    Hello Rune-Server,

    My name is Trytohaxme aka Eddie, I haven't been around for quite some time.
    I literally logged in, came straight to 'General Discussion' and made this thread.

    The last time I was on this forum must have been at minimum 7 years ago?
    Honestly, I'm quite surprised that the site was even online at this point. I can't believe Runescape servers are still a thing.
    I come from a time when the only revision was 317 and we were still working out how to make full screen clients.

    It's absolutely amazing to see how far the community has come, I can only imagine what can be done now of days.
    I don't have a clue about anything RS related anymore, my life has drastically changed since..

    I recently just turned 29 years old, I have 2 children (boy & girl), purchased my first home and automobile.
    I live with my wife who was just released from the hospital after a month long stay due to a ruptured brain aneurysm.
    I'm officially 5 YEARS SOBER and couldn't be more proud of myself. (You can read about it here - https://www.rune-server.ee/general-d...w-journey.html

    Anyways, enough about me, how's everyone else doing? Whats been going on, anything new and exciting I should know about?
    I just wanted to make a quick thread to say HI, hopefully some guys from back in my day are still around.

    P.S - Can I get veteran status now, it's been like 15 years now

    Veteran Usergroup Requirements

    - Veterans must have a registration date of at least 2006. There may be some exceptions made, however they are very rare and circumstantial.

All of the people Kevy made vet from 08 were active throughout the vast majority of r-s. The vet requirement getting progressively further ahead in time kinda defeats the purpose of a rank created for people who joined near the creation of the site anyway

    I agree, however exceptions aren't *that* rare. OP actually has more activity than one or two of those new vets in that thread.

    Just goes back to a previous topic of conversation: vet and RM should be removed or completely overhauled.

    I'm okay with Vet because it only symbolizes the fact that you joined around when the community first started. That's all fine and dandy (so long as the requirements don't magically keep changing, otherwise forget it) but yeah, RM is completely pointless now lol. It's still never been explained how you're able to contribute enough to the forums/community to get recognized with a rank, but you're somehow not respected enough for the RM rank.

    But really the redundant RM is only evermore redundant because another redundant rank was added, it just wasn't enough to give people who contribute a lot Respected Member we needed a whole new rank!
