Botting runescape is how many of us got into programming. Long live botting. If you want to do it, do it on an account that doesnt effect the economy.

for me it was autoHotKey, amazing programming language with a built in recorder!

Great scripting language, but has a pretty troubled past.

Once the original creator moved on from ownership, the new owner also had a business with Runescape botting.

The story is that it didn't go well for the maintainers of Autohotkey until another person took the reigns.

I've always imagined my last few days on earth as being in a nursing home playing Runescape Classic (2001-2003 runescape) with just me and a bunch of bots, recreating the glory days.

Open RuneScape Classic[0] literally has a live server with hundreds of bots for you to do that.. today!

Back before ClusterFlutter (which was just a lot of Java object type-casting, large multi-dimentional arrays, and overflow math) botting was pretty easy to write yourself with very little JVM knowledge.

Bans were (and still are) pretty hard to come by as long as you pay for a membership.

Don't forget color bots!

I used to play on the regular world (RSC Preservation, non-bot). There's not enough people. And probably won't be hardly anyone there when I'm old enough to be in a nursing home.

I could join the bot worlds, but I'm fairly certain that they don't talk much or behave like a normal player in general (stumble through quests, make friends, trade with other random players, etc.). They probably just grind skills in some optimal way.

Does AutoRune still work on there with auto catcher when PKing? The concept of "having catch" on another player based on player ID was just crazy. All these weird bugs that ended up being core mechanics of PKing.

Holy shit.

How realistic are they?
