Dog Abuse edition>What is 2004scape?2004scape is the live 2004 server of the Lost City project, a project aimed at recreating lost Runescape versions, down to the Runescript.Every cache revision that is available will slowly be recreated by the Lost City project, after every feature has been tested.The Lost City engine is the best engine to ever reach the private server scene.This server will have NO Quality Of Life features, and will exclusively be a recreation, not catering to playability.https://lostcity.rs/t/faq-what-is-lost-city/16>What day is it?May 18th has come and gone, now the Lost City project is on July 13th 2004! The dark lands of Morytania has opened its gates!All Free-to-Play and Members content of Runescape up to that day is available to play, at a normal 1x XP rate.https://2004.lostcity.rs/news/219>What content will be available?The Lost City project hopes to recreate a bunch of lost versions, and content will slowly update to match later revisions, and it will eventually launch 2005scape, etc. The current goal is to reach May 2nd 2006, with the eventual hope of recreating lost versions after that as well.https://2004.lostcity.rs/news/215>Linkshttps://2004.lostcity.rs/titlehttps://2004scape.orglast thread >>1865993
>>2027584i had to line up for the kill but it was worth it
Vscape is better
Picked up 2004 again. What are we all up to?I'm quickly realizing that grinding towards glory amulets is fucktardedly difficult
>2004 werewolvesSoul...>>2028006>What are we all up to?I just got into Canifis, so Nature Spirit. I'll probably be training my agility up later, then focusing on combat since Kalphite Queen is the next update
>>2028095Very curious how an 04 KQ fight will look like, I assume there's almost no shot in clearing her without an army of noobs poking away with their dlongs
im new to lost city :3
>>2029459Don't bother. This server us completely dead.
>brass key>scimitar in hand>cut through hill giants, still feeling as good as it did 20 years ago
>>2028095you can see these models on vscape btwcan see both 2007 and non-2007 models, superior game really
>>2029745This. Reminder that 2004scape, after years of development, will stop at 2006. Vscape will always have 2007 content up until GE ignoring buy-x because there is not enough data to justify adding it in accurately.
>>2029745>>2030528You're advertising vscape on a thread with 5 other people and half of them have already play it. Put your efforts elsewhere if you want players
>in the process of making 3k orbs>realize there is only one source of bstaffsoh this is gonna be bad huh
>>2030872Nobody wants you fags on vscape.You kept shitting up the vscape thread with your bots and now you get a little bit of revenge.Suffer and dilate.
>>2031311cope and seethe.
Any major updates in 2004 that drastically change the game from the launch version? Throne of Miscellania comes out somewhere in this year right?
what are we all doing in varrock?
>>2032637Not a single real player in this picture.2004scape might be inauthentic when it comes to core mechanics, but damn did they manage to replicate the bot problem. Kudos.
>>2032637No idea. Got to sell some junk and saw a diddy party in varrock west though
>>2031717>Any major updates in 2004 that drastically change the game from the launch version?Flax picking update>Throne of Miscellania comes out somewhere in this year right?Throne of Miscellania was late November
>>2032668Naw, the server doesn't update at the same pace as actual RS since it's a few guys working in their spare time. We'll get KQ as the next update probably in December and Miscellania sometime early next year
>>2027766Vscape OC is next level. Why can't 2004scape into OC? It's always the same sludge.
>>2033215because our OC are pk vidshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPbB2WnkPcA
>>2033821>Soul 99/99
>server pop drops off significantly after the rare eventpeople really are just waiting for the slayer update to drop, aren't they? Too bad it's about a year off at this rate
>>2036624Plain 2004 feels very much like f2p+ rather than a full blown members world. You get just enough content to feel like you're a step above f2p but not enough to really bring out the strengths of the game. Pretty cool though I'm still enjoying it. Also, with almost no make-all you can't retain a big chunk of the casual playerbase as their afk options are quite limited.
I was mining ess and suspected a bot. I door slammed them from leaving, they sat for a minute and then eventually teled back to mine more ess with a fully inventory.
>>2037013did you do that to me??? i was blitzed mining ess, thought i already banked since i was still standing at aubury, then teled back in with a full inv and was so confused
anons say this is a pozzed server, but during the rare event everyone was obviously using 'digger' as an excuse to say nigger
>>2038465Lol no. Vast majority of the player base is made of reddit-tier faggots, like Slayermusiq and his fanbase. Stop the delusions.
>>2038779>he says>while reddit spacing
>>2038787Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!I can just tell that brown hands wrote that.
>>2038465the server was pozzed since day 1>troon mods>banning door closers>banning players who spoke against moderatorsthen they added verification requirements via discord (?!?!?!) and inauthentic ways to get rares like its a gacha or some shit (?!?!?!?!?!?!)If you speak to why people here don't want to play Vscape, its because "they are muh toxic".
