The problem with 2009 scape is that you are auto enrolled in the only guild there. And they have been there a while so they don’t pay much if any attention to a new player on the server. It’s a bad as RS3 with the give away xp.

Bottom line is they are all clique and not really looking to add any to themselves. If you want to play solo then that’s the place to go.

Damn, I see Lost City raised the bar. Tough crowd.

Make it truly open-source with MIT license.

Zero percent chance. In fact I’m surprised Lost City didn’t go AGPL as well.

(FWIW; MIT means people can copy the code to make private servers and not share their code back. AGPL means if you use the code, you also have to be open source)

pretty sure that server is dead, no? it’s just packed full of bots from what i recall

Lost City raised the bar. 2009scape had 1-3 players online for years, so we’re happy with anything more than that :slight_smile:

(Regarding bots: We added server-side bots to make the game feel more alive. Not as many people are interested in 2009 as 2004)

Is this satirical? Hot garbage

Correct, the devs put 10,000+ hours into the server and multiple players put 2,000+ hours to make this satirical forum post :slight_smile:

Anyways, here’s the update notes from April ~ 2009scape - More changes in Gielinor

2009Scape’s server and client code is pretty good!

Of course the client is good, Pazaz wrote it! 2009Scape / RT4 Client · GitLab

Very low population. And no economy. Gave it a try. Had high hopes. Sadly it needs work and players. I struggled to get the client sized to see what was going on and never was satisfied with it. Wish them luck and hope things change and improve.

I contributed hundreds of hours to 2009scape, but looking at my source from 2024 and the latest source as of today, my name has been removed from the credits of many files that I personally created.

Perhaps you can explain why people should contribute to and/or play 2009scape, given that the devs seem to lack morals?

If it gets committed; it’s open-source and benefits everyone else!

I like how the 4th top feature of this project that’s been in development since the beginning of time is that it’s pazaz endorsed.

That’s irrelevant. People stealing credit for your work is unethical, and any project that is okay with that deserves to fail.

First, you must have been one of the OGs contributing, so thank you :heart:.

What name were you using back then? For context, over the last 4-5 years most of the server has been rewritten into Kotlin, so it’s very possible your name wasn’t ported (assuming it was in a comment).

For context, the original codebase lives here, and you can see the contributors before the move to Gitlab here

I mean yes, but also that bullet is a bit of a meme (see the screenshot included for that line)
