Im just gonne say it. If osrs didn't release, runescape in general would have been a thing of the past for several years now. 100%

2011 was also the year when all RS videos on YouTube were getting copyright claimed

Over half of the player base was bots you say? What exactly has changed since this statement still stands today?

OSRS thanks you for taking the hit RS3, like an older sibling.

Yeah, these were dark times for RuneScape. I remember them well. As much as I hate mtx, it did save the game.

It is true that the lack of bots made a lot of resources scarce hence expensive I strived through that but EOC (first to comment it in '24) was the final straw even for me... The simple OSRS hp and tick-attack system is so old that it had become unique, special attacks and switching comes as a natural technique and makes the game skill-based, although RNG-dependant

I made a lot of cash thanks to that Nuke. I bought as many items as I could and sold them off 1 week later for a lot more. And I did the same with the campfire update. Bought 40K magic logs and sold 30K of them on the day of the launch, made a good profit, and used the other 10K myself to get 99 Firemaking and enough charms for 99 Summoning.

I started in 08… i had no idea this was happening…. Or even any of it actually… your account has brought so much insight into the player base and many glitches I could’ve tried. Cheers

3:04 I really wanted that Vorkath one, but the bloody shipping cost is literally more than the price of the figurine, which is completely outrageous to me, even if it's shipped from america to europe.

22 years of playing runescape and playing through all of these events its heartbreaking to see (although not surprising) that so many updates that negatively impacted me were solely because of money

That loyalty program sounds like World of Warcrafts trader’s tenders.

This video had me listening so intently I left late for work…😂 great video, I was one of the players who quit because of the squeal of fortune. Really interesting to know If it wasn’t for that dumb wheel I wouldn’t have a years play time collectively on my osrs accounts. So end of the day, thanks squeal 😂

Very happy you have been uploading so frequently, can you interview any of the mods like Shauny did? That would be amazing

Weirdest thing is, now feels like that time in 2011 where they didnt ban people... Bots are everywhere. I feel like they are still banning bots, but not to the level they were before in order to keep that shiny 200k playercount for investors since theyre selling the company

Amazing I started around the downfall start. School and bored. Game was the perfect interest for me. And really, the squeal wheel showed me how bad the odds are. Made me immune to rs3 treasure hunter and gambling 😅