Thoughts on herb grinding? What is the go-to spot for getting a good amount of these in 04? Chaos druids so far have been very generous, I was also trying men in lumbridge & edgeville with their added bonus of easy clues but the lack of gem drop table kinda sucks. Anyone tried other spots like Tribesmen, Thugs or Jogres? Any good place I'm still missing?
>>2039738Chaos druid warriors are also nice as they drop two at once kind of often, but I'm thinking I'll wait for farming (in three years)
>>2039177people don't want to play vscape because it's a dead server
>>2040084Its been alive for 11 years and has stood the test of time. Can your server say the same?

>>2027584Does this still require Discord?>>2039177>If you speak to why people here don't want to play Vscape, its because "they are muh toxic".I'm more interested in preservation projects than closed-source private servers. Period-correct gamer toxicity etc. sounds fun otherwise.
>deep wildy has an actual niche in 2004 by having perma aggro mobs to afk grind onthat's real fuckin neato
>stracti still undetected>pretty sure I must have the most rune ess on the server atmHow the fuck is this account still going bros? Troons can't into detection?
how much can i get away with being a bigot in this game without being muted or banned
>>2080774>all servers are about 20 players or lesswait wtf
>>2080779:(
>>2080944it had 28 playersidk im not invested in this at all i was just passing by and started getting sucked in by nostalgia
>>2080956>>2080944*28 players in its 1 server, this has more servers with like 100 people total. i guess you guys know this
>>2058986vscape is a preservation project, it already complete what this tranny server is going to take 20 years to do
>>2081312>vscape is a preservation projectLol
Never played rs or osrs before, should I play on 2004scape or 2009scape?
>>2083138>global chatI wish lost city had this, unironically
>>20838012009scape has 'immersive bots'just wait for lost city to get slayer
home is where you make it
>>2085731but doesn't lost city has fagg mods who ban u for nothing? do they let u say whatever
>>2096681Pazaz is too scared to ban people anymore now that the player count dropped from the 1000s to 100
>>2083138there are options to make it exactly like 2007 you speng. you control the buttons you click.also, preservation project with discord verification, rares given out like anti-macro events, twitch streamer specific changes, tranny mods, bugs not present in og game, guessed at rates for skills.... lol?>>2083202name one 2007 server besides vscape
are private servers risky? i wanna play 2006scape, vidyascape, 2009scape, darkan, and many more. are keyloggers a meme or do private servers fr just steal ur shit lol
>>2107638i unironically played darkan but they all pissed me off so i spammed the n word 40 times and then i went on 2009scape but i forgot i used the same username and they ip banned me. gg...
>>2107638You can examine the code of any of the FOSS projects and assess whether or not it looks like a keylogger. The general consensus seems to be that these publicly auditable games are safe.
>>2110097i got banned from the servers for flooding the n word....i really wish jagex would just host older versions of the game themselves but redditors say "there's no demand bro we already have that with osrs"im here. im the demand.give me official 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 with no updates, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (before eoc and mtx)am i the only person who wants all of the old game iterations preserved?
>>2110139>give me [...] 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 with no updates, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (before eoc and mtx)>am i the only person who wants all of the old game iterations preserved?check this out, nigger:https://rs-archive.github.io/
>>2110306check this out nigger:those are uni ronically just archives of the game assets. like navigating to a folder of a steam install and being like wow the game is preserved because i have these files of the game models : ) better put them on my hard disk drive to keep safe!!
they arent even functional i cant play with anyone who cares
>>2110139Jagex probably doesn't even have copies of those old versions themselves.Brits apparently can preserve 1000 year old artifacts, paintings and other historical stuff, but shit the bed when it comes to media. Fuck the britbongs.
>>2110517>probably doesn'tEven though version control was invented in America decades prior to Classic Jagex didn't use it until 2012. OSRS only exists because they're bad enough at preservation that they misplaced a 2007 backup tape before they had the chance to overwrite it and then rediscovered it years later. >It’s known they did not have traditional source control until 2012 and on. There were supposedly tape backups taken on regular intervals, but those are gone. OSRS was restored from a full tape backup they managed to find.>Before that, Jagex worked out of 3 folders: WIP, RC, and LIVE. Developers recorded the files they edited in WIP, and an Upload Manager copied them into RC manually using best judgement as needed. After testing, RC became LIVE.>In simpler terms, the game was constantly being overwritten with no automated change logs to track versions or rewind history.https://lostcity.rs/t/faq-what-is-lost-city/16>Jagex unfortunately didn't start keeping systemic backups until 2012, with RuneScape Classic and the OSRS source code being the only exceptions. https://rs-archive.github.io/faq.html>Fuck the britbongs.Most of the good ones left for America generations ago or died in the World Wars.>>2110425>>2110377Projects in line with those archival efforts allow for functional private servers. While there may not currently be the exact 20xxScape variant which tickles your 'tism the RuneScape Archive, Lost City, etc. will be what makes it happen eventually. You can increase the likelihood of these projects succeeding by making high quality contributions.
