Bro this is so wholesome and the whole fact that he was so happy when his friend gave him 100k because he thought that was a lot was adorable in the best way. Never seen this channel before, but great video :)
I ran a marriage scam when I was in the 6th grade. I made a girl account (I’m a male) and my friend became a priest so that he could marry people. I would make friends with guys and then marry them, which always resulted in big weddings where I’d receive all kids of stuff. Dragon weapons, Dragon armor, gold, rare weapons, etc. I ended up marrying like 10 dudes. Good times.
Without a doubt, one of the few, rare channels on the platform surrounding video gaming that is fueled by the pure, insatiable love of the medium. Jack makes it feel like him and I are best bros, just chatting about one of our favorite things, video games!! Appreciate the sincere passion you exert for games in your videos brother, really comes off in a great way. Keep up the fantastic work ❤️❤️
One of the only newer video game guys who feels like he’s not copying other creators too. He’s not doing a nakey Jakey impression or anything, he does his own thing
Tfw i'm old enough to have played this during middle school and i'm 37 next month, pretty huge part of my early days in games, had game boy and all that sure but RS|Ultima|EQ were my first mmos.
As a kid it took me 4 years to get Rune armour on what is now my rs3 account. I started an osrs account a month or two ago and am currently on track to getting my abyssal whip in two days or less.
SAME I JUST GOT AN ABBY WHIP ON MY OWN A FEW DAYS AGO LMAO I wish I could bring my RS3 account over to OSRS though. I've already almost caught up with my old main on my new account though. I remember my first abby whip, I went to a trade world to buy it with my 1 mil, and some dude was like "Ay pass me your money I'll get it for you rq." I was like "ok". Dude literally spammed for 10 minutes, got me the whip, traded it to me, and we parted ways. I wish I would have kept in contact with that guy, I hope he's doing well.
This is so nostalgic, the music, the gameplay. As a kid not understanding English at all as it was a second language questing was impossible. Even so the memories from just finding out stuff by going around and exploring was very fun. It is something that I think will never happen again, I am happy I got to experience that. Great video!
@@DamaNovusI found him too once, we knew what server he was on, and me and a friend basically hunted him until we found him, and he literally had 200 people following him
If you ever choose to go back to osrs, make sure to take extra advantage of the osrs wiki. The wiki is so good that the developers put a dedicated button in game to open the wiki page to any interactable object in the game.
same with RS3, you click wiki in the chat box and type literally anything about the game and it just opens that wiki page, one of the best features in a game ive ever seen
The full Mythril armor set with the rainbow shoes is how I logged off all those years ago. I don't know if the quests to get the armor existed back then, I just remember the grind to make it all myself. This has brought back so many fond childhood memories. Mining, fishing, the Wilderness, the manor, etc. When you entered the white mine it was like a core memory unlocked. Great video!
Nah the new guide that gives you free stuff is only a few years old at this point. I remember having my mind blown by a nice guy making me a full set of iron armor for me back then.
@@Greenleaf_ People were always so nice because you had so much of everything. I remember I mined iron and coal for weeks on end to get my mining, smelting, and smithing levels up. I'd sell most of the excess to the blacksmith, but I used to run to the bank and give sets of armor out for free because why not? I had literal tons of that stuff.
I remember wanting to get the Runescape Tips and Tricks book from the book fair for years. I remember printing out quest guides. I remember begging my parents to get a 4-pack of Rockstar energy drinks so I could stay up all night with friends. I remember wanting Visa giftcards so I could get member. Man, what good times. Take me back!
I definitely agree that receiving gifts is part of the new player experience, people are generally super wholesome and helpful towards new players. 100k was the perfect amount of GP as well, just enough money to get started without it being an overwhelming handout.
tbf at his level, 100k is still a huge amount for what he is likely going to be doing. Only a longtime player would see that 100k and be able to see that as allowance for teleports
@@dingo_duck nah, you shouldn't grind out every little thing completely by yourself if you don't play an ironman account. Late game is where this game begins to thrive. Get there ASAP :D

I'm 56, came back a year ago (this is all my kid's fault for telling me there was a mobile version). I originally started in 2004-ish (so I could screen it and make sure it was okay for my 7 year-old), got addicted, stopped when it turned into RS3. I wonder how many other gen x folks still play or are playing again...
