A moment of silence for those friends you met online who would spare you with sweet cool items. Who carried you through a small journey that meant the world to you. For those friends who would stay up past 3am just to mine that iron ore with you. For the friends that made you feel comfortable enough to talk about your tough days in middle school. A moment of silence for the ones that logged off forever ... Amen
@@BraveCat9927 exactly. and people generally weren't competitive. they would even congratulate each other's achievements. I love this game and its community so much back in the days.
Happiest years of my life. When I was finally able to convince my mom to pay 5$ a month for members, I would wake up 2 hours before school just to play. And nothing else in my life has motivated me to wake up early
I think that's why i like mornings so much. Looking forward to something was so magical. The sky was so blue and fresh in the morning, perfect weather for osrs c;
That was one of those moments where you felt like a god, walking around a free server with that Elemental Shield and being followed and begged for gold even though you had like 5k but that shield... It was a symbol of your status as a higher being.
In 2006 I met a friend on RS, we stayed friends until around 08. We talked every day on RS, did so many quests, PKing, and mini games. One day he just logged off and never got back on. I seriously assumed he died irl, and I would never get to talk to him again😅. Stopped playing for 10 years. I got back into OSRS mobile last year and decided to randomly add his old username to my friends list, and he was online. It was actually him.. I couldn't believe it, we remembered everything, and talked for hours.
I 100 percent believe it because I Had the very same thing happen as well. It was about 12 years in between but it was the exact same scenario. It probably happens more often than you’d think. We both came back specifically because 07 returned
The nostalgia is almost painful. I miss these times. When nothing else mattered then getting a 99 cape and feeling so cool. When logging on after school felt like freedom. update 1 year later- still listen to this while studying, just found out I have an interview for my dream radiology program! Thank you to runescape music to help me focus. One more update- I have been accepted into my dream school for radiology! Will still listen to this to help me! Jan 2023- I am about to enter my 3rd semester of radiology school! Doing well so far! Thank you for all the nice comments! I hope everyone is getting to reach their goals this year! August 2023- I'm 9 months away from graduating! Can't wait for my 99 radiology cape (if only there was such a thing). I love reading your comments! Feb 2024- 3 more months until 99 radiology!! I enjoyed the winter event while on break but back to the 99 radiology grind! May 2024- What's up guys!! Tomorrow is my last day of radiology school. It's insane how fast time flew and hard my program was. But I'm so excited to be done and I have been studying for my board exam that is in a few weeks along with my graduation on May 24th. Thank you for your comments and heres to 99 Radiology!! **I passed my boards! December 2024- possibility my last update. I ended up going to CT school and completed it and passed my CT boards a few weeks ago! Hears to 99 CT scan!!
When I was a kid I used to dress up as a priest and hide out in the southern varrock church (the one you need to go to unlock the abyss runecrafting minigame) and whenever a player would walk in to explore or to recharge their prayer points, I would ask them to confess their sins to me. Most people were rude or ignored me, but one time this guy walks in with full rune which was a big deal back then, at least to 12 year old me it was, and we got to talking. I asked him the usual priest stuff, I guess I had a thing for role playing even back then, and he confided in me that the worst thing he had done was to scam one of his class mates out of full rune (the set he was wearing) because he told his friend at school that he could trim it gold for him. I know priests aren't really supposed to tell you to set it right, they're more there to be an outlet for the stuff that's weighing you down and to absolve you of those feelings (I don't know, never spent so much as a day inside real church or ever been in person with an actual priest.) But I couldn't help myself and told the guy that he should give it back, because that rune set is just pixels in a game, but friendships are real and precious and by burning that bridge between his friend he's only causing his own suffering. With all my 12 year old wisdom I somehow managed to convince him to give the rune set back to his friend. At least that's what he said he would do, I added him but he never logged back in again. I still wonder if he really did give it back or if his friend told his mom who told the scammers mom and then he got grounded off of the game for life or something lol. I sometimes remember that kid and lie awake at night thinking about it, it's such a weird interaction to have inside of a video game but it happened, and the fact I'll probably never get closure on the outcome is what really annoys me. Oh well, OSRS music kicks ass at least!
Be at peace knowing that you actually caused him to open up to you and contemplate giving back the stuff. Even if he did or didn't..you helped him stop for atleast a moment, and consider the consequences of his actions. Whether you are a believer or not, you showed kindness. You don't have to be over-religious to be "human". Thank you for being human even at the young age of 12
should be top comment!. Awesome anecdote, you roleplayed Runescape there like a real RPG or an hybrid of MMO-RPG and real life , and its super inspiring! I myself want to be a priest (in real life) and your thoughts about a priest's role are very wise
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. For those of you I might have fished lobs in Karamja with, those who I pked with and fought against and swore at as an immature child. Thank you all for making this experience real. Love u all.
U reminded I fished for lobbies in karamja and I poked with a team called cd...critical damage back then was called, there were so many pking back then was unreal the clans were so many that if they met the screen used to be filled with piers just running around was funny and exciting at the same time
Just graduated college and got a job. I miss the days when I was blissfully unaware of everything and just playing this. Now the world is under a pandemic as I enter the working world. Never knew how much I would cherish those days.
Back when we could play a game for months and make no progress. Repeating the same tasks blissfully to grind that one level, exceited what happens after 2 and fighting goblins until we can finally fight a scorpion and mine the ores in the desert in peace. I miss those days.
I would never have thought that young 12 year old me would at the age of 27 intentionally seek out the soundtracks of RuneScape just for a massive hit of nostalgia, but here I am. The times were good, being a child playing RuneScape in the golden year of 2006 was a magical experience.
Literally in the exact same shoes. Started playing sometime in 2006 until around 2009-2010. Currently 27. I heard a song called Magical Fantasy by Dmitriy Sevostyanov and I really thought it was an OSRS track. I don’t think it was, but I wanted the nostalgia to continue, so here I am 😅😂
I'll say it OSRS might have the greatest soundtrack in gaming history at the very least top 5. Every song and you instantly knew where you are and every song brings back certain memories. Only a small handful of gaming soundtracks have that power
Oh all the adventures. I remember my first time purchasing membership with my mom, it took me a whole week to convince her, after that she finally made a bank transfer to jagex because at that time, that was the only way for us to pay from my almost third world country. It took three days for the payment to go through, and even though it is now 15 years later, I still remember that very day where I logged into Runescape and saw for the first time that I have 30 days of membership available. It was at night just before bedtime, but I was so happy and my mom was so happy seeing me so happy that she allowed me to stay up later and play for longer. She probably regretted that decision later because she found me wide awake at 3am in the morning, wandering around the Al-kharid desert, trying to figure out why the crocodile will not die! (you need a special slayer item) Good times! Thank you to everyonone on this game, thank you for teaching me how to speak english, how to make good friends and how to learn from my mistakes from being scammed. Hare Krishna :)
I remember downloading SwiftSwitch client to be able to switch worlds way easier. Or just changing the number in the URL at the top to get to the full worlds login page.
Same dude I’ve played this game since I was roughly 11 so about 16 years ago I found this game. I rarely play, I pay for membership every month just Incase I want to get on and walk around or bank stand.
