History


Hello, I am AoS Wannabe on this wiki. I started playing RuneScape since 2002, a few days before Easter Eggs were dropped (I guess I got lucky there). I have since played on and off, but recently I've been drawn back into RuneScape. I started RuneScape with ambitions to become like some of the best players in RS like The Old Nite, he was one of my closest friends in RuneScape Classic, I was devestated when he died and was then later hacked. After that I quit RuneScape for roughly 6 months, then later came back and started merchanting, and became a predominant mercher on the forums and in RuneScape, I had close associations with many great merchers like Phat_Shock, MissPhatGirl, and Proton. I became bored with the game and started playing other games like World of Warcraft, Gunz, and Halo. I later returned to RuneScape to continue merching and training my skills. When I came back, clan chats were becoming more popular so I joined some private merch clans but decided I was better off solo-merching, and since then I joined the Army of Saradomin, I enjoy the clan and the people that are in the clan. = )

My RuneScape Success
Like I said above, I started when Easter Eggs were being dropped, I was unaware that they would become so valuable so quickly so I only picked up 4. Later in October for the Hallowe'en drop, I became aware that these objects could never be replaced and one day they would be worth a lot, so I picked up 3 sets of H'ween Masks; and during the Christmas drop of 2002, I was sick and was only able to pick up 2 santa hats. At first I kept these items for personal pride and the fact that I was holding a piece of history was very gratifying. Later, after a few years of merching, I totaled 1.6b in gold pieces alone (all from merching), and that's when Partyhats started to decline in value, I jumped on this opportunity and bought Blue, White, and Green Partyhats. As of now, I still have my 4 easter eggs, and I do not plan on selling them, 1 santa hat and a Partyhat set. I am planning to buy back a Hallowe'en set soon, but I am currently waiting for the prices to go down. Wish me luck!



Clan Chats
The_Old_Nite- At this time there were no clan chats so we used Internet Relay Chats (IRC) to talk to each other, I was one of the few Ops in the IRC. The_Old_Nite was a very good friend of mine on RuneScape Classic and he was at the top of the Hiscores throughout his RuneScape career, he even gave me a Pink Partyhat (purple now) when they were the most expensive Partyhats in RuneScape.

PM Inc- After a long time of going solo, I was invited to one of the foremost Private Merch clans in RuneScape at the time. Mod MMG, once came to our clan and said that we could completely destroy the RuneScape economy if we wanted, but we didn't want that. In total, our clan massed over 10 billion gold pieces and over 75 billion gold pieces in street worth, from only 10-20 people. PM Inc (short for Private Merch Incorporated) was known as one of the few uncorrupt merchanting clans, the users of this clan decided beforehand exactly when to dump items. This clan was started by a group of merchants from world 42, the original clan chat was W42 merch but that account was banned for advertising, then they decided that public merch was too risky so they started this clan as their private merch, they invited only the most famous merchers of the time. This merch clan was different in that no sole person had control of all operations and instead was run as a co-op of around 20 people, this worked well at first but after a while everyone started leaving and started doing solo merches for quicker cash. The clan died last year.

AoS Clan2- My current clan. More information coming soon.
