I remember when i first heard about runescape was when the prince ali rescue quest was released....i remember it was a "player idea" i dont remember his name, or i would have noted it. I also remember when there was 3 servers, maybe 2, i cant distinguish it in my head right now. But i significantly remember playing when the dragon slayer quest was released, because i was an owner with my 40k addy plate
i also remember pking and dieing...it was so bs too, i was in my full addy...with rune long...which back then...you needed some cash for. i somehow managed to get a rune ore through a big trade and it meant the world to me, and i traded it for that long. then i went to wild, with my new blue cape...only for the heroes. and it just so happened that there was another person with the same exact outfit...and you cant tell whos who.
and when it comes to wild, i remember every rich person had a lvl 3-14 with full rune* in lvl 1 varrock wild. which i thought was pointless, but there were no requirements yet, so it showed superiority.
I also remember the first official forums...where my first post happened to be "where can i get an autominer?" because i just started to mine coal to get the big bucks. unfortunatly, the only response i got was from a noob who wanted 3k and hed tell me where to get one, i only had like 19k which was a bunch to me. so i withdrew my full addy, and was going to show him i wasnt a noob, then walking through barb vill i see his green dot on my map....then teled to black hole with moderator in full blk with red cape...
i didnt get banned, but we both died

me losing all my addy and money. thats also the first time i quit.
in the splat wedding pics, im the noob girl in the blue top, brown hair, white pants.
and there used to be a web archive, i think it was web.archive.com or something, with a way back machine...yeah but i think runescape got taken off of it due to jagex concern or something...but i used to go there and surf through the hiscores and whatnot.
EDIT: found a bit of runenews, but cant get to runescape
THE WAYBACK MACHINE EXAMPLE FOR RUNENEWS!and a little from the fansite that ive always used till recently
RunescapeHallthats all from me for now...but ive been playing for about 4+ years