Runelite has options to increase the render distance like 30x the default. In the settings tab at the top right search for "GPU" if you want the classic look, gear icon that and the top should be draw distance and extended map loading options. For the "HD" look instead of the GPU plugin you head to "117 HD" and the same options can be found in that plugin too!
Oldschool has so much to offer, so many new mechanics and bosses to fight. Take time and really play it, i think you will enjoy it. Would love to see a follow up video.
YOOO, computer wardrobes were the coolest thing ever. And yet simultaneously the most awful thing for posture and comfort. I miss those things, and I hope they never return. Awesome outfit by the way!
The best thing about RuneScape is it isn’t an MMO. It defies classification. It’s a solo multiplayer cookie clicker with multiplayer endgame, and it’s glorious.
I have an inferno max cape & trimmed achievement diary cape, 5b bank, and almost 7,000 hours played in OSRS. The game is incredibly vast, and there's no wrong way to play the game because it's account-based. Completing the game's quests (which are some of the best-written quests in any game ever made) unlocks more items, more quests, new skilling methods, and even entire regions of the game. Oldschool Runescape is a mile wide and as deep as an ocean. That being said, the game will consume you. Also, to elaborate on the expensive items: The blue partyhat in Runescape 3 is worth over $2,500 in real-world dollars. In Oldschool Runescape, there are items that are worth more than the maximum stack of gp allowed in game (2,147,483,647 - limited by Java's maximum integer value) The Third-Age Pickaxe is currently worth twelve _billion_ gp, traded between players using platinum (1 plat = 1k gp) instead of gp.
Oh god this takes me back. Coming home from school and going into the family computer room. Booting up Runescape in one tab, a Breaking Benjamin playlist on youtube in another tab and just trying to trigger that Bootcamp random event to get those sweet camo pants and shirt. Simpler times.
New to the channel, I love this video. Played as a lad, and returned as an adult, and its been my favorite game for years. If you wanted to continue here are some ideas for another similar video: Monkey Madness, Desert Treasure (iconic members quests), go for lvl goal for all skills like 10-20 so you can try them all out, there are several unique skilling bosses that I think a new player would enjoy while also seeing how interactive the game can be. Good luck plasmorp, hope to see you on soon.
Hearing you explain your experience with OSRS in present day vs. your childhood makes me realize we all had the same childhood and share a lot of the same nostalgia. I've recently started play OSRS again and plan on maxing out freeplay stats/quests/etc and FINALLYYYYYY getting membership for the first time (my inner 10 year old is jumping for joy).
The gameplay itself isn't for everyone and neither is the time commitment of the grind, but it's a legitimately rewarding experience and we have a cool community. Hope you enjoy it when you try it out! (Try old school)
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xdThe new school game has a lot less players, is loaded to the brim with microtransactions, and is far, FAR from the experience we had back in the day. That all being said, it's still a solid game if you can tolerate that stuff. The quests in particular are absolutely incredible, much like OSRS's.
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd its subjective, but i prefer old school because of things such as the polling system, lack of mtx, refusal to update the art style, and the larger community. we also get seasonal game modes that are very fun to participate in. rs3 isnt a bad game, but old school/runescape 2 is what pops in my head when the word runescape is mentioned. you come for the nostalgia and stay for the great game design.
jack, as someone who also not so long ago played a couple of my childhood games i think it's really fun that you actually filmed your self doing that, and analyzied that game. keep up the good work jack you are amazing
Go look up alien food osrs. He's going for a quest cape and plays without any guidance, aka no Quest helper, no wiki etc, no asking people etc. Has to figure it all out on his own. Its both hilarious, frustrating when you know the answer or epic and mind-blowing when he figures stuff out.
I never actually watched a youtuber where I saw like half the video and said " im subscribing this dude", you are genuinely hilarious man, thank you for bringing me back to my childhood, runescape was such a great game, I will never forget logging in and just seeing so many people everywhere and making friends, this game was one of the best I ever played.
I like how you called it Ruinscape and when you talked about using spells you called them Ruins... Is there a deeper meaning in there somewhere? Perhaps...
I miss this myself, I remember coming back to OSRS around 2016-2017ish after about a decade long hiatus. It was such a rush of nostalgia that can't be replicated. Achieving the things my dumbass couldn't as a kid/teen, and actually getting my account geared towards mid to late game that I always dreamed of was such a great feeling. Now I take multiple breaks, just because I feel burnt out by the game more often than not.
As somebody who consistantly has played RS since 2003, this video really brought a smile to my face. It makes me very happy to see people experience this beautiful game
0:06 Habbo hotel, runescape and some weird MMO with chibi anime art style? that one is a locked away memory, cant even remember what it was called, just that I had no clue what I was doing in that game.
I'm sorry child Jack, but stealing your friends Runescape account and then never fessing up when they let you play it out of the kindness of their heart and then didn't say anything when they definitely knew it was you. I'm sorry but that's one of the most evil things I've ever heard. Like on a kicking puppies level of pure evil
I remember spending weeks under Varrock in the sewers killing moss giants and talking to random people. Made some great friends and eventually played castlewars together in members.
It's awesome that anyone that comes back for a nostalgia hit has that moment of "wait...this still rules". OSRS kept all the same vibes and made it even better. Hands down the best long term progression MMO I've ever played.
Coming from a player since 2006: this might be my favorite Runescape video I've ever seen. It 100% shows why I fell in love with the game almost 20 years ago and still continue to play. One of the best representations I've ever seen.
Funfact: The Blue Partyhat is worth 70B in the original Runescape today, you can currently get 100m in game by spending $10 on Bonds. Do the math if ur curious
$26 today is equivalent to 1b in-game if you buy it in partypeteshop, rpgstash, or eldorado. That's the best way of buying gold right now, they can't actually ban since Mods won't know. Been buying since 2015 worth 25b gold all in all and haven't been banned ever since.
I hop into Old School RuneScape from time to time, just did the Easter event and there’s an entirely new city that was added. Was stunned to see 150,000 people were playing OSRS at the same time! Old School RuneScape saved Jagex for sure, because they ruined the “main” game beyond repair Also you’re right, the fact that there are two launchers you need to have running in order to play the game is a joke - but with RuneLite you know you can increase the draw distance (how far you can see) in settings?
BRO that last TWO TIMES I revisited this classic to reconnect with my childhood, BOTH times a kind stranger at lumbridge gave me a TON of money, and BOTH times they said they just like helping out and wanted to give new players a headstart. The OSRS community is full to bursting with philanthropists that want to help others fall in love with this beautiful game. Maybe one day I'll treat myself to a membership but I only just defeated Elvarg last year, fulfilling my childhood goals. One step at a time
I'm pretty sure he took a very convoluted way of doing it. I made an account about 3 months or so ago, and it took me at most 2 minutes and a whole lot less buttons to click. And the last account I created was like 20 years before that.
Man, the beginning of this video brought back so many memories if when I was in 4th grade playing Runescape. Played it until about like 2008-2009 then joined WoW for like 12 years. Now getting back into OSRS.
Good job on the agility explanation btw, lots of people think it makes your run energy go down slower but it just makes your run energy recharge faster as well as the shortcuts. but weight reduction will help your run energy deplete slower.
"Ruinscape" Lol Anyway, awesome video. You and I were literally the same as kids. Every single thing you said lol. It's crazy playing it now, having 99s, over 1b, etc. I could never have even fathomed any of that as a kid.
love this video man. yt reccomendations are really funny, I also just started playing again also a month ago and its been wild. Having Runelite is just gamechanging. There are so many bosses now and area's that I dont even remember from so long ago. Love the journey so far, now that I'm like 90% done with the quests I'm just training my skills to be able to do the rest. Would love it if you posted some updates on runescape.