>>2111293>Projects in line with those archival efforts allow for functional private servers?? do you know why 2004scape is the only project "in line" with that site? because it took literal years to even have a working prototype of a game made from scratch. and now its worthless shit tainted by trannies and discord. give it up, RS will never be preserved unless jagex themselves releases that 07 backup
>>2111959>?? do you know why 2004scape is the only project "in line" with that site?It's not, e.g. 2009scape and OpenRSC. >2004scape is[...] shit tainted by trannies and discord.Host your own instance with chuds and matrix. >give it up, RS will never be preserved unless jagex themselves releases that 07 backupIf everyone were a whiny doomer like you nobody would ever do anything worthwhile or interesting.
>>2112795I understand your complaint. It is a short-term-thinking niggerbrain complaint in the broader context of retroscape preservation.
>>2031006based orb crafter>>2042283i believe in youbtw just divide this number by 2.25
>>2112346>>>>2009scapeLMAOone time i went to look at their open source and saw a nested block of code like 15 indents deep. only thing thats preserving is the retardation of RSPS "devs"
Info about the next update>Currently, we’ve finished:>Brimhaven Agility Arena>Chompy Hats>Agility potions, Super restore potions, Energy potions, Magic potions>Party room changes (cheaper to pull + clearing junk)>Maze, Strange Box, and Mime random events>Death Plateau Quest>Things are getting pretty close!>We have some tasks still left in progress:>Duel Arena engine/interface changes>Kalphite Queen (WIP - Tannerdino)>Troll Stronghold (WIP - Indio)>Quest Journals - less than 15 left!It looks like it might get released on Christmas at the pace they've been going at
you know what, farming green dhides to sell them for blue dhides is kinda brilliant. when gems become available in your game, try ruby bracelets. save cosmics for orbs obviously
2004scape or vscape?
>>2122755>>Quest Journals - less than 15 left!try february
>>2119531Whitespace formatting is a trivial complaint in the context of the reputation of Jagex's spaghetti.
>>2130173no it absolutely is not, and its not just whitespace formatting, it was like 15 nested conditions either ifs or switch/case i cant recall. thats spaghetti and complete 60iq programming.... W
this is a failed, tranny infested, project.vscape won.
ive heard rumors that a 2004scape server with no tranny mods and without chat filter is being worked on
>>2122755Update: Everything's done except for the Legend's Quest journal, they're moving onto the polishing phase this weekend>As for quest journals, we just have one left: Legends Quest>Before 254 can be considered “preserved” we also have to do a pass of polishing: re-testing everything we added/changed, and trying to find anything we missed or overlooked. This’ll take some time but very necessary.>Strong foundations are important and of course we’re always addressing old bugs along the way too.>I’m going to try and get some contributors together to run through things with me on a staging world this weekend.
i really want to play this server but i think it's incredibly strange that it requires you to make a discord account. im just trying to play 2004 runescape lol
is there a digit missing here? went to play and thought this server had 1000+ from reddit posts. what gives?
>>2142239the entire mod team consists of trannies
>>2125591Vscape looks ight but 2004scape is more my cup of tea. Too bad it gets like 140 ppl a day only now. Tranny jannies being stupid faggots aside I never played a private server as much as this>>2142239people got burned out
>>2146866burned out on the best recreation of all time? lmao what, how is that even possible. what am i missing here
based rare drop table
ready for piety in 10 years
Update today, the server will be back up in about a hour. How many of you are ready for KQ?
>>2165916Logged at shantay pass, might try to get a solo kill in before inevitably getting crashed shouldn't be too hard with it only having mage attacks
Lame ass update. Fuck the Gowers for letting cannons be a thing and fuck the devs for only opening 3 worlds for it.
I haven't played since the first week of release. Thinkign about coming back...
>>2167157lmfao
>>2171166w-what are you laughing at ;_;
>>2167157dang you could've been somebody
I'm on my grind to get 60 attack.
You know what, I love this game because it's like reliving my childhood. People min/maxing are missing the point entirely. I love the preservation angle, I love the 1x XPBUTI just want middle mouse bottom look, that's the only QoL I want, just that. Please.
>>2175683friggin beast
>>2175683holy mackerel
>>2175854to bad. you only get discord login and troon mod QoL.
i gave this server an honest shot but 2004 is just too fucking boring especially at 1x xp. it had potential but it's just too authentic for its own good.
>>2177387just do the basic noob stuff and wait until 2005 brotha it will be fire thenplenty of time until then as well. take ur time
I did it. Got a full rune set, too.