Every now and then, i just come here and cry my heart out, even now, when im in a pretty good place in life, i just cant help but cry my heart out, back when i didnt have responsibilities, when i didnt care how others looked at my body, didnt think about what im going to study in college, didnt think about a job and saving money, when my and my friends would play for hours, pull all nighters, and would talk about these games everyday, its kinda sad.. Wish everyone who reads this the best in life, although these days were amazing, dont forget to make the best out of the present too
Me af. Typing this from my government job as I randomly decided to pop this playlist in my ear while I hash out some reports. Reading the comments is making my memories flood back. I'm so thankful for RuneScape. It genuinely was such a good time to be alive.
One of the main reasons I learned English, because looking at a tree, hovering over it and the cursor saying "tree" made me realize what it means in english. Great, nostalgic memories, I'm very glad I had a parent who would be giving me the money to try it out. A few years of my teenage years well spent
1:54:44 I remember coming home from school to $20 on the table for me and my brother for getting good grades in middle school. We both bought member ship and some snacks to eat while we played. I look back on those days and realize that In just 11 years so much changed.... Rest In Peace mom and dad..... The little things in life like that $20 changed my taste in games. Being able to buy stupid items from the GE just because I had membership and exploring the map. Such fond memories.
Ibrahima SOW I’m 23 now... this was back when I was 12..... how times fly. I’m glad rs 007 is still a piece of nostalgia I can go back to when I need to escape my daily stress
Yeah.. I hope you're doing okay now. I also hope you and your brother keep in touch and use runescape as a means to stay connected. So sorry to hear what happened.
I hope so. I also hope there will be more games like this we'll even be able to share with our kids. Better things can and will still come, i reckon c:
I don't know how old you are, but I'm 31, and I remember feeling that way in my 20's. It gets better. You eventually learn that there's no point in thinking about that. Just focus on the future.
I prepared a speech for my parents about why I deserved a year of membership. They paid $5 a month for what became one of the most memorable games ever.
Nothing will ever beat staying up until 4am playing this game, back when I was starting high school in 2004-2005, now Im about to be 30! Jesus time flys man, RuneScape wasn't a game it was an EXPERIENCE, today's kids don't even know, forget fortnite this is where my Saturday nights went 😭
I really want to see OSRS to be flooded with new child players as if its a new fad like fortnite. To the point where the seasoned players are outnumbered 99-1. You would see the old times come back real fast, the simplicity and stupidity. And at least they would become a bit smarter (Increasing vocabulary, learning names of lesser known real life objects, learning the processes of resource production and refining, learning the dangers of gambling, learning supply and demand) much better than the mindless shit kids play nowadays.
Imagine it’s a Saturday morning on a cold snowy day You’re up at 6 am to wake up before your parents the house is quiet Snow is falling Osrs music plying quietly Don’t be sad it’s gone people just be glad that it happened ❤️
Take me back to this game when it wasn’t just about “BiS this, tick x, efficiency is everything”, and just about having fun and making your own adventure
Yeah i hate the new attitude towards RS now too. I don't let it change things tho. I still chill and afk most things. I do weird tasks. I skill in weird places doing weird things. I try to do every possible action in the game at least once. Really gives the game a new feeling to it
These soundtracks always manage to calm me down when I’m feeling stressed out and weighed down by life. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. When you’re younger you never realize that things will change, and they’ll continue to change often. Before you know it your 5,10, then 15 years older and everyone you used to spend time with is gone. Parents you saw daily get divorced seeing dad on the weekends turns into a few times a year. Friends get busy and distant and before you know it you realize people you used to call your best friends don’t even know you anymore. Everyone moves, works a different schedule, or becomes unavailable after starting a family. My older cousin used to try and explain to me that time goes faster the older you get and I never did believe him until now. Eventually you settle in a place with a consistent schedule. Day in and day out is mostly the same it’s difficult to remember what you did last week because life becomes auto pilot. I will forever cherish my childhood memories and I’m thankful that this video can bring so many of those to the surface. It’s crazy how a sound or smell can really wake you up momentarily.
My most favourite of all the soundtracks is "Forever" 1:04:33 As I recall its the track that plays when you approching/in edgeville. It creates an eerie feeling as your on the edge of the wilderness, knowing that if you cross that line anything could happen.
I have so much anxiety in my head for no good reason at all. I cannot sleep anymore. I am restless. These videos used to bring me in that other world that I remember from what is it 15 years ago. But even this doesn't work anymore. I don't know if I will be around for much longer but I'd like to say thanks to everyone who played this game all those years ago. It truly felt like another world because you knew during in real life, life in RuneScape kept going on too; people were trading, making money, getting xp. Thank you everyone for playing
every time i click on this video, for most of these songs, it's like i'm intstanly transported back to my 12-year-old self in 2005 when i first discovered RunesScape. Back then, as a kid, it was like magic, like going into another world, when logging into this game. I swear a-lot of the boys in my town played it. Even in church, an older boy sitting next to me, passed me a note asking If i played RS. Cheers SirJordan38. Now, we've all moved in our lives.
I remember when I was in middle School and when my best friend convinced his dad to buy him a membership back then it used to be just $5 a month, after he got his membership I had to layout a complete blueprint to make my dad buy one for me and finally when he did I was so excited to open the locked gates to tavelry, that gate was always a mystery to me when I used to be f2p. I thought there were dragons and huge demons hiding inside talverly haha.. also this was from 2008 time , I know most of you are really old players but for me this is my nostalgic dream. The memories... It hurts knowing that those days are never coming back again. Thank you jagex for everything you've done for us, from learning how to type fast , problem solving, meeting amazing new people and to financial management. This game made me realize that whatever you do, do what you love! Thank you!
So many core memories unlocked. I still pop on RuneScape every once in a while for nostalgia but mostly to maintain and old account a friend and I had shared. That friend has since passed away a few years ago and for me some of my best memories with him are from our time in RuneScape. I do not do anything when I go on, just reminisce looking at all the old items in the bank that bring back memories. Back when house phones were still a thing I had a cordless phone and him and would talk on the phone while playing the game until one of our phone’s would die. Core memories that I’ll forever miss and cherish.
Thanks to the neighbor on the street Eric for showing me this game when I was 5. This game was my two brothers and I's lifeline when my mother passed from cancer when I was 8. It was my life then, and it continues to hold one of the most emotional soundtracks for me as I turn 26. Cheers to beauty, lads.
I logged into RS3 for the first time in YEARS here recently. When my screen loaded,I was in lumbridge. When I left runescape all those years ago,I had ended my journey and logged out in lumbridge.... which is where I once began in 2004. Upon logging in, I noticed that lumbridge had grown and changed a lot over the years. Just as I had. A huge wave of nostalgia washed over me and I smiled. I then took a few steps and realized.......a new journey was awaiting
I'm crying right now, more so than in a long while. All these feelings, nostalgia, the taste of forlorn days, sadness that something is gone, happiness that it happened, this is wonderful. Thanks for making this, thanks to everyone in the comments for sharing their stories and feelings, just thank you all. Much love, and good luck on your journeys
I have a lot of memories of this game, from riding bikes to the library with the Bois at opening to use our library cards to max up that 2 hour limit, to finally winning my first pvp match and feeling proud. But the memory that always comes up with this game is this: At around level 70, I decided to take a vacation. Like a for real vacation from everything. I planned a trip to the far top left of the map, some beach area I've never went to before. I stocked up on a bunch of food, cooked it all, made sure I had weapons and armor good enough for the journey, and off I went. I fought, stopped at random sights along the way, made it to my destination, took off my armor and just relaxed. I fished, talked with local players if they passed by, I explored, and when my time was done, I took the teleporty stone thing home. I just felt so proud of myself, moreso than any quest or ranking I did.