This video is an amazing watch and I hope you keep playing. It’s literally how I feel when picking up RuneScape again! I hope you keep playing and make more videos
Most authentic runescape experience for me. I was new but had been playing for about 2 years, still felt I knew nothing. Training Slayer in the ice wyvern dungeon against Ice Giants. A random dude comes up to me, asks if I'm slaying. Obviously I say yes, he says I need to work on getting myself some barrows gauntlets. ZERO clue what they were, he explained what they were, then proceeded to hand me 1,000 nature runes. Which was worth A LOT to me! From then on, I've helped anyone I can with my wealth and knowledge. Everybody was a noob once
This is crazy how much I can relate 9 days back in OSRS. Literally same exact experience, everything happened to you also happened to me 27:56 , 28:56, etc
This video was such a treat to watch! As someone who returned back to OSRS around 2016-2017ish after a decade long hiatus, I shared a lot of your personal experience. The rush of nostalgia and wonder, achieving the things my kid/teen self would've killed for. I agree with you on the quest helper lmao, I prefer to use the wiki to check what items I need during the quest and after that, just immerse myself into it, no guides, no handholding, just slowly going through it, reading all the dialogue, reading lore books and figuring it out on my own. Feels a lot more rewarding, and makes me feel more connected with the world. If you ever decide to return to OSRS, I'll be the first one to binge it all up! There's nothing quite like unlocking something coveted that you put the time and work into achieve, especially as a new player. Liked, subbed and all that jazz!
Oh man yelling help in the streets of varrock and asking questions brought back so many memories lmao. That's how I ended up meeting most of my friends back in my good ol' noob days.
This video was awesome dude. I started playing again back in 2020. I’m currently 2265/2277 total level inching my way to max cape. Have a 4 bill bank and excited to keep playing after maxing. RuneScape hooked me when I was in second grade and I stopped playing around 2011 or so. What an amazing game and I hope you get perpetually hooked again! End game is awesome

I have an inferno max cape & trimmed achievement diary cape, 5b bank, and almost 7,000 hours played in OSRS. The game is incredibly vast, and there's no wrong way to play the game because it's account-based. Completing the game's quests (which are some of the best-written quests in any game ever made) unlocks more items, more quests, new skilling methods, and even entire regions of the game. Oldschool Runescape is a mile wide and as deep as an ocean. That being said, the game will consume you.
Also, to elaborate on the expensive items: The blue partyhat in Runescape 3 is worth over $2,500 in real-world dollars. In Oldschool Runescape, there are items that are worth more than the maximum stack of gp allowed in game (2,147,483,647 - limited by Java's maximum integer value) The Third-Age Pickaxe is currently worth twelve _billion_ gp, traded between players using platinum (1 plat = 1k gp) instead of gp.

Can u give me tumeken or tbow
Touch some grass bro
Who asked + Go outside + Clean your room
@@Dhemize you have a maxed account. How hilarious to tell someone else to go outside 😭
i miss robot rage :( it died quick and had a lot of connection issues but was still so good
RS3 still has Party hats for loads of cash. OldSchool gives them out every year so they are in supply and in RS3 they were given out once or twice
that blue partyhat that you remember, still exist in their full cost state brought over from the 01 days towards runescape 3.
Yep, but essentially worthless because nobody plays that game anymore.
They’re worth 30-40b in rs3 last I checked.
@@peytonhorn2833 blue phat is 85.7b according to rs3 ge page since they increased the max cash limit on that version.
Oh god this takes me back. Coming home from school and going into the family computer room. Booting up Runescape in one tab, a Breaking Benjamin playlist on youtube in another tab and just trying to trigger that Bootcamp random event to get those sweet camo pants and shirt.
Simpler times.
I buried bones so much for the zomie gear!
New to the channel, I love this video. Played as a lad, and returned as an adult, and its been my favorite game for years. If you wanted to continue here are some ideas for another similar video: Monkey Madness, Desert Treasure (iconic members quests), go for lvl goal for all skills like 10-20 so you can try them all out, there are several unique skilling bosses that I think a new player would enjoy while also seeing how interactive the game can be. Good luck plasmorp, hope to see you on soon.
