Top 10 Players Who Changed RuneScape 

You don't stop playing RuneScape, you just take breaks.

you guys remember when training next to someone made you best friends automatically?

“Unregistered Hypercam2” is the most nostalgic part of this video.

some of us literally had an entire second life on this game lmao

I remember the endless hours in the Varrock bank looking at people in their fancy trim armor, wondering how they made so much money thinking, "One day I'll have that..."

The community is trash compared to what it used to be. But you made some solid points. Everyone just kind of grew up. It became less and less about the social factor and more about simply progressing, sort of like how it is as you get older in real life. It’s sort of bittersweet to think about, really.

#2 actually made me cry. I just realized how much of an impact this game had on me growing up. I didn't have friends in middle or high school, hell I got beat up a shitload. But I had the sandwich lady, the evil chicken, armor trimmers, selling 1k pure essence for 100k. This game is like family to me, I cried when they forced me to play evolution of combat. I heard OSRS had a poll going and I came straight back.

RS Classic. I remember the first time I bought "full Rune" - naturally, I thought I ws invincible. So I went PKing. Died within 10 minutes. As a 11 year old, I was devastated and went back to mining coal. There is something special anout this game....

Hey man today has been the saddest day in my life. Today my dad passed away, he died of brain cancer but he's in a better place. Seeing this video has just made my day and bought a smile to my face. Cheers josh

"You never quit Runescape, you're only ever afk" ;) welcome back bro

i remember when clan wars was first introduced and we had to run past all the revenants to get there in the wild.. good times.. after a solid clan war day we’d go rev hunting

Remember being a kid in school and there was a snow day and school was canceled for the day? The excitement I would get knowing I could stay home and play runescape all day was such a great feeling.

Great editing on this man, top notch :)

I remember in 2009 skipping dinner so I could go to Ice Mountain and see famous Runescape people

I met my girlfriend of now six years , on RuneScape, from half way across the country. and now, we have a baby on the way :)

Everyone in the comments has been playing since 2001... then there's me (34 yo) who started playing 2 days ago thanks to Ice Poseidon. I'm already hooked and I'm wondering why I never heard about the game here in Italy back in the days...

I’ve been playing OSRS a TON for the last few weeks. I’ve watched so many of your videos and I was so saddened to see you’d stopped uploading to this channel. Very happy to have you back!

THE LEGEND NEVER DIES

I remember playing in 2002 and seeing Runescape have over 1,000 players on at the same time. I thought it was CRAZY that many people were playing a game at the same time lol

2001-2008 were the best years of runescape. So many memories, met some great players. Some of which have passed on.

Awesome new graphics! Loving the increased video quality!

RuneScape is one if those games that are never talked about, but everybody plays/heard of.

omg at the end when he said "no one needs help walking from varrok to falador or dresses up and stands in this stupid spot anymore" that HIT me! Cheers to the FELLOW OGS!

Zezima will always be the legend in my heart, I started back when I was 10, 17 years ago. I ran into him more times than I can count and he was always the best period. Always gave me something to strive for in the game.

I dont play runescape anymore but I watch this for the nostalgic

I quit Runescape back when EoC came out, but this is so nostalgic to watch. I was one of those nooby kids who didn't know what they were doing half the time and spammed Zezima whenever he logged on lol.

I remember back when I was in middle school I went to my public library being limited to an hour at a time it was fun

"Jagex felt smithing should yield more reward" So for the past 12+ years you had to be level 99 smithing to make level 50 combat armor. LOL

Am I dreaming? Or did mote plox actually come back.

Did they make rune amor blue because bleu rose was the first in 99smithing??

I started RuneScape at 6 years old. This game has been a huge part of my life, and I actually get emotional seeing videos of the old game. I was never very "good" at the game, I've never even maxed my account after 14 years playing. Granted, I didn't really start playing until I was around 10-12 years old. I was too young to understand a lot of it when I started. I remember a funny story from my young days: My cousin, when I was 7 years old, took me (in RuneScape) to the volcano in Karamja. I had almost my entire bank on me, which was about 17k worth of stuff and coins lmao. My cousin, who was 14 at the time, failed to mention the dangers awaiting me in the volcano. I died, and lost everything. I remember crying over that XD. Man, to think about the fact that I actually cried over 17k, and now have a party hat..... I've watched this game grow. I grew up with it! The older I got, the more I understood it. The most important part of the game to me: The community. I grew up in a fairly rough life. I was an outcast most of my life growing up. I'm not what most people picture as a "nerd". I'm fairly attractive, grew up playing sports, etc. I was not a "gamer". To this day, I'm not sure why I grew up the way I did, but it's how it was. RuneScape was a "safe haven" for me. I have a pretty great life now. In college, entering the military soon as a Pararescueman... but the longest and closest relationships I have ever had, were on RuneScape. To this day, I still talk to a few people I met on RuneScape when I was 9, 10, 11+ years old. I'm 20 now, and have had friendships of 10+ years that I'm closer with than anyone in my life today. I have even met one in real life! I learned a lot on RuneScape, and it truly affected my life. It's crazy, when you really think about it, how influenced I and many others were and still are by events in RuneScape. I still remember the Flavor massacre like it was yesterday hahahah. How time flies :(

