All the best to you and your channel, its awesome to see it growing so much

jack, as someone who also not so long ago played a couple of my childhood games i think it's really fun that you actually filmed your self doing that, and analyzied that game. keep up the good work jack you are amazing

that blue partyhat that you remember, still exist in their full cost state brought over from the 01 days towards runescape 3.

Love the video and watching you experience the nostalgia. Very similar to my experience re-playing osrs as an adult!

RuneScape is... FOREVER!

New to the channel, I love this video. Played as a lad, and returned as an adult, and its been my favorite game for years. If you wanted to continue here are some ideas for another similar video: Monkey Madness, Desert Treasure (iconic members quests), go for lvl goal for all skills like 10-20 so you can try them all out, there are several unique skilling bosses that I think a new player would enjoy while also seeing how interactive the game can be. Good luck plasmorp, hope to see you on soon.

Bro just admitted to Scamming his friend for 8 days access to members servers

I was a Pirates of the Caribbean Online kid. I wish I could do this with that game man!!

Got a sub from me for sure! Awesome to see the perspective of a gamer coming back to osrs and you are able to explain it well. I’m positive a ton of the osrs community would swarm to your channel if you made this a series with a goal like quest cape or something.

Yo Jack keep up the good work and I can’t wait to play your game

Never played either editions of RuneScape butI'm definitely going to check it out, thanks. As always great video

This is crazy how much I can relate 9 days back in OSRS. Literally same exact experience, everything happened to you also happened to me 27:56 , 28:56, etc

JACKS UPLOADED!!!!!!

Good job on the agility explanation btw, lots of people think it makes your run energy go down slower but it just makes your run energy recharge faster as well as the shortcuts. but weight reduction will help your run energy deplete slower.

26:16 thank you so much for the air rubbing to explain the jewlery mechanics, i've been laughing for 5min lol

I used to play Runescape to Madvillainy, Quasimoto & J Dilla religiously as a kid. Whenever I see the game I hear their music

alright that 26 step login process you listed was like 60% you being dumb and 40% jagex being dumb but besides that great video!

Great video, Jack! I remember when I was first getting into Runescape, I basically became a worker for my older cousin farming resources for him. That way he can get whatever gear or sell my labor so he can PK some noobs in the wildy.

my new favorite osrs video of all time. absolutely love to see it edit- i hope you continue your osrs journey. if so, i will 100% be tuned in!

I'm sorry child Jack, but stealing your friends Runescape account and then never fessing up when they let you play it out of the kindness of their heart and then didn't say anything when they definitely knew it was you. I'm sorry but that's one of the most evil things I've ever heard. Like on a kicking puppies level of pure evil

Runescape is a huge part of my life. I love seeing videos like this 😊 i love the community, i love that you referred to getting hooked up with gp as part of the authentic experience Hope you keep playing

This is my favourite video on youtube. I love listening to it while i play, while im falling asleep and I recommending it to every single one of my friends who played Rune like I did back in the day. Jack quickly became my favourite youtuber after I saw the Red dead video a while ago

Wow, my favorite RU-vidr making a video about my all time favorite game. What a treat!!

I hop into Old School RuneScape from time to time, just did the Easter event and there’s an entirely new city that was added. Was stunned to see 150,000 people were playing OSRS at the same time! Old School RuneScape saved Jagex for sure, because they ruined the “main” game beyond repair Also you’re right, the fact that there are two launchers you need to have running in order to play the game is a joke - but with RuneLite you know you can increase the draw distance (how far you can see) in settings?

It's cool to see you making stuff you're passionate about. Was excited when I first saw your channel a couple years back and I'm glad to see you're following your dream. Bully for you

I never really got into RuneScape but this video still really interested me. I was an Adventure Quest Worlds kid

There is no way to explain the feeling of being a returning player creating a new account to experience the magic of RuneScape all over again. My younger self would be proud of the patience and dedication I have achieved through the years playing

as a oldschool player i genuinely wish i could experience it like this

Randomly stumbled across this and ended up watching the whole thing. Excellent editing and narration. Loved it!

love this video man. yt reccomendations are really funny, I also just started playing again also a month ago and its been wild. Having Runelite is just gamechanging. There are so many bosses now and area's that I dont even remember from so long ago. Love the journey so far, now that I'm like 90% done with the quests I'm just training my skills to be able to do the rest. Would love it if you posted some updates on runescape.

Runescape (and MMOs in general) do nothing for me, but I always like hearing passionate fans talk about their old/new experiences with it

FUCK YEAH!!!

Great video! Hopefully, u still play it. Never really a game we stop playing just taking breaks from time to time

This video was such a treat to watch! As someone who returned back to OSRS around 2016-2017ish after a decade long hiatus, I shared a lot of your personal experience. The rush of nostalgia and wonder, achieving the things my kid/teen self would've killed for. I agree with you on the quest helper lmao, I prefer to use the wiki to check what items I need during the quest and after that, just immerse myself into it, no guides, no handholding, just slowly going through it, reading all the dialogue, reading lore books and figuring it out on my own. Feels a lot more rewarding, and makes me feel more connected with the world. If you ever decide to return to OSRS, I'll be the first one to binge it all up! There's nothing quite like unlocking something coveted that you put the time and work into achieve, especially as a new player. Liked, subbed and all that jazz!

