Lets all collectively forget everything we know about rs and go back to this.

Dude, I know it was only about 14 years ago, but this makes me feel so old, like I'm an old man watching cassette tapes as a kid. This is nuts.

Hope "We are the 0" came home safe

This was the best time of my life. Going out with ur friends, coming home, and playing RS the whole night. This was the Time, when flax picking was a good way to money I was so proud when i was able to wear blue d hide.

back when you could find someone pking on every single world

This is like our Ancient Egypt hieroglyphics

"I used to be so curious on what was behind the members gates" damn we all had the same childhood

I remember getting from 2 mil up to 3.5 mil by merching whips and robin hood hats in Fally gardens world 2. I was so excited that I had all this money, I dropped it on the floor to see what the stack looked like with a view to pick it back up again. The game froze and logged me out. I desperately tried to enter my log in details as quickly as I could before it appeared to other players. The second I logged back in I saw it appear, and some level 105 in a santa hat ran over and picked it up. I begged him to give it back but he didn't believe that it was mine and told me to do one. I didn't log back in for another year.

Starting off the nostalgia train: "Poop" Sounds about right.

"Bro I can hit 16s now" "What now way dude"!

Back when we all used to say “W00T!!!”

damn man i feel bad for the peoiple who didnt experience this....cant believe its been 14 years...makes me so sad :( i was 10 years old when i started in 2006

How fucking cool were HAM robes when you first got members 🤣 so many great memories.

It trully was the "cluelessness" what made this game so great back in the day. Best memory of Runescape I have to this day, was when I started playing for the first time... spent nearly whole week playing, but actually never left Lumbridge... my friend told me to make some money so the only way I knew to make money was killing goblins. He didn't tell me how much is that and how should I do it, so I picked my Bronze Sword, Bronze med helm and wooden shield and started stabbing those green fuckers to death. He told me that I have to make money for a Rune set. After like 40 hours of killing goblins (only picking up the gold drops) I had few k in my backpack and taxi'd someone to varrock. There at the west bank a guy was selling Rune set so I traded him, he put the whole set there and I offered my few k I had. He declined the trade and wrote "This isn't enough, give me more" After few minutes of me trying to explain this is all I have and it is A LOT OF MONEY, I don't know if he was a noob like me or just a really kind person and gave it to me for the money I had. For nearly 5 months I had the rune set in my bank and I was leveling my defence to 40 with the bronze sword I had AND on stab. After that when I was finally able to equip it I couldn't equip the platebody where I don't know how I didn't noticed that I needed the Dragon Slayer quest completed. So there I was with a panic attack writing on support that my account is bugged and I cannot equip Rune Platebody even though I'm level 40 defence. To this day I have their response on my email since I screenshoted it to my friend and send it to his email so he could translate what they've replied (I had only a basic knowledge when it came to english so not only was I learning the game, but the whole language too) I wonder if they would send the same response as they did to me back in the day... because they've explained in-depth what I need to do so I could equip the Rune Platebody. God bless these memories and if anyone read it whole, please do share some of your memories... I'd love to read them

I miss when Castle wars had so many people playing

Runescape back in 2006 was a portal to wonderland. Greatest game experience of my life. Even more than Xbox and WoW combined. I was having SO much fun in that world. It almost hurts to think about.

My saddest moment was in 2005 in one of my first days of playing. 7 year old me fetched bananas in Karamja for 30gp each full inventory. I finally got to 1000 coins and was so happy. Only to get killed by a Karamja snake soon after. I was in tears, it was so unfair.

who else looked for their own characters name in all of those pictures

My close irl friends told me about the game back in 2006. When I first started playing I remember being too scared to go any further than lumbridge. I'd kill goblins with the basic loot I got from tutorial island and thought that goblin mail was a super wicked drop and would run to the general store immediately and sell it, that's how I made my money. After about a week of playing I saw my sister (who also played with me and my irl friends) walking through Al-kharid, fascinated, I asked her how she got there.. She showed me the way and when it was my turn on the computer I vividly remember running straight there and after about 2 minutes of exploring I died to a scorpion by the mine. I lost everything I had and was absolutely devastated and cried for about 20 minutes and swore I'd never play the game again. My sister saw me and asked why I was crying and when I told her what happened all she said was "Why didn't you bank anything?". Ffs I didn't even know there was a bank. I still play off and on and to this day that memory haunts me every time I pass that stupid mine. I also remember killing cows for hours for my first mithril scimmy and not long after I obtained it I died in the wilderness to a pker, needless to say i cried once again and swore never to play but sure enough, here I am. = ]

You were a cool kid back then if you had a hell cat. Only the high level players had them.

