  1. Jagex has recently intensified its efforts to shut down a broad array of Discord-based services that offer botting, gold selling, and account-related services. By flagging these services as fraudulent, Jagex has reported numerous accounts and their associated Discord servers for direct banning, as they allowed users to join, create tickets, and access prohibited services. This sweeping action impacts notable services like Peng GP, Eternal Accounts, Aloes, Skilled Services, Expos Services, Ross Services, Bot Supply, Slashservice, TriSmoke Boosting, MrPvM (MyPvM), OurPvM, Cozy, ArgenGaming Accounts, Machine, Onyx, Sedra, OSRS Services, Injure, petboost, Lava, Bakkar, Runeservices, Searchy, Cheapgp, QBD, EternalFarm, Grant, Gaboservices, Venezuela United Hit, VeryRare Services, Secnx Gold, MMOGoldHut, Gielinor Genie Services, Wildy Beast Services, rprogp, Pink CLAY, Samurai Gold, Inferno Tips and Tricks, Alex’s Name Shop, 41 N&M's Name Shop, RSAccountsFarm's Account Shop, Stamina RS, Mighty Force, 45 Chicks Services, Sire Emporium, Smite Services, and argengold. Background on Jagex's Enforcement Strategy Historically, Jagex has focused on taking down websites linked to RSPS and third-party trading, primarily through legal channels like UDRP complaints. However, as Discord has become a hub for these services, Jagex’s recent actions represent a shift towards reporting individual accounts and servers, leveraging Discord’s policies to curb activities that violate RuneScape’s Terms of Service. By targeting Discord servers that facilitate botting and real-world trading, Jagex is effectively dismantling the infrastructure supporting in-game economic manipulation, disrupting key players in the market. Could RSPS-Based Servers Be Jagex’s Next Target? With Jagex’s recent actions targeting Discord servers that facilitate RuneScape botting, gold selling, and account trading, the RSPS community is left wondering if RSPS-related Discord servers might be next on the list. These servers, often used to manage private servers, communicate with players, and foster community, could potentially be in breach of Discord’s terms, making them vulnerable to similar enforcement actions. Discord’s policies explicitly prohibit activities involving fraud, spam, and harmful or illegal content, as well as the use of the platform to facilitate activities that violate the terms of other games or services. Many RSPS servers provide channels and resources that might indirectly or directly encourage rule-breaking in RuneScape, such as botting guides, third-party client promotions, and trading channels. While RSPS-related servers don’t directly engage in fraud, they may still be on Jagex's radar due to their connections to third-party services that infringe on RuneScape’s Terms of Service. By reporting these servers as violating community guidelines, Jagex could theoretically pressure Discord to take down RSPS-related communities as well. Potential Future Target: RSPS Toplists? This aggressive enforcement has sparked a debate within the RSPS community: could Jagex’s campaign soon expand to include RSPS-related websites, specifically toplists? Toplists are critical to RSPS visibility, allowing private servers to attract players and grow their communities. If Jagex were to extend its crackdown to toplists, it would represent a significant shift, potentially impacting the very foundations of the RSPS ecosystem. For RSPS owners, toplist operators, and the broader community, these actions serve as a reminder of the growing challenges they may face. Could RSPS toplists indeed be the next target in Jagex’s push for control? As the scope of Jagex's enforcement continues to expand, staying informed and prepared could be key to navigating the path forward.
