Might want to look into it, but currently Arcanists is in danger of being forced to rebrand. One of the two major people working on the game is blackmailing the other in exchange for his leaving the project, and Jagex is currently requiring he stay on the project. If you want to know more, its all talked about in the annoucements channel on their discord.
So many fond memories of me and the boys playing Arcanist at school. Only problem we had with it was of course the membership that we didnt have the money for
I used to grind surveys on f8ve accounts to pay that while I was ten. Definitely fraud, but who is going to arrest me for what I did for the right reasons?
@@HummelLogan1 Problem is, they way he described this Java game was not my envisioning of a great, modern RTS game. Plus I'm curious to know if the lore is really all that developed. Is Forinthry really a big thing in this *turn-based game.* Thinking like Total War or Dawn of War. Something like that.
@@HummelLogan1That minigame kind of sucked and nobody played it. That's why they removed it in RS3. Not sure if it exists in OSRS, never actually checked.
@@stickman2012 Yeah as I remember it AoG was a turn based strategy or turn based tactics game not RTS. Do remember it being a lot of fun, different from what your imagining though, which would be really nice.
Miner Disturbance was my fav after Arcanists, getting those high score achievements after planning out the perfect heist and escaping the lava was so hype, and it got me into future games like Steamworld Dig
Arcanists, Dungeon Assualt, Steel Sentinels and Armies of Gelinor Those were my go to games to play. I couldn't remember if there was a membership deal if you did both RS and Funorb but I defs recall subbing to both on some occasions. Sometimes one or the other.
I loved Kickabout League man. It was so good. Half our class in primary school played it. It had more depth to it than the tutorial obviously. It was a great multiplayer game. Different classes of football players to choose from for your team. Cool tricks. Neat market system to upgrade your squad. You didn't do it justice in this video.
Hey! Thanks for checking out the Alterorb and Funorb remake projects! I'm one the developers and staff members for a few of these. Notably, Arcanists and Chrome Conflict (the full remake and continuation of Steel Sentinels including a 3D version of the game). I hope you have enjoyed your time looking through all of the projects and history of them. Sadly, many years of progress, planning, artwork, models, music, etc have been lost due to Forum closures and lost links for time. It still amazes me how many talented people came out of the shadows to breathe new life into these beloved games, not to mention that some of these have turned from a passion project into full playable games with a team dedicated to working on them. Feel free to reach out to us in the future if you have questions. :D
Hey man, do you know if there's any chance the Armies of Gielinor campaigns will be recreated at any point? I'd love to replay those, but as far as I could tell, they're not available in the current AoG remake.
My favorite memory in funorb was being in a high level ranked match and being even with my opponent except they had a dragon on a map that was almost fully destroyed. I told him that dragons could swim and then he drowned his dragon and lost.
The antlers were 2006. That’s the same year I started!!!!! I remember 1 time playing on funorb and I ended up playing a game against Zezima. It was right after he was made mod on rs2. Pretty cool experience.
In all fairness, I wasn't able to dedicate a lot of time into each game for the sake of getting the video out, so many of my thoughts are first impressions from the first 15-30 minutes. I'm sure these games are great with enough time invested!
I use to alternate between rs2 and funorb. Bouncedown, crazy crystals, dungeon assaultm, arcanists, and armies of gielenor were my favorites. I played arcanists again the day after it came out on Steam. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Played hours of miner disturbance. Loved that game, almost took notes from dwarf fortress because once you go too far down you better get out fast or too much “fun”
After the death of oldschool with the removal of wildy and intro of trade limit etc i played a lot of fun orb. One game in particular, it was a turn based SWAT game similar to like CnC:Red Alert. Many fond memories
Honestly while it wasn't exactly the greatest games a lot of these were really promising concepts and given how much fun it was to play as kids it actually inspired quite a lot of indie games today! A lot of my own projects are partially inspired by the games i played on good ol' funorb when i was a wee lad, including one of my current games. It makes me a little sad to see you just glance some of the better ones, but given that they need some time and skill investment to actually be fun it's understandable lol But yeah, i think we can all agree on the one true goat of this site, which is indeed Arcanists.
Read the title of this video and never clicked faster. The way that game preservation has been treated lately had me sadly thinking I’d never get to play my favorite flash games again forever. Really hope this happens!!!!
By chance anyone remembers summoning game with rs gods? I think it was online strategy/pvp game. I just remeber that it cost coins summoning something like saradomin monsters to fight other players summoning zamorak/armadyl/bandos monsters... it was so long ago my memory is foggy about it
I'm so sad I never had the internet for RuneScape (or any mmo) back in the day. i remember in 2006 my friend at school telling me how much he loved it and I kept trying to play, but my Internet couldn't load past the login screen
"...because we all know that's a middle-aged man in his underwear." Me, a middle-aged man in his underwear watching this video: No need to call me out like that, man, sheesh... Also, I was today years old when I finally realized Jagex stands for Java Gaming Experts... I have been wondering about that name for years. Damn.
I played with a couple people on arcanists, one person said my dad was gay and i was somehow horrified and convinced they were right, even though i never met my dad. Idk why thats a memory for me
While true the arcade games they created in that period have no playerbase today. I don't think kids these days play games like we did back then. On the browser that is.
30:11 I remember in void hunters, you could save the ship design, but it was just encoded json, so you could basically decoded it make an illegal ship design and reupload it and it would work in game. I didn't understand it cause i was a kid but i somehow got someone elses illegal ship and it was the funnest thing ever
Another channel whose creator knows less than nothing about RuneScape, but still feels comfortable pretending EoC basically turned the game into WoW. How original.
Bonus points if you can find the hidden Chad 👀
Found him. Left side of the screen, 0:00 .
people who was playing arcanist before it came to steam was so nice. that game still in my top 10 after so long

