Funny thing is I still remember the detail of my old account from 07, logged in for the first time since then (well I logged in once in 2012) and it was wearing the grim reaper hood and the spiderweb cape...
Haha I love at about 0:45 secs in the guy wearing full holiday gear. Nice touch indeed! I still remember the first time I caught an "alas!" head. Good times indeed.
James Parker I remember when sparc mac saw those overrides on legacy pk stream :D he was like: guys did you see that, that person is flying! What armour is that? and so on :D omg it was funny
I started playing RS3 a few weeks ago (I usually only play 07 because of how familiar I am with the playstyle and existing content), but I must say that it's been really good so far. I feel like a newbie trying to learn about all these new quests, armour, weapons and bosses. But I don't mind since I had an open mind about it and realized that the BiS weps/gear back when I used to play isn't that good anymore. That's how it's supposed to be :)
+iam vete m8 dont forget to pay that nightmarezone bot some money to afk while u sleep and go to school because the game is hard dude! very hard! ehm.. yeah..>.>
iam vete we do have "nmz" but in form of dominion tower and that was created a long time ago so dont come say its a copy of nmz. and why is rs3 crap then? i think its 1000x better than osrs because of graphics gameplay and community aswell so overall a better experience to play :)
The friends part destroyed my soul. I regret not finding a way to contact them outside Rs. So many months/years spent playing with a few of them too. It's enough to make a grown man cry.
+Matti Meikäläinen it would be nice tbh, elder scroll online had a nice world mic system. it's hard to explain but you can have say w2 ge an not be to bad or at least only hear peeps on your FL/CC/FC
This made me so nostalgic :P Started playing on 2004, kept on it for a few years till 2010, by then I've only been on a lot of hiatuses. Lost my 2004 account, got it recovered through an appeal, had the 2010 account banned for botting, (I can only assume it was hijacked while I was in one of the hiatuses). Going to try to play both OSRS and RS3 at the same time.
w18ftw Well yeah, they are related. One is based on a previous iteration of the other. But RS3 has evolved so, so much that is irrecognizable by older players. I played back in 2010, when dungeoneering just came out, but find more things in common with 07scape. What's more important, the mindset and metagame (if you could call it so) of the two are completely different: hyperinflation has damaged RS3 beyond repair, and people are usually more hardcore about their goals and efficiency. Oldschool has a much more relazed vibe to it, which in turn makes it more of a social experience.
Joaquin Pirotto Wouldn't say its irrecognizable by older players, I quit for a few years after EOC as well, the thing is that you can just pick Legacy combat now and pick the game back up from there. It's still the same Runescape, but with a lot more updates (end-game orientated) and better graphics. You can also say that changes apply to any game (League of Legends, Dota, WoW, hell even Starcraft has a few expansions). Look at Osrs, the devs realize that if you don't update your game, people will quit on the long run. Inflation is indeed a problem, though you have to also say that Jagex is trying to fix it. Runescape has been ran by at least 10 years where there has been barely any money\item sinks. That's why the new death system is as it is now, and Invention works as it does now. Inflation is happening to Osrs as well, the difference is that Rs3 is 15 years old, Osrs is only 2. But you can still see the difference clearly already. Look at Zulrah's drops, how much is the blow pipe now, and how much was it a year ago? Osrs has the advantage of knowing how much no item\money sinks affect the game later on, since they have Rs3 as a big example, yet they do nothing about it. Although I don't know much about the Osrs community, I can agree that a lot of players indeed are taking the grind too seriously in Rs3, which is why a lot of minigames are just dead. Sorry if I made this such a drag to read :P
I just started playing again, the last time was about 8 years ago. It was so overwhelming honestly, i just got an mental break down and did not know what to do. Since then im just standing in varrock stalking people and asking them what armor they are wearing, which is called "outfits" now. I feel such a noob while i felt like a boss back in the day with my zammy armor. I think i will end my life now
Honestly, I just miss the old sound effects and music in RS (something about smacking a goblin or a chicken was just beautiful back then)... I'm fine with visual updates but the sound changes weren't needed especially the shitty music overhaul.
Huhbuhduh You'd be better off doing the quest yourself so I won't spoil anything but they did a horrible wrap up quest for the whole bandosian faction that "featured" Zanik... Just a way to write them all off...
