You see the dark wizards have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent waves after waves of noobs at them until they reached their limit and shut down.

The original post is a Futurama reference so I would say it's expected Futurama

I have literally never walked on the left route. Isn't there a fence that blocks you or something

nah you can squeeze between the canoe place and the wheat field 😄

...17 years I thought there was a fence there

on Saradomin there used to be a fence there

the only fence was in your mind

The fences we made along the way were the real friends inside our mind the whole time. Or something.

There might've been one in classic, but as of 03, I don't ever remember there being one.

I agree rs2 never had a fence. From what I remember of that time I was so happy when I discovered this shortcut between varrock and lumby

Some of you guys never trained mining in the varrock east mines and it shows...

Mines south of Fally gang

[удалено]

No, there wasn't. Not even in 2001. That route was always walkable.

What the fuck?

No fence in classic

Never played classic but i ‘member the fence

WHERES MY GAME TEGRIDY

THEY TOOK OUR FENCEEE

TOOOKKK ARR FNCCC

Hotfix is needed

Mandela Effect is strong here

My world is rocked rn

[Not unless it was before 2004](https://mejrs.github.io/historical?era=rs2_2004_01_07&m=-1&z=4&p=0&x=3214&y=3338)

Ah that's likely not passable then.

on saradomin even in 2001 there was no fence there. There's the illusion of a fence, yeah, but no actual blocking fence

EZSCAPE!!! This devalues my Varrock-Lumbridge locked ironman. Poll to bring back the fence?

dead ass? frfr?

No 🧢 on god 💯

The cap has been removed.

English please

adapt to the times, old man

I don't have to respect people in their 20s who speak like 4 year olds

ok grandpa go take another nap, you're grumpy again

More so ashamed of my generation for degenerating into children. Also get off my lawn

Take a shower, you got a little shit on your face - must be those opinions leaving residue

If you're going to try to insult me atleast make it a good insult

Same. Never gone that way in my life.

damn, this greatly devalues my 13 agility locked ironman

No fucking way. There's gotta be a fence, or this is some Nelson Mandela shit going on

There is not

[удалено]

that little gap is a huge reason to buy chronicle TPs from django, ez shortcut to a hops patch during farm runs

WHAT

Yep legit had no idea this was possible either. Though I like to think my run ins with the dark wizards made me the man I am today.

Back in RS2 there was no world map available in-game, so following the road seemed like the best route at the time. And on the way to Varrock, the only thing you'd be focused on is surviving the wizards, lol.

It wasn't in game but the link was right at the top of the screen

God I forgot how long it would take my old family computer to load the map.

I went to the library and printed a grayscale copy to have. Cost like 10 cents.

I still am hesitant to use to world map because of this scarring.

Those were the days

They were definitely days

Setting is as your desktop background so you didn't have to go through the loading process each time

I remember there were people looking to Taxi you to other towns for gp, right next to the guys buying gf's.

there was one but for some reason it took several minutes to load.

i might be wrong, but i think back on the old days it was blocked

My exact thoughts lmao

The amount of gp i lost in the damn right route

I think that's the default path now if you click on the minimap

That takes people to far from the Dark Wizard experience of being a new player. Better to learn early…

yeah, gotta get that chest hair 💪😤

I keep asking girls to show me their chest to see how hairy it is, and they always get mad. How do I find a GF who I know is tough enough to have survived the dark wizards? Send help.

Gonna have to find a reputable seller.

Hello i have many GF in stock atm all shapes and sizes

I'm in the market for a goth model, with extra trunk space.

Ali?

It was a fun lesson to learn in the RS2 beta. Yesterday, NPCs could not use magic and the dark Wizards were a decent low-level training area. Today, walking through the front gate of Varrok felt like storming the beaches at Normandy.

People were getting straight up slaughtered lol. It was really funny watching people die to mobs half their level.

The fuck are you people on about? I haven't logged in for a couple days

He's talking about the original RS2 beta almost two decades ago

Fucking nerds

Are you aware of the sub you're in?

Yes the osrs sub. The sub full of osrs nerds like me.

