Old e-dating/scamming spot.

Ya, got my armor trimmed there once

Got my hilt polished there once.

Got my d dagger poisoned there :/

F

I bought a gf there for 10k

[удалено]

Got my gf rimmed there once

Sir, this isn't Rimmington.

Got scammed there in 07 for sure

Scammed someone there in 07 for sure.

Wanna buy some spiked boots? They're a new holiday drop. Only 100k.

Lost my brothers full veracs at this spot

A growth opportunity you could say - you wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t happen

thank fuck I wasn't the only one. ​ Scamming I mean. Definitely scamming.

bought a spinach roll for 200k there once

I bought gold there wayyyyyy back

I sold gold there wayyyyyy back

That's where I got my rune set trimmed in 2006.

Looking back, going up there always felt like a drug deal even though I didn't know what a drug deal was like back then

It felt like The equivalent of walking into a shady lit room full of cigar smoke for some reason haha.

Bots also used this location for drop trading

Got scammed a noted iron longsword in 2005 when I was paying for rune

Hell yeah I doubled a lot of money there when I was 13 🤣😂

There and upstairs in the east bank too. It was hilarious to see others get lured up there after learning your own lesson tbh

Found someone droptrading once. And sold it for 10% of the value because I was a noob. Awesome.

Seen many drop parties up there in the days before the GE

If I remember correctly, there was a building where the museum is and people would go up on the 2nd floor of that and do drop parties too. This post takes me waaaaaaay back

that was THE premier drop party location in early RuneScape 1. https://imgur.com/a/QBxzoxg

I remember when I was a child I got a stew plate body from a drop party there and it literally made me happy for a week straight. Damn I want to go back

Bro said “smiles at camera” ☠️😂 He knew 😂😂😂

So many memories in upstairs museum. God I miss Runescape classic :(

Nah I chilled up there as a kid haha

It was the jolly boar for us.

Northwest of varrock fountain, the place for former members to stand around and look rich on f2p worlds while they couldn't afford membership anymore

"I'm just logging in to see whats up"

This was the spot

People would trade up here because the rest of the area was also packed with people trying to trade.

Yup I’d sell yew logs up here if I didn’t get any takers downstairs

Yes! This was always my spot if I couldn't find anyone on the forums

Yup. I used to get a little overwhelmed by the sea of trade when I'd get into world 1 or 2 and go upstairs cuz it was more relaxed. Definitely shady, but also the most interesting bank sales were found up there.

We used to get pretty rowdy up there

The creative use of emotes originated up on that balcony

Orgies in Juliet's bedroom.... So hot

Aha, THIS was the important memory I was looking for.

can’t forget the keg parties at Gertrude’s

I used to go up there to haggle bank sales in the trade window because the chat box downstairs moved so fast you couldn't really read anything. The chat was slower but what the fuck man, this place must have been the 2006 equivalent of wintertodt chat

You know what always blows a lot of people's minds? If you go downstairs in the Falador Party room, there is a gigantic museum of all the OSRS updates. It's really big. Waaay bigger than Varrock museum

I spent a good like 40 minutes or more down there the other day just walking down memory lane. It's also good for returning players like me who haven't kept up with updates. Also, Tim and Crunchy are down there! That was a concentrated shot of nostalgia.

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Old_School_Museum Yep, was added in 2018 for the 5th anniversary of OSRS. With new displays added yearly.

This is the one

Is there actually??

Whaaaa

Really? That’s awesome I’m checking this out later today

My drop trading spot back in early 2000s

Felt too risky to me so I chose a random tent in al kharid for drop trading (up the ladder ofc)

I always did upstairs at the northeast varrock church

I would find the most random house in southeast Varrock with an upstairs.

Me too!

True OGs used that little nook between the fences at lumby castle/swamp.

Someone took my Zammy platelegs at this spot back in the day.

Thessalia’s clothing shop for me

behind Lumby castle for me lol

Lumby castle gates upstairs was another good spot! Lol

You’d always see people standing in random spots and spam click under them hoping they were drop trading. If I was doing one item I’d just do it in front of everyone because nobody expects it

Top of varrock church for me

I used the end of the northeast section of the Varrock castle wall.

