It was freedom, the game used to be about using your intelligence and bonding as a community to complete tasks. Also being proactive and creating a better experience for everyone but of course this opens up opportunities for exploitation so Jagex comes down with Jupiter's wrath and splits the community in two thus killing RuneScape.
Also real world trading, that help?
The trading made a great not controlled economy. So like people would sell cooked lobsters at fishing spots for a cheap 150gp, while at a wilderness spot, you could sell them for 350gp each, just because people need it. Now Jagex basically controls the economy.
The wilderness was a spot that everyone could enter and you could kill other players in it. It had a special system though, there were level 1, 2 etc till about 60 maybe. On level 1, you can only attack people that are 1 level higher or lower than you. So if you were level 70, a level 69, 70 or 71 could attack you. The deeper you went into the wilderness, the higher this level got.
Once you attacked someone, you got skulled. If you're skulled, a skull appears on your head and if you die, you lose everything you have. You don't keep your 3 best items.
There were also no gravestones, so people couldn't retrieve their stuff. Instead, all your stuff got dropped.
We used this in the wine of zamorak scam. Maybe if you're familiar with the wine, when you try to take it, you get attacked by a bunch of zamorak wizards. You could trick people into telling the wine was worth a lot of money. They'd try to take it, and they'd be attacked by many mages. They'd try to run away, but you could close the door very quickly each time he opened it, so he couldn't escape. Eventually he'd die and we'd take his stuffWhat was so good about the old wilderness in runescape and free trade?
ahh the good old days.
The Old Wilderness and completely open, when a low level entered the wilderness, you would be jumped, and killed instantly by higher levels, there was no level limit, it was every man for himself, and people liked that factor.
I quit after Free trade ended. the New Trade isnt the end of the world, but for the older players, it was absolute hell. Your friends could no longer give you 5 mil for the hell of it because they were rich and had nothing else to do. Farming things were easier. meaning you could go do something and sell it for a rip off price and get the money for it. You could help lower levels and give the armor, and weapons. It was simply because we liked giving and taking free stuff.
The Game used to be better..but...things change
Well, vision this, a dude with full dharok calls you a noobs.
You say, come pvp and say that.
You go pvp, take out full vesta and pwn him
Woah 12 mil just for that. EPIC.
wilderness would be useless old wild is like you cannot run till you get 3 hits and then you can run if u get cough you cant run for another 3 hits. and free trade just more keyloggers crap scams and so on. nothing good...
well you could get stuff for pretty cheap and also you could have pvp in any world and it would be up to you to go over there and fight
People still play that?
