Its why i dont pk anymore, i already disliked people that would prot prayers when you went in for specs, prayer flicking being meta now is too much for me.
Side note too, the value of items were so dope. Full Black D Hide being about 70K-80K, Rune Boots 200k, ancient staff 90K-100K, DDS 60K-70K, man…. I miss it.
Nothing "bad" about it. Back then we were teenagers and were playing for fun. Nowdays we are sad, depressed balding adults who only care about efficiency and spend half the time complaning about how much we hate playing the game
@@3litepker People also have a much deeper understanding of the game mechanics these days. The more people play the same game (mechanically speaking) the more tricks and strategies they figure out they can do. For instance, look at Zelda OoT or Super Mario 64. When those games came out in the 90s, people were just taking baby steps to figure out how to get through the game. Nowadays, speed runners are showcasing all of the insane things their communities have figured out from several decades of playing this game and developing a deeper understanding of the mechanics. To OP's point, they were "bad", compared to today's standards. They didn't know jack about the game compared to what we know now. It's also pretty cool to see how far the game as come, it's not depressing or sad.
Lastly, using overheads back then was a big no no. Simply because like you said… we were all children. We wanted to be accepted and not “NH” (no honor) See what growing up does to the soul?
My biggest lifes regret is deleting my pk montages from 2007-2009 off my RUclips channel.... 20 year old me thought it was an embarrassment to my channel. Now I'd do anything to watch them again lmao
Dude I literally did the exact same thing what the hell, now I wouldn't even care. I just want those old videos back. There used to be a way to recover them but nope it's gone forever.
Those were the days you didn't even have to know how to fight you just had to bring almost a full inv of food and you would win because they would bring bad food or fill their inv with random trash. I also remember the people drop trading in lumbridge castle towers then you would just spy on them and yoink it all lmao.
You could literally start a brand new account, go to world 1, mule 1k lobbies, rune and/or arrows and hit up varrock edge wild and you could pk non stop until you were a high enough level to justify going members and doing it all over again. There was ALWAYS someone your level at level 1 wild and if for some crazy reason there wasn’t you just headed towards chaos temple on the opposite side of the lava river and youd find more in multi.
@FormerGovernmentHuman mannnnnn I used to do this SO MUCH when I was a kid. I seriously had like 7 accounts because whenever one got too high combat I would just make a fresh one. You could be mage pking on a fresh account in like 20 minutes
this is legendary, I miss these days, the music, the everything. Id sit inside the whole summer while all my friends would be running in and out of my house, I miss these days! and my dad!
I still remember when whips first came out. High slayer people kept it a secret and the first ones sold for 100-200mil. Then when it hit the public they were 23mil. I found a dude at green dragons with one and i dance emoted- glitch with the maul spec and boom the whip was mine. Great memories. I havent played in a very long time but still have the fond memories of edgeville pking.
i remember saving up for a whip at chaos druids for approximately 2 weeks. i think it was like 5m at that point. only to be disappointed af after i found out you couldn't train str with it lol.
Oda going back in time to PK then would be the equivalent of giving the Romans the means and ability to use a fighter jet thousands of years ago while everyone else was still on horseback.
oda with his skill set would deff be banned for "botting/hacking" due to how bad people were and even jagex would prob doubt that being possible. it would be like someone from the stone age with a club going into a fight with a tank, at long range, its just not conceivable for peoples minds how to even tic manipulate back then
Clan Wars was fking legendary for the F2P community. There was literally no reason for me to go members back then because clan wars was the funnest thing in the game.
That used to be a bug where if you clicked more than once you would rubberband. That’s what the last clip guy in rune was gettin fk’d by when panicking
For those who dont know, Tanksta was a semi-famous pker in the community at the time, known for his high stat pure accounts and high level main. He was also rich as fuck, boasting p hats and other rares. He has some pking vids where he is pking with phats, which today it'd be equivalent to pking with 10B risk. (phats where about 2kusd at this time)
6:20 you got to remember this was when there were no fkeys, PCs were slow as fuck, poor internet connection, no gaming mice, most people back then having no knowledge of DPI settings in windows, virtually no pking guides available and the average player being so poor they would rather bring cakes and cabbages to the wilderness than a full inventory of sharks + Pray pots because they were so expensive.
