"The past 10 years have seen RuneScape grow and develop at a phenomenal rate and today's game is testament to the continued content, graphical and technological updates," commented Daniel Clough, VP of RuneScape. These will only be available in RuneScape Classic and so, very soon, will no longer be obtainable. RuneScape creator Jagex wants you to see, first hand, how far the game has come in 10 years.Īs a history lesson reward, explorers of RuneScape Classic can collect the Classic Cape and Classic Hood. You'll need to log in between today and next Thursday, 29th September in order to gain access. I suppose we'll never be able to get back to that, in it's purest form.The original RuneScape Classic will be reopened today to celebrate 10 years of the incredibly successful browser MMO. And that old community was a pretty small group of folks (even before my time) compared to the total population of account which exists today. But the social dynamic, like you're saying, will always be the same: people hanging with people and just having fun enjoying one another's company. But did the game improve? In terms of function and operation, sure. And it's funny, my buddy hasn't come back to the game since, although we found one of his old accounts and he saw the game today briefly and said the exact same thing "RS got prettier". Even back then in 2001 I joined just because my buddy was playing, and it was fun just hanging out. Perhaps that's just my personality (some folks aren't people folk, right?). I enjoy this game so much more with other people. At least that's what my nostalgia is telling me. RS got prettier, more complicated, and easier but I'm not convinced it ever really got better than it was when everyone played RS classic ?.

Though I never really played Classic servers after they came back because, well, most of the fun of the game is playing with other people, I'm still sad to hear this. In any case, I hope these players are able to integrate back into the main game.

Then again, I suppose if you enjoy playing this game things like this shouldn't matter. It would really suck to have expended all that energy and then start back from square 1. Hopefully, with membership carrying over, these effected players will be able to have their character stats transferred as well (can't see any indication in the article which suggests this anyone?).

After such date, it will no longer be possible to log in to the game.

"The RuneScape Classic servers will be taken offline on the 6th of August 2018. " It has been amazing to see such dedication amongst those of you who have kept playing RuneScape Classic over the last few years, some of you have even managed to reach max total! However, it's not all fun and games."
