If my 10 year old self saw that I could play old school runescape like this, he’d probably have an aneurism. I love revisiting this world. It’s a time locked piece of my childhood, teenage years, 20s, and then some.
I remember spending hours collecting wood. Freaking out when I figured out how to bake a cake, I spent an entire weekend collecting the ingredients.
I’m nostalgic to the early years, the game barely ran on the family Compaq computer, that clunky big beige CRT and ball mouse. We only had dial up, and my parents didn’t like the phone line being tied up all the time (you younger folk, dial up wouldn’t allow you to use the land line phone and use the internet at the same time, and we didn’t have cell phones haha). So I would get up at 4am on Saturday to log into the dial up internet and start loading runescape. It would take 2 and a half hours to load, I’d go back to bed and wake up at 7am and play for a few hours before my parents started waking up.
The worst part was if you walked to a new zone or city, the game would have to load for another 2 hours! 🤣
Yeah… I look back on that fondly.
