I love this series because it’s not only the history of RS, it’s also the history of the “pre social media” internet. The internet was a wild place back the
Damn I never thought of it like this, games were sort of the start of social media really when you think about it though. I feel like that era fully died out when CoD MW2 released
Police chief: So, we have a whole set of tools to use to control and suppress riots, like tear gas and riot shields. How do you wanna do this? Jagex: genies and frogs
Heya Will! I feel it necessary to mention but you've been smashing it with these documentaries lately. This format really works for you, your deliverance, topic choices and in some places nostalgia pours character, and I'm really enjoying these videos! Keep doing your thing, King!
I wish someone would do a video on the June 2008 Wilderness Riot. It was one of the largest in history, arguably bigger than the original Pay to PK Riot despite happening like six months later. Worlds 1 through 4 were all full with mostly rioters in Varrock Square. I remember leaving a mostly-empty Varrock to go train on Flesh Crawlers and seeing the chaos already in full swing by the time I came back. Even the way it was planned was crazy, they had people comment on pretty much every RS related video at the time explaining what they were going to do. Rather than just a few hours or whatever, the riot actually lasted three full days, with a few people even trying to keep it alive on the fourth. Crazy stuff.
Looking it up it seems this one wasn't larger than the average ones. I can't find too much info on it - all the search results get taken by the Pay to PK one :P
@@rswillmissit Yo thanks for the reply! Nice vid btw. But yeah I feel like it wasn't documented well enough, hell I would've recorded if my 15 year old self wasn't totally inept with videos lmao. RS Wiki used to have a fairly detailed article on every Riot in history, but the pages were later merged.
I remember the Evolution of Combat protests. After a while it was clear quitting was the only way of sending a message, so I didn’t come back till @2017 and then payed OSRS.
@@nyunster to be fair it was an incredibly small number of players asking for a change. Just people pissed off they died in the wilderness or couldn't hit past a god damn two handed shield lol
I joined RuneScape just before the wilderness and free trade update occurred, and as a tiny little 9 year old I’ll never forget walking through the pink skirt riots in Varrock center on world 3. That and loitering in Lumbridge square are core memories for me.
Mani remember the riots about the Wildy pvp removal.. Now people barely pvp anymore on either version lol. More so on OSRS but not as much as it used to be
I remember it too, it was wild. I quit the game right after we finished with those protests tho. Only came back for real last year and it is good to see no trade limits
I just started playing runescape. And I never gave it a chance when I was younger but I'm actually really enjoying it ^^. I'm working on mining smithing and crafting to save up for a bond. After that ill start hunting for the pets.
@@koldolmen5837 I'm proud to say I haven't taken anything at all. I felt proud when I crafted my first set of armor. I'm going slow on my journey. I don't feel like I need to rush anything. I made my first 1k and its not a lot but I earned it so it's enough for me
It's clan chat in runescape 3. Friends chat is usually used for cores, portables, altars or even raids. Also the trade limit was the stupidest thing added to runescape ever.
rewillmissit, your content is informative, creative and most of all important to the history of runescape; I really enjoyed this video, cya in world 66 ;D
All i can complain about is that it came out that the removal of free trade and wildy was not because of stolen credit cards. Crumb or collnello did a vid on this.
First riot I remember was the first mass ban of bots in RSC, for a few days people made accounts that would auto close doors while auto chatting homophobic remarks towards Jagex. Wish I took screenshots of this stuff and still had it. Lmao.
The first riot I was a part of was when rs2 came out and a lot of rsc players didn’t want the change. I participated because I already had problems running the game with my shit pc and dial-up.
Bro i remember robtokill's Draynor riot! I had no idea what was really going on i just jumped in because there was a bunch of players circling around saying 🍌 i had no idea why it just seemed like fun so i joined in.
crumbs says tidus!!! is apart from rot aka reign of terror !!! is this true will cuz u did not mention this in the video i think aka not robtokill just the other boat (tidus)
wow that mass random encounter was like tear gassing. that was Effective AF
creative fr
ah, i see you''re a man of culture with the overkill logo.
i forgot how annoying randoms actually used to be
Fuck yeah that was awesome .

love how you put english subtitles, so i can translate them and watch comfortably

I love these RuneScape historical analysis videos!! Keep em up!
I was a part of the last one, the Wilderness riot... i told my parents i had to stay up late that night to be there.
we gonna need you again soldier
thanks for uploading :)
realy love those history video's of runescape from different runescape catorgy's
That random event strategy is the tear gas of runescape.
1) entity hider on 2) dismiss event 3) profit
I can’t imagine how many people were confused and trying to figure out that “cotton eye joe” reference lol
It’s about STI’s mate... have a checkup
@@robmatheson7435 wait, what?
I mean, OSRS had some Fally riots recently in response to the Equipment Rebalancing
osrs has riots every other week lmfao. they had a riot over a rainbow tie

@@nyunster notice they didn't change it for 2 - 3 years and then decide to listen.. I think that is the real problem.
We were trying to tell them how to not ruin their game. Yet they never listened. It took until after EOC in which it was too late.