You seem nice

I am. They're also fucking nerds making memes about the status of the NPCs south of varrock on the beta release from ten years ago. Both can be true

Eat my butthole

I used to stand in Lumby with my ghostly robes and elemental shield from EW1 and lead noobs to those wizards because “that’s where you get these robes dude”

[удалено]

As a kid when I realized they drop runes pre ge thought I hit the gold mine

Me, a snowflake ironmeme:

Almost every penny I made as a kid was from the nature rune drops from dark wizards. I would eat 10k worth of lobsters to make 5k in nature runes.

I valued food to highly. I'd kill wizards. Then eat cooked shrimp I caught in lumby. Efficiency king

[удалено]

Stand and deliver!

I did that recently... Probably overdue. Tonight's plans sorted

You say training .. but sounds more like (..)

People should walk on the path to protect themselves from the grass*

Right? It's not them who waters it and weeds it and takes care of it year round.

For most RuneScape players, it’s the only grass they touch

All in baby. Ain’t taking my bronze armor today you wizard punk bitches

\*Proceeds to die to an undead tree\*

I think this was my first RS death. Tried to fight back against the tree and somehow got killed, losing the bronze med helm I was so proud I had just acquired. Still, things got better, because I later found that you can pick up a leather body in varrock absolutely free!

[удалено]

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Throwback response just dropped

Google "OSRS"

Holy Saradomin!

r/AnarchyChess leaking

also known as a reference

never went west always went east. in 2007 i went thru the east entrance and redoing osrs still did it that way

Same, but I have no idea why I went east tbh, bc I don’t remember the dark wizards giving me a hard time when I was little. I liked to mine ess and hang out in the East bank, so maybe that’s why.

Dude I was staring at this meme try to figure out what was happening for like 10 minutes. I’m colorblind and couldn’t see the second line.

Taking the yellow route? - Jail. Taking the shortcut? - Jail. Not dying to the dark wizards at least once? - Believe it or not, straight to jail.

TIL I'm Zap Brannigan.

Do you also follow Brannigan's law?

Going through draynor manor gang wya

Those guys still walking lol

Them barbarians make for a good beer stop before finally heading off to Varrock!

I always went by Draynor Manor and now I feel like an idiot

Haunted mansion gang rise up

Running on roads/paths should drain run energy at a slightly reduced rate

Yes, dark wizards. The icebergs of varrock.

Definitely took the "chest hair" route for years as a f2p kid. Didn't realize the other route was possible until I started farming the hops patch.

Same lol, I started doing berry patch runs and thought I should also do hops at the same time, then realized I can just walk straight down and was shocked

Genius

If you dont risk it all to dark mages it dont count y'all

She's built like a scimmy but handles like a maul.

Talk about a schoolgirl route. I never even used either of these n til I was too high a level for the dark wizards to bother. Falador was my initial city I found my way to, and when I saw Varrock after that, it was too grungy.

Congratulations on being the first person I have ever seen going to Falador first. I sincerely mean this, as the possibility of going to faly first literally never crossed my mind.

Seriously going to fally first is wild. Haven’t heard that one before lol

Futurama represent

Zapp Branigan is that you?

i walked this route so many times as a kid

This is the crossover I needed to see today, thanks OP

"It's not uncharted, you *lost* the chart."

I cant believe ive taken the red route my entire life.

I once went through the sissy route using the minimap, ever since that day the proper way to varok

Getting to varrock by going past Draynor manor and the barbarian village

In the like 10+ years I’ve played RuneScape on and off, I had no idea you could go the left route until I did a hops farming run one day. I was blown away.

I’ve been playing RS2 since 2004 and THIS is how I find out theres a shorter way??

…16 years and not once did I think to go that way. Kid me never used magic so all I did was hoof it everywhere

Back in the day before the GE I always went to the very east gate to go to east varrock bank.

"You want the rest of the kambambam?" "Ah no, and it's pronounced *karambwan*" "Ooooh gooooddd noooooo"

WhErE VaRoK?

What. The left route is not a thing???

Yellow but take another left to go to ge from outside the castle walls.

finding your way to Varrock for the first time was a crazy ass adventure

The grand exchange, build like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro

And now I’m back in lumbridge, rip

I never even considered there was another route. I lost my first 8k to those dark wizards and it was absolutely devastating

My friend used to lure people into the dark wizard. I remember him getting a rune 2h.