Mini clip is how I found runescape back in 2005!

"Be nice to him, because this time i'm probably not coming back" wow

I remember when construction came out I had a kitchen would throw house parties in my level 25 construction house and tell players to use their valuable item with the table, kick them out of the house and YOINK.. I got banned lol..

Man I was so nooby back then I didn’t figure out people traded in fally until I had 3-4 months in playing I sold everything to general stores playing like a iron man before it was cool 😂

I remember these days so well, everyone used to pk in wildy easy varrock, north or the sawmill, nobody pks there now...

Loved Swiftswitch, brings back many fond memories! The OG metal dragons really hits home, got 60-99 magic in 2006 on steel dragons.. took over 400k chaos runes and 8 months, back when d legs were 2.5m!

what a wonderful video. Reminds me of logging in just for the feeling of wonder. My friends and I had no idea wtf we were doing, and there was a simple beauty in hitting up castle wars all night long. Thank you so much for this video. Easily one of my favourite RS videos on youtube.

Running around in Castle Wars with a G Maul was the best thing.

Can we please have more content like this? I wouldn’t even mind an hour long video with this type of content but even more detailed. It’s fascinating. I played at that time and was an absolute noob. I love the memories this video reminds me of.

i want to be a child back in 2004 again just to experience this all over again, genuine nice people, genuine curiosity , with as little content runescape had back then you never got bored

This warms my heart. Thanks for sharing. I miss those days. Bank Sale! Life and games were so unique. I can't believe you tossed in the music. Never get that feeling again, but the music gets you as close as you'll ever get.

These pictures are super nostalgic :) I quit the game in 2008. I recently got the urge to try OSRS, and stumbled upon your channel!

i remember getting membership cards from my parents for christmas in like 09 and being so damn hyped! i miss these days of the game, and being a clueless kid. The Internet isn't the same anymore

The coolest part about runescape back in the day was the free trade system. You can see in multiple screenshots people saying things like "Spending 1m". That's such a cool idea. This guy has money and has no idea what to spend it on and you can just trade him and see what he offers for your items. There is no grand exchange. There are no set prices. You barter or come up with your own prices. I remember trying to merchant for hours upon hours back in the day just sitting in Falador park or around Varrock bank with hundreds/thousands of other players. There were distinct areas meant for certain things to trade. You used to trade saradomin/guthix/zamorak armor north of West Varrock bank. I remember selling barrows armor in Falador park. All the rich bastards would be in certain parts selling party hats, Santa hats, and other rares. Man, good times.

This touched my heart so deep. You could wander around Runescape and meet random people across the game. And the only meeting place where world 1 and 2 where people wouuld trade in varrock falador and Camelot. Ohhh my god the memories strikes good. really enjoyed watching this.

“Runescape was your entire screen” being immersed in the game as you said, will forever be everlasting to me.

i got scammed back then when i was buying a whip and it got switched to a noted rope. broke my heart. good times

I was training with a rune halberd at ardy zoo - I thought that was peak legend back then because it could hit quite high. This guy comes up to me and is super friendly, we chat for like half an hour and he compliments me on how high I can hit. He is curious as to how much he could hit and asks if he could borrow it. I was tentative, told him how I struggled to trust people because I'd been lured into the wildly 8-trillion times. He reassured me with his friendly charm - took it, hit the grizzly bear a few times, acted as if he would give me it back after then logged out. 80k that took me half a year to earn, gone. So sad.

