Next month it will be Runescape's 10th anniversary, believe it or not. On 4th January 2011, it will have been 10 years since the Runescape classic beta was first released, since then Runescape has evolved into the game we play today. I guess that Jagex will probably do an event or something at least, to commemorate the anniversary.
I'm sure many of us on here would have been playing Rs since it was first released, it would be nice to share some stories on here about when you first discovered and started playing Runescape, and also what you think was the worst and best updates made to the game in the last 10 years.
Here's mine:
In 2003 or early 2004, I Googled "free online gamez" and found a link to Runescape (classic). I registered an account and played for around 2 weeks before becoming bored, due to the extremely repetitive nature of the game.
Sometime in 2004 after the release of RS2, I went onto the Miniclips website and there was a page which had Runescape on it. I registered another account on RS2 and played for about a month, after that I stopped playing for ages.
In late 2004 or early 2005, I came back to Runescape, albeit with a new account, as I had forgotten the password to my previous one. This got me really interested in the game, and I've been playing pretty much regularly since then. Although, I still have 3 or 4 months hiatus every year, mostly to keep membership costs down and because I get bored of playing too much.
The best updates that I think was ever made to Runescape, was RS2, the G.E (I still kind of dislike it, mainly because it messed up the game's economy) and summoning.
The worst are the RWT updates (removal of wildy, free trade and staking), the climbing boots update, and finally the old bounty hunter.