The last couple points of this vid made me tear up, no lie. 21 now and played when i was 10-12. Life wound up getting in the way until just recently osrs mobile came out...been back at it for 10 days and already hooked all over again! All f2p stats over 40 already and almost 2 mil in the bank. Just one more thing making me realize just how much I've grown...not sure how pk'ing is gonna work on mobile though. Can't do nearly the same mechanics as PC. Also stoked to earn membership via bonds. But the community is amazing still! Already made a dozen friends and its just great to shoot the shit and help people quest/train/merch/etc. Many of the people I've connected with are just the kind of people described in the last point and that nostalgia brings us closer together and feels authentic. So grateful for osrs mobile!!

YOU'RE ALIVE

U forgot about my boy @penguinz0. Most monkey nuts collected by a single person

I remember playing this when I was new I got scammed by someone they said to drop coins and he will give me an item, dude just picked it up and walked away 😂

I still remember fighting and killing Zezima at Castle Wars back in like 2008 or so back when my combat level was in the 90s. I ran into him a few times over the years when I was playing and even got have a brief conversation with him which surprised me because he was usually quiet in game.

It's almost like he never left at all!

A mote top 10? Today is a good day.

I still cry everytime I watch this video. I have so many good memories on this game and met great friends. I even met Zezima in real life when I was in Amsterdam a few years ago. after he saw my RS tattoo on my arm, we talked for a few hours and even signed my arm right next to the tattoo. After he left I went straight for a tattoo shop to get his autograph permanently on my body. Still the best thing that ever happened to me.

Makes me sad to know how big rs was, then jagex literally shot themselves in the head.

So glad your back. I started watching your videos before I started playing old school. You got me into this game so screw you for ruining my life. Also thank you. Glad your back!

This video was so nostalgic man, thanks for making it!

This brought back so many memories. I thank you for uploading this video! What makes me feel the worst is that I can't remember what happened on the day when I played Runescape for the last time and for what reason I never logged in back. Making an account on OSRS, will continue like the old days.

Omg I remember Zezima! The only time I ever encountered him the game crashed because there were so many people following him!

*Good to see you back! Hopefully more to come*

Huge welcome back to youtube ! Most humble and pure hearted content creator in the community. Your videos are the first 07 content I watched and you got me back into the game hugely! Now I am making my own 07 videos. The biggest influence behind it was you. Love

Ahhh Runescape...Just started a mobile account....14 years later and you guys gave me killing cows again 😂❤️

I miss early 2000's internet, good times.

Thank you for this video, I honestly didn't expect number 2 and number 1, and for them to hit really hard like they did. Kind of makes me never want this game to end. Sure, there might be private servers/emulators of it like Star Wars Galaxies has, but it won't be the same in my eyes. Like, I loved playing RS2 as a kid and messing around, and now I want to play OSRS, but the lack of motivation to work back up and also relearn the end-game content keeps me from doing so. And the main fact of me wanting to keep RS2 stuff in the past as memories of how I grew up on the internet. I miss all the things I did 10 years ago, I want to relive them at their fullest, not as some recreation. In the end, Runescape will have a place in my heart forever.

I missed you man, made me happy to see your video in my sub box

RS is definitely a relic of the past for me. The joy it gave back in the day is something it never managed to do afterwards.

Kids today when you pk someone: *Sit* Kids back then: *Cya*

Hey welcome back mote! Love the new intro, effects, and outro! Keep it up man, we’re all looking forward to these videos!

Welcome back!! :)

Watching these makes me feel ancient. I'm just getting back into the game, the last time I played was on dial-up internet.

Zezimas facebook is full of level bragging and it ends with "in a relationship" with no posts after it

Number 2: YOU *blushing intensifies*

This was a good video. I liked the editing and the content is fascinating and informative. Glad to see you back! :)

I feel like I’m one of the youngest playing now 😭 This is so true! The players is what makes it Runescape, Runescape! I started when I was 9 and I came back bc of quarantine (I am now 21). But once quarantine ends I can’t play anymore since the game is very time consuming and I have school. Everyone who plays is 20 years old or above. Some with kids, wives and a job. No new players are coming in and this is a huge problem! I just started up 2 weeks ago and the map is SO empty compared to how it was before ... crawling w people everywhere and making friends and talking. Also a lot of the older men are sort of creepy and constantly ask for nudes in exchange for millions of gp 😂😂 ya’ll gotta chill. But I believe you never leave runescape 💗 this shaped my childhood and honestly taught me a lot about the economy and business ahahah. I love how we are grew up together. Let’s not talk about the day we all leave 😭😭 I think something will happen soon to make it blow up again. It’s BORING if the map is so empty they should delete parts of the map that no one uses so we pass by more players and it feels like more of a community!