8:13 Thehate! He was a legend back in the day and consistently a top player along with Zezima, The old Nite, English King, N0valyfe and many more. So much nostalgia, thank you so much for making this video!

The real question is did anyone ever find out about "We are the 0" whereabouts? please I really would like to know!!!!

DUDE, seeing how many players use to play back then really breaks my heart,how much it's died since then so sad....I'm happy I got to experience those days though, cherish forever.

I remember always carrying my cash stack with me because I liked seeing it add up when picking up coin drops. One time I died at dark wizards because I didn't pay attention and I didn't make it back in the 2 mins you had (losing 60k). The tears were real boys.

Thank you for sharing this. I played Runecape religiously from 2005-2008 and then took a hiatus for a year and played moderately in 2010, and then started a new in 2015 in OSRS for a few months. These pictures really bring back the nostalgia. And by nostalgia I don't simply just mean 'oh good times' but I'm referring to palpable sense of emotion that these evoke and the window into my childhood outside of the game. For example, seeing that 2005 health bar reminds me of being a kid, still exploring and learning about the game, hours on end after school . The yellow smile face icon for friends list reminded me of how excited I was to check to see if any of my friends were online at the same time as I and talking about the game in real life to some old childhood friends. The old school bank in Fally reminds me of merchanting bowstrings of prayer pots or unid herbs and planning in my spare time my next merchanting strategy/endeavour, calculating how much margin I could make with different commodities. The scroll bar in the chat pane reminds me of how carefully I read the progress text of a quest, or how I mastered the flash/scroll animations, which I unequivocally credit for my 160 wpm (haha!). These memories aren't just 'good times', but it's an anchor to parts of my childhood outside of gaming that otherwise I would've forgotten.

me and my dad used to play Runescape together a lot back in 06 07 08 he just passed in dec. this video brought back a lot of memory's and made me a little emotional glad to have found your channel

I still remember my first day in members... Was at my F2P training spot on Karamja killing lessers with ranged when I got my first "walliekaart" which i got membership with from my mom.. Best moment in my life when I got myself a magic shortbow for the first time.

This makes me a little sad... I miss those days...

Dude thank you so much for this vid! Brings back so many good memories! I started playing in 2005 and I recognise all of it. Still getting those teenage kid feelings when looking at some of the pictures :3. After 15 years im still playing Runescape. Its been such a big part in my life. At least I can say my English is high on average compared to others within my range of age in my country. Im sure this comes forth out of playing RS for years haha

I remember lobster fishing was so popular for f2p. Kids would sit there hours during the summer break. And people actually talked to each since KZfaq wasn't really a thing. Sometimes you might put on some music that you downloaded over Limewire. Those were some magical times for the internet.

Castle wars was life back in the day lol, I remember the first time I got ancient magics back then and it was amazing to flex it there 😂

Been playing since 2005 and these pictures are pure gold. Damn, so many memories and stories to tell.

I never take time to comment, but these vids are amazing and I could watch them all day. I'm so glad that gentleman shared his photos with you. Very wholesome content and very unique. Keep up the good work!

This has to be the best nostalgic runescape video on youtube. These screenshots are an absolute gold mine.

I always tell my friends how educational runescape is: First game where i got scammed Learned how to type by competing with everyone outside varrock bank on that grass Grinded hours just to buy a weapon to go fight in wildy only to die and realise how tough grinding is T_T Very realistic market socialising and the list goes on....

I started playing in 2001. I was 8 years old when my brother introduced it to me. I still have screenshots from 01-06 and I enjoy looking at them from time to time. It reminds me of some of the great times I captured from that time. Cool stuff!

my head just exploded seeing swiftswitch after almost seventeen years of having it buried in my memories. that’s the client i used back in middleschool!

Thank you for this flash back back then was some of the best memories I have. Man I miss the good old days ,😥 thank you again for this trip down memory lane.

