Plain 2004 feels very much like f2p+ rather than a full blown members world. You get just enough content to feel like you're a step above f2p but not enough to really bring out the strengths of the game. Pretty cool though I'm still enjoying it. Also, with almost no make-all you can't retain a big chunk of the casual playerbase as their afk options are quite limited.

I was mining ess and suspected a bot. I door slammed them from leaving, they sat for a minute and then eventually teled back to mine more ess with a fully inventory.

Thoughts on herb grinding? What is the go-to spot for getting a good amount of these in 04?

Chaos druids so far have been very generous, I was also trying men in lumbridge & edgeville with their added bonus of easy clues but the lack of gem drop table kinda sucks. Anyone tried other spots like Tribesmen, Thugs or Jogres? Any good place I'm still missing?

>>2039738
Chaos druid warriors are also nice as they drop two at once kind of often, but I'm thinking I'll wait for farming (in three years)

>>2039738
Chaos druids will always be best. Tribesmen are in second place if you want to safespot or use antipoisons (doubt they drop enough super antis to sustain indefinitely but it might be possible). Jogres suck.

You can examine the code of any of the FOSS projects and assess whether or not it looks like a keylogger. The general consensus seems to be that these publicly auditable games are safe.

those are uni ronically just archives of the game assets. like navigating to a folder of a steam install and being like wow the game is preserved because i have these files of the game models : ) better put them on my hard disk drive to keep safe!!

they arent even functional i cant play with anyone who cares

>>2110139
Jagex probably doesn't even have copies of those old versions themselves.

Brits apparently can preserve 1000 year old artifacts, paintings and other historical stuff, but shit the bed when it comes to media. Fuck the britbongs.

>>2110517
>probably doesn't
Even though version control was invented in America decades prior to Classic Jagex didn't use it until 2012. OSRS only exists because they're bad enough at preservation that they misplaced a 2007 backup tape before they had the chance to overwrite it and then rediscovered it years later.
>It’s known they did not have traditional source control until 2012 and on. There were supposedly tape backups taken on regular intervals, but those are gone. OSRS was restored from a full tape backup they managed to find.
>Before that, Jagex worked out of 3 folders: WIP, RC, and LIVE. Developers recorded the files they edited in WIP, and an Upload Manager copied them into RC manually using best judgement as needed. After testing, RC became LIVE.
>In simpler terms, the game was constantly being overwritten with no automated change logs to track versions or rewind history.
https://lostcity.rs/t/faq-what-is-lost-city/16
>Jagex unfortunately didn't start keeping systemic backups until 2012, with RuneScape Classic and the OSRS source code being the only exceptions.

Projects in line with those archival efforts allow for functional private servers. While there may not currently be the exact 20xxScape variant which tickles your 'tism the RuneScape Archive, Lost City, etc. will be what makes it happen eventually. You can increase the likelihood of these projects succeeding by making high quality contributions.

>>2111293
>Projects in line with those archival efforts allow for functional private servers
?? do you know why 2004scape is the only project "in line" with that site? because it took literal years to even have a working prototype of a game made from scratch.

and now its worthless shit tainted by trannies and discord. give it up, RS will never be preserved unless jagex themselves releases that 07 backup

>>2111959
>?? do you know why 2004scape is the only project "in line" with that site?

>>2183067
>update with time to 2006 (hard limited due to encrypted cache updates)
They're planning to go up to 2012, it's just going to be like 5x times harder to do with post-2006 encrypted stuff

>>2187448
eh i highly doubt anyone would even want to play later iterations of the game. 2009scape exists and gets 30 players and 2012scape exists and gets like 10.

the reason private servers will never truly take off is because there's nothing here except an art gallery/museum. mmos are meant to evolve.

>>2189901
2009scape has a lot of goofy unauthentic things, and who cares about 2012
this does evolve by definition, albeit very slowly
thousands of players were online at once daily playing the f2p version of 2004. today thousands of players log in every week. just think about that

>>2189923
yeah but now the server averages 200 players max. so my point remains

I thought the dragon med helm was considered ultra rare and highly valuable in the original RS2 before Barrows yet 3 people are wearing one in your pic. Am I remembering something wrong?
...
Nevermind. I just checked the hiscores and saw the 99-all autists on the first page which explains everything.

If I hadn't forgotten my pre-Discord 2004scape account name and password I would pop back in to take a look. I guess I'll never be able to join this server now.

hello jagex

you are now holding soup

>>2190824
i mean they are. companies just refuse to do them at anything other than a glacial (as in extremely slow) pace. why hasn't official classic+ happened for wow? simple. blizzard doesnt want to lol.

in elementary school we made something like this

200m thieving on a private server jfc

>>2206450
left click thieving is free

I started playing this then i figured whats the point

I change my mind i cant stop thinking ab 2004 runey

>>2207039
thank you. i have no idea why people waste their time on private servers.

>>2207093
i have no idea why they waste their time on the 'real game' (private server that jagex just happens to host) either

>>2207646
i play runescape 3 not osrs

nice combat stats, is the 2004 meta just grinding out on fire giants & afking wildy or are there some good lesser known alternatives?

>>2211103
Fire giants I don't think are -the- meta, just a good balance between money and xp
Green drags are the best way to get combat xp and money, but obviously not afk or comfy
Moss Giants (seen below) I think are the best xp rates an hour
www.lostcitylabs.com/skillrates
Worth checking out, although I don't agree with some stuff like nats at 91-99 rc as fire runes are obviously better

>>2211103
At mid level, it seems I have 3 choices:
>hobgoblins for money
>moss giants
>baby blue dragons for prayer

>>2211619
Oh yeah, and chaos druids are obviously top tier as well

This shit still going a year later? I remember making fake pics of the mods threatening players for playing the game wrong and spreading all sorts of FUD back when it was new. Good times.

