Wheelchair7, if you're still out there, it's Blindboar100. You were my best friend. It's been 15 years, and we're nudging into our 30s soon. I hope you're doing well. I still remember calling you on the house phone and talking about runescape and what not. Love you, man.
You can still wander blindly through Runescape after starting again, following having quit in mid-2006. "What the hell is this Kourend place you speak of?
@Addict I remember trying to go to Varrock and getting lost in the haunted forest with the mansion in it for what felt like hours. Looking back it wasn’t that big of an area but to me as a kid it felt immense and super dangerous
Insanityltself TRUE! happened when I was in science class when I was in 8th grade, some kid stood and said "I have a question!" This proceeded to happen and omfg the teacher laughed so hard. He was playing RuneScape at the time lol.
i learned most of the english language just from this game. then everyone in class asked me how do i keep getting A+ on all english tests which i replied to with one word: runescape. :D
i only have one memory of struggling to comprehend english, and it was some quest description telling me where to find the varrock wizard i must have become fluent so hecking quick, it might have taken me 4-5 years before i was reading the entirety of hitchikers guide no problem, kids learn so darned fast when you drop them into english environments like runescape
back in my day, there was no Stronghold of Security... I had to smuggle runes from the castle in Wilderness. Still to this day i remember climbing ladders of those towers trying log out & escape the high level players trying to kill me. True golden days of my childhood :)
Nah. I was browsing the web looking for songs to play and came across this song. But as much as I like this song (and the game) it isn't something that'd I'd play. Maybe another song this game or something. I do love the soundtrack. So much nostalgia!
I Just want to say thank you to everyone in the comments. I literally spent almost an hour listening to this song on repeat and enjoying your stories. Really can’t get any better than the memories we all had. Anyone remember the rainbow boots tho!! I rocked those every time I got on lmao
shut up what is wrong with you bro literally get a job how is your time so void of value that you have an hour to listen to the same song on repeat and read youtube comments
When i was like 12 i got ranger boots from a clue scroll in 2007, I had no idea they were one of the most valuable items in the entire game at the time. I was dirt poor and always wishing to be rich on the game. I traded the boots to some guy for a dragon dagger I couldnt even wield yet lol. It was like giving away a winning lottery ticket for nothing. When I told my older brother he got super mad at me. I remember the guy I traded it too was so happy and I was just clueless why. A fun memory.
Days when hitting 7's with a scimmi was an accomplishment, seeing players training at spiders, goblins and just being amazed at the community, proud I made it to see that in 2007, the no xp waste and efficiency training was fun, but can't beat the classic
I'll always remember mining in Al Kharid before I was a high enough level to avoid the scorpions, and being amazed at someone hitting 9s with an addy 2h
I started playing this again last year during the lockdowns and met a pretty chill guy in the baking club. His name was AdamRadam333 and we played every day for hours on end. One day he logs in and says he has covid and gave me everything on his account. It wasn't much more than full black armour and weaponry and like 4,000 GP but damn it I'm keeping it forever. To my friend AdamRadam333 who I only knew for a short time, I miss you man. I'm sorry I couldn't play again with you before you died. I love you ya old bastard and hopefully your Detroit Lions win a Superbowl soon.
@@kablooey2369 Especially RuneScape, if you ever plan on spending 10000+ hours on a game, do it on osrs or RuneScape 3, it's worth it, getting a 99 is a very good experience.
Grind the account to full 99, then wander around wilderness wearing nothing but full black and 4000 gold. You'll probably die every time dropping just those full black + 4k gp, and people will spread the story.
Naah man I was walking the whole way around to don't pay 10 coins. Crossing the scorpions from above. There was no rest at that time so it took me 5 minutes.
as someone who played OSRS for the first time in 2018, I'm just glad they decided to keep updating it, so I could still experience this masterpiece of a game. Kinda wish I discovered it sooner but oh well, better late than never. Definitely a highlight of my late childhood
Think back. The year is 2005. You are a young child, wasting his days away at a computer screen, unlocking all the mysteries of Runescape. Countless hours being spent doing mindless and uninteresting tasks that are somehow so compelling, like chopping trees, burning logs, killing goblins, gathering gold, creating friendships with strangers, and standing in Lumbridge castle saying "press 111 for hot bf." You have absolutely no cares in the world - no bills to pay, no job to wake up to, no pestering responsibilities. Just you, a computer, and Runescape. I miss that. No worries other than that guy "xXx1337saucexXx" calling you a noob. Remember your childhood and its mystical presence in your consciousness. It is gone forever.
