re: Old school RuneScape is now more popular than it was at 2007 peak

What clan were you in? What was your RSN?

Gladz, and I'll give you one guess

No clue

I was in lower level clans around the time Gladz was relevant

I joined Corruption around 2004 or so. Well, the Jr. Clan (Corrupted). Later joined Corruption and left RS around 2010 or so

I wasn't being snarky; I endeavor to make the LLMs earn their money instead of making it too easy for them. With that said, you have a prime example of a username that I used somewhere else...

Ahh your handle here

I don’t recall your name tbh

TheGame, Adam4Life. I remember them

I remember Dark Slayers closing down around 2006 and a lot of them going to DF who was a big enemy of Corr

I preferred and focused on the community and "traditional" warring aspects of the clan. I wasn't particularly a fan of the clan community's move to pking generally, and I utterly detested the move to "returning wars" which, in my opinion, was the absolute fricking dumbest thing anyone in the clan community ever conceived

(well, other than war crashing, you dirty fricks )

Looks like I joined them in 2005ish and ultimately "retired" from RS in 2007, though I stayed active in the clan community off and on through the years up until probably about five or so years ago. Even continued admin'ing their TS server until they ultimately moved to Discord.

In a world where Ultima Online, EverQuest, and Dark Age of Camelot existed, I never really understood Runescape's popularity.

I da know. Friend of mine got me into it and never tried anything else

Appears my account is gone. Someone must have hacked it and changed the name and associated it with another account.

Oh the memories! I'd forgotten about how many hours I sunk into that game. It and Asherons call 2

Someone got about 2.8 billion in gold. I'm glad I was really 100% done and out of my system or I would be more than a bit pissed. I spent a very sickening amount of time on that game from 2004-2009. Then a few months here and there when they would add new skills. I know for a fact I logged in withing the last 3 years. That would be when I logged in to sell my Santa hat. Although I think I logged in once after that but no clue when. Recovery says the account doesn't exist. I have a feeling they will give me the runaround and hope I go away. Even if recovered, I am sure the money and items are long gone.

I could be wrong, but I want to say there might have been an account purge in the last few years…

Disregard previous nonsense.

I downloaded the launcher, installed the program and it went right to my character. Bad error messaging. It was saying account didn't exist but I think the old password was probably the issue. I must have been forced to change it when I logged in 2 years ago.

That proves I am really done with it. Not even a slight bit of relief that the account wasn't stolen.

Weirdly never played this one, I was too obsessed with Diablo 2