Hearing you explain your experience with OSRS in present day vs. your childhood makes me realize we all had the same childhood and share a lot of the same nostalgia. I've recently started play OSRS again and plan on maxing out freeplay stats/quests/etc and FINALLYYYYYY getting membership for the first time (my inner 10 year old is jumping for joy).
I just came back after 15 years and man still makes me as happy as when I was a kid
I was a Pirates of the Caribbean Online kid. I wish I could do this with that game man!!
I played a fan maintained version of that like 4 years ago, might still be around
there's legend of the pirates online (tlopo) though idk how popular it is
Never played either editions of RuneScape butI'm definitely going to check it out, thanks. As always great video
The gameplay itself isn't for everyone and neither is the time commitment of the grind, but it's a legitimately rewarding experience and we have a cool community. Hope you enjoy it when you try it out! (Try old school)
@@Saiyamanmcdon’t feel overwhelmed at first glance, look up a few guides and everything you do will feel rewarding. Enjoy the journey man gl
@@Saiyamanmcwhy is old school better?
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xdThe new school game has a lot less players, is loaded to the brim with microtransactions, and is far, FAR from the experience we had back in the day. That all being said, it's still a solid game if you can tolerate that stuff. The quests in particular are absolutely incredible, much like OSRS's.
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd its subjective, but i prefer old school because of things such as the polling system, lack of mtx, refusal to update the art style, and the larger community. we also get seasonal game modes that are very fun to participate in. rs3 isnt a bad game, but old school/runescape 2 is what pops in my head when the word runescape is mentioned. you come for the nostalgia and stay for the great game design.
jack, as someone who also not so long ago played a couple of my childhood games i think it's really fun that you actually filmed your self doing that, and analyzied that game.
keep up the good work jack you are amazing
I wish I could play like this again, the sense of wonder was unrivalled especially as a kid.
Go look up alien food osrs.
He's going for a quest cape and plays without any guidance, aka no Quest helper, no wiki etc, no asking people etc.
Has to figure it all out on his own.
Its both hilarious, frustrating when you know the answer or epic and mind-blowing when he figures stuff out.
Check out "Outer Wilds". It has the same spark but it's not an MMORPG
I never actually watched a youtuber where I saw like half the video and said " im subscribing this dude", you are genuinely hilarious man, thank you for bringing me back to my childhood, runescape was such a great game, I will never forget logging in and just seeing so many people everywhere and making friends, this game was one of the best I ever played.
alright that 26 step login process you listed was like 60% you being dumb and 40% jagex being dumb but besides that great video!
Runescape (and MMOs in general) do nothing for me, but I always like hearing passionate fans talk about their old/new experiences with it
Hahah then I extra appreciate you watchin ❤
Out of curiosity what kind of games are you into?
Bro just admitted to Scamming his friend for 8 days access to members servers
we all did this shit man LOL
@@cognitivedisability9864 I never did anything like that!
I like how you called it Ruinscape and when you talked about using spells you called them Ruins... Is there a deeper meaning in there somewhere? Perhaps...
I related to your younger self so much 😂 I played the same way, never did a quest or anything but I had a blast
JACKS UPLOADED!!!!!!
AT LAST!!!!!
the best
as a oldschool player i genuinely wish i could experience it like this
I miss this myself, I remember coming back to OSRS around 2016-2017ish after about a decade long hiatus. It was such a rush of nostalgia that can't be replicated.
Achieving the things my dumbass couldn't as a kid/teen, and actually getting my account geared towards mid to late game that I always dreamed of was such a great feeling.
Now I take multiple breaks, just because I feel burnt out by the game more often than not.
Yo Jack keep up the good work and I can’t wait to play your game
As somebody who consistantly has played RS since 2003, this video really brought a smile to my face. It makes me very happy to see people experience this beautiful game
As someone who has played actively since 2005, until 2011, and then started osrs in 2017, this was a great video man. loved it.
This man admitted to the most vial war crime imaginable. I hope Austin finds you and takes his revenge.
