      I've been dealing with anxiety lately (due to some diet changes, nothing dangerous) and randomly found this video in my feed again. Completely melted the anxiety away and helped me get to sleep. Thanks for the video. I would love to see an update, maybe once we get Sailing! Big ask I know, this kind of video must take a ton of work.

And thank you to Runescape for providing me sanctuary, lifelong friendships, countless hours of fun, and escape from a hellish beginning since '04. I'm lucky I got to grow up in Gilenor.

    You deserve to be imortalized in the Varrock Museum for creating this historical informative video essay; as a player in 2001~ at the age of 5, now playing since 2019~, there's is almost literally no collected information developed between when I stopped playing in around 2005 (because it was "not cool") and now. Between "Best in slot" gear and huge milestones I have to earn in order to "play the game" I've felt lost as a "new" player and this video really helps someone learn the game literally from the ground up.
    Bravo!

    I've played this game since I was 12 (currently 27). Idk why but I almost cried numerous times while watching this video, it just brought back so many memories of my childhood and teenage years, to early and later college times. I remember when so many of the things mentioned in the video actually occurred in real life and I could also think about what all was going on in my personal life at the same time. Imo, this is the best overall game ever made. I have learned so many things from it over the years I have played, and enjoyed every second of it. It is definitely a big part of what has made me who I am today. Was my second time watching this vid just btw 🙂✌

    As an on and off player since November 03, thank you so much for making this. This was a complete walk down memory lane that's irreplaceable. People don't often understand why when I say how important Runescape is and was to me because it taught me most everything I know about macro economics, stocks, programming, and the human condition. Growing up with the childhood and parents I had it was instrumental in forming the person I would eventually become since it was near impossible to develop real world relationships. I listened to most of this video with my fiancee and broke it all down for her too. She played for like 1 year but never got into it like I did. That's enough rambling though, thanks again for putting this effort in and making a solid tour of the timeline that I can share with my old rs friends.

      @@SAGGING_GUT I'm glad to see someone with the same views as mine. Soul wars, shooting stars, neither of those belong in osrs. And don't even get me started on the ezscape that is tempoross (80k xp/hr?!). :/ also, jagex has been ramping up the frequency and severity of unpolled updates, including content which has nothing to do with game integrity. And that's furthering the feeling of osrs turning into rs3. If you're interested in a video discussing the dangers of unpolled updates including the blowpipe/dhide nerfs, I'll be uploading a video about it on my osrs channel De_Void in a couple weeks.

    The golden era was for sure 2005-2008 Legends where made like Zezima. I still remember some of my friends from world 7 top left of Varrock square even though I've not seen them since that. Cola turk michaelababe Rich and many more!
    Runescape Truly is a phenomenal game to play. So thank you to the Gower brothers (especially Andrew) for making what essentially was their childhood imagination into a reality I'll never forget anything about Runescape in my life even if its 50 years down the line. I could picture these cities and areas better then I can my own city I live in. Great video and outro, Learned so much I had not known about Runescape history.

    I got really giddy when you got up to the year I started playing.. (late 04-early 05) This was such a trip down memory lane. Thank you for this. I stopped playing Runescape after EOC, and recently started playing again on OSRS. I can't believe it still holds up!

    25 years old and wow I’m at my seat like I’m 11 again man have you hit some nerves. This video was beautiful, it’s like I traveled back almost. I’ve had-almost nothing constant in my life except RuneScape. It brings me so much joy, and almost like A sense of security and yet I’m still clowned for playing this game until this day lol - I know only other RS’ers understand but this game really is something special. I’m glad it survived and thrived as it did. It deserved it.

    Makes me feel like I’m 6 years old again, sneaking into the computer room late at night to play RuneScape while I should be sleeping for school. Thank you for the nostalgia trip!

      i loved the computer room haha! my dad would leave for work at 5:30am, and i'd start school 5th grade up the street at 9am... but i'd set my alarm for 5:35am so i could play for hours before school without my dad thinking i'm insane

    Genuinely appreciate this video. Definitely the LONGEST RUclips video I've watched. My first time playing runescape was back in 2003 before the over haul. Stopped when summoning came out and came back in 2018.
    The community as a whole appreciate this video. ❤️

    Really glad to see OSRS still doing great, and seeing RS3 on the rise again after so many years of bleeding out is really heartwarming to see too. Great video.

    It is insane to see the footage from 2001, and to my surprise, SEE MY USERNAME IN THE VIDEO. What a blast from the past. I feel strangely old now.

      Yes no other game had so much of my time than RuneScape. My gaming before and after RuneScape has totally changed. I was not a gamer after I was done with RuneScape back in 2000-2005. Many rage quit, frustrating game changes and deleting all my characters at random time I would never play again. I was aware they updated the graphics (now it’s called old school RuneScape or classic). It’s not the same game I used to be obsessed with.