This game taught me: Real life skills English at it's finest The name of thousands of monsters and beasts The name of many materials how to cook, fish and make fire How to not be awkward How to make friends And lastly how to scam people
I'm happy and sad when I hear this . I'm now 30years old but when I hear this I just feel like I'm 15years old again with all the friends I used to had
@@Dan4096 Same age aswell, but i picked it up again 3 day ago. It feels good to be back for now, even now that my old account is on rs3, takes some time to adjust but it takes me back.
Then, after you sold all the goblin mails you had, you had to do the Goblin Mails coloring quest, and go hunting after all those things all over again.
jeroen blom I've been playing since 2006, i never experienced classic but RS2 was quite fun aswell. Now, it is packed with tons of more content that any new player would rather choose over 07 Runescape. But I know that feel too. It was very community oriented back then
Imagine living to the age of 90, being on your deathbed surrounded by family and loved ones. After breathing your final breath, you see the world around you start to fade to darkness, with a single light in the center getting brighter, you hear a quiet sound grow louder until you suddenly you find yourself at steps of Lumbridge Castle with this playing in the background...
True story bro. ~Sheds tear~ I'll play runescape again... WHEN THEY ALLOW YOU TO USE OLD CHARACTERS ON THE OLD SERVERS LIKE WTF THIS IS BULLSHIT ARGHHHHHHHHH! But yeah... Seriously messed up that they want me to make a new character after all those years to play the game I signed up for...
I once had a girlfriend in Runescape named Kate, we used to hang a lot, she used to go and talk to the other guys and trick them to give her items and then she would come and share with me. Damn, I miss Katey.
2005... Chopping your very first tree next to the giant castle... Fighting your very first lvl 2 goblin... Asking for free items from high lvl players... Telling Hans you are going to kill everyone... Asking others how to put on goblin armor... Running away from the highway man not far from Draynor Village... Killing chickens in the near-by farm... Asking for 10gp from players to pass the Al-Kharid gate... Finding out later that you could of just walked around the damn fence... The golden days of Runescape that ME & im sure the rest of you will never forget...
+Malcolm Ness Granger lol I was somewhat smart as a 12 year old. First I looked to the right to see if there was any other way into the desert, then I followed the fence passed the cow field and went all the way around and was like "what a rip off." I then started tell players that the guards were scammers l0l.
I will share my first minutes that I had in RuneScape very, very long ago, which I still remember in detail: I finally got off Tutorial Island where I was stuck for days. I was stuck there because my English was too bad to understand the tasks you had to complete. Along with a few other friends from school, we decided to walk around and explore the different areas. Suddenly somewhere in Lumbridge, I found a steel longsword laying on the ground. This totally made me think that I acquired a powerful weapon. Unfortunately, I got really disappointed when it told me that I needed an Attack level of 5 to wield it. After a while, we got in a cave full of aggressive monsters. I was totally not aware where I was and felt really scared (it probably were the first few levels of Stronghold Security). The thought of dying made me anxious. My heart was pounding and I eventually ended up dying. I remember almost crying about all the items from tutorial island that I lost. However, I felt some relief from keeping the steel longsword of which I was very proud of. A few minutes later on the bridge in Lumbridge, a mysterious old man appeared who gave me around 600 coins. I could not believe that I got so much coins and felt like the richest person in the world. It made my day.
Old RuneScape connects our generation so much, most of us are college age or a bit older now, we all grew up at the same time and share the memories of this wonderful game in its golden age. Buying nostalgia, 20k.
+Bogmire777 I would give anything just to sit in front of my old computer in 2005. 11 years later, I'm listening to this song while doing an essay for college... There will be nothing like this game ever again. Kids from 90's growing up in the 00's. Priceless.
+Cesar Martans Boy, the things I would do to just live those few years of my childhood moment by moment again. I'll never forget those days, and I'm not saying this just for Runescape (mostly yes), but all things early 2000s in general. I didn't mind that I was utterly clueless as to how the game worked, or that I died so frequently, because upon death, I am always welcomed by the soothing beautiful track that is this BGM.
I guess we are very lucky to have experienced OSRS in our childhoods, this was one of the simplest MMOs of its time and still is the most beloved by its fanbase, you never see a comment bashing it, only people holding it near and dear to their hearts. This is why games should be considered art, such a simple game, yet so many lives made better by it and good memories created.
Ughh I want to go back to the good old nooby runescape times.. scared as shit to explore the wildy, I alwaya took 3 items to explore the wildy while crapping my pants.. playing this game for 7+ hours a day.. good times, now Im almost turning 17 This game still has a place in my heart forever!
venichen1 The fact that I know almost everything about the game doesn't make it nostalgic anymore. It took me 3 days to complete tut island when I started RS.