I miss walking around the wild for hours finding the most random players. All kills were a mystery box. Lots of people kept their cash stack on them. Thats why Jagex made coin pouch
This is crazy nostalgic. Back then no one could use a mystic top with a abby whip, the top would prot over it, and you could bring 3 noted dragon battle axes noted to bait whip pkers into losing their +1 lol
@Ownagin classic rs moment. Pre GE I decided to buy Big Bones and train prayer. Was outside Varrock West Bank spamming away. Someone traded me 100 regular bones after showing me 100 Big Bones in trade a couple times. Such a lame scam but he got me 😅

Oda whats crazy is back then getting a ancient staff smite was like smiting a toxic staff of the dead today. Pure dopamine. Back when it was smites only and if sum1 use protection prayer for even 1 hit they were called a p00sy. And every1 didnt fight u lmao
Tanksta became famous for risking a lot while pking. That's one of the few videos I've seen where he risks nothing. He has videos risking phats and masks in edge back when they were worth a fuck load. And they were actually rare. He didn't get famous due to his skill at pking. But the value he risked while pking, as a pure.
Not sure about S tier at that point anymore 😄 The biggest differences for pking was of course the F keys, the fact that you stopped attacking whenever changing a prayer or even attack style. Got a few videos from this time myself if you want to see how the high level mb pking used to be in 07 pre piety (warning, you may cringe)
I have been pking on Runescape since 2004. I have videos on it and I also pked with Kids Ranqe back when he had his own clan. I used the account 6th Outlaw until I gave it to some random on IRC back in the day.
The music is literally perfect. Lol..Those were the days, overheads was frowned upon, d chain was 20-30mill, whip was the melee meta plus your special weapon. Even the bots weren't as annoying as they are now unless you were trying to woodcut.
nobody knew the rules or mechanics so everybody did what felt cool instead of trying to minmax the amount of cooperation in old RS was insane: flax & essence runners, mining & woodcutting _companies_, boss rush, etc my fondest memory was early 2006 when I had Legend's Quest completed and I had the highly coveted legends cape (no sq shield) and to see a cape of that colour and form was baller and everyone wanted to know where to get one, that was until the wildi and obsidian and fire capes came out I was on top of the world...briefly
@@Carl-hs420a Yea, back then everyone communicated. There was no solo play. Ironman would've been detested back then as a game mode. Times have changed man
this video really doesnt show much, on any given day, any given time, almost any given world, the wild by edge was PACKED. Not 3-4-5-6 people standing around each other. Literally, packed to the wild castle in like lvl 8-12 :(
Oh my god I laughed so hard at the terrible path mapping back then! That running back and forth is what used to happed if you tried to spam click to walk/run somewhere and people used to get so frustrated that they werent moving they would continue to spam click 😂🏃↔️
the best thing is the runecrafters stopping to watch the fights, there was much less of a divide between pkers and pvmers/skillers back then. Pking was kinda the endgame for most people
This was 2005, and if any of you had played back then you'd know that. PKing was at its most balanced point, too, because the only way you were getting stacked out was with a gmaul rush. Made it about game knowledge and resource management rather than mechanical skill, and I miss it. 2006 is when that went out the window, because we had lunars, void, dbow, and 1h crossbows added. Got further out of hand in 2007 with the addition of ags. Too many ways to just 100-0 people, and it drove people like me away from the wilderness.
Man, I remember trying to PK back then without ancients and as a non-pure and never getting a single kill, ever. For the record, I’m still horrendous, even on my rich pure
i remember the days of no prayers. back then we would only use two styles most of the time, mage and melee was the go to, switching to different tank gear was our defense. honor hybridding was so fun. you OSRS famous lot should start doing some no overheads fights on mains, bring it back for us old heads! i think you'd like it anyway, takes away the lack of hits main fighting suffers from these days
Thats what was so cool about early gaming... no one knew wtf we were doing and that was part of the fun. Compared to now where there is a professional everything.
Back then, if you were fighting an opponent higher level than you, and you werent both wearing different team capes, you had to right click to attack them. Combined with no f keys, if you wanted to dds spec after a whip hit, you didn't have time to see what your whip hit. There were no xp drops. So it was either a blind whip hit into a right click attack dds spec, or you poked with dds once before speccing. It was horrendously bad 😂
Yo search for skullator. That dude was legit years ahead of his time. He was gear switching and prayer switching back in 2005/2006 when people were like casting saradomin strike in full mystic letting you hit them, no second style or anything.
Less power creep and fewer options just made the game simpler. The skill ceiling really wasn't that high, which is one of the reasons why PKing was popular. It was accessible. These days there's just so much going on that the average player really has no clue what's going on half of the time.
11:40 oh, god, this was a thing back in the day that took way too long to fix. If you spam click somewhere to walk/run, your character would go back and forth.

this video really doesnt show much, on any given day, any given time, almost any given world, the wild by edge was PACKED. Not 3-4-5-6 people standing around each other. Literally, packed to the wild castle in like lvl 8-12 :(
Oh my god I laughed so hard at the terrible path mapping back then! That running back and forth is what used to happed if you tried to spam click to walk/run somewhere and people used to get so frustrated that they werent moving they would continue to spam click 😂🏃↔️
man that vintage lil wayne is disturbingly nostalgic.
