Shout out to the open source Runescape remakes

https://rsc.vet/ - 2003 era remake

https://2009scape.org - 2009 era remake

https://darkan.org/ - 2012 era remake

There are other open source remakes (2004, 2006) but they’re not as popular. I’ve actually contributed upstream to all 3 of the above, it’s a very nice community!

Those things normally get shutdown for copyright related claims though, no?

Historically, only for-profit ones have been shutdown

Thanks!

I played it a looong time ago, mined a lot lol.

Tried it later and it was more 3D-ish and I didn’t like that very much.

Any idea which one I should try out?

Cheers!

I would say play whichever era you played in the past :P. If you played RuneScape classic, OpenRSC (the 2003 remake) is the best, otherwise 2009scape is a good shout. You could also check out 2004scape.org, their beta starts soon

Vidyascape is the best real 07 remake, but is it open source?

I just found an quite old repo https://github.com/Terremer/VidyaScape and issue tracker with website code on https://gitlab.com/vscape

It seems the source is closed, but you can ask on irc.rizon.net OR [email protected].

Oh no a massive time sink

(thanks! I have a lot of nostalgia for Runescape but don’t want to waste months of my life, so I’m considering getting a single player server up and running with a like 10x exp multiplier. Now to decide on 2003, 2009 or 2012…)

I downloaded a single-player server a while ago, 20x XP let me actually experience the damn game, lmao. It was neat, getting to see what I only got glimpses of as a child.