1:00-1:06 Literally what I did when I first returned to RS. Didn't mind the new combat and updated graphics (I kinda prefer them) but 'm just sad none of my old friends play anymore.
1:00 That's what happened to me when I left in 2007 and returned in 2009! lol :p Back in 2006 some real life friends recommended RS to me to play. But in 2009, none of those friends still play RS, so sad...
I started playing the game again last year. I admit, that one part about Zanik was all too familar.... mostly because that's exactly what happened to me.
Haha, damn I'm early. Love your vids will, keep up the good work! And I noticed that video which I commented on and said you should get like 100k views per skit has almost 100k views haha :D
Brownay Meh, osrs developers have nailed it recently with patches, compared to other game producers like Valve who actually are making their games worse and worse.
'Well, Im a mithrilman!' Whoever wrote this, kudos to you
+n0f0rtwin56 Haha, thank you!
+n0f0rtwin56 was literally about to comment on that LOL. was pleased to see it was already a top comment :')
best line ever
What? It's such an obvious joke to make. Everyone has made this kind of joke once!
what is a mithrilman?
2:05
Spot on. OSRS is no longer Runescape Nostalgia Mode. It's evolving into what Runescape could've been.
Yea botscape 🙄
"oh man jagex removed my faovrite content" "what was it" "botting" LOL
omfg best joke ever xD
That part made me laugh. XD
😂😂
Funny thing is I still remember the detail of my old account from 07, logged in for the first time since then (well I logged in once in 2012) and it was wearing the grim reaper hood and the spiderweb cape...
You forget the "Hello random person, I haven't played for LITERALLY 14 years 11 months." - Guy
that part about an empty friends list got me Dx
+Josue Nordman I know the feel lol
+WhiteWolf448 Agree! That was the funnitest part. It was the same to me when I logged in lol
I know right. I always get an urge to log onto rs, then see no one is online and log back out.. It's always depressing
I got 1 friend still on from 05 >_>
I started in 06. I still got 1 friend from that time, and he's in OSRS
"The menaphos reputation grind sucks. I just want to do the quests."
"What the bloody he-"
Lost my shit.
Did you find it?
Haha I love at about 0:45 secs in the guy wearing full holiday gear. Nice touch indeed! I still remember the first time I caught an "alas!" head. Good times indeed.
"I'm a mithril-man!" caught me off guard and made me laugh out loud. I'm glad i'm finding these old videos of yours. :)
last part with osbuddy cracked me up!
Came back two years ago and just rolled with it. Still loving the game and I haven't even seen half of the newer content or quests.
Im a mithril man!" rofl
+RÈNALDAS that makes me a computer man!!!
***** well fuck
+RÈNALDAS And i'm cosmic override man!
James Parker I remember when sparc mac saw those overrides on legacy pk stream :D he was like: guys did you see that, that person is flying! What armour is that? and so on :D omg it was funny

+Luda Baws too good of a coment, you suck
Thanks for joining the RS3 community I am glad your not like most OSRS players that hate RS3 thank you :D
+Luda Baws Welcome to RS3. Be prepared to get bombarded with hate by OSRS children.
Luda Baws rs3 sucks ass
AcidicStylez OSRS is what made rubescape bitch
0:45 was me when I logged in for the first time in a while with a Grim reaper hood and a chocatrice cape hahaha. Spot on.
“Eew what is that?!?” Lol that part got me also the friend thing and taverly is so me.
Great video! I am glad to see all these people still interested in Runescape, as much as I still am!
*Standing outside of Prif* "what the bloody hell" classic. that made me genuinely laugh out loud i woke my roommate up XD
That OSRS bit at the end was great, who ever did the voice was perfect for it ^^
+INTYkun It was Skyzah. You know that guy. He's a person.
"Your mom must've started playing"
Why don't you have more likes I loled so hard!
I absolute adore the level of salt at the end of the video. I can't stop laughing!
Just because the graphics are prettier doesn't mean they're better. At least I could tell what I was wearing with the older graphics.....
You are my favorite RS youtuber - because you do the voice-over :D Keep it up!
Worst part about being a returning playing is looking at your friends list, I'll never delete mine, too many memories from reading those names
Lmfao thanks for the end of the video, you just wrecked all oldschoolers. That was too funny.