Love to u all, we are a great generation. Build upon the good old rs days, remember embrace the good old days and go fur wards. But Dont lose touch with the child in you. That child like awe, wonder and enthusiasm can still be accessed, its not gone. We still all have "god", "love", "ego less mind“ whatever you want to call it within us. A mind without judgment and labeling, that mind that logged in for the first time so many years ago. Be conscious about it, feel your senses when listening to osrs music and enjoy the moment fully, Peace y'all ✌️
Wow, it's really beautiful to see someone who enjoys this in a spiritual way. This game is a symbol of our inner childs. Thank you for reminding all of that. And hope to see you in osrs, and bless for your life
In the old days, a girl in RuneScape wanted to be my girlfriend, but I actually rejected out of fear because I was too young. She would host a marriage in Lumbridge Castle with diamond rings, but my 699 gp bank could never afford those! Melinavz, if you ever read this and in the case you weren't a scammer, sorry to break your heart.
On a cold October night in 2006 playing on my windows XP computer with dial up, in my plaid pajamas casting earth strike on a goblin in an absolute trance.
Can't say that I've ever played Runescape before. I just think the ost is beautiful. I come here every now and again to listing to this theme in particular.
I remember, killing goblins across the river... trying to equip a goblin mail... still wearing steel armour at combat level 40... begging for 10gp for that damn gate.... that special moment when a goblin dropped a steel full helm for the first time... people asking for girlfriends... player weddings at Lumbridge Chapel... Hans still panicking because you would kill everyone... the sound of people spinning flax in the castle... people begging for law runes to Varrock because they were too lazy to walk... hearing this song again after you had died in the wilderness... NOSTALGIA
I still remember showing my cousin that was 7 years older than me this game for the first time back in 2005. Him and I played it together for years along with almost any other game you can think of. He passed away in 2021 and I've never felt so lost not having my buddy there. I come back and listen to these songs and for a minute im 12 years old again having a blast with my best friend.
Man, I stayed in lumby castle for like the first 3 days of my account's existence. Then I followed someone to ask him a question and he led me across the river (toward the Al Kharid gate) before I could react. I was hopelessly lost for over a week.
My top-10 favorite RuneScape childhood memories Buying fire 1k fishing lvls?? flash2:wave:selling lobsters 300gp each w00t gratz Oh dear, you're dead. You accidentally burn the lobster. Trimming armour 10k My main is cb 126 duel me noob Cast High Level Alchemy -> Yew Longbow
I remember I met this random girl in Falador when I was just starting (i was probably 10 or 11), she led me to an upstairs building and made me headbang behind her while she bowed. Best day of my life... She never added me back ;(
OSRS is an app you can still play on your phone right now. It’s not over. It’s just like it was. One of the best things ever. I’ve had my account for 15 years I still log on and level it up from time to time. This is a life long game !
This soundtrack always made me sad. Even when I just started playing the game so many years ago, with absolutely no nostalgia involved, it still made me sad. But in a happy way.
Thane Soren This track has so much power, so much emotion, behind it. I strongly believe that the first 28 seconds of this song is the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. And that's not just because of my massive bias towards RuneScape. It's simply an amazing track.
Shoutout to bluerose_13x, you gave me my first cut sapphire at 3:30pm in September 2002(?) I dunno why I specifically remember that. I'm 33 now and haven't played RS in like 13 years
I am bluerose_13x, I dont exactly remember you but I do remember giving away a lot of my stuff back when i played runescape and DAMN! WHAT A SMALL WORLD WE LIVE IN🥹
I remember coming home from elementary school having this as the only thing I looked forward to, whether it was what skill I would level, how much GP I would make, the house parties on world 31 that I would go to especially after getting my first membership, etc. Having little social interaction and few friends, runescape was my best friend. Now grown up and graduated, i've tried to get back into it, but the mystique and wanderlust of playing runescape as a child can no longer be replicated. I'm sure just like the rest of you, there were different aspirations and more important things that came up in my life to deal with, so I gradually stopped playing. Now looking back at it, I never realized how pivotal of a role runescape had in my childhood until I grew old enough to view it from a different perspective. It somewhat messes with you on an emotional spectrum too, and the music in this game does a fine job in making you reminisce. But one thing is clear..Runescape remains in my heart.
You might hate noobs when you are playing this game, but this song makes you wanna miss the noobs (including you as a noob) and their noobiness haha. Nostalgia...
Accidentaly leaving Falador west bank in a PVP world whilst skulled, dying with my dragon pick equipped and rage quitting. (it was worth maybe 15m at the time).
@@Pretency That's not old school enough. OP is talking about the original wilderness free-kill zone which goes way back to the first few years of Runescape.
