If this gets a lot of support, I might make another one of these about The Old Nite. :)

The thing I love and hate about online games. Friendships. Back when I started in 2005, I was only 8. I shouldn't even have played games. Hell I didn't even speak English, learned most of it from RS and other sites I visited. I made so many friends. Played for years. Then I was one of those who quit with EoC. I came back when oldschool started, and my first pain was seeing my once busily online friends list completery dead. Months passed, and no-one came up. I decided to put it behind me, but as I deleted the names I also decided to write them in my notes, with a short line of thought about our little adventure. I miss those days. Runescape isn't as good as it used to be. Is it because of updates? No. It's the friends we lose on the way. Runescape isn't the most enjoyable and well-made game I played, but definitely the one I had my happiest moments with, and that all is because of the friends I never tury knew. Thank you, for making my childhood gaming memorable.

Sorry guys! I had to re-upload the video due to copyright issues, but it's all good now! This guy was my biggest inspiration when I was 10 years old. It was that inspiring feeling that made me never leave this game even after a decade. Because of that inspiration, I now have the best job ever, and it changed my life. I hope I'm not the only one that remembers him.

10 loneliest places in runescape

It'd be nice to know how he's like today and what he's doing in life. I remember him back in 2004-2005. He will always be one of the Runescape greats.

Had no idea he managed this is a little over 2 years... damn

His messages are well worded and quite deep

N0valyfe speaking here, Thank you Mote Plox.

Mote...i dont really play the game anymore but your channel is one of my favorite in all of youtube. Nova was alive in my prime time! I was in middle school, your keeping the old runescape memories alive man and i appreciate that. Watching this video brought back sooooo many memories. Love your vids mote keep it up!

That quote was beautiful

Possibly my favorite video you have made so far. Honestly gave me chills the whole time.

I loved how the old interface looked, I cant even explain why I just like it hahaha

The part about quieting on his own terms and not letting time decide really hit home. I wish i had done that :(

Right in the Feels :'( I remember him back when I had my first ever account - Heroes die but Legends live on...

I'd like to imagine he's out there still playing on another account. Maybe getting online every couple weeks or so. A great legend who will never fully be forgotten.

Another forgotten legend certainly has to be Zarfot. I feel like the majority of the current players dont really know who he was and what he meant to the game. He single handedly elevated the game to a different level for anyone who aspired going for skill records or just overall effeciency. A lot, if not all of the top page hiscore players at the time would frequently visit the forums to use his skill guides on effeciently gaining levels. He's deffinately worth looking into.

Amazing video Mote :) would love to see one on The Old Nite

Talk about pulling at the heart strings. Has me recalling all the runescape greats I've seen come and go, and the few I've had the pleasure of chatting with. This game is part of what made my childhood. Awesome vids btw man!

Wow this takes me back. I started in 02, many of your videos hit home for me. Thanks for the uploads. I just started back a few days ago on runescape and i see how much easier the game is now.

Wow. amazing video

He did come back briefly when Summoning was released to check it out but lost interest quick.

This video has given me a deep appreciation for the game, this has helped me finally depart from my Runescape journey. Thanks for being a part and parcel Mote Plox, some of n0valyfe's words really struck a cord in me. :')

I found your video's about three days ago and then came across this ... Extremely moving. Actually made me cry

who remembers Gertjaars? xD

Thanks for the upload mote. You're my favorite RS youtuber by far and I've been around on your channel since you had 2000 subs. You always end up bringing back the nostalgia for me, knowing that it will never be the same as it was back in 05 and 06. For that I thank you and I hope you are doing well with everything. Once again, thank you!

I remember those days. I was in awe of the world around me during elementary school. Runescape to me was something to behold and allowed me to immerse myself in another world when the time in the real one only hurt. I did not know who you were or when you were, but you words echo into my memories. Visions from times past well up from the depths of my mind and bring tears to my eyes. Words left behind for us, so beautiful the sound. Being left in a space for all to see almost does not do it justice, but rather should be etched into our hearts. For the message is to inspire and to leave its mark on us and not the Internet. You, whose name I do not know, have left your inspiration onto me and those around. You have nothing less but my utmost respect and gratitude. We may not remember you or your name, but the feeling you gave shall always resonate in all of us. Farewell and safe travels, N0valyfe. May your adventures be as vast as the sky and as deep as the ocean.

that ending gave me the chills but was emotional. Great vid!