I was one time at the Grand Exchange and a group of players told me to go with them to the Wilderness to go "kill someone". And innocently agreed and once we were all really deep in the wilderness maybe level 60 or so, they all started attacking me. A wizard used the spell to paralyze me and the others kept shooting arrows at me. I had full rune on. I died that night and was the saddest night of my life. I went to bed so scared.
Finally i can share this story. I like exploring so i was deep in the wildy just checkin out a castle when i see this guy appear in the distance, he didn't have a skull and bones above his head so i thought he was chill. We start talkin then he starts randomly swinging at me for huge damage while im typing, i was able to run into the castle up and around stairs and hallways. I climbed a ladder when i lost sight of him and used to return spell that takes you back to the main lvl 3 noob place. I was in cold sweat hoping i wouldnt see his pixels load before i tele'd out. I made it out safe but i hadn't felt that flight response literally ever. Your story just reminded me of mine but yours, that's intense man. That's about the same as losing everything in Minecraft, done until i don't care anymore vibes
@@chogak Do not remind me about my fight or flight response towards the wilderness, the anxiety i had of that place, the sweaty palms, heart racing, genuine fear... after learning my lesson and dying once and losing my armor, i never stepped foot in there again unless i had NOTHING on me
@@chogak Thank you for sharing, that's a great story man I can tell it really stuck with you. Figured I'd share my story too - When I was a brand new member I managed to earn enough gold from mining iron ore that I could afford rune armor, and there was that cave in the swamp south of the Lumbridge* graveyard that I always wondered what was inside. I took my fresh new armor, a candle, and a tinderbox down to that cave, lit my candle, and started exploring. If you've ever explored black-out caves and needed a light source before, you're probably already cringing. Well a draft randomly happened and blew out my candle and it wouldn't relight easily, so all I could do was frantically click in the darkness hoping I could find the exit before the bugs ate me alive. 1dmg after 1dmg after 1dmg rapidly started appearing and my health depleted faster than I could eat. My nerves were electrified, and adrenaline started coursing through my body. I died in that cave, lost my armor I had spent weeks grinding for, and was left only with the sinking feeling in my heart that my armor was just going to disappear because nobody ever goes down there. As I type this as an adult, I know that my life will be of higher quality from learning at a young age that material possessions are not everything, and that I should enjoy the things I have while I have them because someday I might not have them anymore; and if it is my fault that I lose my favorite possessions, then I should not blame myself for too long or I would just be adding to the pain. Sometimes lessons in life are going to be learned the hard way, and that's ok.
I feel a weird feeling actually. This is my favorite game ever. I played every single day, and my mother wouldn't allow me since my grades at school were getting lower! I have a mix of feeling: missing it, sad for don't have my friends playing again, happy for knowing the map until today, the memories... I miss you, Runescape! Now all my friends became dads, married and doesnt play anymore.
i started back in primary school.. played all the way up to senior year of H.S (loads of on & off though), but im glad to say i played during the golden era of RS. back before all the trade limits, all the other BS. I think the memories of RS are nostalgic because of the people we used to play with etc. When you get home from school & see your friends online & talking shit on skype together and alot of other shit. i got over it a while ago but whenever i see vids of RS & music, it brings it all back... if only we could relive it in that moment.
This is not a joke. I legit dropped a few tears listening to these songs. I will never forget the beautiful, fun and stress free moments this game gave me. I remember being a kid and watching my brother play it, years go by I started playing and as I matured I stopped. And 15 years later Im here listening to these songs and remembering everything I had ventured and invested time into this game. Thank you Runescape for these joyful memories.
A true masterpiece of a game. Playing from classic, to the initial members servers, and exploring the rs2 update was an amazing journey. With all the changes good and bad it is amazing the game lives to this day, but that community is what I wish I could visit but cannot. Truly a product of the time period it was released. The joy of the first large pvp guild battles, my friends in the black knights, the drop parties outside banks, pvp where everything just dropped to the ground, standing in Varrock and Falador shouting to find a trading partner, going to world drop holiday events, following the progress of the world first 99s, seeing new skills get released, going to new quest updates on release day and seeing Mod Andrew and others watching us explore the content for the first time. The experience is something I will never forget and will always deeply wish everyone could experience as I did. The world needs a new game that takes people on this journey and has the joyful passionate dedicated helpful and unmatched community this game had for so many years!
@@agnusdei3575Lol! It was the name of a player pvp clan in classic. Alot of members even had bk at the end of their names. Back then clans fought in the wild identified by different color capes. There used to be a cool history of runescape clans story online that mentions them no idea if you can still find it.
I remember the excitement i would have to get out of school and go to the library to play runescape. Those simple times made me happy but now things have changed alot life happend. This soundtrack takes me back to the innocent days when life was simple
Funny you mention library, because what's where it happened. I was playing osrs at the library when i got my first addy 1h sword. I asked a random kid to look after it for me so i could go to the bathroom. Came back, he was gone and so was my sword. I just wanted a friend ;0 Weird to think small stuff like that is what makes the the world how it is i suppose.
The bittersweet notion that childhood is not lasting. Only once you pass this stage, do you realize what you've enjoyed, what you've lived, and what you've loved. Even if you try and replay whatever it was, it simply will never be the same. I remember how I started in 2006. I was so bad at the game - but the music, the characters, the quests, and just the game as a whole was utterly mesmerizing. To top it all off, playing with friends after a whole day at school was great. I never even reached a 99 until 4 years later. That's how much time I spent just fooling and exploring Runescape. Simply going into the log-in screen was epic, and logging in to do whatever was the best; it could be doing minigames (soul wars was amazing), chatting to random people in Lumbridge/GE, walking around, attending drop parties, skilling... To quote Alice in Wonderland, we are all "remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days." I'm so glad I got to experience this. Thank you, Runescape.
I miss this so much. Rip all my friends I never got to see again, and to the one's we spent countless hours together for quests and gold. Thank you for the journey life has given me, thank you Jagex for the unconsiderably amount of hours this game has made a weird comfort in my life, that I can always listen and remember all the times. It's truely a gift. And what a journey Gielinor has given me.
To be honest I wasn't sure if I would remember any of it, and upon the first song coming on it immediately brought back memories. Ahhh good times in middle school mate.
I miss true old school RuneScape. 2007 and before. I wasn't much into pking. I adventured! It was lots of fun questing and just focusing on random skills. Those friends you met along the way too! And also the RS forums were awesome on finding clans, events, and special worlds. I miss those feelings. I remember waking up early 2004 morning and I would get cereal, sit at the computer, look out the windows and see the sun welcoming it's way through the blinds. Then I would get on the web and type in RuneScape. My day was ready. My life felt complete then in what feels like a different life than what is mine now. R.I.P. Childhood.
RuneScape has a few Guniess world records. One of them being "Most original game music". I remember the scholastic book fair, browsing through books I couldn't afford (poor family growing up lol..). Picked up the 2009 Guniess book of World records Video Games edition and stumbled upon a picture of players in pking in lumbridge. Jagex got their 2nd World Record for "Most popular free-to-play MMORPG". It was my first time seeing RuneScape outside of the household for the first time ever. I was so hype!