8:12 "Another level 126. I wonder if that guy still plays" - Man... That's Thehate!! He was big back then. Not as much as Zezima obviously but I'd say top 10. He was the first to reach 99 Agility and first to reach 2277 total level after the release of Hunter. He was also rank 12 in 2002. (From wiki). Thanks for the video. Still playing right now on my OSRS Ironman. Not only did I enjoy the pictures but I appreciated your commentary. 27:14 Autolycus... Another top player there. Can't remember much about him. One more thing that made everything more valuable was how hard it was to get items, and how you had to find out how much they were worth. If there was only one guy selling a d chain at fally park, he could boost that price a couple mill and someone could have bought it. It was all a time thing. How long were people willing to wait. I made millions merching d bones by fally east bank. I got scammed right by the edgeville - wildy boundary when there was no trench or anything. My buyer was standing two squares inside the wild alching. His combat level was way to high for me to even worry. Naïve me... I trade him, a guy logs in with ancient magiks and kills me. Lost my blue mask. Worth about 14m at the time.

I remember buying membership as a kid. I wrote a letter to Jagex and sent them an envelope filled with coins that I saved up. Those were truly more simple times.

take a shot everytime he says "back then"

Man if I could get the hard drive from my PC that carried me from 2001 to 2007. So much nostalgia from my childhood. Thank you for sharing this.

They should bring back the finding random garbage items in crates, cupboards, chests etc

Got scammed for 50k for a rune 2h with the iron swap trust issues ever since lol

That feel when you check to see if the one friend on for friends list is online. Simpler times for sure! Thanks for sharing guys.

I probably got a few hundred screenshots from 2005-2007 ,some videos too. Thanks for the nostalgia man!

Loved this

What a great time of my life, sad RuneScape will never feel the same as when I was a child back in 06 thanks for sharing these pictures

31 and still playing RuneScape. I started playing in 2003, my first downfall was when I walked into the wilderness with all my money and all my stuff. I lost it and stopped playing but came back the next hour lol.

Man Ive been playing since 04, i gotta go through my old hard drive i have so many barrows loots, Pk's, even a back to back Armadyl hilt drop picture when coin share was in action. Great video and great memory of how the game was!

I remember running to home after school because i was so motivated to gain more levels than my friends, Looking back to this and knowing that 13 years passed is just so sad but overall the nostalgia made us all tear :') Thank you for the amazing content

To be honest you can thank youtube for removing historical videos of the OG Runescape. There were thousands of RSMV and makers too. but they all got removed and that's shame. KZfaq got big because of things like runescape BTW. Runescape was the best game people could video and put online and share clip before twitch.

I'll never forget, I used to go down in to varrock sewers to kill skeletons so I could level up. I thought the players that trained on guards were so cool, and i was immensely proud of my full steel armor set and mithril scimitar. With the og basic red cape of course.

Hi Andrew! Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the chill and relaxed, but most importantly humble approach to your videos. Please do keep the same attitude going forwards!

I miss 06. I remember sooo many people would just stand around varrock square in crowded worlds and wait for pkers to tele in. Back then damage would register through teleports so people would often die at v square and then we’d just jank their loot lol

Oh man this brings back so many amazing memories. I started playing in RS Classic.. and there’s so many things I miss in some ways I wish there was no G/E I feel like back then the game was played more as a group and not so solo... like I remember doing quests as a group haha.. I had taken tons of screen shots from back in the day but as you said computers get thrown out etc... amazing video.

The GE killed Fally Park, Varry West, and Seers' trading. God, I miss the pre-GE era of RS.

Hey man, I just wanted to say I loved this video. I don't play anymore but I still sometimes watch an OSRS video here and there. This truly was a trip down memory lane for me, and everything you described I instantly knew what you were talking about and could relate to haha. Hauling bananas for profit and fishing for lobbys on karamja, dying and losing my hard earned gear the few times I risked going into the wildy, the rich people chilling in varrock square flexing their outfits and rares. After what must have been a few years, hitting 60 def was a huge milestone for me just so i could try on a pair of dragon platelegs a friend let me borrow lol. It was a simpler time...and you're exactly right, I was just a clueless noob kid adventuring around with that iconic music playing in the background, totally immersed until someone had to use the phone (remember that dial-up? haha). Thanks for this.

First thing I did when I got membership was finally go check out the digsite area to figure out what was behind those dreaded gates.

