Veteran

A veteran is a player who had logged into RuneScape Classic any time between 3 August 2005 and 12 January 2006. This corresponds to the first account restriction of RuneScape Classic due to the influx of macroes in the game. RuneScape Classic account creation was restricted to Members only on 3 August 2005 and account creation was closed (until the two [[open period]s) on 12 January 2006.

It is intended to distinguish between original RuneScape classic players and those who joined during one of the open periods, but because it restricts veteran status to those who were a Member and logged in sometime during the above date range, many who feel they should have veteran status (i.e. played Classic before this, or even before RuneScape 2 was released) do not have it. The only current advantage to veteran status is the ability to log in to World 1.