armies of gilanor was one of my fav flash games back in the day
So many fond memories of me and the boys playing Arcanist at school. Only problem we had with it was of course the membership that we didnt have the money for
Fire arrow and arcane missile spam
You can play Arcanists still and it's free now just putting it out there
@@pickledokra2963 Yeah I know, downloaded it days ago :)
I used to grind surveys on f8ve accounts to pay that while I was ten. Definitely fraud, but who is going to arrest me for what I did for the right reasons?
that was my favorite part. versing members and still winning with the default arcane book
If Jagex made an RTS on Steam based on the Third Age God Wars, then that would be sick.
Bro they’ve had an RS rts for like 10 years 😂 armies of gielenor

They need a starcraft or command and conquer type of rts for runescape. I'd play the shit out of that.
There is a surprising lack of blooper reel in the world today. Thank you.
Rest of video good too.
Miner Disturbance was my fav after Arcanists, getting those high score achievements after planning out the perfect heist and escaping the lava was so hype, and it got me into future games like Steamworld Dig
mhm! that was my favorite of the single player games too. With zombie dawn being my favorite multiplayer one.
Steel Sentinels 4v4 fleet team match.
Arcanists, Dungeon Assualt, Steel Sentinels and Armies of Gelinor Those were my go to games to play. I couldn't remember if there was a membership deal if you did both RS and Funorb but I defs recall subbing to both on some occasions. Sometimes one or the other.
Dungeon Assault was very fun, that's what I played most of the time and Arcanists
Based DA enjoyer.
As someone who recently quit clash of clans after 10 years id rather play DA
dungeon assault may actually be better than the new dungeon keeper. :|

Bachelor Fridge went hard tbh
Ive been looking for AoG since finding Arcanist again. Happy to see it might come back!
dude thank you for letting me know!!! been waiting soooo long for this!

I'll definitely need to check out Chrome Conflict!
Thank you for your efforts in bringing this project back to life!

The nostalgia of Arcanists and Bric a Brac are all coming to me!
Steel Sentinels and Arcanists were my favorite. Great vid!
27:06
God, seeing those old funorb games is just bringing back old memories of playing some of them
My favorite memory in funorb was being in a high level ranked match and being even with my opponent except they had a dragon on a map that was almost fully destroyed. I told him that dragons could swim and then he drowned his dragon and lost.
The antlers were 2006. That’s the same year I started!!!!! I remember 1 time playing on funorb and I ended up playing a game against Zezima. It was right after he was made mod on rs2. Pretty cool experience.
Liked and subbed. What a great videom thanks for the memories.
Arcanists was so friggin fun
awesome vid dude
Bouncedown crawled so Downwell could soar. You can't change my mind.
Orb defence and steel sentinels were my favoritse back in the day, even more than arcanists, RIP from you absolutely roasting them
In all fairness, I wasn't able to dedicate a lot of time into each game for the sake of getting the video out, so many of my thoughts are first impressions from the first 15-30 minutes. I'm sure these games are great with enough time invested!
Thought I was watching J1mmy for a second. Not a bad thing.
Edit: Maybe I should watch the video before commenting.

