    My first ever runescape friend was Taco75, back in 2006-2007. We met at the cows in lumby, added each other, and never spoke again. I don’t know why I’ve remembered his name all of these years, but if you’re out there Taco75, I love you and miss you bro. I hope you’re thriving and in good health.

    Castle wars was absolutely my most nostalgic places for me. When I was like 14 my best friend from school and I would farm out quests and save up for items just to go play castle wars using them. I’m 32 now and still remember those times

      Sameee, when I was like 9-10 years old I went there on my level 5 account (i sucked and never even bothered training combat haha), my account was Blue Frog53 (still my account to this day, with a new name ofc) and the people in cw found it funny that a noob like me was just tagging along for the fun, so several times I amassed a team of protectors who kept me alive at all cost, and I was able to smuggle the flag by having them escort and protect me haha, castle wars is my fondest memory from the 2006-2007 era for sure :')

    I’m glad I enjoyed OSRS in its golden year of 2006. I played a little when the GE come out but I fell off very shortly after. Just started again 4 days ago, joined the OSRS Discord, and immediately received help, guiding me in the right direction and about the OSRS wiki and how helpful it is. The server even has a bot that automatically detects what you’re talking about (if you want it to) to link you to an article in the wiki regarding said topic. Everyone in there is super helpful and incredibly nice, and not afraid to throw a little classic “free armor trimming” style humor in there. I love this game and its community with a passion.

    Obligatory nostalgia comment. But damn do the memories flood back seeing classic RuneScape. I started playing this back in 2001. I remember running to the library during lunch to get on one of only the 4 worlds available(accounts on the same network couldn’t be on the same world) a top 2000 leaderboard, which was super easy to get on, had all of the party hats at one time, one of which I sold for a rune medium… Man those were such good times. I use to sit on a computer all day playing RuneScape, now I sit on a computer all day playing work. 😞

    Run Escape is what I i called it when I first found it in 05 because I i only knew about it from my cousin who wrote the website on a piece of paper for me. I didnt get to try it out for another 8 months, so i was looking forward to playing Rune Escape for almsot a whole year 😅 I had my official start not long before the 06 Halloween event, and ill never forgot how awesome it was.
    The Mr Pugger music choice while talking sbout bots sent me flying 😂
    I remember loving the run energy restoration and the tool bag, but left after eoc, of course. I was there to vote for the wildy back, but left shortly after EOC. I forgot how soon after they polled us for OSRS. It felt like FOREVER to me. Didnt start playing osrs till the mobile launch and i love what it grew into. Wish i got to start earlier both times. I didnt realize how new certain things were when i joined up. Thanks for the video!
