I spent last night editing this while studying for an exam, so likes are very much appreciated LOL
Jagex probably deleted it because of the embarrassment that became EOC
Love the vid. Gl on the exam!
It's amazing how much I remember this..
I definitely wanted a lvl 99 party animal shirt back in the day.
I liked, Very cool videios
It said Level 99 Party Animal
Jesus Christ this is a nostalgia trip! I remember the 05 page. I spent a ton of time just clicking around, seeing what there was to do. I actually remember most of these pages, but the 05 page really brought back some memories. Thank you for bringing this stuff up. It really does need to be preserved.
I was going to say 'first' but u saw this vid before every1 else cheater

Im dying to know how to get the runescape phat icon ngl
@@SmallAndSoft I am a youtube member on his channel, and one of the perks is I get a party hat next to my name for comments on his channel.
Does anyone remember the quest help on the official website where you were allowed 3 tips to help you every 24 hours? I used that to complete so many quests back in the day.
Hell yeah, that was a gamer level strategy for completing Evil Dave's section of RFD. It would literally tell you how many of which spices to use.
I remember using all my hints multiple times just trying to complete Ernest the chicken 😂
Who remembers using Tip.it a few years later?
@@Neon12J runehq for life g
@@thekyleprojekt7996 tip.it was my favorite
It was awesome, it used to help if you were stuck, without ruining the quest, unlike modern guides. Modern guides are useful for one thing, knowing what to bring in advance, saving you unnecessary trips without ruining the quest
That shirt definitely said Level 99 Party Animal
Definitely used that Barrows wallpaper with all the brothers back in the day.

Does anyone else remember how a lot of this community back then was like having a bunch of coworkers. You wouldn't add them to your friend list but knew them well enough to stop and chat.
Holy shit...the old log in screen actually looks like something 10 year old me would have gotten addicted to. Thank god I was 12 when I discovered RuneScape...
You still got addicted though right?
when you know you know.
"I'm not addicted I can quit anytime..." 15 years later...
I was 11 when i started playing in 2003.
"The most random gear ever" in 2008 that was the tank strat cuz bandos armor was like 80m a piece and gp wasn't free. God I'm old af
in 2008 tassets were 30m and bcp was 25 hilt was over 30m but 30m back then is like 200m today
2008 was when people STOPPED playing as the game got trash. I miss 2004/2005 when I would sit in the computer room at my elementary school and get on rusescape with the boys. I do remember playing Runescape Classic too, sleeping bags and the old skill system. I play OSRS now because it's as close to 2004/2005 as I can get. Still use a mod to make the interface old. All this Quality of Life shit really brings the mood down though.

"Rank 1. Old Skool -- Total Level 3958 -- 900M XP"
Anyone know what's going on there?
I'm going to make another comment about this. WTF?
I was going down to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that. I didnt realise he was 3958 total tho.. I just saw his 900m total xp and thought this wouldnt be possible lol. Zezima was the first to 1b xp and that was 2y+ after this screenshot, So strange haha
Seeing that Sal's Realm page brought back so many memories. That site helped me so much in my younger years.
I remember EVERY ONE OF THESE... when I first played RuneScape (back in classic) I genuinely had no idea just how early in the game's lifespan I'd arrived. I assumed it had been years old already, but no... it grew up with me.
Didn’t realize I played so early in the game either, of course I was like 7/8 so I never got anywhere but I played a lot
The previews for RS2 with the gifs of 3D models ...
I looked at those screenshots and gifs so much while RS2 was in development
12:01 "Everything is spanish"

BRUH came here to comment that hahaha
yes portuguese from portugal/spanish from spain but still apply, i now the difference between my mother speaking or my father but ok.

This was actually mad nostalgic.
So happy to hear that!
It's crazy how many things I recognized, it really is nostalgic
Amazing i miss the old days everything use to be a rush
Thank you for the flashbacks to my childhood where my only anxiety came from being the first to pick up stuff that people were clearing their banks.
Are we gonna ignore the guy at 7:02 with over 3k total
THE RUNESCAPE GAME BAR OMFG THE NOSTALGIA
Damn seeing the old Varrock again and then the art work of which I remember looking at two of them specifically when I was a kid really took me back.
Bruh this video hit me in the feels
Where did it all go so wrong
We all grew up man :(