Writing my dissertation for my degree to become a paramedic, listening to this while working has made it bearable and helped me to focus and keep going. Thank you very much for collating and making this for us.
playing castle wars with my cousin while we were both in the same room on different PCs. eating pizza and trading yugioh cards. you made me shed some tears just hearing this . For a few seconds i felt the peace that i did when i was that age.. i can only hope to feel that same peace again one day
I'm so glad I found this. thank you so much. This game was and always will be THE game of my childhood. I never had a PC that could run any other game so I always stuck to RS. I'm playing OSRS as I type this comment out. whilst it's nice to be able to actually make progress and understand the game the whole vibe and atmosphere of seeing random people running around talking to each other, people asking for help with shield of arrav quest, seeing Zezima (yes I saw Zezima outside the Rimmington home teleport!!) has gone. I guess this happens when people get older. I might just dedicate the next 2 hours to this playlist whilst I play some OSRS. Cheers from England mate!
This game and Maplestory... oh man the memories as a kid.. I remember West Bank of Varrock being the go to spot for selling Rune Items, "Armor Trimmers", God Armors were so badass back than, Santa Hats and Halloween Masks being all the craze, Zezima lol. Still play this now and the nostalgia is insane but that feeling from before.. such fond memories being idiots with my friends, pking with that R2H, Scim or Bow Switch lmao. 26 now. Great memories !
What a blast back to the past... I remember being introduced to Runescape when I was in the computer lab in my secondary school back in 2004, I would have been about 12 then and a guy a year older than me introduced me to it because he wanted a band of people to run around with. I remember immediately loving the vibe of the game, the depth of the skill trees and the progression. Making some friends online, smelting ore after getting home from school or after finishing homework during the colder months are some of the coziest memories I have. I'm pretty sure it also kickstarted my entrepreneurial side too as figuring out ways to make money was a crucial part of the game. I couldn't get into playing other MMOs after playing Runescape, Nothing came close to it. Godspeed to the chaps who designed and built it!
Music is really a powerful thing. The memories come rushing back...Music is even played to elderly folk with memory issues, to help them recall their past for a few moments. Pretty awesome imo. I draw some comfort in that, even if our memory fades, we can count on music to bring us back.
Funny, I can remember coming home from middle school and spending the evening playing Runescape, with these little pieces of music helping me relax and unwind from all my schoolwork as I explored and did quests. Now, more than 15 years on, I am back here again but this time I am the teacher and I am using the music to help me relax as I write student reports! Crazy how time goes by but some things never change...
I started playing Runescape at 13 years old, i played for many years with my brother, you dont know how its feels... many hours with him killing goblins, then lesser demons, and finally we could kill our first Kalphite Queen..... listenting the best song in OSRS "Volcanic Vikings"..... now im 30 and i work listenting these songs. Best moments in my life. Love you Runescape.
Graduated college a few years ago, married and working in a corporate job. Life moves on, but coming back to hear these familiar and confronting songs brings me back to a simpler time. A time where I would sit in my room on my computer after school and on weekends and go on an adventure. Nothing else made me feel like RuneScape did. Here’s to great memories. Thanks, Jagex.
Listening to this makes me really miss those days of playing after school, finally getting membership, and just the feeling of adventure playing for the first time.
Into my 50s now. Still play, still enjoy it. But the magic of the old game and music isn’t there anymore. Thank you for bringing back early days of adventure.
I fell asleep watching collenelo. Found out this came on mid sleep. I have been having anxiety dreams latley. But last night none that I can remember, thank you RS Music

A moment of silence for those friends you met online who would spare you with sweet cool items. Who carried you through a small journey that meant the world to you. For those friends who would stay up past 3am just to mine that iron ore with you. For the friends that made you feel comfortable enough to talk about your tough days in middle school. A moment of silence for the ones that logged off forever ... Amen
The best of people indeed
Jessayesss and would have your back at all hours of the night

god i fucking miss those days. and you or someone else levels up and everyone: "grats" "nice" "lvl?"
@@BraveCat9927 exactly. and people generally weren't competitive. they would even congratulate each other's achievements. I love this game and its community so much back in the days.
@@BraveCat9927 it still happens tho
Max Didenko it really does!
Happiest years of my life. When I was finally able to convince my mom to pay 5$ a month for members, I would wake up 2 hours before school just to play. And nothing else in my life has motivated me to wake up early
I think that's why i like mornings so much. Looking forward to something was so magical. The sky was so blue and fresh in the morning, perfect weather for osrs c;
That was one of those moments where you felt like a god, walking around a free server with that Elemental Shield and being followed and begged for gold even though you had like 5k but that shield... It was a symbol of your status as a higher being.
I'd literally do this and grind hill giants before school lmao
@@chogak
Bruh sometimes in 4th grade I would wake up at 4 or even 2 am and creep quietly downstairs to grind the mining guild before school.
In 2006 I met a friend on RS, we stayed friends until around 08. We talked every day on RS, did so many quests, PKing, and mini games. One day he just logged off and never got back on. I seriously assumed he died irl, and I would never get to talk to him again😅. Stopped playing for 10 years. I got back into OSRS mobile last year and decided to randomly add his old username to my friends list, and he was online. It was actually him.. I couldn't believe it, we remembered everything, and talked for hours.
Dude that's awesome 🙂👍
Damn man that is actually amazing! So happy for you bro!
Omg 😢 That's beautiful. Happy for you ❤
Doesn't seem true
I 100 percent believe it because I Had the very same thing happen as well. It was about 12 years in between but it was the exact same scenario. It probably happens more often than you’d think. We both came back specifically because 07 returned
The nostalgia is almost painful. I miss these times. When nothing else mattered then getting a 99 cape and feeling so cool. When logging on after school felt like freedom.
update 1 year later- still listen to this while studying, just found out I have an interview for my dream radiology program! Thank you to runescape music to help me focus.
One more update- I have been accepted into my dream school for radiology! Will still listen to this to help me!
Jan 2023- I am about to enter my 3rd semester of radiology school! Doing well so far! Thank you for all the nice comments! I hope everyone is getting to reach their goals this year!
August 2023- I'm 9 months away from graduating! Can't wait for my 99 radiology cape (if only there was such a thing). I love reading your comments!
Feb 2024- 3 more months until 99 radiology!! I enjoyed the winter event while on break but back to the 99 radiology grind!
May 2024- What's up guys!! Tomorrow is my last day of radiology school. It's insane how fast time flew and hard my program was. But I'm so excited to be done and I have been studying for my board exam that is in a few weeks along with my graduation on May 24th. Thank you for your comments and heres to 99 Radiology!!
**I passed my boards!
December 2024- possibility my last update. I ended up going to CT school and completed it and passed my CT boards a few weeks ago! Hears to 99 CT scan!!
And all you would talk about at school was rs haha damn I cherish those days

When I was a kid I used to dress up as a priest and hide out in the southern varrock church (the one you need to go to unlock the abyss runecrafting minigame) and whenever a player would walk in to explore or to recharge their prayer points, I would ask them to confess their sins to me. Most people were rude or ignored me, but one time this guy walks in with full rune which was a big deal back then, at least to 12 year old me it was, and we got to talking. I asked him the usual priest stuff, I guess I had a thing for role playing even back then, and he confided in me that the worst thing he had done was to scam one of his class mates out of full rune (the set he was wearing) because he told his friend at school that he could trim it gold for him.
