Shout out to the open source Runescape remakes
rsc.vet - 2003 era remake
2009scape.org - 2009 era remake
darkan.org - 2012 era remake
There are other open source remakes (2004, 2006) but they’re not as popular. I’ve actually contributed upstream to all 3 of the above, it’s a very nice community!
Oh no a massive time sink
(thanks! I have a lot of nostalgia for Runescape but don’t want to waste months of my life, so I’m considering getting a single player server up and running with a like 10x exp multiplier. Now to decide on 2003, 2009 or 2012…)
I downloaded a single-player server a while ago, 20x XP let me actually experience the damn game, lmao. It was neat, getting to see what I only got glimpses of as a child.
vidyascape.org also anon client
Vidyascape is the best real 07 remake, but is it open source?
I just found an quite old repo github.com/Terremer/VidyaScape and issue tracker with website code on gitlab.com/vscape
It seems the source is closed, but you can ask on irc.rizon.net OR odelvidyascape@gmail.com.
Thanks!
I played it a looong time ago, mined a lot lol.
Tried it later and it was more 3D-ish and I didn’t like that very much.
Any idea which one I should try out?
Cheers!
I would say play whichever era you played in the past :P. If you played RuneScape classic, OpenRSC (the 2003 remake) is the best, otherwise 2009scape is a good shout. You could also check out 2004scape.org, their beta starts soon
Those things normally get shutdown for copyright related claims though, no?
Historically, only for-profit ones have been shutdown
Good to know!

Thank you for this, I’m going to set up my own Open RSC server tonight.