Oh my goddddddddd, a 20
kino is on the update menu boys
>>2180418Wow, this is already all on Vscape by the way.
>>2180520Okie get a triple digit playerbase and I will play!
>>2180520yeah thats what i dont get about private servers. literally no preservation servers rs server makes sense. it's not like turtle wow where there is actual new content. it's usually just the original game but worse because the staff always suck.
>>2180566Agree and disagree with this post The staff can suck but if you aren't retarded it's not an issuePreservation makes a lot of sense because everything else is not authentic. OSRS is Rs3 with old school graphics, everything else is dead.
>>2180520what's that?
>>2180564>>>>2004scape>>>>>>>>>>>>even above 30 playersSweety, bots dont count.
>>2181545massive cope
>>2181956Now he's saying "c-cope" about people stating 2004scapes botting problem? Topkek xD
god this server is faggy, should advertise on bluesky instead honestly.
>>2181957massive cope
>>2181962>>2181956i play osrs, but keep crying about your shitty ass dead server nobody wants to play. I also do ironman btw so idgaf about osrs's bot problem
>>2181965enjoy 1gp pess and your horrible economy lil bro
>>2181988lmfao at you and your dead server, ironmen dont need to worry about the economy by the way :v)?
>>2181988massive cope
>>2181991you play an ironman because the economy is so bad on osrs >i j-just don't care!!massive cope
>>2182022ok but I have 25+ years of updates, you have to take months just to add a couple. imagine being this delusional LOL. Even Vscape is miles ahead of you.
>>218202425 years of babyscape player voted crap >Even Vscape is miles ahead of you.And it still has 4x less player count. It died in 2019
>>2182032Wow, I like manually clicking to cook each fish! That's probably why you have a botting problem. Btw, Vscape has 2007, while you will never have 2007. L M F A O. But keep coping I'm having a genuine laugh at you. 2004scape is so ass.
>>2182038Make X is coming next update, but keep coping!!
>>2182045>Bro just play for years until QoL is added in!Fuck no
>>2182046>server up for MORE THAN 10 YEARS>must have a great quadruple digit community since it has so much content and history!...>30 players onlineL O L
>>2182063>Pay ecelebs and nonstop shilling campaign...>20 players (not bots)L O L
>>2182066the moderation is strict enough to not have any bots and you know that.
>>2182070massive cope
>>2182091There is no coping here, and there is no bot problem. You are just upset everytime you type /vm/scape that you see the 2004 thread higher on the catalog than vscape so you kick your feet and scream about it and lie about the server.
>>2182099>>>>>>>>>>>>There is no coping here, but..........
Vscape > OSRS > other RSPS > 2004 "ban all door closers" scape
>>2182101I accept your concession.
>played runescape from launch to 2021>quit because jagex sucks>probably at least 50 ppl would follow me to any server i playedi would be the target demographic for these runescape private servers but every time i click one of the threads its just a bunch of shit-flinging lol
>>2182208it's one singular retard from vscape that gets triggered by the existence of this thread. dont let that one poster have control over your decision to play, most people in-game dont care about 4chan. they care about authenticity which is what actually matters
>>2182208Yeah its shitposting for the most part. 2004scape if you want a version that will update with time to 2006 (hard limited due to encrypted cache updates). Vscape if you want everything pre-ge with some liberties taken. There are also 2009scape, 2011scape, Darkan, etc.
lfg
>>2183067hello trannydino.estimated timeline on reaching 2006? by the year 2036?care to explain how vscape has all 2007 content if the cache updates are "encrypted"?
>>2183067>update with time to 2006 (hard limited due to encrypted cache updates)They're planning to go up to 2012, it's just going to be like 5x times harder to do with post-2006 encrypted stuff
>>2187448eh i highly doubt anyone would even want to play later iterations of the game. 2009scape exists and gets 30 players and 2012scape exists and gets like 10. the reason private servers will never truly take off is because there's nothing here except an art gallery/museum. mmos are meant to evolve.
>>21899012009scape has a lot of goofy unauthentic things, and who cares about 2012 this does evolve by definition, albeit very slowlythousands of players were online at once daily playing the f2p version of 2004. today thousands of players log in every week. just think about that
>>2189923yeah but now the server averages 200 players max. so my point remains
>>2027584I thought the dragon med helm was considered ultra rare and highly valuable in the original RS2 before Barrows yet 3 people are wearing one in your pic. Am I remembering something wrong?...Nevermind. I just checked the hiscores and saw the 99-all autists on the first page which explains everything. If I hadn't forgotten my pre-Discord 2004scape account name and password I would pop back in to take a look. I guess I'll never be able to join this server now.
>>2189901>mmos are meant to evolvehello jagex
>>2190824i mean they are. companies just refuse to do them at anything other than a glacial (as in extremely slow) pace. why hasn't official classic+ happened for wow? simple. blizzard doesnt want to lol.