I know priests aren't really supposed to tell you to set it right, they're more there to be an outlet for the stuff that's weighing you down and to absolve you of those feelings (I don't know, never spent so much as a day inside real church or ever been in person with an actual priest.) But I couldn't help myself and told the guy that he should give it back, because that rune set is just pixels in a game, but friendships are real and precious and by burning that bridge between his friend he's only causing his own suffering. With all my 12 year old wisdom I somehow managed to convince him to give the rune set back to his friend. At least that's what he said he would do, I added him but he never logged back in again. I still wonder if he really did give it back or if his friend told his mom who told the scammers mom and then he got grounded off of the game for life or something lol.
I sometimes remember that kid and lie awake at night thinking about it, it's such a weird interaction to have inside of a video game but it happened, and the fact I'll probably never get closure on the outcome is what really annoys me. Oh well, OSRS music kicks ass at least!
This should be the top comment!
Underrated comment
Be at peace knowing that you actually caused him to open up to you and contemplate giving back the stuff. Even if he did or didn't..you helped him stop for atleast a moment, and consider the consequences of his actions. Whether you are a believer or not, you showed kindness. You don't have to be over-religious to be "human". Thank you for being human even at the young age of 12
I conned a in game friend out of an abyssal whip still haunts me to this day.
should be top comment!. Awesome anecdote, you roleplayed Runescape there like a real RPG or an hybrid of MMO-RPG and real life , and its super inspiring! I myself want to be a priest (in real life) and your thoughts about a priest's role are very wise
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. For those of you I might have fished lobs in Karamja with, those who I pked with and fought against and swore at as an immature child. Thank you all for making this experience real. Love u all.
Karamaja lobbies was always poppin. Fuck
This hits me hard. Thanks bud
U reminded I fished for lobbies in karamja and I poked with a team called cd...critical damage back then was called, there were so many pking back then was unreal the clans were so many that if they met the screen used to be filled with piers just running around was funny and exciting at the same time
Karamja lobbies
fishing lvls?
Just graduated college and got a job. I miss the days when I was blissfully unaware of everything and just playing this. Now the world is under a pandemic as I enter the working world. Never knew how much I would cherish those days.
I hope we crossed paths before and helped each other out.
This is the exact same thing I'm going through... I miss childhood and playing this game. Making friends, etc.
It's never too late.
Yes it is too late charmander!!! I got kids and unemployed and worried
Back when we could play a game for months and make no progress. Repeating the same tasks blissfully to grind that one level, exceited what happens after 2 and fighting goblins until we can finally fight a scorpion and mine the ores in the desert in peace.
I miss those days.
I would never have thought that young 12 year old me would at the age of 27 intentionally seek out the soundtracks of RuneScape just for a massive hit of nostalgia, but here I am.
The times were good, being a child playing RuneScape in the golden year of 2006 was a magical experience.
The game has aged like fine wine maybe give it a another go
Literally in the exact same shoes. Started playing sometime in 2006 until around 2009-2010. Currently 27. I heard a song called Magical Fantasy by Dmitriy Sevostyanov and I really thought it was an OSRS track. I don’t think it was, but I wanted the nostalgia to continue, so here I am 😅😂
1:58:28 Internet went down music
farooqaaa this deserves more likes lmao
@@mirtki8749 it suuuuper does, got me to remember the feel so deeply LOL
True lol
Omg yes lmao
And on that time, u were in the wildy =D
I'll say it OSRS might have the greatest soundtrack in gaming history at the very least top 5. Every song and you instantly knew where you are and every song brings back certain memories.
Only a small handful of gaming soundtracks have that power
Along side RuneScape, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Halo series, Witcher 3. Mw2 had killer tracks too. Can’t think of much else
@@vMatzG skyrim and oblivion is in my opinion the best gaming soundtracks
I think the Zelda Soundtracks do it for me as well. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Majora's Mask. Come on now, get with the program lol

I'm 30 and I've been playing this game (both OSRS and RS3) since 12. I hope this game never dies.
right on 31 here played since i was a kid
Im 30 as well and i still play and i made my daughter her first account!
25, but same thing. This was my first computer game.
27 playing since 2005. Nearly maxed on my osrs main and just started HCIM on RS3 and have been having a great time.
Im 30 too, Iremember playing this game when I was 14 or so.
Oh all the adventures.
I remember my first time purchasing membership with my mom, it took me a whole week to convince her, after that she finally made a bank transfer to jagex because at that time, that was the only way for us to pay from my almost third world country.
It took three days for the payment to go through, and even though it is now 15 years later, I still remember that very day where I logged into Runescape and saw for the first time that I have 30 days of membership available.
It was at night just before bedtime, but I was so happy and my mom was so happy seeing me so happy that she allowed me to stay up later and play for longer.
She probably regretted that decision later because she found me wide awake at 3am in the morning, wandering around the Al-kharid desert, trying to figure out why the crocodile will not die! (you need a special slayer item)
Good times! Thank you to everyonone on this game, thank you for teaching me how to speak english, how to make good friends and how to learn from my mistakes from being scammed.

Every now and then, i just come here and cry my heart out, even now, when im in a pretty good place in life, i just cant help but cry my heart out, back when i didnt have responsibilities, when i didnt care how others looked at my body, didnt think about what im going to study in college, didnt think about a job and saving money, when my and my friends would play for hours, pull all nighters, and would talk about these games everyday, its kinda sad..
Wish everyone who reads this the best in life, although these days were amazing, dont forget to make the best out of the present too

Me af. Typing this from my government job as I randomly decided to pop this playlist in my ear while I hash out some reports. Reading the comments is making my memories flood back. I'm so thankful for RuneScape. It genuinely was such a good time to be alive.
One of the main reasons I learned English, because looking at a tree, hovering over it and the cursor saying "tree" made me realize what it means in english. Great, nostalgic memories, I'm very glad I had a parent who would be giving me the money to try it out. A few years of my teenage years well spent
*hug* I know how it can be! Stay happy my man!
1:54:44 I remember coming home from school to $20 on the table for me and my brother for getting good grades in middle school. We both bought member ship and some snacks to eat while we played. I look back on those days and realize that In just 11 years so much changed.... Rest In Peace mom and dad..... The little things in life like that $20 changed my taste in games. Being able to buy stupid items from the GE just because I had membership and exploring the map. Such fond memories.
Damn that hit me hard even though I don't know you.
RIP both your parents, do them a favor and get good grades in real life (be successful)
Ibrahima SOW I’m 23 now... this was back when I was 12..... how times fly. I’m glad rs 007 is still a piece of nostalgia I can go back to when I need to escape my daily stress

1:13:14 - Baroque reminds me of my first time getting membership for my good grades and the first thing I thing I wanted to go and do was steal cakes.
Good man
I relate to this so hard
Calm Corazon first thing I ever did when I got membership was go into the digsite lmao
I prepared a speech for my parents about why I deserved a year of membership. They paid $5 a month for what became one of the most memorable games ever.

I'm cryinggggg😭😭😭
Moo
**wha-ching!**
**VRWW!!**
I remember when I just started playing and accidently hit the farmer instead of the cow and he killed me :')
Nothing will ever beat staying up until 4am playing this game, back when I was starting high school in 2004-2005, now Im about to be 30! Jesus time flys man, RuneScape wasn't a game it was an EXPERIENCE, today's kids don't even know, forget fortnite this is where my Saturday nights went 😭
bayboy707 man I felt this
siiiiiiiip. I feel you tho
Insane dude good memories ❤❤❤❤❤
I really want to see OSRS to be flooded with new child players as if its a new fad like fortnite. To the point where the seasoned players are outnumbered 99-1. You would see the old times come back real fast, the simplicity and stupidity. And at least they would become a bit smarter (Increasing vocabulary, learning names of lesser known real life objects, learning the processes of resource production and refining, learning the dangers of gambling, learning supply and demand) much better than the mindless shit kids play nowadays.
