Fully expecting to get called a nerd for this...But does anyone else play? I played throughout high school and then left for a few years.  Recently a friend of mine said they released a version of Runescape as it was in 2007 (the hay days!).  I hopped on and have been messing around, tried playing the newest version but couldn't get into it.

Anyone else play currently or in the past?

Wait a minute....they brought back the old wildi???

I used to play but haven't for a long time.  The game went down the toilet the more updates that they made it.  The graphics were shit but the older one was the most fun.  








Oh and NERD!

Oh hell yeah, it's awesome...The more updates they rolled out the less I played.  I started way back in 2001 and played on and off until they released EOC when I completely quit.

Damn I might have to give it a try again.  I think I started back in like 2002.  Sold my account for $300 so I'm glad you have to make a new one for these "old" servers

One cool thing I did notice about EOC is you can buy bonds to use for membership rather than paying cash.

EOC is the "newest" Runescape. I think it might be RS3 now, but it stands for Evolution of Combat.  As far as I can tell it's when Runescape started to go downhill and lose lots of veteran players. Completely changed the dynamic of how the game is played.

Gotcha.  The last thing I recall was them changing the animations of the attacks.  I honestly like the game when you couldn't make it fullscreen and the graphics were terrible.  It was simple but there was a lot to do

It's a poor mans WOW basically.  I refuse to pay $15 a month for that game so I've never played it

yea and it allowed so much more people in open pvp then diablo..didn't even cost anything(d2 needed a cd key/cd to play)..man, I had a really good pker twink in 2004 or so, had protect from melee spell and a very high ranged skill and everything in high 20s if I remember. There was an altar in the wilderness where about 20 bones would spawn and you could just make circles/train ur prayer skill as a level 1...by level 10 you would have 50 prayer if it was the only thing you trained. I can only guess those bone spawns are removed as well as the altar because I read they re-designed the wilderness a few years ago

that toon was an archer....man , that class was so braindead

I don't suggest buying wow, they killed the game with cataclysm by removing a lot of content/simplifying it to the point what a toddler can be good@ it

..buuuut~with that being said

new xpac coming out really soon so id give it a try, there is still a trial by the way now it is infinite you don't need a friend's invite to get it either and it doesn't last 10 days

I started playing RS2 back when I was in 5th or 6th grade (2002ish) because my friends would talk about it incessantly at lunch.  I got sick of not knowing what they were talking about, so I created an account and could soon take them all in multi-combat.  Still have the original account and log in occasionally when I'm really bored.  Just can't get into the new stuff and don't want to pay for the 2007 version.

Can you PVP like you could in old school Ultima Online?  Can you loot the other players corpse and take his stuff?

There is a portion of the map that is PVP and yes if you kill them you get to take their stuff