>>2207093
why not? Jagex deleted your RS2 progress too. Nothing is forever

>>2206368
and he used the op image, curious

>>2212275
>Jagex deleted your RS2 progress too
No they didn't. You can log in to your RSC or RS2 account right this very moment and still have all your items and xp.

>>2211619
Damn they already have a CML-like site up for 04scape? Very interesting data, but for non-poopsockers it def makes more sense to go for gp/xp rather than pure gains. Depending on how active wildy is you can get away with some impressive auto retal afk methods in certain areas of the map.

>>2212290
>hurr durr in RS3
just as good as deleting it

>>2212466
honestly just do whatever you feel like. that's the best way to play
i kill a lot of fire giants and trade the key halves for glories so i get a good stack to recharge
i afk yews with a goblin hitting me when i dont feel like playing

you can also plan around updates since we know what's coming. I've only been training ranged as fremmy helm is coming soon(ish) with rock crabs so what's the point of melee until then.. and with the fletch X update with that I can make all my yews into bows to alch. ez gaem

That site paints a pretty good picture on what most people are sticking to. Chop trees, chop heads, harass guards. Good activities in 04scape

I would love that this game was an ultima online style game instead.

Im almost there, brother

i would expect nothing less from a server that i have never heard of

seems you heard of it

Moderators? These are men. Evil men. Godless men. They use moderation to commit heinous evil crimes. Next to rape and murder, theft is the worst kind of crime. This is Organized Crime. Socialism. Communism. Simply different ways of spelling "Criminal".

started playing this yesterday... feels good to make solid money from mining rune essence and picking flax

im extremely well versed in runescape ive been playing since 2009 (was born in 2000 but am actually the universe/god experience itself so technically unborn)

i played the runescape classic private servers and its just too far back. you have to wait for the individual lines of text to appear above the npcs head...slowly...one by one. would've been comfy back in 2001 tho!

i played 2004scape and i appreciate it for what it is - but having to make a discord to even play is fucking retarded. but it does have like 200 players on at any given moment which is pretty impressive. but it's a bit too authentic for my taste. i also do genuinely feel all private servers should have the OPTION of boosted xp. 1x with 2004 rates is just not fun. but it's still comfy to walk around the world but it wears off fast imo.

i played 2007scape and it's interesting but the issue with this server is you start asking yourself why you arent just playing actual osrs. the problem with the older versions of the game is there is really no utility for skill at the higher levels. you are just grinding to grind. but i appreciate this existing.

2009scape is comfy and the year i started playing. i really love this server and it has boosted xp rates - but sadly there is just too much content missing to truly play this seriously. what could've been.

2012scape/darkan is in a similar state. it's 2012 runescape with no eoc or microtransactions, but it's missing so much content it's nto really worth playing. it does have worlds with 25x xp and 100x xp multipliers though! which more private servers should have.

i highly recommend not playing ANY private server other than the ones i've mentioned. trust me, they are ALL dogshit.

>>2239114
I see you on /v/.

nobody died before i was born

we do a little heroin

this game is ass with its 90 second logout lmfao


fucking fix your fucking game like jagex did. they increased it to 5 mins and even vscape has a 10 min logout so no excuse fuck preservation fuck this server

bro is trying to AFK... lock in

my point stands

makes me feel like i cant touch the ground

ok i dont like the market being a 3rd party app that also wants access to my discord and to read my email address

it was bad enough having to give that to the lead dev or w/e but now i gotta give it to every random app maker too? or else i get nickel and dimed on every transaction because people who but up buy offers always scam a little

>>2187448
>going to be like 5x times harder to do with post-2006 encrypted stuff
again, explain how vscape has all 2007 content then? even dogshit servers liek 2009 and 2012 have it. I thought 2004scape devs were the 'best to ever do it'? and they can't figure out some file data? maybe they should stick to discord and gender identity debates.

how do the discontinued items work in this game? hella sketchy that some people have these items worth like 100x more than the most expensive item on a private server like this

>>2242130
>explain how vscape has all 2007 content then? even dogshit servers liek 2009 and 2012 have it.
because vscape has been worked on since 2014 and 2009/2012scape are missing a lot of content

>>2242342

should've played authentically anon

Apparently you can buy items/gp with crypto from the server owner

>>2242130
After mid-2006 all the loc(ation) data started to be encrypted, which is objects placed on the landscape(walls, trees, fences, etc.). The underlying terrain is not encrypted. The keys are strongly randomly generated and change any time the map is touched by the devs. Tons of keys were never grabbed because the only people that were dumping them back then were bot makers and they just dumped keys for regions that bots would operate in. Most other private servers use a hodgepodge of map data from different versions or manually recreated areas.

Fortunately, though, August 2007(the version used by OSRS) has a 100% complete set of keys which likely came from a jmod.

OSRS still encrypts maps to this day but RS3 dropped the crypto back in like 2011/2012.

>>2242364
are they gonna do them again next year?

only 200 ppl playing? dead

project zanaris will mog all these cope servers into oblivion
osrs will be the next roblox

why should I play this instead of a real MMO like maplestory?

>>2256041
you shouldn't, this is for hardcore runescape oldfag autists only

The only thing keeping me from playing this again is the resolution, the arrow-key turning and the logout timer.
