RuneScape memes primarily revolve around the 'Old School' (OSRS) version of the iconic MMORPG, utilizing its distinct low-poly aesthetic and nostalgic UI elements. The most recognizable format features the yellow overhead chat text, often accompanied by color and movement modifiers like 'glow2:' or 'wave:'. These memes capture the unique culture of the game, from the relentless 'grind' for level 99s to the humorous interactions at the Grand Exchange. Since the mid-2000s, phrases like 'Buying GF' and the crab emoji (representing Jagex's perceived lack of control) have transcended the game to become universal symbols of internet irony and early gaming nostalgia.
