I'm still mad about it. And not because I thought I was going to be rich; I didn't even get into osrs until after all this happened. I'm mad because it ruins the entire thing that made holiday rares special. They are prestigious items to show off your wealth; the "I'm rich" equivalent of a skillcape. Reducing them to the level of a frog mask is like letting people wear skillcapes at level 20. Party hats used to be the most iconic item in the entire game, and now they're just another piece of random junk you can buy for 5k on the GE.

Other factors also played a big role in saving the game, such as the addition of free to play and bonds in February and March 2015, respectively. Although it’s still quite impressive that the game lasted 2 years up to that point with such a small dev team and Jagex expecting it to fail within 6 months (according to Mod Mat K).

Mod Jacmob (Gouraud, his personal rsn) was VERY against OSRS and said itd never work or be popular before it got polled etc, he was even spreading his stupid opinion around the Jagex office before it was decided to be worked on.

I actually remember participating back in the J Mod party hat drop streams back then, it was pretty fun. I do reminisce a sort of nostalgia for 'vanilla OSRS' in a way, I didn't play the game back in 2007, I didn't get into a particularly high level, but it was pretty fun. Was without G.E, so I sold rope for 1-5k GP at the Catherby bank.

I love that clip of kreeara killing everyone in gnome stronghold

I would love to see more things like this where they drop random items across the world you can randomly find. I love the treasure hunt aspect of you never know what you'll find on your adventure.

Awesome video. Definitely hits the nostalgia talking about all these old rares. One thing to note. Scythes actually dropped in RS1, not RS2. I still remember killing cows in Lumbridge as a fairly new player and having no idea why they were appearing everywhere on the ground back in '03. To be a kid with no responsibilities in middle school again 😅

I remember the initial release of old school as just a junior in HS, i was at walmart with my mom and we passed by the video game section, she made a comment about seeing a runescape membership card and offered to buy it for me. That day when i got home i played for almost 14 hours straight and remember grinding cow hides to make my first 40k to buy a yellow partyhat, the cheapest at that time. I wish they would have kept rares rare.

And I'm usually not super nostalgia driven, I've played for so long because I believe it's a good game, not because of nostalgia from 2nd grade, but that event with the phats running away brought back some memories.

Hells yeah! Glad to hear holiday event items are still a thing! I just came back to the game a month ago and restarting from scratch since apparently my account was hacked and reset back to tutorial island.

the rares now happen to also be very useful. tbow/shadow both very expensive. in terms of solely for flexing you still have things like the 3rd age pick which is like 4b, and other 3rd age items that essentially just flexes. granted they aren't quite the same as hat slot rares, there's not really a way they could even implement them in. rs2 rares were discontinued items from years and years prior, way before the game even exploded in popularity. if any item like that was made obtainable now for a limited time, they'd be farmed in mass because we have the retrospective of rares in rs2. im sure if it was possible they'd do it.

@cheezitza9639

MMOs like OSRS are solved games--meaning we know how the game works. Even if they introduced items that were going to be discontinued, they would be horded so much that they'd be worth absolutely nothing. Unfortunately early holiday items being worth something was lightning in a bottle. I don't think you could reproduce the "awe" of it, period. MMO culture is a different beast now, and has been minmaxed so hard, that nothing like early OSRS/WOW/GW1 will likely never happen again.

I remember getting my hands on some party hats very early on, and I sold them while they were still valuable. I was probably around level 10 combat at the time, and I already had 1m. Definitely made the early game a breeze which I didn't mind too much.

I ended up finding 6 pumpkins total within the first few days of the drop, sold them all for like 20m and helped jump-start my account, it was an interesting time.

Been playing for 6 years and never knew the history of these items lol

Wow I never knew about that April Fools event despite all the videos out there on OSRS. They should really do more stuff on April 1st like that for fun

I remember rare hunting for weeks on different livestreams. Pole/soup and ao many more

I terracing video, as always! I do find the initial concept of having rare tradable items as clue scroll rewards, though. That way, rare items would have maintained some form of monetary value. A missed opportunity, perhaps.

I'm trying to get my account back (Last time I played must have been before 2010). I got the bunny ears. Would this mean if I logged into runescape classic I wouldnt have it anymore and only on the new version??

I remember killing green dragons and a red party hat spawned out of nowhere, sold it for 2m on zybezz which was a lot back then

kinda sounds like GWD was Goku and the holiday items were the rest of the Z fighters - they were just buying time until the real hero showed up

I got a Scythe on my RS3 account. Had a phat back in classic but was dumb and thought they'd drop in price so sold it.

Remember this like it was yesterday I was training at rock crabs and a Blue H ween spawned picked it up and idk why but my 1st reaction was to tele as fast as I could to the duel arena because in my mind thats where all the rich people were and I ended up selling the blue for 6m cash

Man, the release of tradable rare items set my account for life. Following the release of partyhats, I made around 50m buying and selling sets in 2/3-weeks. It was far too easy.

I wish I was around to acquire any of this stuff years ago

I swear I remember having a scythe in RS Classic though... Like back when it was just RuneScape.

Whenever talking about OSRS history I think it’s important to talk about the “Runescape Puritans”. I was a part of this group and there were many others too. A large portion of the player base had a terrible taste in their mouth after we felt jagex ruined the game we loved so we essentially wanted RS as it was- nothing more. I voted no on pretty much every poll back then if it didn’t exist in 2007.

Honestly? Rares on the rare drop table is kinda fun.

Jagex didn't want to to admit that the best thing for their company was a 10 year roll back of their current IP, because that would mean they have wasted billions on bullshit ideas.

I remember the April 1st thing

I think one of OSRS' problems is it's quite daunting for new players. It's extremely expansive and the vast majority of the game is quite the grind, and with most of it being locked behind a membership subscription, people on the fence play a little bit and see it as buying a membership to work

Holy shtttt Syndicate streaming Osrs is a takeback

They should have made from a 1/10000 from everything lol

if osrs didnt release i think jagex would have bankrupt by now

I logged into osrs to kill goblins to buy a phat from the ge for 21 gp. That shit isnt possible in rs2/rs3. Now I can say i own a phat for the first time in my 16 years.

It just makes it way harder for the "Yes's" to actually win and also makes 1 yes vote worth less then 1 no vote and that isnt fair.

Lol Froggen rank 1

If they did the same thing I don't think it would play out the same way, the reason they ended up so expensive the first time was because nobody expected them to have value. When they first released the original time everyone had dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of each type, they were so common that people would empty their banks of them for space and just let them disappear. The second time people would hold onto them no matter what, and in the end everyone would have the dozens, hundreds, or thousands they managed to procure.

no support from "upper management" . how about put some responsibility on the devs? They clearly didn't explain well enough what they needed to upper management. But can't blame devs cause that makes you look bad when the devs are the ones that are likely the bad ones and not upper management.
