hey me and 9rain got that talking fish Charborg on the podcast and it just went live, so listen to that if you know what's good for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jWKr17hy6CI.html
Since I dropped it before high school (and don't even remember my account anymore xD) I guess I'm safe...from the game at least because since I got some scammer videos on my youtube recommended, I've just been watchin RS content xD
@@LifeOfJulius ive been playing with breaks since 07 ahah started from 07 to 2010, then I played some months in 2013, stopped and after Played some months in 2014, then stopped again and played 1 month last year and now im playing again since last week OSRS ahaha
@Jojoltaik longest break I took was right before high school and it was something like 5 or 6 years. I'm taking another break rn actually cause I runecrafted my brains into mush. Lol
M20 FUZZLE i wuit in after eoc straight away when i was 11 years old after 3-4 years of playing half of 99s i had and everything went to waste because i got pissed off the update so i put on bot for 30 mins and got banned straight away after first time of using it and i was so releaved and then so sad after releasing what i just done
I was an introvert all through junior school and tbh.. a heck of a lot of my childhood was screwed.. RuneScape was what made at least some part of my childhood great. from falling to doubling money scams to fishing lobsters at Karamja to buying my first ever Black scimitar from the swords shop at alkharid to peaking through the Taverly gate wondering how great the members' worlds are... the list goes on and on.. I don't just love RuneScape, I breathe and adore RuneScape. it's my childhood and I'm forever grateful to the Gower brothers for creating this awesome game.
I started playing Runescape in November of 2003. Played it when I was like 12 years old.. I am now 29. Really do enjoy it doe, can't find myself staying on other games for long because the real enjoyment in Runescape is the sandbox aspect, where you make your own goals and adventures. Truly timeless.
I started playing runescape over 11 years ago I was like 14. I remember sneaking to play up until 3-4am on the big body dell computer in the living room which I felt sounded like a vacuum when I turned it on 😂
same with the dell computer! I even put it outside the house once so I'd stop playing, you can imagine how my parents reacted when they came home. Plugged it right back in :D
My username is Eddie Murphy. As you can clearly see on my RU-vid avatar, it is indeed me. Nah fr, my username is Eddie Murphy tho. Quit in August. Gave away my bank, trying to return, need cash for a bond. If you're feeling generous enough, someone please help an 18 year veteran player out. :(
@@matthewfera2954 hey thanks brother. If I can just get a bond, I'll be set for making some quick money. Pm on runescape sometime and I'll add you, once I get a financial cushion I'll hook you up too!
That's literally every MMORPG though lol. Stormwind in WoW, Lion's Arch in GW2, Limsa Lominsa in FFXIV, Imperial/Republic Fleets in SWTOR, you'll find so many players just standing around in these places because it's just simply what they like to do. Not everybody wants to be active playing the game.
I’ve been trying so hard to quit, even chucked the whole bank at the sand casino, lost rage quit for a few hours. Now I’m back in even worse shape then before lol
I logged into OSRS for the first time in 13 years last week. 3 hours of my life chopping wood slipped by in what felt like 30 seconds. I immediately uninstalled... this game is far too powerful.
I 'quit' RS around EOC. Just started playing OSRS again last week and oh boy OH BOY. Playing as a 30 year old is quite different. I understand the mechanics of the game more than I ever did before. My goal on my new account is to complete every quest. Been having a blast.
Randomly found this video after i started playing runescape again and i'm glad i did. Thought it was a great video and think your a funny dude. You get a sub from me :D Also your right about never actually quitting. I played when i was in middle school and now i came back at 28 and i'm playing an ironman account and i'm loving it. Every level i gain feels rewarding because i have to earn everything myself and it's a really nice experience.
I got back into RuneScape when old school released on mobile, had quit at EOC and didn't hear about the new 2007 version till then. Since I started again this account is me living out all the dreams I had for an account as a disorganized adhd kid. it's easy to hop on and off, quests are fun now, and I'm all decked out and have a chill clan to play with. This game is something I always come back too, and few things are more relaxing than settling down for a few hours in RS on the weekend, just like when I was a kid. I will always have a place in my heart for RuneScape, and I've never grown tired of the good ol point and click game. I've played other games, I've left for long periods... but my account always has goals to shoot for, and my progress is always waiting for me to add to it. RuneScape has a unique charm and an engaging player base. in my opinion old school is still the gold standard for an MMO. it ain't flashy, but it's a story and adventure that never ends... and isn't that exactly an MMO should be?😊 also I totally agree with you on the "xp waste" crew. that is toxic AF for a game you play for fun, I'll figure out efficient methods to train on grinds, but who needs a plan for all that crap? it's an easy way to make a fun experience boring and horrible
Literally this entire video is yes. Quit playing when I was a Jr in Highschool. And just recently started playing this year. And I’m fully addicted. 8 years ago. 🤦🏽♂️
WOW.I stumbled onto this and it's taking me waaay back. I played from the very beginning and dropped out around 2004 or something. I'm amazed it's still going strong. That's awesome. I wonder if my old accounts are still there . . .