I do indeed remember him.

zezima was my role model when i was a kid

Mote Plox. Seeing your videos really makes my heart pound. It makes me want to relive my childhood memories. I know the OSRS is still out there but it just doesn't feel the same it used to back in 05-09 when I was still playing.

Man this video was beautiful, made me really nostalgic.. I've played since maybe 2005-2006 but never got a 99, always played for fun only.. Quit years ago but still watch Rs videos. Man this made me feel so sad, I miss the magic runescape used to make me feel when I was a kid..

top 10 on player suggested updates not implemented

uloveme is the forgotten legend everybody remembers n0valyfe and the old nite

Thank you Mote. I had forgotten. This video brought a tear to my eye. A True legend, he definitely understood how to love the game. Thanks for showing the images, and his old site.

That ending hit me right in the feels man! I legit teared up.. Great video man!

Jordan...and lives in us....didnt know Mr Mammal had a differend account, Kappa

I thought his name Novalyfe came of Nolife xD

This is great, man. I always loved N0valyfe. still join his cc once on a while

The last part you mentioned about kids having role models, and yours being a scaper, i totally resonate with that. I grew up with Runescape and it was a huge part of my life. Loved this story.

I wonder what he's doing now? It would be cool to know.

>Thought no one would get 99 in any school because of difficulty >Cooking

That was a good one, Mote. It has a way of unearthing all the nostalgia in your heart. I love that you choose to keep inspiring! It helps people more than you know.

Hey Mote, I just want to say that your videos have inspired me to come back and play the game that I fell in love with as an 8 year old. I've watched nearly every video of yours now and I'm so happy that there's a KZfaqr out there who's making runescape videos, the way you do. The way they capture the pure nostalgia of childhood memories that I thought I'd forgotten is such a great feeling. I can't thank you enough for inspiring me to play the game once again. Please never stop making videos. -A new fan of yours

Great video as always Mote! What if N0va is out there playing Osrs for fun, not competitively? :o Osrs

what a nice video

Hey man, thank you for making this video. It really brought me back to when I started playing in 06 as well. I hadn't thought of runescape legends as my role models but I realize now that they were. Thanks man I appreciate your videos.

hit me right in the feels man... amazing video!!!

Plot twist. Suomi is N0va. Dun dun duuuuuuuun!

deep in me something died seeing this, probably a chicken nugget.

Mote, you are a legend among men, keep up the great work and I hope you continue to grow into the best RS video makers out there.

A true legend right here. Never met the guy, but I remember his hype. No longer play the game, but I watch your videos for the feeling of nostalgia, and this was one of the strongest feelings right here. I miss the good ole days, Mote. I miss walking around Varrock with the feeling of unfamiliarity, I miss the feeling of selling cow hides, and I miss not having to pay for car insurance, a car payment, rent, PG&E and taxes.

Who remembers x Helchild x?

Why does Mote Plox make you wanna play osrs?

This was a great vid, Mote. As I have continued to play RS since 2007/2008, the game has become more about stats and grinding more than what it was originally: an adventure. This upload has definitely inspired me to play the game as a true RPG once again.

I played this when it first hit back in the day, I remember playing with friends on our elementary school computer lab computers, and cramming in each others houses to trade off playing. Today the game is very different but brings back a lot of those good old memories. I'll miss the good ole days but today's osrs is still amazing. I love your videos, keep up the great work

lik if u cri evri tyme

Make this a series! Awesome vid, Mote.

This video here.. has made me miss my runescape account. I loved Old school runescape, and Runescape3. Thank you for sharing this video, I don't know when but I will come back to Old school because that is what got me so far in general. this game was my stress reliever and it'll always stay in my mind for years and years to come. for anyone who is embarrassed of playing this game, don't you'll thank it down the road.

