Oh man.. So many memories. I wish I could go back in time.

Anyone have pictures of the old god armor, around 2005 timeframe? I loved saradomin.

I sometimes log on 06 servers just to look, not even to play. The memories it brings back. <3

lol, I remember accidentally hitting the red portal and losing my guthix set and rage-quitting. Kinda funny now that I look back, I could purchase dozens of guthix armor sets with what I have left in the game, but back then when I was twelve it made me cry to lose 4 months or so of hard work haha. But yes the old sara armor looked legit, a tie between it and trimmed black armor (not gold, the silver trimmed :).

OMG dat login screen jake <3<3<3<3, sad times to remember how great the game once was before it turned to Sh*t. However I think jagex get too much blame for it, at the end of the day xbox and playstation are the main gaming platforms (inb4PCFTW) and it took alot of people away. However, on the other hand jagex should of adapted quicker (made the game with even better graphics and made it more of a mature gamer's game), it's evolution I s'pose, survival of the fittest ;)
Don't get me wrong they did try to adapt but it was too slow. And now the games dying out.

Gah, now I'm nostalgia-ing all over the place… reminds me of back when we called it RS2.

OMG the nostalgia, especially the braziers with the fire that changed colour. I started playing when the login looked like that. The world select is also familiar.
*sigh*

This person was actually pretty wealthy for the time:

I had about 12m total gp during that time span, and I felt very very wealthy :p

I just hope Runescape brings what the game use to be 3-5 years ago.