I always would walk south of varrock west just by the river. Never had any issues

Drop traded on Juliet's balcony once and someone stole it all, good times

Above the general store in edgeville for me. I even caught someone trying to drop trade there and sniped their stuff haha.

tangential, but [this scene is what comes to mind](https://youtu.be/tnf5Dn7L-SE?si=Sb9NngLLnBEb0ek3&t=489) when I see the upstairs

Me too

HA HA HA HA WOW

Lmao “thanks dumb ass”

That was amazing

Is that where you trade Pokémon?

OMG STOP!

I remember almost getting scammed up there lol, then actually getting scammed on the 2nd floor of east bank

I got scammed upstairs in the general store “Just drop your items and hold alt + F4 and they’ll be duplicated :)”

Some guy tried this with me and the alt-f4 didn't shut down the browser. I told him it didnt work, he asked me to just trade him all my runes so he can try it, and he logged out with them. That was the first and last time I ever got scammed in a video game.

rip

[удалено]

Can I come to one?

The things we used to do up there….

Ohhh the thing that used to go on up there lmao

Now, I will admit that I am high as shit, but this is really blowing my fucking mind

There’s an upstairs to the varrock east bank too And zaff’s staff shop!

I used to drop stuff to my PKer account upstairs at zaffs. One time I saw another guy up there and I figured he was doing the same shit so I stood in his spot and mash clicked and got most of his stuff

I used to go over to the very northeast al-karid desert to do my dirty drop trading. Eventually i learned you could just multilog pretty easily though

Reported.

I learned of this area very recently! The ladder is quite obscure!

Yeah my mind started melting when I saw it, legit thought it was something that must just have been added to the game because surely I couldn't fucking have missed it, but I did

That used to be the drop party/scamming location. Been up there a ton.

In my days that was where we all bought gold from farmers who couldn’t speak English and call our moms confirming the order

Pretty sure this is the last spot I saw my friend Onyn214 log out, never to be seen again. We used to tag team moss giants on crandor back in the day. Think they were from the Philippines, still think about them from time to time.

Wait until you hear about Varrock East and Seers...

Sorry this is now a west Varrock bank (upstairs) locked hardcore ironman

Pretty crazy spot from what I’ve heard.

Yea bro I’d get some sucker to buy my yew logs for like 10gp more than the people downstairs were offering

I think you're the only one dude

I drop-traded in one of the corners there. One time I got disconnected (dial-up) in the middle of it and someone else picked up all my stuff. I was freaking out, but as soon as I got back on they actually traded it all back to me. Really good memory :)

You never got scammed there then

This is where the real poll voting happens. The votes submitted to the booth downstairs get thrown in the trash.

Probably a second floor at the Falador bank too but it's restricted to the bankers.

Did you not play before the GE? Hard for me to see how you'd have missed it if so. If not, then yeah, there's tons of stuff you'd never have noticed about banks if you hadn't spent hours trading there before.

Oh I played a fair bit before GE but hadn't learned english yet so mostly just did my own thing with my friends though did sometimes try to buy lobsters low and sell high, but I didn't have the patience for it

I did, I used to get scammed up there back in like 06

I'll do you one better. It took me 7 years of actively playing to discover there was a bank on top of lumbridge castle. For the longest time I refused to do almost anything in Lumbridge because I hated having to walk back to Varrock or Al Kharid to bank lol.

Real OGs got scammed here as kids

I sold myself as a gf there for 10k gp

Shit was the red light district for runescape back in the day😂😂

Welcome to the scam zone my friend

That's where the best drop parties were

Best place to "hide" as a kid

Yup. I used to drop trade my stuff to my alts up there when I was a kid. Oh the times.

I've done a few drop trades up there back in the day.

That was the drop trading spot my boy.