You know... This is beautifully put together man, I remember being young, playing this game and I remember when he was fighting for rank 1! I hope the man himself actually gets in touch with you. Amazing video

Right in the feels man I was in Gladiators (Gladz)with him before they split and I went to Dark Slayers(DS). In the screenshots you have are a lot of my friends that don't play anymore maybe a couple with me, those where the best times for me, because of all of them and the stuff we used to do together. Old school looks kind of like it was but the people I want to play with are gone. Honor pking in the deep wildy with the greatest clans and players Runescape has ever known gives me pride, it might sound funny but it was a big part of my life it made me feel good to play. Thanks for making this video.

This is such a beautiful video, Mote!! It's crazy how an online game has affected so many of us emotionally through the years. How the memories made in RuneScape are of such genuine happiness, wonder and adventure. RuneScape is such a magical game, I feel lucky to have been a part of the glory days!!

respect good sir, respect, yogosun has always been my inspiration as i have seen and talked with him at willows for a brief period of time. im glad you have someone to look to while on the grind.

Omfg Novalyfe! I remember him. I used to look at all his pics on photobucket. This is awesome mote.

MOTE THESE VIDEOS MAKE ME TEAR UP GOD DAMNIT MAN HOW DO YOU DO IT. THIS GAME IS JUST SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL

beautiful video mote! didn't know the player myself but nice seeing g how much of an impact he's had on your life! good work pro!

I'm glad someone remembers him. I followed his Freehostia site back in the day as well. Everyone talks about efficiency these days, but he was really the first to show how it's meant to be done. More importantly though, he loved the game :P I remember a lot of the people from his "travels" page, but I never got to meet n0va himself.

Such an inspiration, this makes me so happy that there were people that loved the "game" in that sentence.

I started around 2007-2008 when I was like 8 or 9 years old. Sad I missed out on one of the greats. Thanks for sharing this! I never would have known about such an amazing player.

Just browsing through rs videos, Never thought i would come across a legend that should never be forgotten in this world we strive in.

This made me cry. The memories of runescape... Such a great memory. If I could ever go back in life i would chose the moment to go back to playin'' runescape. The great journey I had in runescape. It is one of the greatest experience I''ve ever had! Runescape has learned me everything. It teached me proper English. But also the way of how people think and how people are. People really think that games are nonsense. But i think otherwise, especially for this game. It teaches you life in a whole other way. I must admit that Runescape is and will forever be in my hearth. Even tho I wasn''t the best, or i didn''t desire the game as much as other players did. It''s still the greatest memory I have. Thank you Mote Plox, for making me remember a time in life that is so precious!

I was 13 in 2004 and I defiantley remember nova. I can admit I have forgotten him and most of the influential players on there. But this was a lovely reminder of not only him, but my own fond memories of the game. Thank you.

It sends a shiver down my spine only that I almost forgot about him thanks for the reminder Mote!

Mote is one of those guys where i go a month without watching his videos, then one peaceful night i'll binge watch all of the ones i haven't seen and really appreciate the comedy in them. Thanks Mote! (:

I remember when we all came over to RS from Age of Empires. Jordan was a relaxed dude and this was the perfect game for him. An absolute grinder. Thanks for the video

Favorited. What a great video. The effort shows man, keep it up.

Crazy, I remember all those old guys on the High scores, I would always check them but didn't really get into the game until 2006. This made me sad that old runescapers quit and don't even come back to say hello, I am maxed now and soon my journey will come to an end, until next time when I decide it is time again probably on a new account but thank you for reminding me of him, I wish he was still here I seen him around a few times back in the day.

I'm glad this was made, not only is he my favorite player but I still think about him and even look at his old blog website from time to time, which you still can because it was archived. It's a shame I started playing RS around the same month he quit and missed out on a lot of things going on in the community back then. As much as I still love the actual game, it will never be like it once was. By that I don't mean updates changing it, but it will never have the magic again of when the game was fairly new, and the community was smaller but more close knit.

