True Crime channel (1st upload tomorrow afternoon): www.youtube.com/@crimehistorian Other shoutouts regarding the video: Bluerose13x: 1st to 99 smithing in RSC days, reached #2 on leaderboard overall, potentially #1 for short bursts. Green098: in top 10 for significant portions in early RS2, was even said to have reached #1 temporarily xxphatmagexx: reached #1 on the hiscores in late 2009 Tezzjr/Miss Tree: reached #1 on the hiscores around late 2009 Corrections: *mispronounced telmomarques, corrected through text on screen. *misspoke and said "bonebreak6", the player's name is bonebreaker6 (corrected via text on screen) *I also found out afterwards in an old Zezima AMA on reddit that his name is pronounced "ze-zih-ma", therefore I mispronounced this as well *there was a player in the 2011 era that held #1 temporarily named jdelacroix. I pronounced lacroix as "la crew" it seems to be pronounced "la-croy"
Its not necessarily RS history but jagex history. I recently talked with a friend who hasnt played since the early 2000s. We cant remember the names of the games but jagex tried making other games. We specifically remember a game where u chose a wizard and had to semi platform and shoot spells at another player. Does this ring a bell? If so make a vid on it im sure itll flood peoples memoeybanks
Man I hope unall the beat and millions of dollers and a wife under 240 pounds. But rune scape history 😮... I hope u the best I could tell u about drugs and junkies
I remember seeing kingduffy 1 overtake Zezima and it being the "talk of the town" for a while whenever it would be brought up. The community felt so small and large at the same time back then. Everyone was just interested in playing to have fun and enjoy the content and shit talk while the economy collapsed lol
his old website is a pretty great archive of 2004-2006 era. He started an account and overtook Zezima within like 18 months of account creation. I think he was one of the first players to have multiple 200m skills
I remember clearly meeting N0valyfe in 2006 chompy bird hunting when he was successful achieving rank 1. He'd pretty much done all the high score stuff and was doing what we'd probably consider as the trimmed completionism stuff. This guy from memory sort of just came out of nowhere around the front page Runescape 2 high scores around 2006. Around the time I was playing the main top cats were Zezima, Uloveme, Chopperman and Liluffie88 plus Yogosun. It was a big thing back then with the older players completing big chompy bird hunting, castle wars sets, champion scrolls. It was a different time, and it was a great time to see these things that were super duper rarely seen completed. Thank you for these great videos of the past.
Would be interesting to see a detailed breakdown of the archer's ring incident on rs3, tldr a player was accidentally given a huge stack of them and they instantly because worthless
You have a really amazing channel dude. I was active in many of the communities you make videos on and I thought most of this was gone forever. I don't know how to explain the very early runescape/youtube communities. They were all super weird in hindsight.
Gratz on the branch out channel bruh! True crime stuff is huge on youtube, I'm sure that'll explode. Hopefully there's still enough runescape content to go through yet though.
I thought Bluerose13x was #1 for a minute. She was one of the first to 85 mining and was the first to get 99 smithing, making her the only person in game who could make rune full plate for a short period of time. Even if TKS was the #1 at the time, Bluerose was the most important player during early RS.
Long time fan of you man! You’re a legend in the RuneScape community as far as I’m concerned. Maybe one day you will have to make a video about yourself
i'm pretty sure Gertjaars was banned for rwt or botting. He used to have certain ranks in the 200m high scores and you can't find them these days. He was the 2nd person to get 200m crafting and 8th to get 200m ranging xp. Also 7th to hit 200m firemaking

Wishing you luck with your new content I'm subbed for the ride :)
cool videos you have, not sure why you didnt mention iron hyger here?

now we play to suffer and the economy is collapsing in real life ....wow
N0valyfe deserves a video just on him, his brief career was exceptional for the era. Dude arguably pioneered efficiency-scape
his old website is a pretty great archive of 2004-2006 era. He started an account and overtook Zezima within like 18 months of account creation. I think he was one of the first players to have multiple 200m skills
Had the chance to converse with N0valyfe while WC'ing maples back in the day.. I'm surprised there isn't already a video about that growth ✨✨
Glad you mentioned Uloveme, remember having some funny convos in the Ulove friends chat, big up to yourself reading this if you were a part of that :)
Yep lol

Thank you for these great videos of the past.
I'd like to see a video on the first 99s, first 200m in each skill, and how many 99/200ms there were per-year, in both games
Absolutely love this channel. Love all the videos! Excellent work
Love your content man. Always interesting topics.

These videos are dope man, one of the few creators I love every video from!
I remember farming for weeks at the blue dragon underneath the Heros Guild. I would sell my hides to Uloveme on their way to 99 crafting.

Great video, as always. Would love to see a video on Grapefruit the Abyssal Demon. It's an interesting story more people need to know about.
18 hours a day damn, some guys really dont have a life.

Of course a woman was the first to get 99 cooking
😂
Lmao this deserves to have 1 million thumbs up
And mining and smithing at the same time
Lmao!!! Love this
Of course some nerd said this.
loving the content
Long time fan of you man! You’re a legend in the RuneScape community as far as I’m concerned. Maybe one day you will have to make a video about yourself
I would like to add, green098, who spent most of his RuneScape career in the top 10, would ban you from his clan chat if you said salmon.
Why?
"user" was rank 1 after jebrim and before vestfold (who was named sikletrynet at the time)
4:26 Alkan da boss will always be my favourite, still grinding on multiple accounts to this day.
i'm pretty sure Gertjaars was banned for rwt or botting. He used to have certain ranks in the 200m high scores and you can't find them these days. He was the 2nd person to get 200m crafting and 8th to get 200m ranging xp. Also 7th to hit 200m firemaking
Had to have members to keep rank
ok fine i subbed since i watched the last 5
Where’d the documentary go of that weird kid? It was removed out of nowhere.
when I started playing the name Zezima alone brought aw to all who saw it
Me upon seeing the thumbnail: cat troll!
Took me 20 minutes to realise 2022 was actually lynx titan, i hate myself.
I feel like u already did this video when u made the Zezima video
good job keep it up
Did you say zezemo??? Zez..e..ma
I remember lilyuffie88 he was popular around 2006 when skychi would make videos
In the end it’s 10 seconds of fame 😢
how about the different ironman game modes?
Real ones remember xMorgan from early osrs
You have a voice for silent films.
2 of the players mentioned definitely took turns riding each other (or still do)
Another good video and without a face cam thank you. Im not a fan of your half face cam videos just keep it to screenshots please.
Stay at home mom overpowered
Rs3 players are cool and all but... why do i feel like osrs players are way crazier 🤣
Because number 2 smiting EHP? Did a number 2 on himself while attempting to get a number 1 record in osrs
Seeing swede badass comment at6:10
Zezima
Le me, locked in twice, tbh I hope someone beats him xD
I thought you were going to say "I find it extremely funny that a woman was the first to 99 Cooking" lmao.
haha girth jars
L6vi is lõvi meaning lion in estonian
[Generic comment about zezima]
L6vi is Estonian player and L6vi= Lion
Ofcourse a women gets 99 cooking first only natural
Lololol
Zezima is the #1 regardless of rank
Un subed
0.0
*Runescape HighScores means nothing.*
*The game is infested with 'Real Money Trade' and Scamming.*
*and With GOLD you can basically powerlevel almost anything in no time.*
Rip theoldnite forever alive in RS
Only reason le me made it to 200m arch and number one was because he was a dual arena rat
Still had to find all the mysteries early on
imagine claiming to be a "historian" but not being able to pronounce zezima properly... pathetic