@@sly7308 I don't think Jagexs poor company decisions have anything to do with people "growing up".
@@TimeLierG people also grew up, which is why 07 didnt feel like it used too for very long.
The community died, along with IRL communities.
The fallacy of the internet (and MMO's, in conjunction) is that internet communities exist outside of IRL communities. They are predicated on IRL communities.
Community has broken down IRL, and therefore community has broken down in game. Online communities aren't some seperate entity.
In insufferable person IRL will, typically, be insufferable online.
It really is that simple.
The blue shirt at 12.25 says "Lvl 99 Party Animal"
I bought one of those as a birthday present for my friend who was really into RS back then, but never said no to a party we hosted either.
Honestly this is amazing to see - having started playing at 12 in 2006 and experiencing all these versions of the game, to see this again brings back so many memories. 10/10 my dude good vid 😄
RUclips user Bloodyzero, who uploaded the first RS video on RUclips, mentioned that clans would upload PK videos to their own forums / websites before RUclips was around. Wish there was some way of finding them. Would like to see what PKing was like in 2004 RS2.
Is weird to know I was one of those 60000 something players around 2004.
D: holy sh*t I'm old!

I was apart of the 15k in 03 holy crap
@@GooLGaming what 2003 was only 15k?
I love seeing these videos of old Runescape. I remember in the fall of 2001 I was 14 and my cousin showed me the game and I was hooked instantly. Back then it was like 4 or 5 servers for the US and I think only a few thousand people playing it.
This is great work! Thanks! And you got a shout-out to RSC+? True legend.
I started in 2004 and seeing these websites was a real blast from the past! I remember spending a long time just browsing the site and looking at all the art. I also appeared in the Dungeoneering-themed postbag letters, and I was a little sad when they got taken down. Thankfully, RS Wiki archived them.
Good stuff, 04-05 is when I just started so it's neat to see, by 07 I was a pmod and that stuff seems super familiar. By 09 I was making my own servers and clients, I still have some old hard drives with cache dumps and such. If there's anything specific someone is trying to find in RS history I may be able to be of some help
RuneScape back in the mid 2000’s had a special charm to it. In a gaming world caught up in a graphics race, runescape offered a minimalist approach to graphics, and a focus on creating an expansive world of mind-numbing, cumulative, repetitive content that was the perfect escape to relax and unwind from real life.
This was the time when everyone talked about games having good or better graphics, but they still looked more or less like crap or were at least very underwhelming. I think this is why runescape thrived in the mid 2000’s. A lot of, if not most people didn’t care about the graphics because it’s not like anything else offered anything that was very exciting in terms of graphics, and it’s not like you really gamed for the graphics back then. But then so many others were on the graphics bandwagon and made fun of runescape because it looked too 2001 for them.
Man almost made me cry some of those photos bring* back some great memories of playing at my friends house who had 4 computers in his room and we would all play together great times
man those runescape wallpapers are so nostalgic to me, i remember putting them in a slideshow as my background and thought it was the coolest thing ever
its amazing how runescape has had an effect on so many people. 18 years later and we still here grindin!
Interesting, in the banks files it starts off by saying "you can only hold 30 items"..does this mean the first inventories ever had 30 slots instead of 28? and if so, could there be an account that endured the test of time with 30 slots filled with logs or something?
unreal video haha i remember every single bit of this video, pure nostalgia. thanks for making the video man
Man you got me remembering shit I didn't even think I knew 😂 thanks for the nostalgia trip man, great video!
LOL that's amazing, ty for watching!
Oh god the high/low detail just threw me back in time! Great video!
I think this is the most nostalgic video you uploaded
Great video. Saw you at Tempoross yesterday. Ty for vid!
I started playing in November 2003 on RuneScape Classic. This brought back so many memories of the game, playing with my older brother. Thanks for this so much.
you legit brought tears to my eyes and i got flooded with so many good memories from this i found this game in 2003 when my parents were divorcing and runescape got me through it so thank you so much man
The barrows wallpaper was my wallpaper for awhile too. The nostalgia 🥲
Wow, this was a thoroughly enjoyable video. So many happy memories attributed with so many of these images. FYI, the cards were available as Top Trumps. I can’t remember when these were released but I still have them.