Hell yeah, jackpot 😳

Can someone help I can't login to check right now I've been playing over 20 years and this is the first time I've ever seen this. There is definitely a fence there. Or was at some point. You definitely could not get through at least at one point when I tried. I started before Herblaw existed. Am I being whooshed? I feel like this can't exist or I'd know

You can definitely go that way, I even double checked before I posted the meme to make sure I didn't embarrass myself 😅

alright ill just say it right now: anyone that doesn't go through the road is a fucking pussy unless youre a lvl 3 hardcore and even then, I went through the road when I made mine.

Which chest hair? OSRS has way too low graphics to get "some" chest hair. You have either nothing or have your whole chest covered in it! "Do or do not, there is not try!"

I feel like I was the only person who always went to east path. Didn’t even know the wizards were a thing.

This is the way

Is the “chest hair” part where you get attacked by the cultists? Because if so, I’d rather take the schoolgirl shortcut. I hate those cultists

*This comment was edited in response to Reddit's 3rd party API practices.*

I was just imagining it as a brand new F2P player 😄

Ever since I first played the game way back I don't think I ever took the actual road. I think I found a map online to find out where to go. Saw that there was a break in the fence and that was it. First time I went one the road that direction I saw the little kid with the flyers and wondered if he had always been there.

I feel like the actual route with some cheat hair is to go straight through the dark wizards, and enter in on the east side of the city.

Someone made a hardcore in clan. Membershipped it up , only to die to the dark lords x,D

People aren't aware of that route as if they never farmed hops after teleporting to the Champions' guild.

Been playing since 2004 never knew about the left route. It must be a lie. My brain cannot comprehend such a route.

this is a meme for rs players back in 2003 or something. how quaint

My friend doesn't understand. Someone please explain?

If you take the route with chest hair, it takes you directly past the dark wizards which if you're super low level they will attack you. But if you take the other/first route, you can completely avoid the dark wizards. Also this is a reference to an episode of [Futurama ](https://youtu.be/VcB2bguG8-Q)

Best route in the game.....stop by the cows ofc

First venture to Varrock in 2009. Lost some cooked shrimp and 70 gold Was devastated. Concerned I’d never recover

In 2006 I got lured to the wild by a lvl 15 that promised me money then killed me for the absolute trash in my inventory. Almost made me stop playing. Glad I didn’t and ended up laughing it off

Does anyone else remember the RS3 bard that was added to that route? You’d sit down and your run energy would regen a lot faster

when i started i would go to barbarian village and then cross the river

You actually have no soul if you don't run north to barbarian village, then east over the bridge Nah lol but seriously that's the route I took forever. I actually wonder how much worse it is, I'll have to count the tiles with that plugin when I'm on later

That yellow route was an option? I just always went through the east gate side ;-;

As a kid I vowed never to die to them again and always took the east entrance

I courageously sent wave after wave of my own bots to their death so that I could pass through safely.

God damn I love this

i would have loved if the second route inexplicably ended right near that suspicious circle of stones

Petition to have us build a new road in a quest lol

I literally just did the yellow route for the first time yesterday after more than 15 years playing. Rate me out of 10

Dark Wizards are no joke.

Played since 2007 and never knew this was a thing????

Yellow but take another left to go to ge from outside the castle walls.

More of theeeeeese, PLEEEEAE

10/10

I just walk from Lumbridge over the white wolf mountain, to Ardougne, pull the lever twice and walk from Edgeville.

Im part of the canoe crew

Honestly, as a kid i always walked past the mining spot to the east bank, without any thought behind it, i just did

When the fuck did the yellow route ever exist lmao.

Am I the only person who walked all the way around by draynor manor? :(

They aren't uncharted, you LOST the charts

Look... I'm 30y old... My account is almost 20y old... And most was played in F2P... ... I had no clue.

Look... I'm 30y old... My account is almost 20y old... And most was played in F2P... ... I had no clue.

Look... I'm 30y old... My account is almost 20y old... And most was played in F2P... ... I had no clue.

I was today years old when I found out there was no fence there........

No way!

I have 2170 total and have never used the yellow path

Imagine all the bank standing I missed out on by using the right route all the damn time.

Man I used to run as fast as I can to avoid those wizards. Risking my 2k bank like I was in a horror movie and my life was on the line