my brother and i have both played runescape on and off for ages and giving ourselves restrictions really renewed our enjoyment of the game. i was the first to try out an iron man account - i was a bit intimidated by the idea of not being able to rely on the grand exchange, but i think it helped immensely because i had always lacked confidence in my ability to make money to buy things off the GE and would kind of rely on my brother to just give me gp to pay for things when we were younger lol. but playing with an iron man inherently meant i had to become self reliant, and i found it really easy and rewarding to get what i needed because i didn’t have to think in terms of making money to bulk buy things on the GE, i was just out there accumulating stuff while leveling a stat that i would then use in leveling other stats, and grabbing specific items for quests felt like a scavenger hunt which made quests seem more full (sometimes tedious, but definitely not as much as i expected) and could allow me to gain additional experience in different skills along the way. everything i did felt like a valuable contribution instead of it feeling meager or a waste compared to the kind of xp i could get if i just bought things off the GE on my non-iron man. my brother ended up trying it out and it made it enjoy what the game had to offer so much more because he was forced to engage with so many parts of the game and areas of the world he never would have otherwise, and the amount of variation in that new gameplay style kept things feeling fresh. it really helped us to have fun with the journey rather than burning ourselves out on the most efficient path to the destination.
I find it funny that “one never quits RuneScape” because I just came back after a 1 year hiatus that happened after i came back from an 8 year break...
Same I took a 10 year break. Quit in 2007 came back on 2017. Quit in early 2019 and i came back April 2020 when the lockdowns started and been playing everyday lmao.
Andrei Stiru holy fuck..... this actually makes sense....... to me... and it’s true! There’s runes and fucking capes!! I just thought it was a made-up name lol
Runescape is a lot like DnD in that way. The combat, the stats... they matter to some people, but that's not what keeps a game alive this long. It's about the stories that you and your friends create together.
It’s been 10 years since I’ve logged on and I can still type my user and pass with my eyes closed wtf. I know exactly what combat level I am 95 and Although I haven’t returned I’ve logged on a couple of times. Just to explore to see what changed for 15 minutes and I get off
I'm watching this praying that it'll convince me to finally come back. Rarely a day passes where I don't think about it, but I haven't regularly played since 2016. Miss this shit so much.
I never played Runescape but I experienced the SAME EXACT thing with another game, Realm of the Mad God. Rotmg is also an mmorpg and it's super simple yet super addictive, it's impossible to quit, I had "breaks" of up to 3 years and always came back.
So you're telling me you want me to make OSRS videos *EVEN THOUGH* I will only be using F2P, spend the first few hours killing only goblins and cows, and my goal is to beat Obor while wearing full trimmed Rune armor because I never had membership as a kid and know NOTHING about it?
For me it's how cozy grinding can be sometimes. You click the tree and wait for it to break to click the next one. You play a bunch of youtube videos and have a cold drink while doing it. It's something no other game lets you do.
Runescape kept me alive through some tough times. I've tried to quit many times, but I always find myself coming back in one way or another. I might as well try and enjoy it. - A guy slowly poking or ranging monsters to death in hopes of a dragon spear drop without completing Legends' Quest because they hate questing.
I just started playing Runescape a few days ago, and I was like "Meh, I guess I should comeback and finish the fucking tutorial", BIG MISTAKE, I went from playing roblox to playing Runescape on the double.
I was 10 years old, had full mithril armour with a 20k cash stack in my bank that had no pin. A guy came up to me and asked if I wanted him to make me member.. Yeh, that's how my trust issues began. Hatched from my own stupidity.
I came back to runescape after 10 years and my bank was cleared but the hacker put my void gear an other untradeable stuff in order in my bank aswell as 69 iron ores
I made my first account in 2001. Have taken several year plus long breaks, and have always come back. I haven’t played in about three years this time. Not having a desktop is probably the only reason.