  2. There's been considerable excitement and concern in the RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) community with the recent unveiling of Project Zanaris. Server owners and developers are watching closely to understand what this new initiative means for the future of custom servers and the OSRS ecosystem. A recent update from Kris, a highly skilled developer, sheds light on the situation, clearing up misconceptions about what Project Zanaris truly entails. Should RSPS owners be worried about the future? Let’s explore Kris’s insights and the new developments from Jagex. Project Zanaris: What’s Really Happening? While the hype surrounding Project Zanaris has been significant, Kris outlines that its initial release, slated for 2025, will be far more simplistic than anticipated. The first version of these community servers will allow players to rent servers with pre-defined settings and configurations. However, according to Kris, the flexibility and freedom will be quite limited. Players will only be able to tweak certain variables, such as XP rates and boss spawn availability, through configuration files. There won’t be options for maps or quests at launch, and players won’t be able to create or modify core content, which remains a central draw for private servers. Additionally, Jagex confirmed that these servers will be hosted internally, with no option for self-hosting. This means RSPS owners, who currently benefit from independent hosting, won’t face any direct competition in terms of server control. Monetization also remains tightly regulated, with pay-to-win features being strictly prohibited, including unfair advantages through items or boosted XP rates. This further solidifies that RSPS communities still hold a unique edge in terms of monetization and custom content. Closed Beta and Open Beta Timeline For those curious about when Project Zanaris will start impacting the community, the closed beta is expected to roll out by the end of this year, with an open beta coming next year. However, even during the open beta, the features will remain limited to tweaking parameters, not providing the deeper customization that RSPS servers are known for. This means that for at least the next year, private servers will remain the go-to option for players seeking a fully customized RuneScape experience. Should RSPS Owners Be Worried? Based on Kris’s analysis and further confirmation from the community, RSPS owners don’t have much to fear. Kris describes Project Zanaris as a tiered system, with five possible levels of server access, ranging from basic configurations to full control of the RuneScape engine. But for now, only the first level has been confirmed. Here are the key takeaways: Stage 1 Offers Minimal Threat: The initial release allows for basic game adjustments—XP rates, disabling bosses, etc.—which pale in comparison to what RSPS communities currently offer. This level of control won’t lure players away from custom servers that provide rich, unique experiences. Future Stages Still Pose Little Threat: Even if Jagex decides to move ahead and expand to limited custom content, such as unique items or maps (Stage 2), it still wouldn’t offer the complexity or depth of what RSPS servers have built over the years. Advanced content creation, unique game modes, and custom designs—key draws of the RSPS scene—are unlikely to be mirrored by Project Zanaris anytime soon, if ever. Concurrent Gameplay between Main and Private Servers One of the pluses for RSPS to continue thriving is that the gameplay between the official OSRS servers and private servers will remain largely distinct and concurrent. Players can enjoy both experiences without having to choose, which means that RSPS will continue to attract those who want something different from the official game, whether that’s faster XP, unique items, or entirely custom content that official servers can’t offer. Long-Term Outlook for RSPS Kris suggests that RSPS owners shouldn’t be overly concerned about the long-term trajectory of Project Zanaris. Granting access to RuneScape’s codebase and data files is an incredibly complex task, one that Jagex is unlikely to undertake lightly. Kris estimates that the chance of reaching a point where RSPS-level customization is possible on Project Zanaris is slim. Even in the best-case scenario for Jagex, allowing full custom control could take many years and would involve substantial legal, technical, and operational hurdles. Should You Consider Turning Off Your Server? For those RSPS owners wondering if they should pause development or even shut down their servers, the answer remains the same: not anytime soon. Based on Kris’s breakdown, there is no immediate threat from Project Zanaris in its current form, and there's no need to make any drastic changes to your operations. Now is an ideal time to continue expanding your RSPS. With Project Zanaris still in its infancy and limited in scope, private servers will remain a dominant force in offering customized RuneScape experiences for the foreseeable future. In fact, doubling down on custom content and unique gameplay features that Jagex can’t replicate will help solidify your server’s position in the community. RSPS Still Safe from Project Zanaris While Project Zanaris has generated excitement and speculation, the facts presented by Kris and the broader community show that it poses little immediate threat to the RSPS ecosystem. The first stage, releasing in 2025, will allow only basic configurations, and the chances of Jagex introducing higher levels of customization seem remote. For now, RSPS owners can continue to thrive by focusing on what they do best—offering unique, custom content that Jagex’s servers can’t match. There’s no need to turn off your servers or make radical changes based on this announcement. Instead, take this time to refine your offerings and continue to give players the rich, creative experiences they love. The RSPS community remains a vital part of the RuneScape ecosystem, and Project Zanaris, as it stands, won’t change that anytime soon.
