Here are some archives from March 2012, with rules and prices for all origination points, both OneWorld Explorer and Global Explorer fares.
And also, an even older file of OneWorld Explorer Fares from Jan 2005.
Is this what you had in mind?

Around 2000, there were some "Pacific Circle" (not exactly the same as RTW, but could be used in the same way as a more flexible and cheaper alternative) fares involving QF, JAL, and NW (and perhaps other carriers, IIRC there was a Guam routing to Cairns that used CO). Pricing depended on bands of how many miles were traveled, but I remember paying around $3000 for a ticket that permitted several stops in Australia and routed through Japan in one direction.

Thank you very much! This is what I was hoping to find, although maybe an even broader range. I'm trying to find an example of super cheap fares from the past.

I know. I've found a few sites with historic exchange rates, so I was able to get some prices of, e.g., ex-CAI in 2011. I was hoping to be able to find a few dramatic examples. I'm trying to make a point that you can't assume that a low RTW fare is an "error fare" that is obviously a mistake.

On another topic (and apologies if this is the wrong forum - couldn't find a star alliance equivalent), what are the best (cheapest) places to start a star alliance rtw from at the moment ?

Isn't it a bit academic at the moment ? I don't believe it's posssible to enter Sri Lanka (unless you're a citizen). Would it be possible to start a RTW ticket from there without going through immigration ?

Transit via Sri Lanka is permitted, as long as the connecting flight is within 10 hours of arrival. Travellers should check with their airline on the transit times. There are limited airside refreshment facilities available due to COVID-19 restrictions.

There are a number of threads in that forum that describe pricing by country. See, for example (there are others):

And also - is there a TA lurking here (or that someone can recommend) who can book me a Oneworld Explorer starting in OSL ? I assume that's still a good place to start ?
