Quit RuneScape in 2009, and stopped playing completely.
On the 17th December 2012, yes I know the exact date, the same friend that referred me to official RuneScape back in 2006 came to visit me, as he lives in a different country. We started reminiscing the old memories of RuneScape that we had as kids in school, and all the funny times, so we booted up our laptops and logged into our old accounts.
By this time, EoC was in full effect, and I played this for 2 months, up until February 9th 2013, when I thought to myself, "wait a sec, I remember when I used to play RuneScape they had RS Classic available to older players, maybe there's an older version of RuneScape available that I could play".
Obviously there wasn't, so I then had another thought "Well, I remember before there was something called MoparScape, maybe there's still a replica of old RuneScape on there". I'd never, ever played Mopar or any other RSPS before, so this was just a complete guess.
I typed in MoparScape, found the forums, but found nothing interesting, so I typed into Google "RuneScape Remake".
Quite a few came up, the first one I tried was SoulSplit, I also tried BattleScape, but none were perfect replicas like I wanted.
Eventually, I came across RuneRebels, probably around 2 or 3 pages into the Google's list of pages.
Typed RuneRebels into YouTube, saw some old videos that were made by "Gravified" and some other videos, RiiPiin was in some of them also.
Signed up, logged in, and never looked back, loved this game and have supported this game ever since. I may not be active in-game all the time, but believe me, I don't go 12 hours without looking at the forums at least briefly.