>>2198995
the autumn elegy video just dropped
>>2206368200m thieving on a private server jfc
>>2206450left click thieving is free
I started playing this then i figured whats the point
I change my mind i cant stop thinking ab 2004 runey
>>2207039thank you. i have no idea why people waste their time on private servers.
>>2207093i have no idea why they waste their time on the 'real game' (private server that jagex just happens to host) either
>>2207646i play runescape 3 not osrs
>>2207705lol
>>2207705My condolences
>>2206368>3 minutes intro and he starts off with 200m thievingi fucking kneel holy shit
>>2204761nice combat stats, is the 2004 meta just grinding out on fire giants & afking wildy or are there some good lesser known alternatives?
>>2211103Fire giants I don't think are -the- meta, just a good balance between money and xp Green drags are the best way to get combat xp and money, but obviously not afk or comfyMoss Giants (seen below) I think are the best xp rates an hour www.lostcitylabs.com/skillratesWorth checking out, although I don't agree with some stuff like nats at 91-99 rc as fire runes are obviously better
>>2211103At mid level, it seems I have 3 choices:>hobgoblins for money>moss giants>baby blue dragons for prayer
>>2211619Oh yeah, and chaos druids are obviously top tier as well
This shit still going a year later? I remember making fake pics of the mods threatening players for playing the game wrong and spreading all sorts of FUD back when it was new. Good times.
>>2207093why not? Jagex deleted your RS2 progress too. Nothing is forever
>>2206368and he used the op image, curious
>>2212275>Jagex deleted your RS2 progress tooNo they didn't. You can log in to your RSC or RS2 account right this very moment and still have all your items and xp.
>>2211619Damn they already have a CML-like site up for 04scape? Very interesting data, but for non-poopsockers it def makes more sense to go for gp/xp rather than pure gains. Depending on how active wildy is you can get away with some impressive auto retal afk methods in certain areas of the map.
>>2212290>hurr durr in RS3just as good as deleting it
>>2212466honestly just do whatever you feel like. that's the best way to play i kill a lot of fire giants and trade the key halves for glories so i get a good stack to rechargei afk yews with a goblin hitting me when i dont feel like playingyou can also plan around updates since we know what's coming. I've only been training ranged as fremmy helm is coming soon(ish) with rock crabs so what's the point of melee until then.. and with the fletch X update with that I can make all my yews into bows to alch. ez gaem
>>2212485That site paints a pretty good picture on what most people are sticking to. Chop trees, chop heads, harass guards. Good activities in 04scape
My combat level is 67.
>>2215170we're all boomers here come back when you're 69 for us to get the joke
>>2215170Im almost there, brother
>>2219034seems you heard of it
started playing this yesterday... feels good to make solid money from mining rune essence and picking flax
im extremely well versed in runescape ive been playing since 2009 (was born in 2000 but am actually the universe/god experience itself so technically unborn)i played the runescape classic private servers and its just too far back. you have to wait for the individual lines of text to appear above the npcs head...slowly...one by one. would've been comfy back in 2001 tho!i played 2004scape and i appreciate it for what it is - but having to make a discord to even play is fucking retarded. but it does have like 200 players on at any given moment which is pretty impressive. but it's a bit too authentic for my taste. i also do genuinely feel all private servers should have the OPTION of boosted xp. 1x with 2004 rates is just not fun. but it's still comfy to walk around the world but it wears off fast imo.i played 2007scape and it's interesting but the issue with this server is you start asking yourself why you arent just playing actual osrs. the problem with the older versions of the game is there is really no utility for skill at the higher levels. you are just grinding to grind. but i appreciate this existing.2009scape is comfy and the year i started playing. i really love this server and it has boosted xp rates - but sadly there is just too much content missing to truly play this seriously. what could've been.2012scape/darkan is in a similar state. it's 2012 runescape with no eoc or microtransactions, but it's missing so much content it's nto really worth playing. it does have worlds with 25x xp and 100x xp multipliers though! which more private servers should have.i highly recommend not playing ANY private server other than the ones i've mentioned. trust me, they are ALL dogshit.