13:10 "I was so clueless but I was having so much fun." It sounds like you knew a lot better then.

Thank you for making this.I miss it so much. also i have a few pics from 06-07 if you want. going to watch pt.2 now

Thanks for the blast from the past, cant wait for part 2

The year is 2019 and 75% of the player base are bots, 20% are gambling addicts, and the remaining 5% are us nerds living in the past.

Man this is the runescape I remember falling in love with playing. I remember playing through the summer of 05, I had my first job collecting cowhides for some guy at lummy castle lol. Looking at these pics, makes me happy, yet I feel an element of sadness. It was this community feel, playing castle wars... burthorpe games room... duel arena THEN.... damn. Runescape will never be like that. Sometimes I really think OSRS has been updated far too much, to the stage where it’s hybridscape not Truely OSRS.miss the simplicity of 05/06 :( I make plenty of money on GE today flipping but I’d gladly want to have it removed from game. I learnt my bartering skills in varrock west, and fally big bank, it captured the “market-like” feel which was appropriate for RuneScape’s setting in time (medieval). I guess we must accept that these are just a distant memory now, and the game truely was great. There will never be another quite like runescape in 05/06. Everything is too accessible now compared to the golden days. This time of RuneScape will always hold a place in my heart 🙌🏽😎💙

Jesus what a nostalgia trip, thanks for that. I might have to dig up my old computer at my parent's place to see if I have any screenshots of my own, crazy how a game can have such an impact.

Man thank you, this brought back so many memories from my 04’ 05’ days... I literally forgot how the game looked.

This brought a tear to my eye man runescape back than was my life I miss those days of just logging on with no goals now it's all about being as efficient as possible

Sad it’s gone but so happy i got to experience it , hell of a game but osrs never has and never will compare

This is so awesome man. Brought me back

Thank you both for this awesome content! So cool to see! 2007-2022 still playin! xD

When I was a kid I had like this best friend on RS who would always be on. i knew he was older than me by how he talked so i always tried to sound older but i was 8-10 so... anyway we were really cool, he even let me log into his account sometimes to help train his stats cause idk its was just cool to me to log into an account that was like 100cb (as i was only ever like 70). eventually he messaged me one day saying he had to go and that he probably wouldn't be back on for a while, when i asked him why he told me he was a sniper in the military and he had to go to war. My Dear old friend hasn't been on since. God bless your soul WarWar55 i hope you're out there somewhere.

aha, photo evidence! everyone always goes "wtf no we didnt" when i say back in the day we used to do fight caves with a crystal bow. i miss the old monster models. i was never a fan of the 2006 monster graphics update

Wow man thanks for the video. What a trip down memory lane that was.

damn, now that I'm a full fan of this channel and have seen every video, I can see why this blew up. Your voice was MADE for going over old pictures haha

I honestly had a tear fall down watching this video. So nostalgic, so beautiful, brings back so many memories

Thank you Moe! For the blast from the past and of course AndrewAJT for this. Can’t even describe the feelings of nostalgia I had especially when you spoke of being F2P and wondering what was just beyond that gate next to Dorics hut

I remember for my 12th birthday my grandmother mailed a cheque for a year membership, best year ever. 2005/06

I still have a folder with old Runescape pictures as well, albeit not 1000. The nostalgia from seeing these is just amazing. My time playing Runescape back then was seriously one of the best times of my life. The biggest reason I sucked at Runescape was because I hated trading in world 1 so much. I was a f2p for a long long time because my parents refused to use their credit card on something online and I earned my money cutting yew logs in Edgeville up to lvl 88 (joined by bots). Once I got scammed selling them in W1 and I was so incredibly sad. The first video on my channel is actually from me getting 84 woodcutting, made in Windows Movie Maker of course. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I remember farming on release day, Zezima was at the Falador park tree patch typing “buying any seeds 1k each” and I had a few I traded him. Great times.

This was so nostalgic, thanks to you and Moe for sharing, 2006 was the best year on runescape, for me atleast.

Is it weird that I recognize most of these names, that's insane, what a good video. Thanks for the nostalgia !