"What jagex removed my favorite content!"
"what was it?"
"botting..."
Hahhahaha, that ending bit was so god damn good.
+Anarchy Time It made me laugh so hard
All those shots fired at OSRS, I'm giggling so hard :D
+iam vete m8 dont forget to pay that nightmarezone bot some money to afk while u sleep and go to school because the game is hard dude! very hard! ehm.. yeah..>.>
+TvShopOnTv You can't do that anymore dumbass
I dont play the game anymore, so you're proving a great point against me ;)
+iV Eluveitie i want to see death dudes. when is the battle?
iam vete we do have "nmz" but in form of dominion tower and that was created a long time ago so dont come say its a copy of nmz. and why is rs3 crap then? i think its 1000x better than osrs because of graphics gameplay and community aswell so overall a better experience to play :)
0:47 hahaha dying, great job man!
That's how I felt after the Mighty Fall too.
not sure why i haven't subbed you until now. high quality content, and fair commentary on the state of the game.
2:22 I thought he was gonna sip some tea....nothing like a nice cuppa tea.
These videos brighten my day man! keep up the good work
what was that first outro song? (2:28)
The friends part destroyed my soul. I regret not finding a way to contact them outside Rs. So many months/years spent playing with a few of them too. It's enough to make a grown man cry.
can you do "if runescape had voice chat"
+AydenFX It's been on my to-do list for a few weeks, actually! I will get on that soon. :)
+AydenFX oh god. that would be horrible
+Matti Meikäläinen it would be nice tbh, elder scroll online had a nice world mic system. it's hard to explain but you can have say w2 ge an not be to bad or at least only hear peeps on your FL/CC/FC
Matti Meikäläinen thats the funny part, the video would show how shit it would be!
+AydenFX Won't be complete without a World 1 Grand Exchange clip
For some reason, I was expecting mention of our local trolljarrat, Sliske...
This made me so nostalgic :P Started playing on 2004, kept on it for a few years till 2010, by then I've only been on a lot of hiatuses. Lost my 2004 account, got it recovered through an appeal, had the 2010 account banned for botting, (I can only assume it was hijacked while I was in one of the hiatuses).
Going to try to play both OSRS and RS3 at the same time.
As a returned player, thing I say most is, "whats the best armor/weapon for my level?"
i hate the split community in runescape it upsets me, but great video once again
+Life In A Day You should think about it like 2 different games rather than two sides of 1, they have very little in common
+Joaquin Pirotto Seeing as how many updates of Osrs took inspiration from Rs3, I wouldn't call them 2 seperate games.
w18ftw Well yeah, they are related. One is based on a previous iteration of the other. But RS3 has evolved so, so much that is irrecognizable by older players. I played back in 2010, when dungeoneering just came out, but find more things in common with 07scape.

+Life In A Day #makerunescapegreatagain
Hahahaah I love this kind of stuff, shed light to new perspectives, Great video man keep it up
Returned player (wears full rune): "Ironman? You are ironman? Don't you know that iron is very weak? I am runeman! >:D"
I just started playing again, the last time was about 8 years ago. It was so overwhelming honestly, i just got an mental break down and did not know what to do. Since then im just standing in varrock stalking people and asking them what armor they are wearing, which is called "outfits" now. I feel such a noob while i felt like a boss back in the day with my zammy armor. I think i will end my life now
the challenge should be called mithril man now
I started playing rs3 in last summer after 10 years of break. love this video.
This is one of your best videos yet, Will!! A perfect 5/7!
Haha that start was perfect and the cave goblin part hahahaha
I'm a returned player, no clue how the new mechanics work but oh boy am I happy with the death of Guthix and the return of Saradomin!
Honestly, I just miss the old sound effects and music in RS (something about smacking a goblin or a chicken was just beautiful back then)... I'm fine with visual updates but the sound changes weren't needed especially the shitty music overhaul.
Hoenstly I love the newer music. Gives a cool cinematic feel
I only play OSRS and that last part was too true lmao
I JUST CAME BACK AND WHY ARE THEY SO MANY GODS WHAT IS THIS
I returned and the first thing i thought was wtf are those wings
My eyelid twitched at the "Sailing" part.
