>ywn trap a merchant account into the rune shop with the mugger again
>ywn scam another kid out of his account again
old runescape was like the wild west, shit was so cash. My friend and I literally mained some kid's account for like 2 years because he had it on auto-enroll and was probably too scared to tell his mom some asshole scammed him out of his password and recovery info. He finally must've told her at some point because we got banned eventually, but it was a good run. some of my best vidya experiences were runescape.

no, stop

I hate how sanitized MMOs have gotten. You can't scam people in game, you can't trick people into going to PVP zones, you can't even manipulate the ingame market.

Being a crafty Jew was the absolute best part of Runescape

Yeah, exactly. that's what was magical about the game, that it was a legitimate community with shady parts and crafty jewery included. Scamming was my best source of income before I stole that kid's member account, I'd get the password, change it before they logged out, then ask them to log out and log back in (I ran a fake jagex lottery scam), and when they logged out I'd get on their account and drop all their shit off in an abandoned house where I had my main account waiting for the pickup.

sanitized is a good word for current mmo's... that shit would never happen today. I have only heard stories of the original ultima online but apparently shit was even wilder, and everyone has fond memories of it. Today? Nobody is going to remember these mmo's where you can't do anything freely. truly a testament to free online community gameplay that people are STILL making threads about a game like runescape

Everything is automated for convenience but it also means that games are never going to have any sort of community like they once did. You never have a reason to interact with other human beings, you might as well be playing a game alongside 800 bots.

When i was young I got tricked that runescape could only be played at a certain internet cafe, i spent dollars after dollars playing it there.

I might have not got far in the game, but i remember sneaking myself aboard a ship in a crate of bananas, fighting a vampire lord with garlic and that proud moment when i received my first full rune set.

Is that old version of runescape still a thing? I heard there was some old runescape still running somewhere. Is it populated? Any good? Nostalgia hitting hard right now.

It's bigger then it's ever been, 50k players atm

>semitic cockroaches reminiscing about the joys of scamming children
Gas yourself.

What did you get scammed out of? How many times?

>You have to have been scammed to detest taking advantage of someone else
Gas yourself.

sounds like someone got scammed

it is a shell of what it used to be and 50k is peak times counting bots. No world is ever full. Try it just for a bitter sweet nostalgia trip.

Is it really that bad? I wanted to get into it again because I have some free time in college this semester

I'm pretty sure Sup Forums has a server up vscape.wikidot.com/

I never scammed but can respect that it was part of what made runescape special to me.

>Tricked into going into wild and dying
>Tricked into grabbing the wine

Its like when someone gave me a frog mask on endless online, and then when I put it on it was stuck. This kind of thing is fantastic, it taught me lessons about trusting people on the internet. It made me skeptical of people's intent and made the authentic friendships more special because you were taking risks in a place where scamming was common.

We had this thread yesterday didn't we.

Also RS3 Hardcore Ironman is pretty fucking fun desu. It's like all the benefits of the quality of life, more content, and more interesting gameplay. Without the microtransactions and other bullshit.

Luring someone into the wilderness and scamming someone into giving up their password so you could steal their account are two entirely different things. One is simply preying on those two lazy to read anything at all, and the other is on the same level as malicious advertisements.

>runescape
Why would you play this instead of Starcraft? Diablo 2? Everquest? FFXI?

Never understood Runecucks.

Well, those are the numbers. The game has been techniclly improved. It is still just shadow of what it once was. I tried it but the magic was gone. Runescape just doesnt attract new people so it is bound to die inevitably.

It's unique and nobody has challenged their niche.

Comparing RS to those games is retarded.

>Never understood Runecucks

You got that right. You will never know what it was like.

You should try rs3 my man. Relearning the game was fun for me, retreading old school was not.

It's sort of like an endless game of D&D

I still play the game (RS3) and I'm really glad they removed IceBarrage2win.

>runescape
>miniclip
what?

I was playing d2 LOD and someone told me about it in my clan's chat channel. we all picked it up together and made tens of thousands of gold (lel) doing dumb shit like mining exclusively tin and selling it.

they had to PM gms for help.

Back in the day you could play runescape through miniclip, strangely enough

That's where I discovered it

>All that time I wasted in ardougne market getting lvl 99 theif

those small shards were awesome because the had tight communities.

People always complain about pvp (wah its not balanced so its not fun) or scams in MMORPGs but if I can't get together with my friends to form a gang of ruthless, cutthroat marauders then the game doesn't fulfill the RPG aspect that well.

>he didnt jew out at tutorial island and fill his inventory with as many bronze daggers as possible
I pity you guys for not having that sweet extra cash

That shit was expensive yo, mining and fishing with some questing inbetween was the real deal.