Made my first account in mid 2005; I now only have four skills at 99 because of how many breaks I've taken. Don't stress it at all! Some people take the game a little TOO seriously.
Runescape genuinely does change your dreams. I had a dream that I was made a pmod and then also got fired from being a pmod, and I woke up despairing over not being one despite nothing having changed.
I am gonna play runescape for the first time now. I actually played it like 10 years ago with my brother and he let me chop wood and thats it. So I literally know nothing about this game.
I still play it because I found a relevant way to keep it around. theres a lot of times where I find myself "bored of games" that I own. it goes away eventually, but when that happens I just get on runescape. I just get on and start skilling. makes time fly and its a good filler while I figure out what I wanna do. thank god for this game
man it feels really good for someone to finally say all that after i go into clan chats lookin for advice on gains and "no xp waste, max effiency and git gud"
My current goal is to unlock all quick travel and teleportations in game, so I need 99 farming, agility, construction, crafting and so on. I also want a MINIMUM 250m dungeon. I'm pretty close to a quest cape, too.
Started playing in 2004. Played until around 2010. Quit gaming during college. Restarted OSRS in about 2016 and now have 250ish days played and level 126 combat with almost 2200 total
"Try a By Release account if you want to" well, I actually did, and I can say that it's weirdly enjoyable. I'm currently grinding reqs for MM2, and it was so wild dealing with restrictions and gradually seeing content added
Bro I was in high school 9th grade when I found out about runescape I would skip school go to the library play and grind from 04 to 08 after 10 years coming back on Mobile I feel like a high school kid again runscape always #1 in my heart
Sam is such a goddamn menace lol. Doesn't just leave it at " I've never played your favorite game." He has belittle and jab, All while having a shit eating grin. Love it lol
Quit when I graduated high school in Nov of 2007 when the GE came out. Came back to it in March of this year only because of my depression. Hit an all time low in my life and Runescape 2 (osrs) was one of the few games I played to help cope with it. Also osrs gold is very cheap to get now and when you making 60k a year, you can get as much as you want without spending 8 hours playing the game as I did in my youth back in the day.
Because they forgot that they had a f2p account and they forgot the game existed in general for years. Then they remembered and saw that they loved it. At least, thats what happened to me. I only remembered runescape existed because runescape mobile was announced.
I mean I played and never forgot about it. I just took a break after free trade and wildy was removed. Entered my collage course got bored in a lecture and decided to play it again
I remember back in 2004 or 2005 me and my buds would collect limpwurt roots and brew some str potions, then head down to karamja to fish a full invent of swordies or lobs before going to kill lesser demons to try and get lvl 100 combat, i had full sara at that time which i traded for a santa, and because f2p players only had access to leather boots i was always hoping to get a mime random event for mime boots just because they were black
Could never get into Runescape even in 2001 it looked like ass which put me off, now for someone who doesn't play today it's seems bizarre people playing this stiff old game with incredibly basic graphics, click and wait based combat and a literal endless grind. Salute to you absolute madlads.
I just started this video but I quit back in 2012 after graduating high school 3 years passed and I log back into Ed for the first time overwhelmed by all the changes I never thought I could get back into it 5 years later and I’m stuck on this game idk how I feel about it I use to be addicted all the way up to high school and I feel like I can no life this game again idk if that’s good or bad
I really do dream of RS grinds... "..this giant black hole we've been sucked into and can never escape" ~ Hahaha, perfect way to explain Swampletics. Although, I can't explain why I'm still training runecrafting..
I'm university student that started playing this masterpiece for the first time was 2 months ago. And the only 1 and ONLY 1 reason why i started was Ironman. God, i love ironman, don't understand how people can play the regular game without any restriction
SETTLED FOR RUNESCAPE PRESIDENT!! he actually really did inspire me with his swampletics series to come to rs xD i was grinding out comp cape in rs3 when i watched swampletics and yeah i goot 110% hooked up, quitted rs3 and started my first and only ironman in osrs :D
The dreams.... TOTAL NIGHTMARE, Waking up and thinking you got 10xamout of your bank and when you logg in you get emotional abused by the look of that bank value...
Efficiency makes game less fun unfortunately. I remember when xp wasting was the thing to do if it meant having fun at castle wars, etc. I achieved my goal of 99 slayer untrimmed and literally didn't know what to do. Came back 5-6 months later and I'm having a blast but was not sure where to start.