Deadass
Imagine it’s a Saturday morning on a cold snowy day

Take me back to this game when it wasn’t just about “BiS this, tick x, efficiency is everything”, and just about having fun and making your own adventure
ILikeFryz youll need a time machine
That's why group Ironman is gonna be so great
Yeah i hate the new attitude towards RS now too. I don't let it change things tho. I still chill and afk most things. I do weird tasks. I skill in weird places doing weird things. I try to do every possible action in the game at least once. Really gives the game a new feeling to it
ILikeFryz imagine playing the game the way people tell you to.
Just do whatever u want lol. If ppl were to bother u, just ignore list them

Everyone who played Runescape has this special love for the game, such a previlege to have the memories.
And this soundtrack! It brings everything to life again
These soundtracks always manage to calm me down when I’m feeling stressed out and weighed down by life. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. When you’re younger you never realize that things will change, and they’ll continue to change often. Before you know it your 5,10, then 15 years older and everyone you used to spend time with is gone. Parents you saw daily get divorced seeing dad on the weekends turns into a few times a year. Friends get busy and distant and before you know it you realize people you used to call your best friends don’t even know you anymore. Everyone moves, works a different schedule, or becomes unavailable after starting a family. My older cousin used to try and explain to me that time goes faster the older you get and I never did believe him until now. Eventually you settle in a place with a consistent schedule. Day in and day out is mostly the same it’s difficult to remember what you did last week because life becomes auto pilot. I will forever cherish my childhood memories and I’m thankful that this video can bring so many of those to the surface. It’s crazy how a sound or smell can really wake you up momentarily.
💯
Haven't lisened to the in-game music in years. The nostalgia is enough to make a grown man cry

Agree this one is awsome and bring the feels and memories :(
I have so much anxiety in my head for no good reason at all. I cannot sleep anymore. I am restless. These videos used to bring me in that other world that I remember from what is it 15 years ago. But even this doesn't work anymore. I don't know if I will be around for much longer but I'd like to say thanks to everyone who played this game all those years ago. It truly felt like another world because you knew during in real life, life in RuneScape kept going on too; people were trading, making money, getting xp. Thank you everyone for playing
every time i click on this video, for most of these songs, it's like i'm intstanly transported back to my 12-year-old self in 2005 when i first discovered RunesScape. Back then, as a kid, it was like magic, like going into another world, when logging into this game. I swear a-lot of the boys in my town played it. Even in church, an older boy sitting next to me, passed me a note asking If i played RS. Cheers SirJordan38. Now, we've all moved in our lives.
I remember when I was in middle School and when my best friend convinced his dad to buy him a membership back then it used to be just $5 a month, after he got his membership I had to layout a complete blueprint to make my dad buy one for me and finally when he did I was so excited to open the locked gates to tavelry, that gate was always a mystery to me when I used to be f2p. I thought there were dragons and huge demons hiding inside talverly haha.. also this was from 2008 time , I know most of you are really old players but for me this is my nostalgic dream. The memories... It hurts knowing that those days are never coming back again. Thank you jagex for everything you've done for us, from learning how to type fast , problem solving, meeting amazing new people and to financial management. This game made me realize that whatever you do, do what you love! Thank you!
Ashwin Haridas you better hold dear to these memories because jagex turned into a scummy moneygrabbing company
You weren't wrong! Taverly dungeon has demons and dragons lol
@@Mrmghz1 haha yeah surely, but it was always a mystery for me
So many core memories unlocked. I still pop on RuneScape every once in a while for nostalgia but mostly to maintain and old account a friend and I had shared. That friend has since passed away a few years ago and for me some of my best memories with him are from our time in RuneScape. I do not do anything when I go on, just reminisce looking at all the old items in the bank that bring back memories. Back when house phones were still a thing I had a cordless phone and him and would talk on the phone while playing the game until one of our phone’s would die. Core memories that I’ll forever miss and cherish.
Thanks to the neighbor on the street Eric for showing me this game when I was 5. This game was my two brothers and I's lifeline when my mother passed from cancer when I was 8. It was my life then, and it continues to hold one of the most emotional soundtracks for me as I turn 26.
Cheers to beauty, lads.
I logged into RS3 for the first time in YEARS here recently. When my screen loaded,I was in lumbridge. When I left runescape all those years ago,I had ended my journey and logged out in lumbridge.... which is where I once began in 2004.
Upon logging in, I noticed that lumbridge had grown and changed a lot over the years. Just as I had.
A huge wave of nostalgia washed over me and I smiled. I then took a few steps and realized.......a new journey was awaiting
no fanfiction in the comments pls
I'm crying right now, more so than in a long while. All these feelings, nostalgia, the taste of forlorn days, sadness that something is gone, happiness that it happened, this is wonderful. Thanks for making this, thanks to everyone in the comments for sharing their stories and feelings, just thank you all. Much love, and good luck on your journeys
Well said. Its easy to be sad about good times gone by but remember those experiences live on in our mind.. Cheers

I have a lot of memories of this game, from riding bikes to the library with the Bois at opening to use our library cards to max up that 2 hour limit, to finally winning my first pvp match and feeling proud. But the memory that always comes up with this game is this:
At around level 70, I decided to take a vacation. Like a for real vacation from everything. I planned a trip to the far top left of the map, some beach area I've never went to before. I stocked up on a bunch of food, cooked it all, made sure I had weapons and armor good enough for the journey, and off I went. I fought, stopped at random sights along the way, made it to my destination, took off my armor and just relaxed. I fished, talked with local players if they passed by, I explored, and when my time was done, I took the teleporty stone thing home. I just felt so proud of myself, moreso than any quest or ranking I did.
55:35 NIGHT FALL
Everytime i loot from highwaymen to get black capes
Picking up the ‘free’ runes and thought it will made me bank
I'm a 5:51 kind of guy. To me this track is F2P Runescape lol. I'll never forget the 06-09 days.
I saw this comment and thought I'd check how far away i was from that one, and i then noticed i was already just over 25 minutes in 😂
F2ps are warriors
based
I was one time at the Grand Exchange and a group of players told me to go with them to the Wilderness to go "kill someone". And innocently agreed and once we were all really deep in the wilderness maybe level 60 or so, they all started attacking me. A wizard used the spell to paralyze me and the others kept shooting arrows at me. I had full rune on. I died that night and was the saddest night of my life. I went to bed so scared.
Finally i can share this story.