I met one of my closest friends capturing crimson swifts a few days after the release of hunter back in 06, almost 20 years later we still train together every now and then - shout-out to my boy Leo

The return of Mote Plox, nice to have you back dude :)

WELCOME BACK FAM!!!!

8:16 yes, and one of these private servers we played for 2 months upon release of EOC was the one you got that video of all them flax bots from. and that was Project RS06. Thanks again for using my footage btw. I heard of you because some friend was like "woah didn't know you knew Mote Plox" and I was like who tf is that? :P

Currently on a Nostalgia kick, coming back to Runescape after years and watching vids like this. Good times.

Glad to see you back :~)

Awesome video, if Zezima wasn't number 1, I didn't know who would. But great video, great ending!

I started playing when i was only 12 years old. I did all the free quests, and worked countless hours on my levels. I fell away for many years, and the porting to bile has brought me back. I've started completely fresh, and this game still after 6 years away from it brings back such fond memories. OSRS FOR LIFE!!!!

I remember constantly typing "buying 300___" or "selling headless arrows" over and over among a sea of 1000 other people doing the same thing haha

"Nobody longer dresses up and stands at this stupid spot for whatever reason" It is so incredibly weird how that line touched me more then remembering my first real love without being ashamed of it.

"People make instagram accounts for their runescape accounts. Something unheard of back in the day." - False. We all had a myspace profile for our characters to show off our stats.

Zezima was God. I looked up to him. lol

Great video. This channel seems awesome, I can't wait to watch everything

When you're higher on a list than woox and zezima FeelsAmazingMan

THE LEGEND IS BACK!

God bless you moteplox I hope to see more content from you some day rs will love on forever

I actually remember buying a rune sq off of bluerose for like 400k or something like that when they first came out. Cant remember the exact amount for some reason I think they were beign sold for 400k...

hey

OMFG do my eyes deceive me ??? Papa mote is back. I missed you bro.

this was very entertaining to watch :D I came back to old school rs since 2 days after leaving this game behind for over 10 years. I'm enjoying it a lot again

Awsome video, thanks for uploading it. I appreciate you. Youre a great youtuber.

I once got lured by the dark wizard method... I was like 7 and I thought this was someone just leading me to Varrock. Luckily I got out just in time to save my 10 combat self!

top 10 Most G.E. Valueable Items that Spawn in game and can be picked up. Thanks for coming back.

Started playing again a few weeks ago after being gone for 10 years. I started playing in 2003 as an 8 year old (just did the math now and I am shooketh). I'm 24 now and I love the trip down memory lane this video takes. Definitely miss the community, truly what I logged in for everyday after school.

Great video, brought my childhood back

Selling 13 Trouts

only a few people know the truth behing oldschool success and it was no thanks to so wrecked but thanks from a third party software called 2006scape who success on having many players aparently 300k players supporting 2006scape and this caught jagex attention and they closed the website down and sue the owner of that website, so it could be said that jagex saw the huge amount of support from players to 2006scape and decided to release 2006scape, so wrecked take all the credit but in the reality it was thanks to the people behing 2006scape.

love your work!!

I'm 18 and when I was a kid I didn't really grow up with internet. But a month ago one of my friends asked me to play osrs. And I'm like "Am I too late?". His response "It's never too late". This game has blown my mind and I can feel nostalgia that I never had.

I never got to see zezima. But I was online when he went online in friends list

I think RUNESCAPE should advertise to get more young players.

Man I remember playing this like 15 years ago... I started playing again for fun. People seem to be a lot nicer and the members give out a lot of stuff to new guys. I remember when people would log on for like an hour before school in the morning just to cut some yews.

I haven't like or commented on a video on RU-vid in a VERY LONG time... but I would like to say thank you for this video it brought back a lot of nostalgia and relit my love of this game!

In rs3, rune armor can now be made at level 50 smithing

You actually think botting is no longer possible? That's cute.

God I remember being in like grade 6 and starting runescape for the first time, I still have my account from the day I started, tho I dont play it anymore as Im more tuned to osrs and it's an rs3 acc, still, seeing things like this, brings back such nostalgia to me, seeing how runescape used to be, to what it is now, and honestly, I feel honored to have been able to start playing when I did, because if wasnt introduced to this game, I probabbly would have never started playing it. Really good video mote, Keep up the good work mate

Amazing video mate.

I just had a crazy old memory hit me. In the days before the ge, i used to buy tuna off a guy who was fishing sharks or somethin. That feeling of needing supplies, sending someone a message, meeting up with them, and trading goods is irreplacable. I truly feel like the g.e., helpful as it may seems, draw away from the complete adventure experience. Its too easy now to just buy what you need at a set price whenever you want without talking to anyone. And ive now done it that way for so many years i almost forgot how things used to be. Yes the game would have a higher qol with the ge, but it would also loose something that made it truly immersive

What about The Old Nite?

This video really hit me in the feels. Made me tear up. Miss those good old days.

osrs is one of those games that brings back so much nostalgia but is also a timeless game. Something no mmo will ever be able to do ever,
