Zezima once saw me get scammed when I first started playing and got the guy banned and offered to buy my stuff back for me. He said he never talked to people because they all wanted to know how he became so good but wanted to make sure no one ruined people's experiences of the game.
The old nite :/ kinda teard up a bit. I remebr when i was younger woundering what that statue in the wildy meant. Glad it was something meaningful. Rip
Started playing in 04, back then Zezima was a superstar. Everyone knew him, kids in school referenced him haha. But I gotta have love for the Old Nite too. R.I.P run escape just doesn't have a community like this anymore
Prodigy Bangah I know Zezima all too well, and I wouldn't consider myself a veteran player, more like a seasonded one(6 or 7 years of playing, don't really remember) The real veteran one would probably be The Old Nite
you sir are a very underrated runescape youtuber. I've quit this game long ago and used to make runescape pk videos under the name of Pkershadow10. I'm so glad I ran into your channel. Already subbed like 15 minutes ago, but I just had to show my appreciation for the content you deliver. It's very interesting and I hope you make it far with what you've got. Good luck buddy :)
That is why zezima was just boss. Bitch would just go hard all day, quiet AF. Seriously though I liked runescape because of the short form communication. WILL YOU EVER GO HARDCORE AGAIN MISTER ZEZIMA *CHOP* *CHOP* *turn* No. *CHOP* CHOP*
Bluerose13x first player to hit 99 smithing back in classic, therefore being the only player to have access to/able to sell the r2h , the most powerful f2p weapon of that era. Always the first name I remember lol.
I remember the day N0valyfe overtook Zezima for Rank 1. All of Runescape was literally watching the hiscores lol and yea, it was kinda revolutionary. The Zezima/N0valyfe/Uloveme/Yogosun/Kingduffy 1 days...
Mad respect bro, you deserve more subs. We need more respectable scapers like yourself. Can't wait to see more content. Please don't give up, you're gonna be the next big thing for sure bruh.
Kalen Mithcell Thanks Kalen. :) I appreciate that, and whatever happens, I look forward to seeing more of you and others like you who support our channel. :)
You are one bomb of nostalgia Mote, I recently started playing again and just today I found your channel. All these facts, top lists and such gave so many memories. You are the guy with the channel most veterans and RS-history curious players were looking out for, since there never has been any channel to do so. Thank you, and please do not stop, and if you do one day, please never ever delete your videos.
Wow. This hit me hard watching this. I remember seeing Zezima and Yogosun in the highscores like it was yesterday. I dreamed of getting that good at this game. Those were the days.....
Makes me miss these days when you followed these dudes on the hi-scores to see where they were in terms of their exp. Crazy to think i started playing 9-10 years ago now. Your channel definitely brings on the nostalgia, good work dude!
Hahahahha! XD Sadly, I don't play RS3. Much of that version of the game is now foreign to me. It's not that I hate that version though, I just prefer OSRS because it is simply what I know. :)
Mote Plox hey dude i saw Zezima before he didnt look like a girl so it was the real Zezima and just so you know Zezima was mean at times and i saw him when my combat level was like level 25, 26 or 27
I started played RS a In the spring/summer of 2006 an played devotedly until 2011 or so when I was perm banned. Thanks for making this video and bringing back a lot of old memories. I grew up playing this game and made a lot of friends in the process. I still to this day frequent private servers/twitch streams/RU-vid videos to rekindle those memories. I spent many many hours growing up and playing this game and it will always have a place in my adolescent memory.
BraveMan5555 Definitely man, definitely. I know exactly how you feel. Maybe one day, you will return again. :) Thanks for the support, I'm glad I was able to bring back some nostalgia!
Mote Plox Hey Mote, what do you think of Kingduffy 1 for a list like this? After 138 became max level, he was the first person to 'officially' dethrone Zezima, who would never become #1 again, and held the spot for almost a year before Green098 took it. I remember he became quite the celebrity overnight.
Maan, all of your videos are so nostalgic. It pains me that I will never get the feeling I got playing Runescape with any other game, but at the same time I think that's what makes it so special. Cheers Runescape it's sad to see whats left of it now.
Zezima was cool as well. I remember I met him on a very unpopulated world while he was working on hunter, this was awhile after the skill went live. He'd come back from a break because of troubles with his partner, and actually spent about 3 hours talking to me and a friend of mine. I think his "silence" was definitely a case of people only trying to talk to him about the game, much like when you hear about actors being assholes to fans because they ask the same questions about their work over and over. The rumours of him botting though make sense, because a lot of the time he had the chat turned off, I think it was about 10 minutes of me standing there before he actually turned it on and started having a conversation. It's a bit of a shame that a player gets a reputation for not talking to his fans just because they're asked the same thing over and over. I remember him from my playing days as a cool dude who didn't mind shooting the shit with two kids for a couple of hours late one night, and a week or so later he even remembered his promise to invite me to his 99 hunter party.
mote you have always been one of my favorite youtubers. your videos always calm me down during anxiety. i’ve been watching your videos for 3 years and i love how wholesome you are. i hope you’re recovering well since the tragic passing of your brother. pls come back :)
Damn, missed Zarfot on the list. He revoulutionized the use of mouskeys in rs. First to get 200m prayer and con when those skills where all abt clicking haha aswell as gettin 200m herb with Ovl when torstols were like 70k each haha. Zarfot was Suomis inspiration as well as mine =) maxed out 2011 and stop playing rs and focused on schl
rafiinho Oh wow, I'll have to look him up. :O N0valyfe was my inspiration, so perhaps I was a big biased. ;) Maybe a part 2 is in order! A lot of other people have posted their favorite players as well. :)
Yup I was also very surprised to see Zarfot not in there. Up untill nr 3 I agreed with your list, and I expected him to be nr 2. Yogosun is a very famous player and all respects, but hes not above any1 in tis list and certainly not above Zarfot. Should have been Zarfor nr2, as he brought a revolution to runescape with his skilling methods. Every player who was going for 200m skills ever after, used his methods. Suomi included.
nigga851 He was only able to do the Falador Massacre because of a glitch in the pking system, started when Cursed You kicked everyone out of his house after his 99 Construction party. There is no "Best" about it, he abused a glitch in the game code, and unjustly cost a lot of players millions.
ahh buddy!! love your vids i personally am an oldschool player and later on quit because of the updates, then came back to osrs.. just by watching this video put a smile on my face. thanks for sharing that and keep up the good work!
