Just died and lost all of my stuff because the timer is set to 2 minutes for when I can collect my loot. Absolutely ridiculous, I’ve played for the last 3 months, like what’s the point in a two minute timer? Even if that’s how it was in 2004, there are some things that have been improved upon. I’ve enjoyed this game while I’ve been here, I enjoy the concept of being original 2004 style RuneScape, but this is where I gotta draw the line. I’ve made many friends here, and I’m gonna miss them, good luck and have fun to all of you!
I’m sorry to hear this, and am sad to see you go. We will be here if you change your mind in the future.
To anyone else who may read this thread – keep in mind that this is a preservation-first project! 2004 was much more dangerous time (deaths, random events, etc.) than modern RS.

The point of it was to the player fear dying.
Sorry but did it took you that long to realize a game from 2004 that’s constantly being changed till this day, both for creative vision or for satisfaying the playbase or investors is different from what it is now? Perhaps doing some beforehand reading would have saved you from that pain.
Preservation and authenticity are the most important factors when it comes to the Lost City Project, getting as close as possible through research and information. Many of the developers have spent time, money and effort to make it as close as they can.
For the live server, Pazaz has made a very few changes have altered some options due to the current day technology and audience we are working with, especially when it comes to moderation. Besides this, his goal has always been to keep it just like it was in that time period.
We are sorry to hear about your experience, and we understand it can be a challenging and frustrating part of this version. We hope that with time and our incredible volunteers, the game will continue to move forward, and at some point, hopefully be closer to what Runescape you’re wanting.
There are also several other RSPS options that have splintered off of Pazaz and Developers work- we even have a few advertised on these forums. Feel free to take a look through those and see if maybe that is more of what you’d like.
Thanks for playing, and we hope that you enjoyed your time here.