I like exploring so i was deep in the wildy just checkin out a castle when i see this guy appear in the distance, he didn't have a skull and bones above his head so i thought he was chill. We start talkin then he starts randomly swinging at me for huge damage while im typing, i was able to run into the castle up and around stairs and hallways. I climbed a ladder when i lost sight of him and used to return spell that takes you back to the main lvl 3 noob place. I was in cold sweat hoping i wouldnt see his pixels load before i tele'd out. I made it out safe but i hadn't felt that flight response literally ever. Your story just reminded me of mine but yours, that's intense man. That's about the same as losing everything in Minecraft, done until i don't care anymore vibes
@@chogak damn such a cool story bro and yours too cristobal damn I love RuneScape stories
@@chogak Do not remind me about my fight or flight response towards the wilderness, the anxiety i had of that place, the sweaty palms, heart racing, genuine fear... after learning my lesson and dying once and losing my armor, i never stepped foot in there again unless i had NOTHING on me
@@chogak Thank you for sharing, that's a great story man I can tell it really stuck with you. Figured I'd share my story too - When I was a brand new member I managed to earn enough gold from mining iron ore that I could afford rune armor, and there was that cave in the swamp south of the Lumbridge* graveyard that I always wondered what was inside. I took my fresh new armor, a candle, and a tinderbox down to that cave, lit my candle, and started exploring. If you've ever explored black-out caves and needed a light source before, you're probably already cringing. Well a draft randomly happened and blew out my candle and it wouldn't relight easily, so all I could do was frantically click in the darkness hoping I could find the exit before the bugs ate me alive. 1dmg after 1dmg after 1dmg rapidly started appearing and my health depleted faster than I could eat. My nerves were electrified, and adrenaline started coursing through my body. I died in that cave, lost my armor I had spent weeks grinding for, and was left only with the sinking feeling in my heart that my armor was just going to disappear because nobody ever goes down there. As I type this as an adult, I know that my life will be of higher quality from learning at a young age that material possessions are not everything, and that I should enjoy the things I have while I have them because someday I might not have them anymore; and if it is my fault that I lose my favorite possessions, then I should not blame myself for too long or I would just be adding to the pain. Sometimes lessons in life are going to be learned the hard way, and that's ok.
@@chogak
Losing everything in Minecraft is nothing.
I feel a weird feeling actually.
This is my favorite game ever. I played every single day, and my mother wouldn't allow me since my grades at school were getting lower!
I have a mix of feeling: missing it, sad for don't have my friends playing again, happy for knowing the map until today, the memories...
I miss you, Runescape!
Now all my friends became dads, married and doesnt play anymore.
27 years in this world and yet not a single game that surpassed this one for me
for some reason 5:50 is what I like
It's Jabo reminds me of the first times I was questing through the game. Stuff like Romeo and Juliet :’)
Man
same dude. I think i was 12 at the time, but we usually hung out with school friends in varrock so this brings back memmories
It's Jabo Where I met my first runescape girl friend 😭
It's Jabo i use a similar name as you in online games and i also player RuneScape
23:59 a true masterpiece.
I think you mean 0:00 - 2:01:42 true masterpieces
You misspelled 0:00 - 2:01:42
❤
This gave me chills
Took me to an ad. Trolled. Lol
I love reading the comment section on these. It's heartwarming to see that these youthful feelings of excitement and passion were shared by so many.
Shoutout to my homie who helped me recover my stuff when I died from red spider poisoning on Karamja. You a real one
Start made me cry this game meant every thing for me
Same
Preston Schottlaender The good old days are over
i started back in primary school.. played all the way up to senior year of H.S (loads of on & off though), but im glad to say i played during the golden era of RS. back before all the trade limits, all the other BS. I think the memories of RS are nostalgic because of the people we used to play with etc. When you get home from school & see your friends online & talking shit on skype together and alot of other shit. i got over it a while ago but whenever i see vids of RS & music, it brings it all back... if only we could relive it in that moment.
almost make me cry too, so nostalgic! good times bro...
@@gurudaganja8985 guys there is RuneScape oldschool app,still have alot of Ppl playing
This is not a joke. I legit dropped a few tears listening to these songs. I will never forget the beautiful, fun and stress free moments this game gave me. I remember being a kid and watching my brother play it, years go by I started playing and as I matured I stopped. And 15 years later Im here listening to these songs and remembering everything I had ventured and invested time into this game. Thank you Runescape for these joyful memories.
im literally crying and shaking rn
A true masterpiece of a game. Playing from classic, to the initial members servers, and exploring the rs2 update was an amazing journey. With all the changes good and bad it is amazing the game lives to this day, but that community is what I wish I could visit but cannot. Truly a product of the time period it was released. The joy of the first large pvp guild battles, my friends in the black knights, the drop parties outside banks, pvp where everything just dropped to the ground, standing in Varrock and Falador shouting to find a trading partner, going to world drop holiday events, following the progress of the world first 99s, seeing new skills get released, going to new quest updates on release day and seeing Mod Andrew and others watching us explore the content for the first time. The experience is something I will never forget and will always deeply wish everyone could experience as I did. The world needs a new game that takes people on this journey and has the joyful passionate dedicated helpful and unmatched community this game had for so many years!
bro u were firends with black knights? traitor
@@agnusdei3575Lol! It was the name of a player pvp clan in classic. Alot of members even had bk at the end of their names. Back then clans fought in the wild identified by different color capes. There used to be a cool history of runescape clans story online that mentions them no idea if you can still find it.
Bring me back, back to the time it all begun: 1:15:21
Same bro, i remember i was so hyped when i got my full bronze set, i’m 25 now, how time flies..
leaving this comment here so in a week, a month or years from now i can remember this amazing nostalgic music!!
I'll have you all know that I was once woodcutting south of Rimmington and Zezima started woodcutting along side me.
amazing :o *.*
You have been blessed by a demigod. Your woodcutting level has been temporarily increased by 10 for a short duration...
Sounds like something the great one would do.
I remember seeing him in edgeville bank in 2008 and the area was PACKED with people following him and spamming everywhere. Ahhh it was great lol
@@DreamItCraftIt I think that's why he can't play osrs anymore.
8:27 has always been my favorite track
It’s a gorgeous song
This song makes me thing of noobs who dont know how to complete the tutorial
I came here in the coments looking for someone saying that
It's so comforting
@@rubystickmc8354 I was that guy once :(
I remember the excitement i would have to get out of school and go to the library to play runescape. Those simple times made me happy but now things have changed alot life happend. This soundtrack takes me back to the innocent days when life was simple
Funny you mention library, because what's where it happened.
I was playing osrs at the library when i got my first addy 1h sword. I asked a random kid to look after it for me so i could go to the bathroom. Came back, he was gone and so was my sword. I just wanted a friend ;0
Weird to think small stuff like that is what makes the the world how it is i suppose.
The bittersweet notion that childhood is not lasting.
Only once you pass this stage, do you realize what you've enjoyed, what you've lived, and what you've loved. Even if you try and replay whatever it was, it simply will never be the same.
I remember how I started in 2006. I was so bad at the game - but the music, the characters, the quests, and just the game as a whole was utterly mesmerizing. To top it all off, playing with friends after a whole day at school was great. I never even reached a 99 until 4 years later. That's how much time I spent just fooling and exploring Runescape. Simply going into the log-in screen was epic, and logging in to do whatever was the best; it could be doing minigames (soul wars was amazing), chatting to random people in Lumbridge/GE, walking around, attending drop parties, skilling...
To quote Alice in Wonderland, we are all "remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days."
I'm so glad I got to experience this. Thank you, Runescape.
This makes me want to cry. Nothing has ever been as great as Runescape during its peak.
1:15:00 tele to lummy
?
tummy
I fell asleep to this last night and had the trippiest dream. OSRS will forever live on!
I miss this so much.
Rip all my friends I never got to see again, and to the one's we spent countless hours together for quests and gold. Thank you for the journey life has given me, thank you Jagex for the unconsiderably amount of hours this game has made a weird comfort in my life, that I can always listen and remember all the times. It's truely a gift. And what a journey Gielinor has given me.
no game compares to the nostalgia of OSRS music. Whether your an active player or not, still hits like no other.
Started playing OSRS, couple months down the line a friend messages me.. "Hey! I remember you its been 10 years!"