Ya seriously. I don't feel enough remorse for that.
0:06 Habbo hotel, runescape and some weird MMO with chibi anime art style? that one is a locked away memory, cant even remember what it was called, just that I had no clue what I was doing in that game.
Maple Story maybe?
Not AdventureQuest?
I'm sorry child Jack, but stealing your friends Runescape account and then never fessing up when they let you play it out of the kindness of their heart and then didn't say anything when they definitely knew it was you. I'm sorry but that's one of the most evil things I've ever heard. Like on a kicking puppies level of pure evil
Had quite the moral compass
I remember spending weeks under Varrock in the sewers killing moss giants and talking to random people. Made some great friends and eventually played castlewars together in members.
It's awesome that anyone that comes back for a nostalgia hit has that moment of "wait...this still rules". OSRS kept all the same vibes and made it even better. Hands down the best long term progression MMO I've ever played.
In 30 and this makes me smile. Similar memories 🎉
19:50 calling the abyssal whip the dragon whip is great lmao
Wow, my favorite UA-camr making a video about my all time favorite game. What a treat!!
Coming from a player since 2006: this might be my favorite Runescape video I've ever seen. It 100% shows why I fell in love with the game almost 20 years ago and still continue to play. One of the best representations I've ever seen.
I cried watching this video 😢
damn, props to that bennoz guy. He really hooked you up with some upgrades that not a lot of new players know to look for.
Can you tell me what they are? I didn't recognize the ring and didn't have time to stare at the rest of em.
@@AChunkyDog The boots, the warrior ring and the combat bracelet. All solid but unintuitive early game boosts to your attack.
Funfact: The Blue Partyhat is worth 70B in the original Runescape today, you can currently get 100m in game by spending $10 on Bonds. Do the math if ur curious
1 bond is 10.6m and I think still $11 so it's closer to $100 for $100m
@@principalmcvicker6530 he's talking about usd to rs3 gp, not usd to osrs gp. bonds in rs3 are 100m per.
@@principalmcvicker6530 bond is 10m in osrs and 100m in rs3
$26 today is equivalent to 1b in-game if you buy it in partypeteshop, rpgstash, or eldorado. That's the best way of buying gold right now, they can't actually ban since Mods won't know. Been buying since 2015 worth 25b gold all in all and haven't been banned ever since.
what do you mean by "the original"?
and the math is:
100x=70000
x=700
x * 10 dollars = 7000 dollars
that's a lotta money
I hop into Old School RuneScape from time to time, just did the Easter event and there’s an entirely new city that was added. Was stunned to see 150,000 people were playing OSRS at the same time! Old School RuneScape saved Jagex for sure, because they ruined the “main” game beyond repair
Also you’re right, the fact that there are two launchers you need to have running in order to play the game is a joke - but with RuneLite you know you can increase the draw distance (how far you can see) in settings?
This video was awesome! Thank you so much for giving the game a shot, and I hope that you stick around and keep playing!
BRO that last TWO TIMES I revisited this classic to reconnect with my childhood, BOTH times a kind stranger at lumbridge gave me a TON of money, and BOTH times they said they just like helping out and wanted to give new players a headstart. The OSRS community is full to bursting with philanthropists that want to help others fall in love with this beautiful game. Maybe one day I'll treat myself to a membership but I only just defeated Elvarg last year, fulfilling my childhood goals. One step at a time
the barrier to entry for new players to just create a character is insane.
I'm pretty sure he took a very convoluted way of doing it. I made an account about 3 months or so ago, and it took me at most 2 minutes and a whole lot less buttons to click.
And the last account I created was like 20 years before that.
@@Siks7Ate9yeah it literally takes 2 two minutes.
As a hardcore OSRS player this video is fucking amazing😂 you’re one of my fav gaming UA-camrs and watching you experience my fav game is so great
Man, the beginning of this video brought back so many memories if when I was in 4th grade playing Runescape. Played it until about like 2008-2009 then joined WoW for like 12 years. Now getting back into OSRS.
