Runescape served as the birthplace for what would later be known as THE WIDEVERSE. As a young teen, [[Taylor]] played Runescape almost exclusively starting in 2003. There he joined and founded several clans, all doomed to fail seeing as they were run by a 13 year old. | |||
[[Warriors Gate]] and [[Severed Veins]] are the two most notable clans from this era. | |||
Runescape would fall out of the WIDEVERSE in 2005 as most the group moved to [[World of Warcraft]]. | |||

Runescape would pop up a few times over the years in the form of [[Mez]] playing very casually, Taylors Runescape series on YouTube, and [[Solgnir]] becoming briefly addicted. | |||