That's so wholesome :D
This is lovely 😄
Is there more to this lovely story? 😊
"bruh you tryna make me midlife crisis rn?"
That's amazing. I would hope to bump into one of my old rs friends one day but since I changed name it probably won't happen...
Shoutout to halft00th for being there when I completed Dragon Slayer, then had a beer with me at the Blue Moon in Varrok.
hahahaha love this one
Loved that bar. Varrock bank was a great vibe
To be honest I wasn't sure if I would remember any of it, and upon the first song coming on it immediately brought back memories. Ahhh good times in middle school mate.
Memories are great like that c:
It's so refreshing to see the love people have for this game. Back when I played it, I felt like all I heard was how WoW was so much better.
I miss true old school RuneScape. 2007 and before. I wasn't much into pking. I adventured! It was lots of fun questing and just focusing on random skills. Those friends you met along the way too! And also the RS forums were awesome on finding clans, events, and special worlds. I miss those feelings. I remember waking up early 2004 morning and I would get cereal, sit at the computer, look out the windows and see the sun welcoming it's way through the blinds. Then I would get on the web and type in RuneScape. My day was ready. My life felt complete then in what feels like a different life than what is mine now. R.I.P. Childhood.
I've only got one thing to say: A wholehearted - Thank you.
This mix renews all the childhood feels I had man its weird how we all grew so fond of Runescape 07
RuneScape has a few Guniess world records. One of them being "Most original game music". I remember the scholastic book fair, browsing through books I couldn't afford (poor family growing up lol..). Picked up the 2009 Guniess book of World records Video Games edition and stumbled upon a picture of players in pking in lumbridge.
Jagex got their 2nd World Record for "Most popular free-to-play MMORPG".
It was my first time seeing RuneScape outside of the household for the first time ever. I was so hype!
Writing my dissertation for my degree to become a paramedic, listening to this while working has made it bearable and helped me to focus and keep going. Thank you very much for collating and making this for us.
playing castle wars with my cousin while we were both in the same room on different PCs. eating pizza and trading yugioh cards. you made me shed some tears just hearing this . For a few seconds i felt the peace that i did when i was that age.. i can only hope to feel that same peace again one day
"Stand And Deliver!"
'Oh dear, you are dead!'
:(
I'm so glad I found this. thank you so much.
This game was and always will be THE game of my childhood. I never had a PC that could run any other game so I always stuck to RS.
I'm playing OSRS as I type this comment out. whilst it's nice to be able to actually make progress and understand the game the whole vibe and atmosphere of seeing random people running around talking to each other, people asking for help with shield of arrav quest, seeing Zezima (yes I saw Zezima outside the Rimmington home teleport!!) has gone. I guess this happens when people get older.
I might just dedicate the next 2 hours to this playlist whilst I play some OSRS.
Cheers from England mate!
Wanna play?
splash 0ut sure mate I’m not on as much as back to work however add me... Edmund Grog :)
Love from the west coast of NA, osrs soldier!
I wonder if young people are playing this having the same feelings we did when we used to play as kids and nostalgia hasn't kicked in for them yet
This game and Maplestory... oh man the memories as a kid..
I remember West Bank of Varrock being the go to spot for selling Rune Items, "Armor Trimmers", God Armors were so badass back than, Santa Hats and Halloween Masks being all the craze, Zezima lol.
Still play this now and the nostalgia is insane but that feeling from before.. such fond memories being idiots with my friends, pking with that R2H, Scim or Bow Switch lmao. 26 now. Great memories !
One of these days, as an old man; I’ll hear this and remember.
I logged onto OSRS yesterday and caught up with an old friend on my friends list from 13-14 years ago... it was a beautiful thing lol
Sleeping to this and suddenly waking up 15 years younger.
oh my lord. imagine.
Oof
Don’t target my naive childlike hopefulness like that
What a blast back to the past... I remember being introduced to Runescape when I was in the computer lab in my secondary school back in 2004, I would have been about 12 then and a guy a year older than me introduced me to it because he wanted a band of people to run around with.
I remember immediately loving the vibe of the game, the depth of the skill trees and the progression. Making some friends online, smelting ore after getting home from school or after finishing homework during the colder months are some of the coziest memories I have. I'm pretty sure it also kickstarted my entrepreneurial side too as figuring out ways to make money was a crucial part of the game.
I couldn't get into playing other MMOs after playing Runescape, Nothing came close to it. Godspeed to the chaps who designed and built it!
Music is really a powerful thing. The memories come rushing back...Music is even played to elderly folk with memory issues, to help them recall their past for a few moments. Pretty awesome imo. I draw some comfort in that, even if our memory fades, we can count on music to bring us back.
Funny, I can remember coming home from middle school and spending the evening playing Runescape, with these little pieces of music helping me relax and unwind from all my schoolwork as I explored and did quests. Now, more than 15 years on, I am back here again but this time I am the teacher and I am using the music to help me relax as I write student reports! Crazy how time goes by but some things never change...
I started playing Runescape at 13 years old, i played for many years with my brother, you dont know how its feels... many hours with him killing goblins, then lesser demons, and finally we could kill our first Kalphite Queen..... listenting the best song in OSRS "Volcanic Vikings"..... now im 30 and i work listenting these songs. Best moments in my life. Love you Runescape.
It’s been many years since I last played Runescape, but I always come back and listen to the soundtracks for that dose of nostalgia.
you could always play osrs. Feel free to contact me in game: snipers222
The nostalgia somehow hurts, also for me its round about over 10 years i last played it. Time flies....
This music speaks to my soul on levels that nothing else can ever reach within me.
fr it makes me feel like everything is gonna work out
Best song at 1:11:00
Coke a Koala frrr
Coke a Koala agreed! song of my childhood
Omg 😭😭
agreed
no best one is 1:53:54, newbie Melody the song you hear on tutorial island ;) like the first track every new player hears
Wow thankyou. Seems like every song carries its own memories when you listen to them without runescape.
Graduated college a few years ago, married and working in a corporate job. Life moves on, but coming back to hear these familiar and confronting songs brings me back to a simpler time. A time where I would sit in my room on my computer after school and on weekends and go on an adventure. Nothing else made me feel like RuneScape did. Here’s to great memories. Thanks, Jagex.
At least RuneScape will be waiting for you once you get a divorce :)
I miss all of this. Except for 30:39. That song brings no nostalgia, only an endless void of torture and pain.
christrigg1 hahahahaha
Such a happy song for such a shitty place
SIPPIN ON THE LOVELYTI I dunno. The cheese potatoes are a nice bonus
The grind was real for them defenders 😂
It took me 1 day on a newer account of mine
I was blessed
Listening to this makes me really miss those days of playing after school, finally getting membership, and just the feeling of adventure playing for the first time.
If there’s anything in life I truly would want back from my childhood it’s the early days of playing this game. What a perfect era.
this is singlehandedly the greatest discovery ive ever made and this is the greatest video ever made so thank you
Into my 50s now. Still play, still enjoy it. But the magic of the old game and music isn’t there anymore. Thank you for bringing back early days of adventure.
I script and edit to this pretty much every single day now haha
You're not alone!
Should have been pumped into Luton Airport in the early 2000's
That's what I'm doing right now.
I fell asleep watching collenelo.
Found out this came on mid sleep.
I have been having anxiety dreams latley. But last night none that I can remember, thank you RS Music
Right then, hello best intro on this platform
Yeah Arthur keep thriving