Good job on the agility explanation btw, lots of people think it makes your run energy go down slower but it just makes your run energy recharge faster as well as the shortcuts. but weight reduction will help your run energy deplete slower.
FUCK YEAH!!!
Toontown is basically Runescape but Disney. You should try it and then make a video taking back what you said after your new addiction lol
Man reliving someone else's nostalgia trip is almost as good as reliving your own. Super satisfying video.
"Ruinscape"
Lol
Anyway, awesome video. You and I were literally the same as kids. Every single thing you said lol. It's crazy playing it now, having 99s, over 1b, etc. I could never have even fathomed any of that as a kid.
Robert gower creator is creating a new game called brighter shores. Hooefull can get that oldschool rs feeling again with that game
"Like watching Alt Shift X's real Dune for the third time"... he just like me frfr
RS3 Partyhats (the original hats and the purple dupes) are worth billions. great video, no one ever truly leaves the game.
This was a fucking awesome video and throw back. Thank you man; I'm glad you met a few of the good community members.
Runescape takes so much time to get through, and I'm freak'n HERE FOR IT.
Appreciating the usage of the Soil sound clip in the beginning, total nostalgia for 07 days 😊
HOLY, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D FIND ROBOT RAGE AGAIN, thank you dude, been looking for this game for almost 10 years passively
love this video man. yt reccomendations are really funny, I also just started playing again also a month ago and its been wild. Having Runelite is just gamechanging. There are so many bosses now and area's that I dont even remember from so long ago. Love the journey so far, now that I'm like 90% done with the quests I'm just training my skills to be able to do the rest. Would love it if you posted some updates on runescape.
This video is an amazing watch and I hope you keep playing. It’s literally how I feel when picking up RuneScape again! I hope you keep playing and make more videos
Most authentic runescape experience for me.
I was new but had been playing for about 2 years, still felt I knew nothing.
Training Slayer in the ice wyvern dungeon against Ice Giants.
A random dude comes up to me, asks if I'm slaying.
Obviously I say yes, he says I need to work on getting myself some barrows gauntlets.
ZERO clue what they were, he explained what they were, then proceeded to hand me 1,000 nature runes. Which was worth A LOT to me!
From then on, I've helped anyone I can with my wealth and knowledge. Everybody was a noob once
Quest Helper is a great tool. I like it.
This was fun watching you go back and play :)
this game was my childhood back in 2004, i still play to this game now and have met some amazing friends
Currently taking a break. Thinking about runescape a lot and stumbled upon your video. Now I HAVE to go back
This is crazy how much I can relate 9 days back in OSRS. Literally same exact experience, everything happened to you also happened to me 27:56 , 28:56, etc
35:47 you're on your way to learning the ways of obtaining your very own Fire cape and other infamous items such as the Infernal Cape
They need to bring back Robot Rage
This video was such a treat to watch! As someone who returned back to OSRS around 2016-2017ish after a decade long hiatus, I shared a lot of your personal experience. The rush of nostalgia and wonder, achieving the things my kid/teen self would've killed for.
I agree with you on the quest helper lmao, I prefer to use the wiki to check what items I need during the quest and after that, just immerse myself into it, no guides, no handholding, just slowly going through it, reading all the dialogue, reading lore books and figuring it out on my own. Feels a lot more rewarding, and makes me feel more connected with the world.
If you ever decide to return to OSRS, I'll be the first one to binge it all up! There's nothing quite like unlocking something coveted that you put the time and work into achieve, especially as a new player.
Liked, subbed and all that jazz!
Oh man yelling help in the streets of varrock and asking questions brought back so many memories lmao. That's how I ended up meeting most of my friends back in my good ol' noob days.
What a way to celebrate an incredible game. Thank you for putting in the work to organize this video
This video was awesome dude. I started playing again back in 2020. I’m currently 2265/2277 total level inching my way to max cape. Have a 4 bill bank and excited to keep playing after maxing. RuneScape hooked me when I was in second grade and I stopped playing around 2011 or so. What an amazing game and I hope you get perpetually hooked again! End game is awesome
Dude the login process and the whole jagex launcher dumpster bin is a JOKE.
