Do any of you know what it is like to lose your entire bank full of resources, rares and other items?
As a matter of fact I never once used a bot in Classic and played from April 2001, when the RS2 item transfer occurred I was quick to switch them back to Classic when it was offered. I played RSC faithfully until about 2006 when the plague of bots was too much to bear on a daily basis. I had run through RS2 on a fresh account to relive my the moments in 3D. By 2008 I had amassed a large wealth of exp and items on both versions. With Classic being in the state it was I had moved onto a few different servers such as the *cough* beloved *uncough* RSC-A and even dabbling in RSC-E at the same time.
Both servers had over 1,000 hours of my dedicated playtime and both of them were wiped.
I had always held resolve feeling as if Classic would forever hold my compiled efforts for me to revisit at my leisure. As most of us know on the 6th of August 2018 the live servers were taken offline and the total of my efforts and resolve were gone with it.
I'm sure that I'm not alone in the impact of that single loss.
In sum: I personally have lost everything from resources, rares, exp, and most important TIME and FRIENDS. I also know that I am not alone and in the sorrowful happenings I have found shining examples of the resilient community left behind in the server/staff of RSCrevolution.
Please do your best to enjoy this community for everything that it is, because you won't be finding another one like it and a vast majority of us have held a similar feeling as you're portraying here.
We'll have you if you'd like and I don't think anyone has the right to ask much more of the community.
EDIT: LOVE LOVE LOVE the filters for other server names! <3 another reason I love RSCr!