I first became addicted to RS about 2004 or so and this was such a trip down memory lane.. I just started playing again, but to me, all these old images are what I remember from being in love with this game... Great video thank you!
Wow that login screen took me back, never thought I’d see it again. Thank you
awesome video. I remember it SO well. In 2005 i couldnt wait to get home after school to jump on rs and play!! Such amazing simple times when the games true charm peaked
Couldn't agree more!
looking at your vids now from like 3 years ago, you've improved alot as a creator! proud of ya keep it up #colongang
I remember the classic website.
I remember RS2 launch. I remember when party hats was commonly dumped on the floor.
The website is very nostalgic. Shame so much of that info has dossap, but glad a lot has been rescued.
I started playing in 2004, I still vividly remember all of this. Great video
Bro, those 2003 and 2005 clips brought so many memories back. I started in 2001/2 time frame. Was really amusing to remember my buddy and I hanging out at his house and playing runescape before school.
We'd get together and play on the weekends. Of course there was only one computer so we took turns lol
That 2005 website was the one the game used when I first started playing. I thought I'd never see it again. Thanks for this chance
Glad I could help!
I started back in 2005. I remember because I was so excited for my first Holiday event and it was the Halloween one with the zombie head and the zombie animations. So much nostalgia with this new website, awesome upload. Web 1.0 was fantastic I wanna go back.
That 2003 site brought back so many memories. This is so damn cool.
these runescape archive videos are so fucking nostalgic, brings back so many memories when me and my class mates would hop on runescape after school back in like 05/06
seeing that old merch archive reminded me when Jagex released a dragon platebody t-shirt along with the item. I haven't seen any pictures on reddit of anyone who owns "rare merch"
True! I'd love to see posts of what merch people still have.
This video was so nostalgic!! Cheers man
Always wondered why the wayback machine didn't have the RS site on it, thanks for this info!
Also damn, 2008 was when I started playing so seeing the 2009-2011 sites was nostalgic as hell!
This is such an amazing video. Thank you!
As someone who's been playing rs since midway through classic, this is quite a trip you were right. I believe the reason they throw players in random gear in their screenshots is to preserve the fun. Before everyone got hyper efficient, it wasn't common knowledge what the hell you should take to bandos. Should've seen the shitshow of kbd in his early days. So many didn't have protection at all.
@ 6:06
The old Zanaris, before they made it blue. I haven't seen that in 15+ years. o.o
Thanks for the video. Really cool to see this old stuff again.
I was a senior in high school in 2007 and some years before that me and my sister would play Neopets and Runescape after school at my mother's work in a union hall. We had to share this PC workstation that no one in the office was assigned to in the main hallway.
its crazy seeing this again. it takes me so far back!
I can't seem to find out how to visit these website links from the links in your description. I'm super curious to see all the screenshots shown at 5:02 because I used to oggle at the screenshots as a kid and it'll be very nostalgic to me but I don't understand the github link.
I've never had so many Nostalgia moments in 1 video I started runescape at the end of 2001 and that 2003 login member selection screen made me tear up
Wow your an old timer original. I started in 2005 according to HANS.
Really cool vid! Right in the feels
Runescape trading cards were actually sold in stores. I've seen some at walmart and target
Really interesting video nice work!!
Thank you very much!
I wonder, what if I went back to 2005 and wrote a story using 2021 lore and submit it to jagex for it to be in tales of the tavern
Would I be called a mind reader? Would Mark get angry?
The crazy feeling for me watching is is I was an 04/05 player who left to play other MMOs but returned in 08/09 for awhile and it felt like “forever” between the two playing periods. Now I’m looking back at it over a decade later…
This video flooded me with memories. It’s crazy how much it’s all changed.
I still have my “I brought the wilderness back” shirt! Great video man this was fun to watch.
I started playing back in 2003/2004. Thank you for showing me this video and bringing the nostalgia on. I was only 7/8 when I started playing. I don't have my original account anymore, but I do have the account I made when I was 10. I'm 24 going on 25 in September. This was so long ago. You even just reminded me that I created inuyasha based names for accounts, which I have forgotten long ago. I should try to see if I can remember those, as it will be a fresh level 3 on both games, but possibly have a 15 year vet cape.
Oh wow, the RuneFest 2010 siggy wall is a massive blast in the feels. Had that as my wallpaper for such a long Time. There was a wall also at the following RF, but can't remember if they made a wallpaper like that for it.