The only thing i could think while watching was "what is that"
Well said at the end. Might make the oldschool community a bit salty though ;)
+ZowskiiRS well, most of the os community who appear on social media are salty :')
+tom van der stoep very true.
+LeMorrow ツ you are one of the good ones then :P
+ZowskiiRS Haha - the aim was to make them a bit salty. :p It's all fun tho. :)
+ZowskiiRS i am from oldschool community and everything that was in the video basically went through my head when i got back to rs :D
The cave goblin quest part was extremely accurate for any quester not just returning player :D
Care to fill me in? The last quest in the questline I did was The Chosen Commander but that was years ago, I always loved Zanik's character.
Huhbuhduh You'd be better off doing the quest yourself so I won't spoil anything but they did a horrible wrap up quest for the whole bandosian faction that "featured" Zanik... Just a way to write them all off...
i liked the osbuddy part at the end especially. this was a great video
I played RS classic and quit when RS2 came out. The "What's this? What's this?" guy is a pretty accurate depiction of me right now.
The "Ew, what this?" makes me laugh, every time.
your videos never get old
All of this except the quests is me when I started playing again
>All off-line friends now have jobs, families and generally better stuff to do
>I'm the only loser who still plays RuneScape
1:00-1:06 Literally what I did when I first returned to RS. Didn't mind the new combat and updated graphics (I kinda prefer them) but 'm just sad none of my old friends play anymore.
What I said when I came back was, Divination seems fun to train and is very easy.
1:00
That's what happened to me when I left in 2007 and returned in 2009! lol :p
Back in 2006 some real life friends recommended RS to me to play. But in 2009, none of those friends still play RS, so sad...
An osrs player myself, but i still appreciate the humour XD thanks Will!
Ur #1 Strayan fan
I started playing the game again last year. I admit, that one part about Zanik was all too familar....
mostly because that's exactly what happened to me.
I came back 3-4 weeks ago after being away for 6 years, i'm guilty of 75% of these lol
"Nostalgia mate" LOL
this has to be my fav vid about rs
"What the bloody hell" XD
cosmetics really are a huge cancer to this game
thanks for using one of my suggestions
hahaha This series is amazing i love it!!!
That one video got me to return to Runescape after years. Still at it.
You honestly make some of the best runescape content out there, great job dude! =)
+pmloikju4 Thank you!
this is literally me! especially when looking if my friend still playing and none of them online
it actually took me a few months to find out how to toggle auto-retaliate when i came back, i used to switch to legacy to toggle it all the time :p
The outro song makes me feel happy.
Yay! Will Miss It uploaded a new amazing video! :D
I laughed really hard at the "botting" part haha
"Botting" that actually made me laugh hahahaha.
Lmao exactly what I said after I came back from a nice long break since 2011
This was pure gold :D
Haha, damn I'm early. Love your vids will, keep up the good work! And I noticed that video which I commented on and said you should get like 100k views per skit has almost 100k views haha :D
Will you make a video about the new godwars boss coming out? I heard it'll be pretty sick.
The great thing about the old Runescape was that you could run it in a browser, so you could play it *everywhere* ...
Like in class
You can still play it on Internet Explorer. I've played it plenty of times in class before the open beta for mobile came out
Awesome & accurate video Willy.
The last guy should also mention how small team osrs has and yet they do a better job than literally everyone else.
What do you mean?
+Twaid Tortoise butthurt osrs player, pixelated games arent hard to maintain
Johannes x Games RS3 :)
Twaid Tortoise
You confuse me. o-o
Brownay Meh, osrs developers have nailed it recently with patches, compared to other game producers like Valve who actually are making their games worse and worse.
as a returning 2005 player this week, this is 1000000% true XD
Keep up the great work!
It's so nice to see someone who isn't hating on RS3 for once.
Literally my friends list right now ;;
Earned a sub,laughed my ass off 😂😂
SAVAGED oldschool at the end looool. Great video!
Imagine if a returned player knew more about the new runescape than you did.
what remix of Autumn Voyage is it at 2:29?
Old RS player here just starting RS3 XD pretty much summed everything up beautifully XD lol
this was actually a really good video
I just unlocked priff.......only took me 14 years.
