My experience of Runescape in 2006

Ten years has done nothing to RuneScape gold weather this monster.

In spite of all the upgrades, slipping back to the same old regime of milling resources and sprinting to the closest bank to market them is seamless.

My experience of Runescape in 2006 was mainly this: mill for hours, purchase a few shiny new gear, smash keyboard upon realising my combat level was not enough to equip it, grind battle levels, equip gear, get murdered in the Wilderness, lose shiny new gear, replicate. Every month or two I'd decide it was time to start a new account, motivated by a few specialist build I'd seen or an inexplicable urge to live a simple life and become some sort of fabled hermit. Honestly, 12-year-old me thought that would be a fun thing to do.

Logging into Runescape is like coming home to discover your parents have gotten a brand new dog without telling you, and they absolutely refuse to state exactly what happened to your beloved Brassica Prime. At first you might sulk and long to get your dog that was, but soon enough you start to notice that the new dog is gorgeous when compared with its haggard predecessor. It does all kinds of cheap OSRS gold new tricks, it has character and charm, heaps of endgame content and doesn't need to be fed or walked often.