Trying PVP first time ever, got myself full rune and a 2h sword ready to kick ass. Got instakilled by some dude wearing nothing but monk robes and dragon claws. Never PVP'd again.
Runescape is a big part of my childhood, i played it all day everyday, and i really wish i could go back to the good old days just sit there playing without a single care, the music is so nostalgic. However i dont think i can ever enjoy Runescape the same way i used to, i know there's an oldschool Rs server and all but it just doesnt feel the same way it used to, which is sad, i had so much fun
Yeah me too, when i was 7 i started playin rs, I loved it. It was huge part of my childhood. All my friends played it too. If i now try play rs its not even close same :( nostalgic
That old school runescape put up by Fagex isn't even the same Runescape we all played back in 2006-2007. They changed a lot of things, feels very wrong.
Cheers Everyone. We may never pk at the castle again, we may never get drunk off beer again in the varrok pub, and we may not have the community we had before EoC, but we got to live the glory days and it will stay with us forever. Memories of our youth.. Flash1:wave:RIP Runescape. You walked into a death dot and lost everything u had.
That actually makde me ycry..I remmeber going deep wild with some friends to kill that red demon in f2p hoping for a big drop but there was never a big drop lol.. Or doing the train starting at lumbridge with 3people ending at fucking falador with 50people omygod those dayz.. But tommorow is f2p coming online on rs2007 lets all go online and try to relive our childhood God bless this game..
Oh God. I remember going as an addy (adamant) noob to Clan Wars, which used to be in the Wilderness. The whole trip, along with another for some defense against the monsters on the way, gosh. And then using Auto-typer to advertise for people to join the clan, and then leaving it and instead just typing the same messages again and again. All the people who would gather together, all the typers who would compete for recruits, and who would be trying to increase their ranks :P And now Clan Wars is dead. That hurts... R.I.P Clan Wars, and R.I.P to the community that existed before EOC, but is gone now. (I wouldn't really have anything against EOC but since it seems like EOC has lead to the community becoming so dimished... yeah...) PS. I realize EOC and the Wildy update that made it completely PVP are different but yeah...
Angel Santoyo Fuck RuneScape, IDK why Im here, I guess Im just a noob at RO nao, but hey, we feel the same thing, RO is dead, now shit crap like Tera or any of those BS came.
Mann this song opens some kinda weird shit in my body, this opens my heart, very strange feeling. I feel like vomiting because the nostagic is so dam strong. I mean it was a great time, but i dont know this song brings tears to me. And brings up so many emotions i feel like vomiting. But i also feel a inner bliss, this song is heaven on earth, i can let go of everything while listening this. No music ever will give me the same sensations as this song except medival/ spirit from rs those are also beautiful .
So many AMAZING memories... From getting hacked, scammed, being terrified of going into the wildy, spending hours at clan wars, asking people to do their skill cape emotes, and meeting great people that I wish I had kept in contact with (flame2231, you were a great friend man!!). Damn I'm 25 now and I wish I was a kid again
Ah, Man. This music. It brings back those memories of me and my classmate farming goblins and picking bones to sell. This was the only game I've ever joined a clan.
i first played rsclassic in 2003 and it was fascinating. i remember back then with my older mates who first introduced me to the game, when we were talking about "that new rs" and how weird it was at first. i was the first one to migrate to rs2 tho and it was fucking awesome. remember shit ton of bugs etc. ah.. the good ole days
I played RS the first time like 12 years ago and this song still gets me...Got back to playing it two days ago and ended up playing six houres straight...Its not the same as back in the day but it still gives me some of that feeling back from back then...
Just something, something about this game always has you coming back. Maybe it’s the music, or the quests, or the friends you’ve made, a free membership, maybe even the grind of maxing out a skill. I am not a skilled OSRS player by any means, but I absolutely love the music and I found the gameplay to be very satisfying. I hope you guys keep enjoying this game!!
I have such fond memories playing Runescape with my friends after school for hours and hours, back around 2006-2009. Hearing this soundtrack is so bittersweet. I can still remember clearly how life was back then, how simple everything seemed, and how everything in the world fell into place because I had my friends and we had Runescape and msn messenger and that’s all we really had to worry about. Life has changed so much now, most of those friends have drifted away, and things don’t seem as simple, but these core memories and experiences will always be a part of who I am.
No matter what amazing games I play in the future, with beautiful graphics and amazing detailed stories, I will never forget my first PC gaming experience; from killing goblins in Lumbridge, to running terrified through the Wilderness, to finally slaying a dragon. Runescape will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Ahh the nights I’d be up all night till the crack of dawn playing this game. Killing hill giants, completing quests, chopping wood, fishing, trying to get my pet cat. God do I miss the golden days of runescape. Brings back so many good memories.
