Ataraxia Rebrands to Kavros, Previously Operated by Jaedmo

Earlier this year, the RSPS community was left seeking answers after the RS3 private server Ataraxia abruptly disappeared overnight, taking its website and communication channels offline without prior notice.

That disappearance was first documented here:

The project has now resurfaced under a new name — Kavros — with clear continuity in ownership, staff, and infrastructure.

Clear Ownership Continuity

RSPS Toplist can confirm that Kavros is a direct continuation of the Ataraxia project previously operated by the individual known as jaedmo.

Multiple indicators establish this link:

• The same original development team remains in place

• Core Discord structure, permissions, and historical roles are intact

• The server codebase, feature roadmap, and content scope remain unchanged

• Communication style and operational control align with prior Ataraxia leadership

While the public-facing identity has changed, there is no evidence of a change in ownership or operational authority. The rebrand represents a name and platform transition, not a transfer of control.

From Jaedmo to “Kavros”

Following the shutdown of Ataraxia, ownership communications began appearing under the name Kavros, replacing the previously known alias jaedmo.

The new Discord, operating under kavros_ps, retained:

• Original staff members

• Developer access and permissions

• Community history and moderation structure

This continuity strongly indicates that Kavros is not a new operator, but rather jaedmo operating under a new identity, overseeing the same project.

Current Server Overview

Kavros currently promotes itself as a high-end RS3 private server with the following features:

Kavros – Christmas Event Village LIVE NOW
The Most Up-To-Date Server | iOS & Android | 944 | Gate of Elidinis | Two Perk Trees | Necromancy | Rasial & Hermod | Sanctum of Rebirth | 110 Mining & Smithing | Zamorak, Lord of Chaos | Kerapac | Tzkal-Zuk | Croesus | Arch-Glacor | Group Ironman

Seasonal content and continued updates suggest development remained active during the transition period.

Public Statements and Controlled Messaging

In a statement dated October 22, Kavros acknowledged the abrupt change and confirmed the creation of a new Discord, citing reasons that “could not yet be explained.”

Players were asked to wait for a scheduled AMA, where further details would be disclosed.

Key assurances included:

• Player accounts, items, and progress are safe

• Donations and voting systems remain operational

• Communication would increase following the transition

• Certain words were filtered in Discord to “protect the server moving forward”

“Please try not to jump to conclusions… this will only cause potential scare and uncertainty.”

Temporary Shutdown and “Pressure”

On October 29, Kavros announced a temporary shutdown of both the server and website.

The reason given was to alleviate unspecified “pressure” being applied to the project.

Further reassurances included:

• Personal data remains secure

• Donor status and in-game progress are preserved

• Refunds are available for recent store purchases

The owner described the situation as “overall a good thing”, again promising full clarification at a later date.

Analysis: Rebrand, Not a Restart

From an investigative standpoint, the evidence strongly supports the conclusion that:

• Ataraxia did not end — it rebranded

• Jaedmo did not exit — the identity changed

• Kavros represents operational continuity, not a new project

Such rebrands are not uncommon within the RSPS ecosystem, particularly during periods of increased external pressure or infrastructure risk.

No public legal filings have been disclosed, and no formal allegations have been made by the project itself.

What Comes Next

The promised AMA is expected to address:

• Why Ataraxia shut down without warning

• Why jaedmo is now operating under the Kavros identity

• What prompted the rebrand and temporary shutdown

• What protections are being implemented moving forward

Until then, the situation remains clear in one respect:

Kavros is Ataraxia — under new branding, but the same leadership.

RSPS Toplist will continue monitoring developments and publish updates as more information becomes available.
