By 2006 there were so many people following Zezima around in the overworld, that when he clicked on the world to move, it took ~5 minutes each time for the game to visually move to that tile, it was all he could do to move in game when it was happening. People would make "search parties" at Lumby who spread out around the map until they found where in-game Zezima was training at the time or gave up. I expect Elvemage had a similar problem once it started happening to him, where he couldn't even do anything in game for all the lag from people following him. He could no longer do the one thing in game he enjoyed the most-- go into the wild and find a worthy opponent. Which is probably a large factor of why he started openly luring.

The story of my account is the most early 00's ever. When I was in 4th grade I started playing RS. I was pretty bad and did not really understood anything. A guy that was 1 year older then me was really good and he had done Dragon Slayer (which was a big deal back then). He offered me his account in exchange of 2 Yu Gi Oh cards (a blue eye and a fake gods card, can't remember the name). I got his account and I would wear rune plate and green dragonhide. He had some stats in the 40's! I still to this day play on the same account that this guy "sold" me!

Love the content! I remember when I finally got an account with similar stats. Felt amazing. I do have to disagree with what you said in regards to him being an average pker at best. During this time there were no F-Keys, nobody even came close to being able to pull this style off in members. He became big because he was a pioneer of bridding and one of the best at it during the time. Great content man!

Personally, I agree: I think a lot of people who claimed he was average in 2009 went by 2009 standards and not what was available in 2007. Though I do think there would've been better PKers out there, considering recording tools meant additional CPU usage on already not so powerful computers in 2007. Some of the top shelf ones likely didn't feel the need or could record and upload videos. I am however a documentarist and I go by the facts available to me, and they say Elvemage was average, so that's what I have to showcase :P

However if we both decide to pvp it's different. In layman's terms, pking can be anything from a Mexican standoff to an assassin backstabbing and killing you. It doesn't have to be honorable if you know what I mean. Pvp is more of an "honorable" fight. Pking is just straight up killing another player character whether they're ready for it or not. Lol.

I remember the famous defence pure D3filed who got outed for posing as a girl. I remember Slayerbelle, they had a dope skiller and one of the coolest alt accounts ever.

Omg mini clips is we’re I remember playing RuneScape

I like how the intro frames the early 2000s as not having pc games. I had a flash drive with halo and several dozen snes and n64 games that I'd run on school computers in middle school, around 2004. We had a 16 player lan party in my study hall every friday for the entirety of 9th grade. Flash games were just cheeky fun in a different way. If anything, the ignorance of adults back then made it easier to play games.

Listen, I had hours of enjoyment at the school library playing that skiing game where you'd flop your mouse about and try and do flips but mostly just crashed.
