    You deserve to be imortalized in the Varrock Museum for creating this historical informative video essay; as a player in 2001~ at the age of 5, now playing since 2019~, there's is almost literally no collected information developed between when I stopped playing in around 2005 (because it was "not cool") and now. Between "Best in slot" gear and huge milestones I have to earn in order to "play the game" I've felt lost as a "new" player and this video really helps someone learn the game literally from the ground up.
    Bravo!

    I've played this game since I was 12 (currently 27). Idk why but I almost cried numerous times while watching this video, it just brought back so many memories of my childhood and teenage years, to early and later college times. I remember when so many of the things mentioned in the video actually occurred in real life and I could also think about what all was going on in my personal life at the same time. Imo, this is the best overall game ever made. I have learned so many things from it over the years I have played, and enjoyed every second of it. It is definitely a big part of what has made me who I am today. Was my second time watching this vid just btw 🙂✌

      @@SAGGING_GUT I'm glad to see someone with the same views as mine. Soul wars, shooting stars, neither of those belong in osrs. And don't even get me started on the ezscape that is tempoross (80k xp/hr?!). :/ also, jagex has been ramping up the frequency and severity of unpolled updates, including content which has nothing to do with game integrity. And that's furthering the feeling of osrs turning into rs3. If you're interested in a video discussing the dangers of unpolled updates including the blowpipe/dhide nerfs, I'll be uploading a video about it on my osrs channel De_Void in a couple weeks.

      @@brandonmcgillis well, let's be real, sometimes statues with vague figures are appropriated by people who recognized a real hero (even if they only ever played the video game) The Old Nite was apparently nice to everyone he spoke with.
      It would seem that the statue prveiously deidcated to someone or some piece of lore was retroactively coopted by the players to remember The Old Nite. Legendary.

    That monologue at the end actually gave me tears.

Stopped playing for a long time, but returned every now and then after OSRS was released. this year's january i started my current account, and i never stopped playing since. thank you for the memories! Awesome video!

    As an on and off player since November 03, thank you so much for making this. This was a complete walk down memory lane that's irreplaceable. People don't often understand why when I say how important Runescape is and was to me because it taught me most everything I know about macro economics, stocks, programming, and the human condition. Growing up with the childhood and parents I had it was instrumental in forming the person I would eventually become since it was near impossible to develop real world relationships. I listened to most of this video with my fiancee and broke it all down for her too. She played for like 1 year but never got into it like I did. That's enough rambling though, thanks again for putting this effort in and making a solid tour of the timeline that I can share with my old rs friends.

    Runescape, specifically osrs, gives me a huge sense of calm when I grind for stuff, for example, right now I'm farming pure essence, extremely simple task, repetitive and boring for most of you... but meanwhile I do it, I think of my life, my business, my job, my wife and kids... gives me a very weird head space where I can regroup myself and follow a plan.

    I have come back and watched this video about 3 times over the last 3 years and every time it eats me up inside. It is truly the best video ever made of our beloved game and thank you so much for keeping this masterpiece rolling. The amount of research put into this and the detail provided is profound. Thank you so much. ❤

    Just watched the entire thing in one go, and I just wanted to say thank you for making this video! As a new player who just started the game this week, this video really explains a lot of what I'm seeing in the game and it's really interesting to also learn how the game and community has evolved through the years. Great job!

      Yes no other game had so much of my time than RuneScape. My gaming before and after RuneScape has totally changed. I was not a gamer after I was done with RuneScape back in 2000-2005. Many rage quit, frustrating game changes and deleting all my characters at random time I would never play again. I was aware they updated the graphics (now it’s called old school RuneScape or classic). It’s not the same game I used to be obsessed with.

    25 years old and wow I’m at my seat like I’m 11 again man have you hit some nerves. This video was beautiful, it’s like I traveled back almost. I’ve had-almost nothing constant in my life except RuneScape. It brings me so much joy, and almost like A sense of security and yet I’m still clowned for playing this game until this day lol - I know only other RS’ers understand but this game really is something special. I’m glad it survived and thrived as it did. It deserved it.

    I played this game since 2004 and always get the nostalgic feel to go back to this game once in a while, it never gets old. Your video's helped me bring that sense of my childhood memories back to me. Keep in mind Whenever a bad comment comes your way to always think of the reason that you are making the video's, for the people that will love your video's, keep up the good work👍

    2012 Was really the end of the original RS feel you got. I remember playing all the way from 2004-2008 and then on and off after that up to EOC.
    The golden era was for sure 2005-2008 Legends where made like Zezima. I still remember some of my friends from world 7 top left of Varrock square even though I've not seen them since that. Cola turk michaelababe Rich and many more!
    Runescape Truly is a phenomenal game to play. So thank you to the Gower brothers (especially Andrew) for making what essentially was their childhood imagination into a reality I'll never forget anything about Runescape in my life even if its 50 years down the line. I could picture these cities and areas better then I can my own city I live in. Great video and outro, Learned so much I had not known about Runescape history.

    Watching the 2012 portion of the video reminded me why I pretty much stopped playing that year, lmao what an absolute joke that year was. Absolutely beautiful to see how OSRS has evolved over the years though
