this was my childhood, ever since I was 7. I played it for 8 years straight. I loved it so much. But I left after I saw the new and "better" version of it.
***** nigga, I played that shit in like 05. I was around when you could only hold weapons in hand. I was around when niggas be asking for girlfriends and shit. So stfu
So depressing... I tried getting into the game again about a week a go and logged in, and had about 200 offline friends. People who I once spent days with online, gone off with their own lives, each on his own way.
+Fire of Jagz Indeed. I got 99 FM using braziers. 8m worth of Yews and I had around 3m worth after. Of course, my FM was around 60 when I started this method. Either way, its a farcry from what FM used to be. Remembering skillers light endless fires towards the setting sun, it makes me appreciate the time, effort, and gp that they put into it back in the day.
I got mine that way. Lighted over 28k maple logs. Lines of them. Learned how to do reverse line firemaking as well so that I would start at the bank and end at the bank to save a few seconds.. lol. First 99.
I don't miss RS, I miss the illusion of purpose that RS gave me. I miss that feeling because that's pretty much all I have ever felt because I played it too much.
The ending of this music looks like a goodbye. This music is runescape, the happy and ingenuous to the ending that goes slowly fading until the last goodbye. Goodbye runescape, we had good memories and they were all worth it.
+Augusto Konrad I think regardless of how far we got in the game, how much skill we had in the game, and amount of money we got in the game, we can all agree on two things. We all were Noobs, and we all died to a cow or goblin.
Jason Fox I used to hate noobs on runescape. I tried to play again and I noticed that there was no noobs. It was sad, i miss the time when people asked how to wear goblin armor (I did that, lol)
This song such a good representation of life. The beginning is soft, innocent. So fresh, like the beginning of a grand adventure, not knowing anything. It starts to pick up, you start to discover, make connections, find your way around. Then it kicks off with a shanty. You go off into the world, discovering something new every day, making friends, training, fighting, trading, learning, your grand adventure has begun. Then the song pulls back, becomes a little dark. You learn that life is hard, you have to persevere if you want to be the best. There's death, tragedy, loss. And then a lonely violin is introduced, pulling your heart strings. It's okay to be sad sometimes, to think about the days of old. Reflecting on your innocent days, not knowing the evil in the world. All the struggle. The very end strums a harp, thinking you wouldn't want it any other way. Those days were perfect, they shaped who you are
I used to go to my cousin's house when I was nine years old all the time to play RuneScape with him. We played it together for years until I was sixteen. I'm eighteen now and he died in a car crash a few days after Thanksgiving 2015. Now it's impossible to listen to this without crying.
+Ryan Som Yep :D Enjoy the moment I say, there were times I really hated grinding, fishing, what a waste! But in the end, you couldn't have the joy without the whole thing right.
I felt like the smartest kid in middle school when we were discussing bronze in history class and my teacher asked if anyone knew how it is made and I was the only kid who raised his hand.
LEGIT SAME THING HAPPEND TO ME I REMEMBER NOW! and the teacher asked how i knew, and i was like: 'i read the paper' XD like wtf is that a valid answer. me trying to be all smart lmao
FUCK. Same here. I also learnt bronze is made from copper and tin. Not to mention, I once insisted that there existed a Runite ore to my family. They handed me Oxford Chemistry dictionary (at age 9). It aided my confirmational bias that there's an element called Ruthenium (Ru). I also, because of that, knew there was an element named Rutherfordium (Rf) at the same age.
@@nopenope4460 Nah bruh, I have like 4000+ on RuneScape (the account is now a runescapes 3 account because of the Splitting), and I still don't know sht.
First heard about Runescape at school back in 2007. Was a surreal experience meeting my friends at the cow fields in Lumbridge and playing for many years after. So many great memories that feel so distant now. Where did the time go?
2007, that was around the time I started playing. Got to CB Lvl 100 in alittle over a half a year after I started. Still have the account, it's CB LvL 125 now.
Same. Playing OSRS just doesn't feel the same. I want to go back in time just to play this game again with all my memories erased of the current game. Ignorance truly is a bliss.
Oh gosh, the memories, the nostalgia. Absolutely brilliant track to the best and most unique MMORPG I have ever played. The tutorial island was great. I was an innocent child unknowingly starting his biggest adventure ever. Thanks Jagex for reviving RuneScape 2 and bringing back the real RuneScape
***** You seem ignorant. When did anyone say anything about cutting, it's an emotional self harm by listening to sound of such beautiful nostalgia. o.o
I haven't played this game in a looooong time lol. However, this track along with many others really know how to bring back extremely fond memories... If there's one thing Runescape was a master at, it was creating excellent soundtracks that will forever linger and bring back great memories playing this game. My favorite tracks would probably have to be Wander, Horizon, Greatness, Medieval, Tomorrow, Forever, and of course, Emperor.