Beautiful video, Great work man. He was indeed a legend.

that was quite... tear jerking. i'v played this game for over 13 years and never even knew about him. never heard his name or anything. thank you mote for showing me this Legend of a man.

This video is very kind of you to make. I agree with his ending words and I believe we should live by that not only in Runescape, but in real life as he stated. Keep doing what you do, Mote, glad we could learn a little more about you - referring to how much you looked up to him and showing us some of the things he said/did that some of us might have never looked up ourselves. :)

I have been playing this game for 12 years (since I was 9) I still play it to this day on the same account, OSRS now ofc and I remember all of these players. I know it's just a game but I made so many friends and had so much fun playing it. Thanks for the nostalgia :)

Please make another! I love any kind of video you make, you come up with the best ideas and productions!

Mote. I'm not sure if you'll ever read this, but in my eyes you are a legend. I love you and thank you for all these great videos you have put out. When these videos were originally released, I watched all of them, I loved them and I'm forever thankful because I keep coming back to them so many years later for inspiration. You make me realize that runescape is so much more than just a game. God bless you xx.

this is exactly why i love runescape... its not only about grinding, its also about the journey you experience on the way to the top... i probably cannot even imagine all the stress and sleepless days that went into that one account in such a short time... but its awesome to be able and go back to see every step he did to make that account what it is today and i try to follow in his footsteps so i can also see what its like to have so much and i cant wait for the day its all done and i can look back at every second of it :) ... rip n0va

Mote, you kill me when you uploads videos like this. From a time when I was younger and the game was a true adventure, with true role models like him and Zezima who were legends in our view. I can't help but feel the need to shed a tear to a generation of games who we had encountered and who have since moved on and left us behind. I'd also like to give them a standing ovation and my own word of thanks for helping to contribute not only to this game but also to the person I am today.

Omg you almost have 100k subs! Congratz man that's crazy man 👏🏻👏🏻

The ending was so sad. I'm crying in the inside. :'( Long live the great legend, N0valyfe!

Really brings up a flood of memories from back in the day :'( I have been playing for 10 1/2 years. I remember tutorial islands, cows, dark wizards by varrock. All of it as a flood of memories that just pulled on my heart since I was a child

That is heartwarming man i remember him and remember everything i did in this game, i miss the old days..young no responsibilities played this game all day and felt happy for 99 :)

so many memories man youre making me emotional

This was so touching! You're awesome, Mote! Keep making the great videos! :D

I'm happy I wasn't the only fan of him. I remember finding his website around 2006 and that was like a gold mine. I learned to play properly from him. Yeah, these days efficiency is a completely different beast than it once used to be but it's important to take note of those that started it first. And he shared with us all just how he did it all which was unheard of at the time.

love it!! miss him and i miss the good ol’ days when i started in ‘05

Wow he really was an inspiration... his last words too are so powerful... it really brings a tear to my eyes. Such a special game this is...

This just touched every bit of nostalgia in my body. This game was great. It was also a bad time though. As my friends and family around me went out and played. I missed out a lot on life in the real world. But I did gain a lot of great life experiences in the process with meeting good people and having a good time.

I remember seeing N0valyfe a few times and watched him climb the ranks during his short journey. I always wondered how Zezima would stay ahead. It was really neat seeing N0va pass him for a few weeks. I started playing in June 2004 and not a week goes by that I don't check the updates for the game. I don't play much anymore but I don't every now and then. I will always have love for this game!

Hello again Mote! LOVE YOUR CONTENT! KEEP EM COMIN'!

Damn, being a later RS player I had never heard of n0va, and didn't expect to be so emotional at the end of the video. Watching this brought back so many memories and so much nostalgia from when I used to play RS every single day as a kid. Runescape will always be on my top list of games, one I will never forget, and one I will always have to most memories from. Thanks Mote for uploading such a touching video, which also helped brighten my mood after a hard few days. You will always be one of my favorite youtubers, and thanks again! :)

Wow, awesome last words, i knew about N0valyfe, but now, i admire him even further.

even though i started playing rs back in 06 i never heard of n0va so it was a nice video for even a vet like me to watch and hear of the story of a forgotten legend.