>>2239114I see you on /v/.
this game is ass with its 90 second logout lmfaofucking fix your fucking game like jagex did. they increased it to 5 mins and even vscape has a 10 min logout so no excuse fuck preservation fuck this server
bro is trying to AFK... lock in
ok i dont like the market being a 3rd party app that also wants access to my discord and to read my email addressit was bad enough having to give that to the lead dev or w/e but now i gotta give it to every random app maker too? or else i get nickel and dimed on every transaction because people who but up buy offers always scam a little
>>2187448>going to be like 5x times harder to do with post-2006 encrypted stuffagain, explain how vscape has all 2007 content then? even dogshit servers liek 2009 and 2012 have it. I thought 2004scape devs were the 'best to ever do it'? and they can't figure out some file data? maybe they should stick to discord and gender identity debates.
how do the discontinued items work in this game? hella sketchy that some people have these items worth like 100x more than the most expensive item on a private server like this
>>2242130>explain how vscape has all 2007 content then? even dogshit servers liek 2009 and 2012 have it.because vscape has been worked on since 2014 and 2009/2012scape are missing a lot of content
>>2242342it was some random dice rolls for everyone last year, you either got lucky or didn't
>>2242364alright that's not so bad i guess, so long as t he total amount is like trackable or something idk
>>2242002man wtf.. i caved in and gave access to this market site only for some drama shit to happen and for it to be closed down... they better get this integrity shit sorted out
>die and get stacked out in the iban death cutscene>lose all the runes and some gear>make the trek back to get klanks gauntlets>the little jew I saved from being stuck in a cave for decades wants me to pay FIVE THOUSAND gp for a pair nowFucking dwarves you wouldn't see the gnomes doing this shit
bruh
>>2243690should've played authentically anon
Apparently you can buy items/gp with crypto from the server owner
>>2242130After mid-2006 all the loc(ation) data started to be encrypted, which is objects placed on the landscape(walls, trees, fences, etc.). The underlying terrain is not encrypted. The keys are strongly randomly generated and change any time the map is touched by the devs. Tons of keys were never grabbed because the only people that were dumping them back then were bot makers and they just dumped keys for regions that bots would operate in. Most other private servers use a hodgepodge of map data from different versions or manually recreated areas.Fortunately, though, August 2007(the version used by OSRS) has a 100% complete set of keys which likely came from a jmod.OSRS still encrypts maps to this day but RS3 dropped the crypto back in like 2011/2012.
>>2242364are they gonna do them again next year?
only 200 ppl playing? dead
project zanaris will mog all these cope servers into oblivionosrs will be the next roblox
why should I play this instead of a real MMO like maplestory?
>>2256041you shouldn't, this is for hardcore runescape oldfag autists only
>>2027584Retro
>>2207093I got so bored of GEscape I spent 400$ on gp, played castle wars with my maxset for a while, then quit
picked up again, you can never truly quitgoals - hit 80 crafting and 70 rangehill giants are max comf
The only thing keeping me from playing this again is the resolution, the arrow-key turning and the logout timer.I may be addicted to QOL
>>2267979Lack of qol sucks pretty bad, you get used to it. Majority of the good content is semi afk, combat fishing/woodcutting. I'm waiting for those "make-x" updates and sticking to the good stuff in the meantime
>>2267406fuck yeah black dhide unlocked
k i completed legends quest, game over
all of the crafting methods are brutally slow in 04.horseshoe gold maybe?shilo gem rocks?bstaves are a lotta gp but that's as far as my cope goes so far
>>2273017>>2271628>>2271092What's going on with these posts. Are you bumping the thread or?
>>2273021whoa, do NOT group my post with those other onesi beat legend's quest meaning i beat the game (as it stands currently) that's a big achievement to announce
>>2239187>>2240137>>2240167>>2240203Looking through this thread it turns out there's a lot of these nonsensical posts
>>2273035So are you a bot or just lonely? Want someone to talk with?
>>2249879ok so it isnt a problem for 2004scape then, and anyone saying otherwise is being disingenuous or outright lying. got it
glory crafting SOONI'm boosing with the poison chalice & stopping at 79 fuck this skill
>>2212671Nearly gained 4b xp total since this pic
>>2284844Isn't this the guy who got screwed over because he simp mined for the guy who made the first Rune Scimmys, just immediately for that guy to get hacked and they both lost everything?
>>2285805yea he's famous on Vscape too.
>>2289627In classic, there was no run energy, and everyone moved at the pace of walking. Rs2 is lightning-speed. As fast as DSL.
Last update before 2005scape is coming in April
>>2300287>cwars, frem helms, fletch X and osrs leagues coming out next monthruney bros we are eatin
>>2046362>>2045547when I think of old runescape I think of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj58pVrlEx4
>>2304919I'm holding out for Slayer, we'll probably get it in like July or August at this rate
>>2300287will the next general stay as 2004scape or renamed to 2005scape general? or lost city general? lostscape? lcscape?
>>2335942the next updates are still end of 04 updates. the one after is when it changes to 05
>>2337398any1 up for hero's quest? Any1 wanna be an hero?

>>2343501nice, you replied to me but im a pure.
>>2243690>>2246953Seriously? Where can I read more about this?
when is the partyhat dupe update going to drop?
The next game update is in May
how much money do yall have? I have like 100m cash and 800 in rares. i got rid of everything else but runes.
