Total Rank 1 - The Complete Timeline (2001-2023) - RuneScape

I began this project years ago, thinking I would never actually be able to compile this complete timeline. Hundreds of hours later, however, here we are. I proudly present my biggest project of the last few years: the complete timeline of total rank one, since RuneScape's very release in January of 2001. Using hundreds of data points, this video has an estimated accuracy of at least 98.2%. More about the data-collection process below. Compiling this timeline was painstakingly difficult and took various methods. Of course, for this video to be accurate, I could only hiscore information that was timestamped in one way or another. In addition, there also needed to be ENOUGH “data points” with little separation between, which means I needed A LOT of timestamped data. Given that daily hiscore updates is the best to reasonably hope for, an important inclusion criterion for this timeline is that a player must have held rank one for at least one whole day. This is mainly relevant for the period 2008 and later, when new skill releases always saw many different ranks one throughout the skill’s first day of existence. This was not an issue prior to 2008 because the low number of maxed players led to skill releases having very little impact. Some notes about the data collection: One main problem is that RuneScape did not have any hiscores until November 2001, whereas RuneScape had been released in January of that year. There were still, however, some ways to figure out who was rank one: On day three of RuneScape’s existence, Andrew Gower (creator of RuneScape) shared an update of the hiscores with alpha tester Rab. In the next weeks and months, Andrew would continue providing updates like that in the forms of public newsletters, until August, resulting in a clear timeline for the first seven months. Whenever one newsletter update was followed by another update with a different rank one, the day of the new update was considered the first day of the new rank one. I considered using projections in Excel to guesstimate when rank one would have been traded between any two updates, but I ended up not doing that because that doesn’t make much sense, given that there were no hiscores and no other ways to figure out who the “live” rank one was without those newsletter updates. In other words, no one (including the old and new rank one) would have known that the rank one position was lost to someone else. For the period August 2001 – November 2001, there were no such newsletter updates (of which I am aware). The hiscore section was added to the RuneScape website at the end of November 2001. From that moment, online archives (such as Wayback machine) were used to recover the old hiscores. Nevertheless, there are some issues with that method: 1) such archives do not log every single day. In fact, most of the time, there are weeks and sometimes months between updates; 2) I discovered that the calendar date shown in such archives is not always correct, but such retrievals errors could be resolved with a little bit of digging in the browser itself. To bridge the gap from the final (known) newsletter update by Andrew in August 2001 and the release of the official hiscores in November, a projection had to be made in Excel because the old and new hiscores were too different to reliably use the same method as was used for January – August. Both Alchemon and Tiwi taking rank one, and at the moment shown in the video, and the total levels shown for both, are therefore projections and may not be 100% accurate as a result. The same method was used for the * shown in 2003. For the period November 2001 – January 2007, the method of resorting to online archives was used. As you will see in the video, no such methods were not necessary for 2007. Then for the period 2008 until today, runetracker.org could be used to verify ranks one on any given day since 2008, so that was the easy part of the video! Nevertheless, after the skill releases of 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2021, a combination of online archives and other timestamped data (screenshots, videos, tweets, Facebook posts) were needed in addition to Runetracker for mainly the first week after each of those skill releases. A new timeline (WITH COMMENTARY) will be published once the race to 200M Necromancy xp has reached its culmination. I will also work on other hiscore timelines in the next weeks/months! 😊 RuneScape soundtracks used: -Inspiration -Mellow For more history, memories and nostalgia: My trilogy "A History of RuneScape" (1k+ pages): https://rshistory.com/ Twitter:   / rshistoryjuly   Facebook page:   / thehistoryofrunescape   Facebook group:   / 1079116398916011   Like my content on my social media?
