I'd heard about it in early 2003 from some of the people who were older than me in primary school (in America its called Grade/Elementary School I think, but here in the UK its called primary). My brother kept saying don't play it and said i'd get addicted (he played lol). So in late 2003 I started tutorial island but I couldn't work out what to do lol so I stopped and in early 2004 I tried again and managed, I slowly started playing for a long time, I got addicted and just played so much and levelled. In like late 05 and 06 and early 07 I started pking, runescape youtubers started emerging at that time and I was inspired by people like TehNoobShow and Zezima and pkers, to get into pking and stuff, at this point I was like combat level 91-ish on my main and then on cheat-engine (I used to use trainers and stuff lol) I found the runescape section and discovered RSBot, that got me into the botting community and from then I quickly levelled and maxed my account did quests etc. just generally had fun. I used to play with my friends since like early 08, when they quit. I think the nostalgia etc. and fun times were so fun because of, for one, the friends who motivated you and you played with and in 07scape, since all my friends have quit its hard to find motivation etc. but i'm thinking of getting back into pking my account is still a noob though lol.