>>2394659i'm a brokefag, been sitting on like 1m
>>2394659my bank is ~40-50m max
>>2313746wait really? dscim comes AFTER whip? so you have to dlong/runescim your way to 85 slayer if you don't wanna wait?
who's playing the leagues and how far are u all and what's ur goals
Quests are for gays
>>2411982yeahin my opinion you should just range everything because it's better dps, especially with zam book coming out
So how long will the next update be after this one drops? Half a year? and is he going to do Dec04 or Jan05?
>>2435373seems like it usually takes them 3 or 4 months between updates, so maybe by august. they don't have a december cache, so jan05 is the next one.
>>2435373somewhere on the website theres a whole development blog if youre really interested in whats going on
>vscape is shut down nowwhat does this mean for 2004scape????
>>2455630Nothing, since they're just changing hosts
>>2455677Its over for vscape then
>>2216789My combat level is 69.
>>2473943why?
i just cant do 2004scape its so fuckin boring. instead i ended up repeatedly killing the mobs this guy was splashing on and he had a meltie.
Oh my fucking god. I just died to a zammy wizard because I misclicked on my restore pot. He hit me for a 17. I lost my blue dhide!
>>2483455good. private severs are dumb.
now i can make weapon poison
>>2488634get that thieving up, boy
>>2492062i would rather die than to the grind to 82 that shit is horrible if you have to right click
>>2492160double tapping on mobile is a lot easier, but may be a little sacrilegious
whos got rares?
Fuck yea
Should I play the official server or offline
>>2504174If you want to play with no one around just play vscape
>>2507591I'd rather not get stalked by odel and banned by him for calling him a he instead of a she
God damn some nigga really hit 200m wc on this server? What are people doing with their lives
>>2507847>he doesn't know about rank 1 thieving
>>2504174The official server, you can transfer your character from the live server to a local server whenever you want if you decide to
>>2507847well there is a good chance that some of these people did in fact cheat. they staff say cheaters will be banned and that you cant cheat but this is historically disproven. most rsps consist of cheaters.now you do have autumn elegy you probably did legitimately get 200m thieving on this shit because he is a dumbass. if you think 2004scape wont get shut down at some point you are a fool. even 2007scape got shut down recently although apparently it still works in europe.rsps WILL get shut down if they are too popular and i'd estimate it's a ticking time bomb for 2004scape.
>>2510201>because he is a dumbass.He is based.
>>2510201It's genuinely suspicious how 2004scape didn't get taken down yet, I was theorizing a few years ago when it got popular around launch that they have some kind of deal with Jagex. You can't really call it a conspiracy considering Jagex has done this before with other projects like OSBuddy, it's really weird how 2005scape was shut down as fast as it was along with dozens of other RSPS at the same time but somehow 2004scape bypassed that C&D wave, maybe they have a method nobody else tried before to avoid them?
>>2510342Regardless they need to get off GitHub at least, so easy for a DMCA to happen there. I play locally for this exact reason
Are there any UIM playing this server?
>>2510697uim is not a game mode on this server. this server is a 2004 time capsule
>>2510731If you're not self-restricting yourself to UIM, you didn't best the game
who is the hamhouse of 2004scape?
>>2510532>i play locally how do you actually grind with the ability to get 99 all in one command i dont get it
>>2512790Perks of being white
Dog = Good Dog
the mystery box
As someone who has actually played all of the preservation servers. Just don't. RSC is a meme. 2004scape is a meme. Vidyascape is a meme. 2009scape is a meme. 2012scape is a meme. The problem is most of these servers will never actually truly recreate their specific era of the game. 2004scape and 2007scape sort of have, but the magic is gone. And you're also locked to a specific year which is retarded if you stop to think about it.I think RS3 has some fun to be had but you can't take it too seriously. If you start getting an ego on your clicker game this shit will just not be fun anymore. OSRS is okay too I guess. I think ironman actually is the best way to play the game, ultimately, because the GE actually does make both games tremendously boring. But main is fine too. Just don't buy bonds. I would endorse mainscape more often if bonds simply did not exist. I really dislike mtx - but I will say that bonds are kind of a necessary evil as they do allow people to play for free. It is kind of nice being untethered from the USD.Sorry for the schizo ramble but I think both RS3 and OSRS are genuinely unique enough to still be worth playing. I do think Runelite and stuff kind of destroyed the soul the game originally had. But I guess games evolve and here we are. I don't think it's entirely too late though? Hopefully Jagex can backpedal some of their garbage game design but Redditors love their slop, idk.You really just don't get the perfect game anymore. That's designated to Jak 2 on the PS2 or the OG Ratchet and Clank. Games that do not update. Don't worry though, I will be making my kino in Godot soon.
