First Impressions of Runescape.

First started playing around my GCSE's (mid-2004), so I've never played classic. Died to a scorpion and two black wizards in quick succession, but then some really nice guy gave me free full adamantite & rune 2h, so I kept playing. I still remember my outfits:

1) Chef's hat, black wizards robes
2) Full iron
3) Full adamantite, iron kite and scimitar
4) Full adamantite, rune 2h
5) Found that was too slow, so went to full adamantite, rune scimitar and iron kite
6) As 5, but with a steel kite (woo! )
7) As above, but replaced the adamantite helm with a green haloween mask
8 ) Bought an adamantite kite
9) Uograded to full rune (inc. kite), but kept haloween mask.

And that's where I am today - haloween mask, runeite plate, kite & legs, and rune scimitar .

the graphics sucked!
So did the character controls(walking)

Some friends from school kept telling me I should try runescape, back almost 4 years ago now, and well I didn't like it at all when I first tryed it, it was boring and the graphics were really bad. But then I did eventually keep playing for a while and got up to around lvl 45 combat i think. But then i quit for a very long time.

Somehow almost 2 years later, I stumbled upon the runescape site to discover my account 'mike12088' was still there and I still remembered the password to it. So then I began playing again and completed dragon slayer and then rs2 came out into beta, at first I didn't like rs2 and thought rsc was better still but when it fully came out i switched my stuff into rs2 game and continued playing.

I was a member on another runescape fan site, and I started working on a dynamic sig for myself which was hosted on my own computer at home (so it was really slow when it was completed lol).

It was then I became a member in June 2004, and started work on calculators for my own personal use because the site that I used to use skill calculators from were to slow at updating their calcs for rs2 (6 months later they still didn't have them all). Later that month Shane became a member of runescape (which surprised me, I didn't even think he liked runescape) and he convinced me that we should make a site. He designed the layout of the site and we got rsbandb started up.

Oops I'll stop there, i went a little overboard
This is a topic about first time rs impressions. And some of my sentences are run-ons...

I actually started with RSC in my Digitools class. A lot of my friends would be playing it next to me and I'd constantly watch them over their shoulder. I felt left out because at the time Runescape is what was in. I had no clue what Runescape was. I decided to try it one day. I played for about a half hour on RSC and I quit because I could not stand the graphics. I really wish I would've played back then, then I'd be rich from rares . Some time later, I forgot, I rejoined on RS2, which was a big improvement. This has been my one and only character. When I joined, few people were still playing at the school, so I told a few people around it and now they play too, some people including Prophet54, Icy Nirvana, Strokeschick, and a couple others in case anyone was interested. And a little while later after that, WoW came out and that lost quite a few of my friends who played Runescape. Their accounts are still active and they still play it from time to time. WoW may be the thing that's in right now, but I'm sticking with Runescape (Just because I'm far too poor to buy WoW let alone pay the monthly membership).

My longest post ever... O.o

dont worry little man i wont desert you! ill be F2P for eternity! lol
