Yeah didnt have a lot of money growing up but runescape ran fine/well IN BROWSER on our old terrible computer on rural wifi. Brother and I were also able to $5 a month together for members. We probably would have played WoW if we could afford it and our computer could run it but for a lot of folks like us that just want realistic.

Same here - even Runescape was pushing the limits of our computer, but it worked.

Right. We were running it on the lowest settings possible. Pretty blobby haha. But the great part about RS at the time was even at high graphic settings its wasnt that much better.

I grew up playing this game, which is what eventually led to me learning to program. Jagex shut the game down a while back, but a group of dedicated fans have recreated the server and kept it going.

Has your SN changed? Camhart is the name of a player I recall from the Reinet/SYI days. I went by DollarBill/Xenox.

SUP DollarBill it's Uriko, I 'member you and Camhart. I messaged Jinn a week or two ago

I always come back to runescape every couple years and the things i do in game speaks volumes to my mindset. Back when i first started playing I never really did much of anything really... explored around, tried quests and never thought of looking up a guide, talked to alot of people standing in the bank, played alot of minigames etc. etc. Years go by and I come back and i was hooked on efficiency. What wierd methods…

What sorta gp/hr are you making while flipping with your tool?

You can usually make around 8-10% a flip but doesn't scale very well past around 750M. Also, i never wrote an actual bot to make the trades.

I used to be really involved in RuneScape private server development in the early to mid 2010’s. It is to this day some of the most enjoyable programming I’ve done. The challenge presented by reverse engineering an obfuscated client and building a server framework off of that works almost like a puzzle game. There were a lot of really talented developers in the space, but unfortunately the predatory donation systems…

I've always wondered how private servers were developed. How was the netcode for private servers developed without any documentation? Were there source code leaks that helped?