>waking up in the middle of the night to get on the family computer because you were grounded

Leveling magic still wasn't as bad as leveling smithing FUCKING IMPURITIES

>>you will never feel the pure joy you felt when you're mom agreed to buy you membership again
My parents never bought me membership because they were paranoid that using the credit card online would instantly grant someone access to it and they'd lose all their money immediately.

Instead I would take 7 dollars out of my $20 a month allowance and literally mail it into jagex for a month of membership. I would tell my parents that I was mailing letters to my grandma. It would take like 8 to 10 days to actually receive my membership, and it was never guaranteed that they would actually get my money.

Holy fuck that was autistic thinking back on it, I can just imagine some employee at jagex opening a letter with nearly illegible handwriting written by a 10 year old containing 7 crumpled 1 dollar bills and sometimes a few dollars in all change.

Makes me nostalgic desu

>mfw i started out with 2000 bronze arrows and a shit ton of swords to sell

dont they just give you the standard 25 arrows, 1 sword, 1 shield regardless? I remember trying to do that with runes and I got fucked over

>I feel like I missed out on a lot of fun by being autistic as shit about following all rules to the letter

you did

Part of the fun of runescape was being a skeevy degenerate and breaking all the runes

Not when I played it, you could grind that shit forever

In theory you could make a million gp if you just sat your ass there and grinded bronze arrows for eternity

>ywn have a gf again

>reeee i can't literally steal from people reeeeeeeeeeee
You have the mindset of a criminal so it's unsurprising why you don't understand what makes people want police.

Jesus fucking christ dude you just blasted me back

>tfw had a 2 hour a day limit on video games

I used to go to a card shop down the street from my house that had a few computers open to play whatever games you wanted.

I spent all day there basically every weekend just playing runescape. I got to know one of the employees there really well and he'd let me play in the store for free, he also gave me a whip. I also met some of my best childhood friends at that store

Fuck me dude, fuck getting old. This thread is killing me

Why
Why does it call to me so. Like an old spirit, trying to pull me back through a film I can press firmly against, but never pass. It doesn't hurt, but the great emptiness I feel in my chest when reflecting on it is very draining.

>be a kid back in the glory days of RS
>friend who's a member insists that members can have cats
>write him off as a bullshitter because he was "that kid"

...

The quest to get more features for your cat (names and such if I recall) was absolute bullshit, though.
Fuck stealth missions.

Nice

>I always traded fairly
>I never figured out how to "Merchant"

Jagex are hypocrites same as Blizz

Guild wars in it's prime and runescape were the best vidya times.

>tell him I scammed him and felt bad and he can have his stuff back
>he reports me anyway and I get banned
Friggin douche I tried to do the right thing. Only time that ever worked too. Pan handling doing dances and cape tricks at the grand exchange actually netted me a fair sum and made for fun times.

>you will never mine and mine and smith and smith until you are the best miner and smith in the world

Man, I had fucking 85 mining before I dropped the game and I never thought I'll get the urge to play it again so I didn't give a fuck that my old account was hacked and ultimately banned for botting. And I can't believe bots are still such a huge problem in this game. Like, I started playing again recently and simply not responding to someone's stupid question makes you a bot and you potentially get reported and everyone is just ''bot this, bot that''. Fuck. I just wanna be the best miner ever.

we were kids with shitty computers and parents who wouldn't let us play M games

>Those two fags that would follow each other so they got stuck in circling animation

>ywn do this with your rsgf ever again

fuck

Sup Forumsscape was only fun for the first few months, wheh glitches were everywhere. Made it a fun experience.

Who /nevertrainedranged/ here?

I didn't for awhile but ranged becomes extremely useful in boss fights since you can usually get them stuck behind shit

>go to drop party next to where the demons layer quest was.

>I get instant out to the demon slayer quest area.

That is the story of how I made my first 100k

>tfw you never even got a 99

Is 2007 worth starting?

I haven't played RuneScape since 2012ish

yes

no, accept it user. That time is past.

Someone hasn't played EVE

>minding your own business
>someone runs up to you
>"noob"
>runs away

The victim still comes out with the same lesson learned, one just more severe. I think they're about the same. You literally have to be a stupid fucking child to give someone your credentials. Its better they learn this now with their Runescape account than with their fucking bank account.

this

same thing with gambling in the game

Back when dicing was super popular around 2010-2011 I got addicted as fuck to it. I was like 16 and by the end of it I lost ~600m.

So glad I discovered how fucking retarded gambling was through runescape and not in an actual casino
