I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!
Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.
It’s kind of crazy how they have been looking for this for so long and nothing has turned up despite the games popularity.
Sadly, my old computer that possibly could have had this ended up in the garbage years and years ago.
This is why I think it’s funny people still believe ‘the Internet is forever’. Data disappears all the time. If you really start paying attention it’s scary how ephemeral the Internet truly is and how much is lost all the time.
time for all of us to volunteer at your garbage dump like that dude who offered to buy his local garbage dump because his Bitcoin hard drive might be there
Yikes. That is a shame.