Keep these history type videos coming!
man nothing better then reflecting on the times the whole community of rs was 12 years old and freaking out rioting. good ole days.
Still waiting here at Falador for everyone...
the free trade riot was iconic, i specifically remember my computer running at 1FPS because there were so many people spamming lmao
I remember it too, it was wild. I quit the game right after we finished with those protests tho. Only came back for real last year and it is good to see no trade limits
I have been in the wilderness and trade limit riots. Good times
Thank you for your service
/s
I am just loving these videos!!!! Keep them coming. :)
This is actually an amazing throwback, I was there in draynor that day
I'm a lil high but.. I thought my wifi was fucking up because of the quality and then I was like ohhh ... life before HD I forgot.
THERE WAS A RIOT FOR THE CENSORSHIP UPDATE IN 2020
Wow, @1:44 really caught me off guard. Fucking hilarious and criminally underrated! 😂
Imagine if instead of random encounters, they would've unleashed the river trolls.
I love falador. Such a great spot to train archery and magic
very good and cool video about a 2001 medieval clicking game.
I find it amusing that world 66 is now an EoC only world. :Wowee:
Oh man I remember being in fally and typing my spam because I though gary's auto typer would get me banned
The BP nerf riot was pretty large too, I personally know of a PMod that was there with me and they were even scared to talk
Damn those clan wars clips hit right in the nostalgia... We need to go back
Anyone know if the lag from Deadman Mode this summer resulted in riots coming back?
Aaah it's so fantastic to see some footage from riots I was in, amazing nostalgia.
As negative of an event as they can be, they are unforgettable.
"Supposed to go pk with my gringos but instead I'm here protesting"
I don't even play runescape, but I felt that
"where did they come from, where did they go, when was the first Runescape riot cotton-eyed joe." I was laughing so hard.
i was there for the SS riot! and was part of CoR but didn't go their riot
Mod Mark "They are all standing in Falador, spamming @ signs, with their cannons out and their Retribution prayers on"
Mod Ash: "Oh. My. God"
That cotton-eye joe line netted you my sub.

At least Jagex actually listened.
The internet was better back then.
There was a riot in osrs just the other day over blowpipe nerf

Thanks for this vid bro
I really can't understand why the mods would hold meetings in-game like that
Can we do this to get the permamute repealed

A meeting of moderators.. I've learned something new! Thanks.
Interesting video 😁👏🏻
I miss Clan Wars now 😭 Any old Divine Vindicators members watching this now? 🥺
1:33
My man has priorities.
Oh how times have changed
woah woah woah theres a pmod room
alright, so where's that moderator room location on the map?
riots are still alive and well with the hd 117 being the latest chapter
" nolol joku sanoo tääl old wildu back! "
When's the next riot? And what's the purpose fighting for?
Like your videos before they even start. 🤙🏼👍🏼
Solid video as always man
4:57 for riot dispersal using random events
have youi forgotten the pride event osrs event in 2016 that started a riot in fally?
Makes me miss when summoning first came out!
Just watching through some of these, riots seem alive and well in OSRS though.
This was really well done 👏🙌🏾
I remember the wildly and trade one. I went there.
I never actually got to see a riot even being around at that time. At best i saw mass spamming during a drop party. I say we bring it back.
kaiser chefs- i predict a riot
''Yo Jagex make me cry''

I joined in the middle of the wildy riots... I thought that was how popular RS was that millions spam you immediately
Bananas 🍌 😂😂😂 ya… at 13 Ida laughed my heart out lmao
Most recent riot followed the announcement of the equipment nerfs
Yes I remember world 2 had a fally riot for days on end
life imitates art
U missed 1 recently riot that happened it was about the blowpipe nerf that happened like what 3 weeks. Ago lmao also in falador w302
Briefly mentioned it in the start of the video :-)
the good old days
Lol I never knew about the clans crashing a pmod meeting thats so funny
I was there. Member of corruption. Rob to kill was our leader
so we what he was saying at the end is we need a new riot any one wana do it
Ok what about irc and swift kit they were better than the clan support we got eventually
too soon on the no riots
