Your Runescape Origin

I started when I was 15 (7 years ago).

My friend introduced me and helped me out when I first started, and told me how and where to train and what to do etc.

About 2 years after I started he quit and went on to other things, although we still keep in touch and I tell him how much the game has changed (he wasn't around when RS2 came out, he had already left).

I left for a few months when I became 18, and when I came back my account password had been changed!

So then I made a new account just before RS2 came out (approx. 6 months before release), and refused to switch over to the new version and persisted with Classic. After a while I just stopped because there was no fun in Classic anymore, it was simply like a Ghost-world.

So I left again for around a year then came back, made a new account, and this is the one I use now...I'd say I have been using this account for around 3 years now =)

I still remember when RS2 was released...your bank items were automatically transferred across to the new game, and if you didn't like it you could switch them back to your Classic bank using an option in Account Management (Although once this was done it was irreversible so you had to stick with Classic or basically start afresh in RS2 with only your levels in tact).

Your levels were also 'copied' into RS2, and if you gained any levels in Classic from then onwards, it wouldn't transfer them over to RS2.

It's so weird to think that back then we had half the skills we have now, half the items we had, and less than half the world we currently have!
