Damn imagine looking at RuneScape today and saying to yourself “I created that games first adamant hatchet… and they. went. wild.”

Nick was super awkward and they met IRL but they had no idea what to talk about so they just played RuneScape together. I still find it funny.

She was such a legendary beast. Great to learn about her history. And unlike most stories, this one wasn't exactly had good or bad ending. She was extremely successful and just faded into obscurity naturally as the game progressed. Now my head-canon is that indeed Runite is cyan blue because of her. Thanks for the insightful video. Quality is awesome as per usual.

Bluerose called them "new" runes because all the non-elemental runes were added late May 2001 as a magic rework. Huge expansion to magic skill that also removed "EvilMagic" from the skill tab and merged with GoodMagic

I remember I used to follow her ascent to 99 smithing when I was in primary school, every day I would write in my school notebook what level she was lol.

I remember when rune was released. I think I was 11 years old. some guy walked up to me at 2 oclock in the morning on a school night. I was so tired, it was like a fever dream. he told me that his buddy found a medium helm that was cyan, from a demon. I thought to myself: "yeah right"

2001. Aged 11. I went to my friends house, who introduced me to Runescape (Thank you Simon). Not only did I not have the internet, I had no idea you could also play online with other people. I don't recall how long it took, but it wasn't too long before I some how got a PC and hooked up to dial-up. Ah, the endless complaints my mum got from her friends saying they can never ring the house because it's always engaged. This was so long ago, I was reported daily for being a level 3 in the mining guild, people really couldn't fathom a level 3 mining adamant.

Blue: strongarms the community by demanding absurd amounts of wealth Community: funds other miners Blue: surprised pikachu face

I forgot all about blue rose. Everyone like hard remembers Zezima but there were a few huge names in rs back in the day

I was a little lemming of LadyKillJoy. So many big bones collected for her.

As a 2005 veteran, it’s interesting to find out the history before RuneScape 2. Keep up the videos

Kids yelling at each other over pixels looks at osrs looks at grown men yelling at each other over pixels lol

People used to wear rune longs without a shield and pretend it was a 2h

1:57 "Best [girl]friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes."

I love hearing about these things. It's a weird history, Runescape has.

Shoutout Colonello for the quality videos. I don't even know how you find all these things to even make videos about, I long forgot about most of these people/events.

"They didn't know what to talk about, so they just quietly played Runescape together instead" Relatable

I was around in this era and have many memories, you could have done a whole segment on the rune battleaxe. It was the smithing exclusive BIS for quite some time. I pked my first rune 2h a few weeks after it came out and later lost it and ended up buying my 2nd rune 2h for 3000 nature runes+materials. nats were 2k each at the time meaning that weapon cost me around 91 max cash stacks

This is a super deep video, but I might use the word Monopoly instead of Cartel, since technically she wasn't really doing any wrong, but rather had a dominating business plan making use of her available assets and other players' demands to achieve greater wealth... and magic. Really appreciate colonello doing this video, I had seen her name back then but never knew this incredible story