Mining was my favourite skill to level back when i was a child, now i'm a material scientist, coincidence? I think not. I feel like i can trim armor in real life now :D
God dang... I'm crying on the inside. This game was a huge part of my childhood. It had such an interesting vibe to it in the old days that just pulled people in, myself included. I wish I could go back in time just to experience it all over again.
the year is 2004, you just get home from school, you grab a drink and a snack from the kitchen, you sit at the computer desk and load up the Pentium 4 Dell computer, you load up your blink 182, sum 41, linkin park playlist on windows media player, you log into runescape and continue to mine iron ore in the dwarven mine without a care in the world.... life is good
i played many games in my life, but runescape will always have that special place in my heart. this game is the definition of childhood memories and the definition of oldschool.
Runescape will always hold a special place in my heart. So many good times had and it was my gateway to vanilla WoW. As much as I love WoW to death, Runescape is and always will be my favorite childhood memory.
All these old Runescape tracks just put a knot in my stomach to listen to. Nostalgia is too real. Nothing could ever be as simple and enjoyable as playing Runescape all day again.
BloodyGaming Accidentally walking into dating session in upper room of Varrock's general store, saying "this is not a dating site" then ran off. Good times.
I miss this game so much :'( and for all u saying theres 07scape, i know but its not the same. See back in 05 nobody cared about xp or cash or whatever. phats werent skyrocketed and there wasnt gwd.People were friendly and we just wanted to explore. To see what was in the great runescape. the game is all price manips people who all care about xp and rarely do u find a friendly person. Like ud just meet someone and be like best friends and go explore n crap
+GabGa101 sadly we all moved on to face the real world but I'm glad I got to experience such a beautiful game and the priceless experience I had with it in my childhood.
i miss those old times buddy everyone was ready for an adventure i was just thinking that everyone had gone trought the years now its merely a shadow from what it was the comunnity was the best part u.u
That feeling when you are playing runescape carelessly, just having a good time, logging off and talking about it with friends what to do next. The smell of food downstairs during christmas irl while trying to unlock the jack lantern mask on runescape. Man...
Brothers and sisters, its ok to cry. Let this music remind you how happy you were back then and how simple life was without all the stress and pressure no bills to pay and life was good. :'(
I think that all too often we confuse nostalgia with sadness. Of course everyone who played runescape back then (like myself) want those days back, but the reason we have nostalgia at all is because were greatful
No matter how much I play Runescape, I always get goosebumps hearing this melody. Takes me back to the time I created my very first account on Tutorial island!
Aw man I remember me and my older brother and my other friends playing this all the time after school just like you guys, thank you for a good childhood Runescape
The memories and friendships made in this game were something special. Sometimes I go back and listen to this and other songs and just relish in the warm and fuzzy feeling I get listening to songs like this and Medieval. I sometimes wonder what ever happened to some of the people I had on my friends list. Some I knew for over 2 years....... Thanks Runescape, thank you for the amazing childhood.
This songs reminds me of being stuck on Tutorial Island. My English was so bad at that time that I didn't even know how to do the tutorial. Ooh the memories...
I had to ask my sister what cow and cabbage ment.. I was stuck on tut island for 2 days and when I got out a whole new world opened for me. This was when we had dial up internet. So many memories.
still playing rs3 to this very day, however this track brings back so much memories, i grew up with this game. it was basicly my childhood and i don't regret spendings days and days on this game, when i hear this sound i see all the nice moments flashing by .... oh runescape i love you
This reminds me of a time I could still feel pleasure. Even though I was still depressed, I could at least enjoy things. Now, I can't remember the last time I genuinely smiled. Life isn't worth it, no matter how many people insist on making you endure it as long as they have.
I remember playing runescape back when I was 8... the memories, the fragmented pieces of memory, is what I hold dear. For even though I cannot fully recall what I did, I will be forever grateful I am able to hold onto what I have.
Man. My first step into online gaming. So many memories from middle school. To all my middle school and high school pals I've lost contact with over the years: Fire D37, Firewall87, King Jesse67, BIG BAD ZACK, Foxarcher1, Mitchuhidae, SunnyBuddy1, Own3d2h3ll, and X Ninja Dark: I miss to the old days we'd talk all day in school about RuneScape, then run home and play. I miss you guys and hope y'all are doing well in life. Your old pal - Skinnaman and to the guys I went to school with and still play with: Lancerlotxp and Deadly61 - see you in Old School RuneScape this evening after work.
