Basically a small team of people is recreating 2006 Runescape for all of anyone to enjoy. Annoyed by 2k12 prods? Think 2k12 RS is too easy? Well here you are, 2006 Runescape.

Thoughts? Opinions? And obviously, do you plan on botting?

Personally, I started playing RS in early 2006, so I never really experienced it too well, being a noob and not knowing how everything works. I want to try rs2006 and depending on how many other people are playing is what will make me stay or leave. As for botting, I don't know, do we really want to ruin a brand new game? Although, they are bringing it upon themselves for leaving the xp rate at 1:1 (personally I think it should be 2x).

I will definitely be playing this, and a lot more than RS. As for botting, I might be creating some scripts for it, but it will be kept in private cause we don't wanna ruin this game don't we?:P

I'll be legit on it most likely as long as it's not another twelve year old 'I ARE TE JAVA PROEGEMMER' project that everything is easy to level on, there is no uniqueness, favoritism is shown towards anything with breasts of great proportions and or 'SEXEL PIXOOLS LEZ CYBER'.

A RISK can dream.

Lol at above post. I would be willing to try it at least. I love the nostalgia

This looks pretty sweet actually. I think I'd play legit on it, wouldn't want to ruin it.

heh, time for the pickaxe head solvers XD

I'd try it out (Sandboxed), though I doubt I'd play it. The game isn't that much different from before other than all the interfaces graphics animations etc. It will just be a grind just like the real game.

The biggest question is how popular the game is going to be. If there are hundreds or thousands of users I'll try it out. If it's a simple 50-100, I will most-likely not even touch it.

They got 40k registered user. Which is actually pretty decent.

And with about 2-5k active users on the forum. Which isn't bad and if they have like 2 or 4 worlds (I think they are planning for 4, 2 f2p and 2 member) you can get a decent amount of player in them.

i must say, im rather impressed

~shut

haha i miss those randoms lol they used to be fun :) lol..

Already created an account! Can't wait till I can truly play RuneScape! :D
~onilika

im waiting for it, because i started playing runescape since it came out (i was 13?)
and its good to see a fully working old school runescape private server without all the shit that jagex have now on Rune$cape. about botting i dont know, maybe when im low level ill be legit and when ill reach high level stats ill start to bot, im sure i have scar + scripts from few years ago so it will work on rs2006 ;)

Saw it a few months ago… There are doubts about it being actually released. I wish them the best. That 06-07 phase was the brightest time of Runescape and the last.

Wow that looks sick can't wait thats the year I started Playing so it should be awesome

caught botting = IP ban

From: Evlin

Honestly that's probably a good thing. I think if there's minimal botting it will be awesome.

Ah, I can't wait for this :D

From: Evlin

You still can change your IP unless they will ban your ISP and i dont think they will do it.

what happen if we don't get caught?:P

I was into RS2006 until 1x won the poll. Heck, there's so much I can do other than wasting more time on RS. It's 2x, botting or nothing to me :)

Make it like frugooscape :) loved that back then

I really don't think it will get released, this is the same guy who made rs2007 and failed :P.

i've been following this project since october and everyone is a mem:spot:

ive been there, unfortunatly they dont have an eta yet. For what they say everyone will be able to play the entire game which means memb stuff and non memb alike so no membership required. There will be a pre-alpha testing phase for mods and donators which will be reset for alpha phase in which everyone will be able to start from scratch

The website is going strong. I am a very active user of the site and I cannot wait until the game is up. I will not be botting and I hope none of you guys consider botting in this game. There is no point. Continue ruining the economy for real RuneScape, play legitimately on RS2006. I fiugre pre-alpha will be up in the next couple weeks.

I doubt jagex will just overlook if it's gonna be big. They have taken down private servers earlier too..

Most people seem to think Jagex won't do anything about it. Course, a lot of those people don't actually believe the server is ever going to actually be put up. I completely disagree with that. Also, their first stress test is on Saturday.

Well they aren't really making any money off of this (rs2k6), there is no such thing as members. They are accepting donations however to pay for upkeep.

Personally, I like the 1x experience gain…they are aiming for it to be exactly as it were in 2k6. They said they will not add anything with the exception of the possibility of skill capes.

To be honest, I think it's impossible for them to make money off it (or illegal in some way). So I don't think it'll ever happen, or be released for that matter (though I wish it did/does because I want to play myself). Costs/expenses for maintaining/up-keeping something like this isn't cheap. Especially thinking server latency, bandwidth…etc, there's so many factors that come into play and for one or two people to do all of this, it'd be kinda tough.

Gonna laugh, if this is just a huge setup, and just make the client a keylogger/webclient a JDB

It won't be that bad just renting several servers with business connections. There are definitely enough donators to keep it running. We won't let it fail. The stress test tomorrow will definitely be a flop though.

Hope this works, then I can mod my old ass version of aryan to work on it and make moi tons o'money!

They released it today but the site is being DDOSed. They did put up a link on their twitter to play but that's not working from either DDOS or just the amount of people trying to actualy play

This going to be Legit!

Sometimes I miss the private server development days… :(

wait is it still 1x skills etc? I see. ::home in that pic… thats not what's up yo

Yeap it's 1x exp I heard

yep 1 x

Awh, I can't seem to connect :(

I'm disappointed…what is with the ::home and shit. It is supposed to be exactly as it was in 2006…why do we start in Castle Wars room? :|

its only a beta test for server stability :)

didn't they use unique code that is different from jagex ? hence why they have to code it from scratch ? so dosen't that mean jagex cannot shut it down

Indeed, if it really does become as big as people think it will be, it will definitely draw attention from Jagex. Particularly on copyright grounds.

Brings back memories just looking at the pictures. Ill have to try it out.

no i agree with your theory on most cases but their twitter has confirmed being ddosed during the stability test and after when i mentioned just cos they banned some noob
:hypocrite:
