July 2023 -

Going forwards, I’m going to start keeping track of the progress as the month goes on, because usually lots of cool things get discussed in the Discord but is hard to find at the end of the month. But regardless, here’s a quick highlight looking back:

Darkan.org - 2012 Remake

Darkan is the oldest remake on this list - It’s been developed for years by a veteran RSPS owner, with authentic dungeoneering support, multiple near-maxed players (on 1x exp rate), and more.

  • 38 new bug fixes/features
  • The first OSRS player to max is now active in Darkan’s Discord

2011scape.com - 2011 Remake

2011scape is a newer remake, so lots of the core and huge changes are always being done.

2009scape.org - 2009 Remake

With developers from 2004scape and OpenRSC, as well as dozens of contributors, 2009scape has an active playerbase and tons of content.

  • Huge release coming up next weekend, details will be in next month’s recap
  • HD Support for mobile has started development, you can read the developer’s blog here

2004scape.org - 2004 Remake

2004scape breaks records in RS reverse engineering. It’s the first with a real 2004 cache, has the most advanced RuneScript, and a webclient. It is the only one on this list that does not yet have a playable live server.

OpenRSC - 2003 & 2001 Remake

OpenRSC is fully complete. It supports mobile, web, botting, and always has 20+ online their bot-free worlds.

  • API changes for better website/2009scape integration
  • IdleRSC, a popular bot client, has migrated to a new maintainer on Github, and seen various improvements