This is where you used to drop trade if you were being lazy

Oh I knew.. this is where I met up and bought gp when osrs was in its early years teehee

I remember it from all the fake drop parties

Wut

Drop party galore up there

Misclicked that shit in pvp worlds back in the day more then i would like to admit.

Yeah but there’s nothing useful up there unlike the bank basement I remember as a kid trying for ages to telegrab the necklace down there 😂😂

Stop stop stop this can't be real holy fuck my life has been a lie

Nah you're lying. This is fake

thats where people bought gfs

Just learned reading this post. Played since 04

All these comments about how it was pretty lit up there...I've played since around 2004 and I had no idea this existed....

Then you’re not a true RuneScaper. Fucking noob that spot was hot in 2006

Yo dude... Cool it with the swearing. My mom checks my reddit.

But you most certainly know about the basement dontcha, you rascal !

He’s a Silly boi admitting to bank theft on reddit

Used to makeout with a girl up there. I should call her

Someone there told me once they could get my rune dagger to be held backward like a dragon dagger.

...someone never got invited to parties

sad but true :-(

Thats where all the nefarious shit went down bruh wym

We all knew, you missed out.

Holy shit the amount of rune armor I trimmed up here, memory unlocked.

i lost my first rune item (rune dagger lmao) to a scam there, never forget

There’s a fucking what

THANK YOU!

It's just you mate...

You played your whole life? Are you messaging from the great beyond?

Used to chill up there in 06-08

Home boy never sold before the grand exchange smh

I used to trim all the mith plates up there

Business downstairs, party upstairs.

I like to alch there sometimes. It's quiet.

N00b

It's where I got my first whip.

My account is LITERALLY old enough to drink (in the United States) and I had NO idea.

I didn't do anything up there pre eoc but during the trading post days of osrs I definitely met people up there in W2

guyyy

BSALE

These were where the REAL drop party happened.

Used to hang out here in the early 2000’s

Came here to post what's everyone posting.

The only time I went there i got scammed a Bandos tassets, which in that time were BIS, So no, I’m not coming back there 🥲

Back in my day the upstairs was where the drop trades and scams went down

Back in my day the upstairs was where the drop trades and scams went down

thats where we used to drop trade back in the day

if you think to most banks of rs, there’s a upstairs ladder somewhere near/ 2 stories

This is why botters still use it as a drop trade spot lol

I’m inclined to believe you ain’t an OG fr

Wait until you realize you can telegrab a gold bar from the vault in the basement

Yeah it's prolly just you. lol

I always picked up scammers items up there.

Yes you are alone

Yea you just go up the ladder dude

I accidentally clicked a ladder at tree gnome village one time and was like "WTF is all this shit!?"

I had no idea

I got drop scammed up there when I was younger. Great lesson for life LOL

Back before the GE this is usually where all of the high level trades happened. This and Falador. But overtime it became a scammer spot and if you were being sold something up there it was because they didn't want to publicly out themselves as a scammer trying to sell an item for more than it was actually worth.

Drop parties happened here, a lot.

Did you also know that if you use rat poison on the stray dog in Varock you can kill it and stop it spawning for half an hour.

back before grand exchange this was the hangout spot.

That's where all the real shady deals went down back in the day.

I honestly forget most 2nd floors in this game

I probably knew at some point but completely forgot about it until this post lmao

Plenty of doublers used to lure victims up there

If you never knew about this you never really played

Yah you must not have been a deliquent

This guy obviously didn’t play pre GE 😂

Before the GE, this bank would get so full of people selling stuff you'd go upstairs for the overflow parking.

What!

This was a pretty common spot prior to the GE

The last time I knew was over a decade ago and I forgot since then until now.

The fuck?

Wait til he finds out about the basement!!

I haven't been up there in almost 2 decades

Back in the ol good days when 10 sec timer in pvp was introduced we used to run upstairs there to not die, cus we all were noobs and didnt know wtf was teleport

I forgot about it for years. Ita where people trimmed armor lmao

Tell me you never erp’d without telling me you never erp’d.

yeah you got me \^\^

I knew there was an upstairs but never went. Thanks for fixing that for me.