my heart sank watching this I almost teared up it was so nostalgic i wish i could get my og account back man this version of runescape was the best!
Cool vid man, thank you for sharing(:
Those old screenshots really hit me in the nostalgia omg
Those wallpapers and fan arts actually are still recognizable! Thanks!
great video, keep digging !
Thank you for this 😭🙏🏼
i wish they still used 05-06 NPC/Graphic looks, it looked choppy but i swear it just fits the game perfectly
That 2005 page just crushed my soul....good shit, man...wow.
The '03 Webpage just hit me with a tidal wave of nostalgia. OMG!
I am actually crying.... I miss 2009-Eoc release, Runescape 2 Golden age forsure..... Maxed account amazing community.... Perfectly released content.... I'm so sad that it only lasted 3ish years..... Bring back 2011 scape!!!!! Summoning and Korasi and all the little noobies in the thriving wilderness oh what a time in history.......
Thanks for sharing the video!!!
I don't think I will ever stop crying 😭
this videos is amazing, great job. THANKS
Thank you! :D
Seeing all those old screenshots just soothes the soul
I remember buying the RuneScape Official Handbook at one of my elementary schools book fairs back in 2007ish maybe? It was one of the few books I could sit and stare at all day, day after day and never get tired of learning something new about a game that meant so much to me at the the time (after a year or so on free to play!) Man I wish I could go back to that.
Thanks for the trip down memory land bro! 💙
No problem :D
A lot of why runescape was so mysterious were those pictures/icons they used on the website. Everything gave so few details that I had to fill them in my head. Same with how updates released. We didn't know what was coming. All we knew was every Monday (or maybe it was Tuesday?) we'd get some new content. So that alone created a mystic. Also, the devs weren't know really at all like they are today. It kept everything feeling special. While its nice to give feedback and know whats coming, not knowing can be just as good if not better. It was sometimes more fun to theories of what was coming without knowing anything. It's also how Jagex would come out with weird pieces of content like vine sweeper or games room.
I remember ALL of this. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching :D
@Colonello 12:30, the party hat shirt says "lvl 99 party animal". I got one as a gift years ago in zamorak red.
I seen most of these websites and they were some good times.
And ya they did sell the cards in the store. Bought some a long time ago. Pretty sure I got rid of it though. Along with the classic guidebook... I did keep the 3 novels they released though!
Who remembers the official website version that allowed you to use credits to unlock hints and tips for quests? It was a precursor to the wiki, but felt really fun!
That's how I did quests lmfao. I didn't know you could use 3rd part guides, or that they existed. (Then I realized you could, I was fairly along in the game at that point though)
@@FU-Utube at the time im fairly sure there wasnt much else. RuneHQ and tip.it was still unrefined and I didnt have the best guides if I recall. Or I just wasnt aware of them at the time.
This is an amazing nostalgia journey even though I started in 2008... colonello you're crying not me
I've been playing since 2001 when I was 11 years old... These screens brought back instant memories it's crazy.
Same! Super nostalgic, going to try get my account back from when I was 11
Can you access the old postbag pages to see all of the old fan art? That would be awesome! I've dug for hours and couldn't seem to find it anywhere, and jagex has removed it from their current webpage
7:00 Is nobody gonna mention the legendary player "Old Skool" with a total level of 3,598 unmatched even till this day?
He was playing Old Skool before Old School 😳
i first played RS from 2003-05 and BOOOOOOY did this takes me back. i remember those protect from melee, missile, magic prayers were something my whole class was striving for. god i miss being a kid
This version should still be around. I dont know why it isnt.
Anybody want to save the old wallpapers? I had an underground pass wallpaper I really liked and I think it came from the website, but I haven't been able to find it since. For anyone that has checked the old site out is that wallpaper on the there?
I just remembered I have those trading cards lol.. Thanks for the scraping the dust off all these memories.
mate you have just tugged at every little me's heart strings gave me tingles ranger boots used to look like fremmy boots what a game 32 and still playing now!!
When I was a kid we were pretty poor and I couldn’t get membership at home, so I used to go to the sick bay at school when you were able to ring up for membership. I used to pretend to ring my mum but really ring jagex and member myself once a month haha.
I remember when I first played back in 2001. Seeing the older pages was so nostalgic. Miss playing with my school friends.
I play rs since 2003 man this was a trip back to me beeing a kid... holy shit what a nice video! Thankyou.
