The Beginning
Runescape Classic was first introduced to the public on the 4th
January 2001. It was made by Andrew and Paul Gower, and after members was introduced a couple of months after the launch,
they employed more people to form the company, Jagex. The idea behind runescape was Devious Mud, which was released for a
week-long beta to the public in 1998. More about Devious Mud can be found here. Runescape Classic constantly had a peak number of 35,000 players. This was not due to capacity
problems, but merely because it was a relatively unknown game. The servers were quiet and often empty, but when you did
meet someone, they were very polite and helpful. The "classic" community was completely different from the more open community
of today.