Playing rs for the very first time in 2004, walking around lumby with my starter kit and not knowing what to do, then i rememberd you can cut down trees as i did on tutorial island, so i just started cutting logs for no reason other than because i could, and now im on the first page of the hiscores in woodcutting
ooh i love this song! It brings back so many vivid memories of my old school runescape days. I'm just in heaven listening to this on repeat! Thank you so much for this blessing. *kisses*
This song is a classic for me. It's a nice song that basically tells a tale within the song itself. From a peaceful landscape, to being in a pirate port, to a foreboding lair, and to a hero's return.
Such a huge part of my childhood, I want to go back to when I was eight, and they didn't change the game into what it is now. I will always be thankful for the experiences I had with this game back than and hearing the soundtrack really hit a special part of me, thank you for this games creation.
Oh the good memories, rushing from school straight to the computer to log in and never leave my room, :) the memories are real and the fact that i'm crying right is heart breaking because I wish I never grew up :*(. This will hold a spot in my heart, I love RS and you will be a part of me like no other game or memory
The nostalgia of these old RS tracks makes me happy, just to see 20 years after we’re still here to just enjoy the simplicity of childhood. I hope 20 years from now there’s another generation of players that get to look back and have the same nostalgia with this as we have. Thank you for the memories 🙏
Jagex brought back Runescape 2007. You have to be a member which is around $7.50 a month but the 07 servers are running 24/7 and the majority of the community only play 07 now.
I remember using a teleport to get the grand excange, I hardly EVER used it because it would waste my money XD. Man the good times I spend talking to the randoms while minning rocks
This whole song is a metaphor for my career playing Runescape: 0:00 - 0:45 - My first time getting on being amazed, almost felt like i was waking up to a beautiful morning sun dawning on a bright new age of my life. Total noob 0:45 - 1:05 - Starting to grow a bit more and learn new tricks slowly at first, but then at a quickening pace. 1:05 - 1:45 - I feel like I'm starting to master the game! Every day is so much fun as I'm growing stronger and I'm at the peak of all highs! I consider myself a senior player. 1:45 - 2:20 - My first real setbacks. I get dropped in the Wildy or at the duel arena for BANK and I find myself poor with nobody to help me get back to the heights I fell from. My interest in the game wanes 2:20 - 3:00 - As I grow older and my friends tell me to move on from the game, I slowly play less and less until one day I drop the game From 3:00 - The old Runescape saying reminds me "You never actually quit RS, you only take breaks" I finally came back to play OSRS a month ago and I'm so happy to have rediscovered everything. This game is timeless and has left an indelible impression on my life! Cheers to the most important game of my childhood and quite possibly my life :')
Back when I was in middle school, some friends of mine told me to check out some online game they were playing. At first, I wasn't really interested, but I ended up checking it out just so they would stop bugging me about playing with them. I was instantly hooked and found myself playing every day with my friends. RuneScape was such a pivotal game for me (hence the avatar). Now, I'm working on a project that's heavily inspired by this game, and I don't think I ever would have gotten the idea for it without playing this game. It's funny how that "some online game" ended up to the creation of perhaps the most important thing in my life.
i remember in 2006.....when i was in the 3rd grade...my friend told me about a game named "runescape"....that was the greatest day in my life...R.I.P nice memories...R.I.P runescape...T-T
This may be because I joined right after 2007, but I don't see any issues with 2008 and later. The only update(s) I don't like are the ones after the EoC.
Reading all those commets I was like. No please dont , runescape is alive please people comback. Wish I joined a bit earlier. I enjoy runescape now but it feels like I missed out on soo much. All those songs touch a place that no other song can reach. They all have different feelings and... runescape is a masterpeace that can never be recreated...
People remember this so well because we were all kids that were stuck on tut island for multiple days hearing this over and over and STILL having a blast
Thank you jagex u gave me an amazing childhood to remember ....... From the second i logged on walking around lummy...to achieving rune platebody and completing my first ever rune set.... to dying on my friends account logging onto member for the first time losing g maul in the desert with no waterskins... to dying in wild also losing his dlong.... to gaining ancients for the first time and owning everyone in og clan wars. This game was honestly crazy how it took over my life...but will remember it always
I'm 24 years old.. and this brings tears in my eyes! Oh how I wish I could get that good old feeling again, coming home from school and just hop on to RuneScape for hours on end.
