Talk:RuneScape Classic

To play the older (and better before fatigue) version of RuneScape, go to http://www.runescape.com/ and scroll down to the very bottom. Bottom right hand corner and 'click'. -- User:CannedhamX 04:15, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

However, if you haven't played RSC before, or haven't within 6 months, you will be blocked from playing. Also, with the interface change, it is now on the bottom left side of the main page.

You will also not be allowed to play if you aren't a member.

Tone
This article, especially at the bottom "There were others but they escape me at the moment" is not in the tone of an encyclopedia article. I'll try to fix it in a few but am quite busy right now. geekygator 21:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Stub?
At the bottom of this article there is the stub notice. If that is not relavent then could someone remove it?

I'd say it's still pretty stubby. The information is incomplete, there are no pictures.... Think there should be a lot more done before the stub is removed. --Avian Maid 02:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Pictures
I have access to RuneScape Classic, albeit on an extremely low-level account; so tell me, what pictures would you like to see? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 09:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * :O I need pictures of every weapon/amour in Rune so I can purple-ize them to allow people to see what the original purple rune was like! 17:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

ARGH~
A while before Jagex made RSC members only my next door neighbour was RSC dating this girl who's brother made the autoer that screwed over RSC. She gave him a couple Halloween masks, because her bro charged RS items for the autoer. He later sold them for 4mil each and bought me and him 2 sets of rune each. The next day....they made RSC members only. Exactly 6 months later I finally became a member and tried to log in, only to find out about the 6 month rule. I MSG'd Jagex asking them to allow me access and they wouldn't listen to me :( 17:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Interesting................
It appears RSC got an update sometime today, as i am writing this. There was a sticky on the RSC fourms about a "reboot" of the servers. Maybe someone could check it out and add more info to it if nessacary? They said on the sticky they had to fix the friends list because it kept disappearing for some reason.--Pkthis 23:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What makes you tihnk it's anything other than what they said? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  23:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The graphics
The graphics on RuneScape classic are different to the RuneScape 2 that we have now. Its like a drawing that a beginner drew. The houses were like they were coloured by a program on the computer. Thats a example of the graphics. Thats the end of the graphics paragraph, update it if you have some infomation because I haven't even played on RuneScape Classic, but i've watched videos and seen pictures. --81.104.241.23 23:00, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Peterlinux81.104.241.23 23:00, 21 February 2008 (UTC)--

Incorrect Statment
"When runescape classic first began, it only had Iron Steel Mithril Adamantite." When it was first released RS1 had mithril as the highest armour. Adamanite wasn't realesed till a few months in, Runite even later.

Talk-to
Should it be noted that every monster in RSC had a Talk-to option? Lord Rapter 05:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. 02:40, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

The bank

 * Also, since only one player could talk to an NPC at any given time, using the bank in crowded trading areas was very tricky and was very time consuming.

I don't think this is true, someone verify this.

It's true try checking any Youtube video or any Jagex release information about Runescape 2. 65.87.45.79 03:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This is why there are several copies of some NPCs so that when people were doing quests they did not have to wait. -- 13:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

One-sided Statement
"It has been said that when someone says something offensive, it would be filtered to say 'Cabbage'. Many people are ranting in the Official Forums to bring this back, and almost every person is supporting their ideas." This is an obvious one-sided staement. For one while it may have once been filtered like that, for some time Classic has been filtered with *'s instead of cabbages. I looked at the rants forum and found nothing of this kind or on the suggestions forum on the first few pages. I found few people even mentioning cabbage on old archive forums. 65.87.45.79 03:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed, I have an active Classic account (I don't play on it, or even have any levels; I just keep it active) and I have not seen 'cabbage' as a filter for a long time; or on the forums for that matter. I even went to an empty area and began cursing in attempt to find a cabbage. Anyways, the statement should be removed. E.T. Prod U  ( Talk ) 16:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Omg! it said 'USED TO use cabbages as a filter!
 * Your point? -- 00:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Used to, meaning it doesn't anymore.
 * The cabbage filter was faily short lived. Andrew wrnt though several incarnations of filters before settling on the ancestor of what we have now. One of the word filters was one which was a whitelist and anything you said which was not on the whitelist was changed to a similar word. Of course 99% of usernames are not real words so it very quickly became a complete mess lol. -- 07:49, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Expanding on what mercifull said, initialy, there was absolutely no filter. Later, for a short while jagex implemented 'quick chat' in a very poor manner where the server would harshly filter anything said, and very often mangle things very severely to the point of incomprehension. Sentences like "wat minin lvl r u djman23" would be substitued only by 'approved' words, or similar, the result being "Hello box fishing tuna dance" or something equally bizzare.

Server Status & Hiscore's Table
The original server status showed ever player online, the amount of time they currently were on and the total time logged in. Here is a screenshot dating from Mar 2, 2001. During this period the only way to find out the 25 top players was through the newsletter. http://koti.mbnet.fi/hohtava/vanhoi/030201.jpg

This was changed toward the end of March 2001 to a new look that included the top players in each skill and the number of players currently logged in on to a specific server.

After the server status was elimitated JageX implemented the top 2000 for each skill. This was the 1st hiscore table available in Runescape.

Following the top 2000 list the now searchable hiscore was implemented and is pictured below. This has been expanded and updated numerous times since its implementation.