I remember meeting yogosun back in 2007ish while he was training for 200m theiving and we trained togheter for 3 weeks in pyramid plunder. It became my first 99 skill and after that i decided i would also Max out some day! 3 years later i made that come true. But yogosun was always the one i looted up too. Nice video, it really brought back memories!
Novalyfe was also rank 1 in AOE rise of rome and moved to Runescape when MSN Gaming Zone shut down. Thats why the name Novalyfe "New Life". Jordon Kin Chow was amazing gamer (Archer Wars), also known as SSE_Freeza_L4 in ROR.
i freaked out when you started about the old nite, i remember him from the highscores from when i started in 2005. Im so happy he got a place in your video :D
Finally someone has revealed to me how to properly pronounce zezima! I asked him when I saw him in person one time, but he did not reply. Thank you for putting to rest this question that has bugged me for quite some time. :)
I met zezima back in the day when he was doing double nats/people running ess for him, when he got 99 rc, I recently played with him in the monkey madness mini game, was nice to see him, he actually talked for once :)
Mote Plox Well, he does the seasonal highscores now doesn't he :) I was racing with him on one of the lifepoints healed ones :P I think that's why he was punching monkeys (not a sexual innuendo).
I remember being in school and all my friends would pronounce it wrong and they wouldn't believe me when I said the pronunciation for his name was "zez-i-mah" fucking stupid
I had the pleasure of meeting The Old Nite one time. My friend said he was talking to him, but he was offline and I didn't believe him, so he actually had me meet him and sure enough, there he was. I was so shocked, but he was really cordial and great and he took the time to talk to us for a little while even though we were both idiots and I was much too young to have been an interesting person to talk to. I had wondered why he had fallen off the leaderboards, but I quit playing very shortly after that and didn't know until much later what had happened. It's funny how a little bit of kindness can leave such an impact, and sometimes it's the little things that people remember the most.
Mote Plox Erm if you check alkans video with soumi recently he explains it :D i don't think i got it 100% right but it's along the lines of soumi let him pass basically to let alkan get #3 rank
Wow, i remember knowing about The old Nite. I had no idea that's what happened. I caught myself in deep ponder of those time. I was in middle school during RS1 and HS when i was playing RS2. People like that were kind of a marker in a time in my life, even though I only know _of_ them.
How can anyone be certain that these people aren't/weren't secretly operated by j mods? The likelihood of Zezima being mod mark is slim? How can we know that for sure? Everything that is confidential and everything that transpires behind the scenes is vague and uncertain. No secrets will be revealed in runefest lol. What are the top RS players but mere puppets possibly designed by jagex to fool the general public. No one is capable of gaining and generating that huge amount of xp without becoming worn out or potentially bored with the game, even by using microtransactions. Further discussions will only hold more unrealistic elements to this subject but it's a common subtle theory to think about lol.
Some of these players are just completely lost in the clouded annals of time.. All they hold now are just a handful of images and videos that are frozen in history but this video serves as a nice refreshment lol :)
I once dueled zezima in the arena. He was there just chillin, wearing full guilded and actually accepted my request, I was so hyped lol. Maybe I can find the screenshots I took. But probably not, it was years and years ago... good old days baby
Your channel is great damn I've been missing out good thing I seen your character image on a hodgetwins video:). Keep it up. Hell I've been watching Chris Archie for years and I'm already enjoying these more than his vids.
Hahahaha, thanks man, I really do appreciate it. :) I love the Hodge Twins too! :D Yeah, Chris Archie... I used to enjoy his videos, but for my personal reasons, I just don't think he loves RuneScape the same way he once did. :/ Never the less, thanks again for the support on the channel. :)
The only time I remember him getting flack was when he changed his name to "quitrsforleague" or something like that. Very disrespectful, ik he wanted to announce he "quit" and keep his "i was so pro for so long," however very rude. They forced a name revert - I would have done more but I guess you have to be careful.
This was a pretty cool video, its nice seeing screenshots of the old highscores list for the nostalgia. Saw my old friend Cyrano74 on there ;) Always made me feel like a pro having a friend in high places even if I never had more than 10m on my old account and my only 99s were cooking and fletching. Another one of those polite players who would unexpectedly hold a friend with you.
One time I was training melee at the yaks on Neitiznot by myself, and boom, he logs in right next to me and starts training with me. We held a casual conversation and continued to train for a while until he had to go. Definitely one of the coolest moments during my time of playing RS haha.
Hey bro i just wanted to say that i love your vids youknow these bring back so many good memories that bring me back to amazing times in my childhood Please keep making videos man your content makes me smile as it has a huge amount of information of the game and they are fun to watch Ur my number one youtuber man i love you No homo Smileyface
Since 'The Old Nite' received a Dutch message from another player (at around 0:54), "Ik ga es een paar pouches halen". I'm gonna assume that he's Dutch.