As a hardcore OSRS player this video is fucking amazing😂 you’re one of my fav gaming RU-vidrs and watching you experience my fav game is so great

ruinscape

Man, the beginning of this video brought back so many memories if when I was in 4th grade playing Runescape. Played it until about like 2008-2009 then joined WoW for like 12 years. Now getting back into OSRS.

damn, props to that bennoz guy. He really hooked you up with some upgrades that not a lot of new players know to look for.

As someone that has been playing this game for 18 years, I can tell that you have the mindset of a true scaper. Not wanting to accept money from your friend, not wanting them to change agility even though it sucks (which they actually are btw). I sincerely hope you keep playing, cause the amount of end game content you have yet to explore is beyond incredible. All the end game bosses, raids, grandmaster quests, amazing hard to unlock areas like Priff and Darkmeyer. It's truly something to behold. I'd recommend giving yourself goals to complete so you have a basis of where to go on your journey. Here's my recommendation on what your goals could be: 1. Complete Legends Quest and Monkey Madness 2. Obtain a Dragon Defender 3. Obtain Barrows gear 4. Obtain a Fire Cape 5. Complete a Grandmaster quest like Dragon Slayer 2, Monkey Madness 2 or Song of the Elves 6. Obtain a unique from an endgame boss like Zulrah, Vorkath, Cerberus, God Wars, etc... 7. If you're truly addicted and cracked at the game by that point, maybe try for Infernal Cape or Quiver.

This video was awesome dude. I started playing again back in 2020. I’m currently 2265/2277 total level inching my way to max cape. Have a 4 bill bank and excited to keep playing after maxing. RuneScape hooked me when I was in second grade and I stopped playing around 2011 or so. What an amazing game and I hope you get perpetually hooked again! End game is awesome

This video brought me much joy. Such nostalgia

the process of explaining the character creation process BEFORE actually getting logged in has me dying.

Awesome to see your perspective as a returning player! I can't lie it put a smile on my face to see the pure take ya out at the wildy altar lmao I'm a pure pker and I imagine he was hella confused when he looked at the items in your inventory hahah

BRO that last TWO TIMES I revisited this classic to reconnect with my childhood, BOTH times a kind stranger at lumbridge gave me a TON of money, and BOTH times they said they just like helping out and wanted to give new players a headstart. The OSRS community is full to bursting with philanthropists that want to help others fall in love with this beautiful game. Maybe one day I'll treat myself to a membership but I only just defeated Elvarg last year, fulfilling my childhood goals. One step at a time

This video introduced me to your channel because I also grew up playing RuneScape. Been watching your videos the past few days and I’m impressed. Anyway im now subscribed to the channel lol

Currently taking a break. Thinking about runescape a lot and stumbled upon your video. Now I HAVE to go back

This was awesome man, look forward to seeing more

This was a fucking awesome video and throw back. Thank you man; I'm glad you met a few of the good community members.

1:22 Oh My Nostalgia!!!!! I'd forgotten those wardrobe setups even existed till the exact moment you said it 😅

Wow. I literally just did this last year. Never wore rune plate armor back in the day so had to do it now as an adult.

35:47 you're on your way to learning the ways of obtaining your very own Fire cape and other infamous items such as the Infernal Cape

Appreciating the usage of the Soil sound clip in the beginning, total nostalgia for 07 days 😊

This channel definetly is my best discovery this year you should have way more subs ❤

So cool to learn about this game through your play through Jack! Nice video.

ive been watching rs vids since the start of YT and this might be one of the best

this game was my childhood back in 2004, i still play to this game now and have met some amazing friends

Great vid, i loved it, I would genuinely like to see you do a video like this but for RS3 as well.

This video was nice to watch after I started playing half a year ago. It's been a long ride for me, I almost got my quest cape and I'm pretty deep into the game. But what you presented here was the nostalgia of being so naive to the game, not knowing anything and just trying to do quests and do cool shit. I miss the days of not knowing a single thing about this game, but it's also nice just seeing how far I've come personally

What a way to celebrate an incredible game. Thank you for putting in the work to organize this video

Watching you struggle at Elvarg triggered a memory I had where I too cheesed the fight and that damn rat was a struggle for me too, I laughed way to hard. Thanks

Watching this while literally grinding away at lategame really makes me so happy! To see a new or returning player to our little world and experience it like we once did will always be the greatest feeling~

Thank you for saying that about Quest Helper. I had quest cape without using it I think, I always tell people not to use it lol. Then I get bashed down XD

This was awesome i love to see people come back. Subbed.

I know they meant well, but they actually took away from your adventure by giving you all of that money and items. Some of my fondest memories of runescape are from scrounging up money to get my first rune scimitar and eventually my first full rune armor set. It doesn't mean as much when it's just given to you
