So i basically ended up as a programmer by hacking the runescape clients so i could use them in the creation of private servers. Illegal but great fun (but wasn't everything illegal but great fun as a teenager?). Contributed quite a lot to the private server community. I still tend to hang out in the programmer usergroups of those communities though I lost interest in modding runescape. But hey, I'm a programmer now, so thanks jagex p.s. : sorry for helping so many people steal your content, it was just for the lulz. I promise!

Hey so did I! My first programming experience was working on RS2DBase. It was pretty popular back in the day. I met loads of great people through those forums and I don't think I'd have gotten into programming without them.

Same here, Jagex's client and private servers are what I cut my teeth on when it came to programming. My entire fascination with programing evolved from runescape. Hacking, cheating, and modding it.

Cheating at runescape is how I ended up as a programmer as well, mostly writing scripts for scar back in middle school. I tried to making a client, but all I managed to do is allow you to spam trade requests and disconnect people. It ended up being popular for a couple days until everyone started blocking trade requests while in the wilderness. Man I miss that game.