Played hours of miner disturbance.
Loved that game, almost took notes from dwarf fortress because once you go too far down you better get out fast or too much “fun”
After the death of oldschool with the removal of wildy and intro of trade limit etc i played a lot of fun orb.
One game in particular, it was a turn based SWAT game similar to like CnC:Red Alert. Many fond memories
Steel Sentinels was my JAM, god I miss that game so much
i was there for the penance pet dancing :D at 0:58
i remember playing armies of gielinor back then once you got to spawn a kbd you were winning it was a pretty good game from what i remember.
I loved dungeon assault and orb defense they were so much fun
Arc2 is a blast. You can play casual, do FFAs or teams, or play a super high skill meta in the tournament scene
Been playing Arcanists 2 a few years and its awesome!
the nostalgia, mainly for arcanists, everything else i remember playing back in the day was just try it and find out oh it sucks
Armies of Gielinor was really fucking nice! Truly miss that game.
Arcanists...really really miss that game.
Arcanists was such a lit game tbh
Incredible video!
Thank you!
Miner disturbance was so good thooo
YEAAAAHHHHH ARCANISTSSSSSSSS

this is we got j1mmy at home but you have 10 construction and failed to get a +5 boost from your orange stew
i was NOT expecting that pooosyole lmfaooooo
Omg I play so much of Arcanists and Armies of Gielinor
By chance anyone remembers summoning game with rs gods? I think it was online strategy/pvp game. I just remeber that it cost coins summoning something like saradomin monsters to fight other players summoning zamorak/armadyl/bandos monsters... it was so long ago my memory is foggy about it
I really like the game I think it was called bachelor fridge
I felt that Sony Vegas joke deep down in my soul
@@AfterOwls when you set the autosave to every 10 seconds so you don't lose progress between crashes 😔
Subbed just for the J1mmy shout out 🤣🙏🤘
I'm so sad I never had the internet for RuneScape (or any mmo) back in the day. i remember in 2006 my friend at school telling me how much he loved it and I kept trying to play, but my Internet couldn't load past the login screen
well done
Three brothers, three. Why can't we just view the Gower brothers as the 3 Musketeers that they are?
They're the Holy Trinity for RS.
FunOrb was actually fun, but very pay to win. The Wizard (Worms warfare) was cool pvp. The Armies of Gelianor was fun also.
I dont want to watch a 45min video about fun orb but here's some engagement I guess
bro reckons i wasnt already afking by 9mins in...
Shaming the hd graphics is crazy
kickabout league was the GOAT
That's funny about Sony Vegas crashing, because absolutely none of us paid for it and i always wondered if that was why
"...because we all know that's a middle-aged man in his underwear."

JOIN ARCANISTS ITS LIT WE HAVE WANDS
I played with a couple people on arcanists, one person said my dad was gay and i was somehow horrified and convinced they were right, even though i never met my dad.
Idk why thats a memory for me
Bring back RuneScape: Idle Adventures. Now we all have 3 monitors and an undying devotion it's time.
Melvor idle may scratch that itch
@@martinmay1178 Holy moly, thank you so much! It's not quite the same, but it's basically the same. Idk how this got past me tbh
aog had paid dlc (Which i bought) for bandos, zaros, armadyl).
Jimmy mentioned
I have SO memories playing arcanists with the boys. Was all fun and games until someone tower-walled up 😂
Jagex just went into a spiral of lack of creativity and became soulless. They were at their best between 2006 to 2010.
While true the arcade games they created in that period have no playerbase today. I don't think kids these days play games like we did back then. On the browser that is.
I wouldn't say that about old school. RuneScape. It still kicks ass
i want 8realms back
i miss funorb so much.
27:07 lol I saw that
Wasn't there a barbarian assault game?
30:11 I remember in void hunters, you could save the ship design, but it was just encoded json, so you could basically decoded it make an illegal ship design and reupload it and it would work in game. I didn't understand it cause i was a kid but i somehow got someone elses illegal ship and it was the funnest thing ever
Steel Sentinels me and my clan!
bro made steel sentinels look that bad? lack of research oof
Funorb ? The place where we unbanned our accounts haha
is this real!???!
ITS CHESS... dana na nanana.... Lmao
Another channel whose creator knows less than nothing about RuneScape, but still feels comfortable pretending EoC basically turned the game into WoW. How original.
OSRS is now a Troon game specifically for Troons. Play accordingly.
Please go outside dog, your echo chamber is scaring the hoes
