Well, the best year of RS post I made got me to thinking about my long history of Runescape, I will re-post it here for you to read:
2005- Being a complete noob, matriculated to Runescape from the Miniclip game "Robot Rage". I originally thought that Runescape was entirely linear and that tutorial island was what the whole game would be like, always having a set goal or purpose. Then I got thrown into Lumbridge and had no clue what to do.
2006- Dreaming of Guthix armour and a green mask. Finally achieved it, then dreamed of getting a Green Partyhat. It was probably 20-25M at the time..so much money.
2007- Attaining Green Partyhat. Attaining Dragon Chainbody at like 82 combat (& still being invincible in Castle Wars). To this day, 2007 Runescape was my most successful year in terms of personal gratification. I LOVED 2007
2008- Working towards 99 untrimmed RC cape via old school abyss (this started in 2007).
2009- Getting 99 RC, bought Blue Partyhat & Red to go along with Green (99 rc gave me like 350m, and I bought the hats when there was no free trade so they were a lot cheaper).
2010-2013: Got more 99s, dreamed of a partyhat set. Thought my goal was over when I accidentally, like a complete dimwit, traded my red by accident to a friend instead of loaning it (friend of 5+ years, knew it was a mistake but refused to give it back). Through merchanting and a good samaritan giving me a White Partyhat, I finally got a set on February 18th, 2013. Then joined 2007, where I have since made 60M+ merchanting and bought myself all of the old god armours, a phat set, and a dragon chainbody in that version of the game as well (Which were my only goals). The good samaritan gave me the hat because they had been friends with me since early 2005 and knew it was my ultimate goal, I have since made a good amount and have given a lot of it back to feel like I truly earned the set...but I will never forget that act of selflessness. It really gave me hope for the world, as corny as that sounds given it's just Runescape.
2014-2015: Increased my Runescape 3 wealth by over 15-20 Billion gp (not including my OSRS gp gains), got numerous 99's such as Slayer, got 1-88 Runecrafting in Old School Runescape (Over 500k Nature Runes made), and got a max cash stack in OSRS through merchanting/rc.
Possible goals now: 99 slayer in RS 3. 99 RC untrimmed in 07. - Update 2/12/2015 - Got 99 Slayer, have 88/99 rc in 07
My proudest moment is finally achieving my Phat set, but also the amount of work I put into it. Most of my gp came from RC when it was such a grind and insanely profitable. There was a famous RCER known as Penguin Kev who was well known for making 1,000,000 nature runes (twice, actually). We were pretty good friends on RS and would chat a lot. When he quit, as a result of being hacked, I continued to RC. I got to 20M rc XP when it was still insanely profitable and partyhats were still pretty cheap, especially by todays standards (even when accounting for inflation).
What is your absolute proudest RS achievement, 99 RC and my Partyhat set are my two most amazing accomplishments, even to this day it puts a smile on my face knowing that I did it, especially through so much adversity in game (a game infested by scammers and greedy people especially back in the older days, as reaffirmed by the fact that rampant scamming occurs in 07 RS)