Ŵhats the name of it
this era will come back when we're all 80 years old in the retirement home with all of us shit at the game again
the best thing is the runecrafters stopping to watch the fights, there was much less of a divide between pkers and pvmers/skillers back then. Pking was kinda the endgame for most people
Even funnier with rhe commentary :D
Oda, you should react to "i mahatma i" pk videos. Those were quite good.
This was 2005, and if any of you had played back then you'd know that. PKing was at its most balanced point, too, because the only way you were getting stacked out was with a gmaul rush. Made it about game knowledge and resource management rather than mechanical skill, and I miss it.
2006 is when that went out the window, because we had lunars, void, dbow, and 1h crossbows added. Got further out of hand in 2007 with the addition of ags. Too many ways to just 100-0 people, and it drove people like me away from the wilderness.
I miss these days. The only thing that mattered was who had the better stats and better gear.
Pk'd from 2002 as an 11 YO kid. It was the best times.
I remember first time ever going to pk with my full Addy, i lost it and were pissed as hell !
@@bamf6603 cried when i lost my rune chainbody, platelegs and full helm in east varrock multi LOOOOOOOL
@@badcaseofstripes ye Fr i dont know why but that spot was the only place i knew pkers would be
Man, I remember trying to PK back then without ancients and as a non-pure and never getting a single kill, ever. For the record, I’m still horrendous, even on my rich pure
@1:18 OMG HES SLINGING IT, EVEN 17 YEARS AGO THEY WERE SLINGING IT LMFAOOOO
I’m not sure why that comes off as a surprise. Kids be immature af no matter what time or era
@@freetorv3sta155it doesnt lmao, shit was just funny
i remember the days of no prayers. back then we would only use two styles most of the time, mage and melee was the go to, switching to different tank gear was our defense. honor hybridding was so fun. you OSRS famous lot should start doing some no overheads fights on mains, bring it back for us old heads! i think you'd like it anyway, takes away the lack of hits main fighting suffers from these days
No prayers was the golden age. But tbh, you can't do no prayers anymore because max hit is 70+ You would die in 2 hits easily
nothing brings back more memories that videos like these!!!
Thats what was so cool about early gaming... no one knew wtf we were doing and that was part of the fun. Compared to now where there is a professional everything.
Golden era. I Mahatma I, Kids Ranqe
the music in this vid is fire haha, thats the most telling thing about it being 2006 honestly ahhahah
yo ban this guy he scammed me out of thousands of runebucks
@@cashboii_ sit down ziggy
p00ned is actually hilarious
Pwn3d n00b!
This and pre eoc was PEAK runescaape tbh
Yeah storm of armadyl polypore etc. Were also the days.
@@v380riMz Dude I had forgotten about polypore. You are taking me back.
When Claws came out, pvp was at its peak
Considering most pkers had very very limited knowledge about pking back then, that it actually took a decent amount of skill to be the best.
3:25 NAHHHHH the movement here is sending me LMFAOOOO
Back then, if you were fighting an opponent higher level than you, and you werent both wearing different team capes, you had to right click to attack them. Combined with no f keys, if you wanted to dds spec after a whip hit, you didn't have time to see what your whip hit. There were no xp drops. So it was either a blind whip hit into a right click attack dds spec, or you poked with dds once before speccing. It was horrendously bad 😂
Yo search for skullator. That dude was legit years ahead of his time. He was gear switching and prayer switching back in 2005/2006 when people were like casting saradomin strike in full mystic letting you hit them, no second style or anything.
It was amazing and the weezy just makes everything even better
Damn this was a good video, thanks for the memories O
Less power creep and fewer options just made the game simpler. The skill ceiling really wasn't that high, which is one of the reasons why PKing was popular. It was accessible. These days there's just so much going on that the average player really has no clue what's going on half of the time.
Back then I never got into pking because I still felt like too much was going on lmao. Man I was dumb.
lol, dude using Smite and being called ''Prayer noob'' classic 😂😂😂
I forget this was when we were teens. True nostalgia
Honestly looks more fun than most of your recent pk vids oda xD less adhd spam clicking while holding your glasses
used to watch all the legends back in the day, Tanksta, I Mahatma I, Kids Ranqe, I Str3ngthz I.....I miss those days so bad.
to be fair he was using his keyboard to control camera and not using F keys. Respect
11:40 oh, god, this was a thing back in the day that took way too long to fix. If you spam click somewhere to walk/run, your character would go back and forth.
man do i miss these days =(** such a great time everything was simple came home from school and played my favorite game... badly
