not quite, i was only a moderate fan compared to some.

Like those noobs with maxed stats?

Did you mean Zezima?

Where is page 78?

Well Jagex realized that they forgot to add Player killing so all the books in the market got burned since player killing was the only fun thing in RS anyways.

Ah, ok, I get it

Zezima isn't maxed noob. Neither is Gertjaars, I think.

Why? Did he quit?

The first edition was printed with 89,500,000,000,000 pages. After destroying nearly every tree on the planet, they realized that it contained no player-killing zones, making it absolutely pointless. Furthermore most of the beta testers died of boredom. This attracted the attention of Jagex (and the cops), who bought out the game for a large sum of money, and developed the online version. After much sweat and tears, RuneScape was born (not literally of course). The website was created, the first accounts were made (the first being 'Fred'), and the first n00b was pwnt. More importantly it featured an unexciting combat system, several tedious skills, and graphics that were mostly drawn in MS Paint. Success for Jagex! The boredom research side of the project was handed over to Cambridge drop-out Andrew Gower, whilst the developing team, formed from the dregs of society, continued to add more boring features to keep players bored for even longer.(Oh joy...)

In 2003 boredom research reached its end, and the results were profound. Players were showing unusual resistance to all the boring quests and skills. They didn't seem bored at all. In fact they even seemed to be enjoying it! This allowed Jagex to keep going with the game, in a way that they could have their cake and eat it. They continued to receive research grants from the government, but were also raking in huge sums of money from paying players. This paved the way for new research, as Jagex began to develop a new game. Work increased at a rapid pace. Firstly, and most importantly, the game's graphics were revamped into glorious 2D, hailing the arrival of RuneScape 2. Behind the hype surrounding the release were more sinister purposes. Gower wished to see if the demographics and economics of an MMORPG were similar enough to Real Life to use as a testing programme for Communism. The old version is now called RuneScape Classic. It is still played, mostly by 43-year-old virgins. Jagex now claims that the old game does not exist.
