Remember when you created a new character and were in lummy and EVERYONE was a new player just like you!
Remember when people claimed they were Jmods and that you had to give them your pass?
Remember when it was really hard to get Adamant armour and you could be proud having the full set.
Remember when you filled a inventory of cow hides and sold that 150gp ea in a bank? and got 3k for it?
and finally.. remember when you could see red dots on the minimap and they could be cool stuff people dropped.. (i remember in late 2005, recently after i started, running to all the red dots on the minimap checking if it was something worthwhile) (in 2006 I found a rune axe on the floor and was really happy!)
Remember when the Scimitars actually looked like Scimitars?
Remember when you had to walk to Al Kharid and make 10gp to get a Steel / mithril plateskirt? ^^
Remember when a group of players would call items that a near dying player would have, and then everyone would end up spam clicking on the items anyway.
When I played the game because I truly wanted to have fun, not because I felt obliged to level up.
When I was proud to where armour that I made from scratch.
Gaining so much respect in the Fifth grade for having 22k.
Seeing other players magically getting the items below the bank in Varrock and thinking how rich they must be.
Remember those amazing things called unids, that you'd buy to attempt to get XP? Also, as well as that, avoiding people scamming saying the unids were level xx ones, when they were really low level, but they had 1 herblore -.-
