I remember standing in the goblin hut in Lumbridge for hours picking up the five coin loot and the iron daggers, then walking up to the sword shop in Varrock to sell my hard-fought loot to get my cash stack up to 1000 coins. Every once in a while I’ll go into that shop to look at the swords, it brings back all the memories. That shop window is iconic!

I started playing Runescape in June of 2004. My friend came over and said he wanted to show me a game on my computer. Ever since I've been hooked. By far the best game I've ever played.

Same for me except I found it on Miniclip. I thought it would just be another little weekly game or whatever then I’d drop it and see what else is out there. Little did I know that it would absolutely blow me away and hook me. And here I am 20 years later.

I sometimes think back to when I first started and the joy it brought me crafting my own gear. I recall smelting my own bronze bars and making my own gear. There isn't a much smaller upgrade than making your own bronze med helm, but the fact I made it myself made 7 year old me very happy.

I love the montage of all the before/after pictures. I hardly remember what any of them looked like, but it's why there are so many seemingly pointless walls everywhere, many of which were used as temporary world borders. I remember being so curious what'd be past the broken Canifis bridge and northern Seers bridges. They're even doing it to this day with the remaining sections of Varlamore!

I was actively playing the game during this year and I remember trying out all of the updates when they first came out. This was a wonderful walk down memory lane. My favorite memory of that year is for Priest in Peril. So many people were in the room trying to kill the guardian dog that you couldn't see the dog at all. I actually had no idea what he looked like for years after completing the quest. People were also selling buckets, ropes, etc. at the quest area for super high prices to save a walk.

Great Video! I'd love a video like this for Classic as well. 2003 in particular has one of the most obscure little glitches. When they released the murder mystery quest and the Sinclair mansion, they accidentally tagged that area as free players. Meaning in just that little square you could log into a free to play server. You couldn't do much since member features were still locked, but it was really cool nonetheless.

What a nostalgia trip, thanks for making this vid - would love to see it continue to later years! I have vivid memories of getting up in the wee hours of the morning, before my parents got up, and turning on the dial-up internet to play RS2. I spent so many hours fishing lobsters in Karamja, using them to train on lesser demons in the volcano, then repeating the cycle. Remember being psyched when I made enough gp to afford full addy (g).

The bridge leading to the Wizard's Tower! The bridge used to have a right turn before leading to the tower itself, and eventually was changed to just a straight bridge. Not sure why they had initially decided to go for that design but it's one of those things I found interesting before it got changed.

Actually one time that is popping in my head as i write this is when i got level 70 atk. It was after construction came out, fought someone in their poh fighting ring until i got the level and we celebrated. (even tho i had nowhere near enough money to buy the whip) another good time is when my irl buddy who got me into the game traded me an addy sword and mithril armour in order to do melzars maze and finish dragon slayer hahah
