Someone - David David - 01-06-2009
Needs to create a GOOD oldschool game. I haven't played an oldschool game that gave me an amazing original feel in a while with lots to offer. It's apparent that games made with Mirage at the current moment or current people, are just making the games as a hobby and not really to attract players. Even when people do make games that they want people to stay for, they usually last a day or two. Have any of you played Runescape classic before Runescape 2 beta? Or Tibia, if so and if you liked it, you remember the warm feeling you got when you used to run home from school to get to a computer to play it. All i'm saying.
Make your own version of a downloadable runescape classic or tibia with active administration.
Then I'd play. ALOT. I know that i could get a team together and do it myself, but i mean. Do you realize how long it would take? I mean look at my current project, were making an isometric game from scratch, it's been like 4 months and we just have something online for GMs. I'm talking to people that might know people. Make something like it happen.
Not only would i download it, but the people that remember how fun and popular it was? You would definitely bring in LOTS of players.

I LOVED RSC. My eye sight is -3.75 just because I used to sneak on the computer in the dark at night just to play it.
And yes I loved the feeling of running home just to play the game. It was the best feeling besides thizz.
Re: Someone - David David - 02-06-2009
Yah, RSC was definitely a fun game.
If someone wants to help me make a game really oldschool like that, with the same system that would be cool.
When i was going to school I'd sit in class thinking about RSC lol, i was so addicted i had dreams about it. I'd just grind. Then i got banned so i started over. Now i have a level 3 RSC account. I kinda want to start playing again, but only 64 people are on..

I would be interested in running a RSC server
Re: Someone - David David - 03-06-2009
Runescape was the only game i was ever really addicted to. I played it for like 8 years or something. It just got boring after a while. I didn't really have alot of friends in Classic, I'd just PK. But everyone would turn on you and team you.
Re: Someone - GIAKEN - 03-06-2009
8 years?...
My Dark Giaken2 was made in Classic in around 2002 or so and I still have it...Runescape was only made in 2002?
Re: Someone - David David - 03-06-2009
RSC was around before 2002 i believe
EDIT: Also i was just throwing a number out there, might of been less then 8 years that i played.
Re: Someone - Tony - 03-06-2009
Yeah I remember being in first grade when playing it.
