fwiw, this appears to be a fork of a now missing repo, and I cannot speak to the cleanliness of the files but it's a decent sized dump of old bots and sources including AutoRune. Repo -- https://github.com/runescape-classic/runescape-classic-dump AutoRune -- https://github.com/runescape-classic/runescape-classic-dump/...

Just remembered, a private server written/modified by a buddy of mine. https://github.com/gen0cide/firescape

Haha, Runescape story time. I made a sizeable sum of GP in the early RS2 days by writing a bot that automatically bought items from underpriced general stores. To find the store operator NPC, the script would move the mouse randomly over the game window and detect the yellow text in the top left. I wrote a cool function to count the number of letters in the text, as a kind of rudimentary OCR. This defeated a lot of t…

FYI it’s the glory days of RuneScape (old school) private servers. The big ones have teams of developers and they’re even better than Jagex in some ways!

I’m happy to hear that. I used to develop for a RSC server. I remember doing completely for free and one day I got paid for it and I will never ever forget it. Thanks Brwn. Long live rsckbd!

I got scammed once in Runescape, selling a rune shield or something and my trade partner put up the right amount of cash, but also a bunch of random items. This bunch of random items distracted me from the fact that he decreased the cash amount by a factor of 10 and I accepted the trade. It's good to learn such life lessons in a virtual game rather than real life! That was definitely not the only life lesson though,…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are they looking at the RuneScape Private server scene? I remember some OSRS servers that provided custom clients from those years. I don't know how accessible some of those are now, but it wouldn't surprise me if you could find those old clients that way.

From the FAQ: > What about old private servers? > These didn't focus on keeping a historical archive of all versions of the game; only a handful of old game versions were found from these sources. Everything that was available from private servers has already been saved.

This is true, however, if you reach out to maintainers, you might be surprised to find old files from them.
