oh god, reading all these old stories bring back so much memories.
i clearly remember this, i was in grade 7, it was the winter break of 2004.
i was 12? 13? doesn't matter.
I finally got 60 on my main a week before the break.
and the whole week and my break i was wcing the yews by varrock.
Honest to god, i was on those yews atleast 6hrs a day. It felt like a life time to get 1k yews, when i did i sold them for 220gp each, yes i still remember the prices hahah.
i was saving up for full rune (g) i tihnk it was like 2m back then.
I had a good p2p friend and he told me that in world 2 fally everything is cheaper and he convinced me that he will buy the armor for me if i just gave him the money.
1 week later after i no lifed the yews, which felt like an eternity, i gathered all the money i made and gave it to him. He goes to world 2, hes talking to me still for a bit. and he just then deletes me.. and loggs..
I trusted this guy alot, he was one of my good friends, i still know his name Marlboro7.
OT: went through my mains highscores, he has fredmcgarry as a friend ahah wierd alot of players ranking in the top 10k. i just recently got my main back from being frozen since 07.
Another story is when i finally learned how to scam people by a few decent tricks, like when oak logs use to look like yew logs. you say your selling yews 200gp ea, people flock you wwith trades, all in a rush to get a deal and they dont see its oak. CRAZY PROFITS. Anyways, i made 10m of scamming and merching, which back then was a shit load (phats were 11m - 20m depending on color) i got bored and tried to download hacks, me being an idiot, i download a fucking "hack" form limewire that was named K3y L0gg3r all in leet letters, i didnt notice until i got hacked and 10m stolen gf.
oh and another one is wheni bought members from a friend for my pure , i paid him 1m, this is alot bakc in 05, anyways, 5 days later im banned cause of the visa the kid gave me to use was stolen and shit.. gf pure.
i hope that wasnt alittle to much, those were the 1st two that popped in my head haaha good old runescape days.