>>2510342if it kept having 2k players would be a genuine risk, but now it's probably just too small to matter. i remember there was some rumor going around that server was safe from this early in beta, but somehow i doubt paz made himself undoxable and/or is in a safely ignore jursdiction. hope it keeps going i cant play other forms of rs>>2512838or autistic>>2513503magic may not be exactly the same but 2004scape is so much comfier, especially since fagex cant help but completely homocize and faggotize the artstyle in osrs in the direction of rs3, bots ruining the economy, powercreep being off the charts, etc etc. I say this as someone that has a max pure, I just have 0 desire to jump on. plus my parents never got me p2p because they thought theyd have their credit card stolen, so some of the magic is there for me in discovering this content instead of being overwhelmed by loads and loads of slop on os. I love the aesthetic and simplicity is all.
why not on 4chan
if they cant expect me to find it then im the wizard
>>2513503No way bro is copying posts of /v/
its a good post giv e me a cmon man
>>2513777i am single handedly propping up runescape discussion across the site, give me a break.have you SEEN the osg generals? those things are not fit for discussion. not even close.
>>2513602The trick is the server software, client software, and game assets are all separate repos. Will this work if jagex goes after them? Who knows
Has anyone made a runelite client for this shit yet I need like resizable and zoom and mouse wheel to move camera and tile markers
>>2517129my middle mouse button broke so i use arrow keys on vscape
>>2517129would be against the rules
>>2517129Just don't play this shitty ass server bro. I've been telling people for a year that all RSPS including 2004scape are soulless.
>>2520885None of those are possible to detect. Anyways vibecoding it was ez
the ancient texts
>>2517129Oh and shift click drop
UPDATE TOMORROW BOYS
this God Foose fella is pretty based ngl. He's been camping one of the mods at the wildy agility course and you can tell hes kvetching he can't ban him for it. Even tried to claim 'sit doggy' is offensive language
>>2525314he's a shitter killing naked agility trainers and runs when an actual pker shows up otherwise i'd agree
>>2525314incredibly based. 2004 """individuals""" get the rope.
Can I just use the same character save when I change client versions locally.
>>2526427pretty sure I heard someone say you can, not sure how tho
>>2526514I'll just back up my save and patches to add wasd camera and better auto scaling just in case.
1 HOUR LADIES
>>252684212 minutes now
If you're playing locally, make sure to backup your files before changing version as it will wipe everything.
>>2526964haha whoops 30 mins off
>>2527009This project has such piss poor operations, such a convoluted mess to get things running. Huge glaring issues like wiping player saves for a version change is complete nonsense
>haven't played since last year>try to login>your account has been disabled. check message-centre>check message-centre>nothing there???
>>2527118i think they did a mass ban over a year ago. not even joking it was a pretty big controversy.that's why i've repeatedly said not to waste your time on a fucking private server. you can and will get fucked over.it's also possibly you typed something that went against the liberal agenda of the staff. they are highly liberal.
>>2527118No one can login atm
>>2527128I didn't interact with enough people to warrant a ban from chat. I submitted a ticket hopefully they get back to me. Turned on MFA and linked discord as well (thought that was the issue but it didn't resolve my login problems)We shall see. I would play offline but npm stuff is a pain on my OS. There's also this https://github.com/johnson-cooper/lost-city-progressive which is interesting
I'm in, W3 has problems so pick a different world. What's everyone doing first?
>>2527173getting that godbook
I personally wish Jagex would just shut 2004scape the fuck down. I'd rather Jagex themselves host this shit. Cannot stand the people who run this shit. It's not their IP and they just don't deserve to be running it. Same goes for any preservation server. They're all retarded as fuck. Jagex is retarded too but at least they are official.
>>2527173Shades while there's a lot of people on
>>2527191if they didn't take it down at its peak with 1k+ players including mmk i doubt they will now. maybe if they update it too close to the 2007 build they might
>>2527173got my berserker helm now doing this dumb bar crawl to get my zimzam book
>>2527170they're not responding to my support request
>>2527880just make a new acc bro
>>2527880support jannies are lazy, very authentic to jagex support. takes them a few days to get anything done
>>2527118if your username was offensive that's why
>>2529698gay
>>2529698it wasn't, i gave up waiting and made a new account
now im bored again i cant wait for another 5 months just to do 8 hours worth of premeditated content haha
do you guys know about hamhouse here
https://xcancel.com/minaiinskyrs/status/2061201707804090430Would you like to explain, 04scapers?
>>2533637This is a twitter reaction website. Just post the image.
>>2533652I didn't want to post the image because it's gross
>>2533701
Neat auto scaling works now.
tell it to the judge
many many moons ago
I was going to mess around with it but this is asswhat the fuck
>>2539882ive been saying this. discord is a humiliation ritual. i quit that shit years ago. it's not even worth making a burner to play this shit.
they gave me a medal because i saved the mayor
dont be a coward, do it