  3. The Birth of Midgard In the RSPS community, Divine and Nucky, the well-known creators behind Lunite, decided to announce a new project on September 17, 2022: Midgard. The announcement was made to Lunite's loyal community with promises that Lunite would remain their "number one focus," and there would be no in-game currency crossover between Lunite and Midgard. Instead, both servers would remain separate entities, run simultaneously by the same owners. The announcement was cautiously optimistic. The creators promised that Lunite's future was secure, despite embarking on a new venture. But this wasn’t just any new server; Nucky’s IRL friend/relative Scape was soon revealed to be joining the ownership team. Divine — 09/17/2022 9:19 AM “As stated, our love and effort in Lunite will not and has not shifted... It will not be directly tied to Lunite with in-game currency or anything like that, they will remain 2 separate servers we will just be running both.” The truth? This was the beginning of Lunite’s downfall. The Midgard Launch: An RSPS Disaster in the Making Fast forward to January 18, 2024, Nucky excitedly announced that Midgard was officially launching on February 17th. What should have been a joyous occasion quickly turned into a disaster. Nucky — 01/18/2024 1:53 AM “Today we are extremely excited to announce the official release date of Midgard! We will be releasing on February 17th... We will also be opening Staff Applications soon! Thank you all for the continued patience and love we've received!” This massive push brought over many loyal Lunite players to Midgard, with promises of a fresh start and unique content. However, behind the scenes, things were unraveling quickly. Voting Stats: The Numbers Don’t Lie RSPS players are familiar with the importance of voting, and the decline of both servers’ vote counts tells a story of failure and player abandonment. Midgard Vote Stats (Launch to September 2024) February (Launch): 5,563 votes March: 9,066 votes (+62.97%) April: 2,024 votes (-63.61%) May: 2,711 votes (-51.27%) June: 3,149 votes (-43.39%) July: 2,827 votes (-49.16%) August: 2,291 votes (-58.82%) September: 1,729 votes (-68.91%) As seen from the stats above, Midgard saw a massive spike in votes during March but immediately crashed by 63.61% the following month, with a continuous drop leading to September where it experienced a 68.91% drop from the launch. Lunite Vote Stats (Decline of a Top Server) February: 8,418 votes March: 9,066 votes April: 4,716 votes (-47.96%) May: 4,819 votes (-42.75%) June: 4,400 votes (-47.72%) July: 4,819 votes (-42.75%) August: 5,407 votes (-35.77%) September: 5,837 votes (-30.68%) Lunite, once ranked among the top 6 servers, took an absolute beating during Midgard’s release, with its vote count dropping by nearly 48% by April and struggling to climb back up. It eventually fell to the 12th-15th rank, barely hanging on. Abandonment and a Cash Grab Not long after Midgard’s launch, Divine and Nucky began distancing themselves from the project, leaving Scape to run the show. On October 16, 2024, Divine made it clear that they had stepped away from Midgard, handing full control to Scape. Divine — Yesterday at 11:31 AM “Hey guys, as you may have seen Nucky and myself have taken a step back from Midgard. Scape has been the main guy running the show for a while and he wants to take it in his own direction. We continue to praise him for his work and hope to see Midgard prosper even more!” Nucky’s silent exit from the Discord speaks volumes about his interest in the project. He had previously attempted to close the server on April 18, 2024, citing poor communication and real-life obligations as excuses for putting Midgard offline temporarily. Nucky promised a return by June 1st, 2024, but this was just another example of empty words with no results. Nucky — 04/18/2024 7:11 AM “Due to the overwhelming response of keeping Midgard online with the understanding that the next update planned will be June 1st... We will admit that we may have made a decision without communicating it properly.” Midgard never recovered. The server’s votes declined, updates became sporadic, and player engagement dwindled. What started as a promising project turned into a classic RSPS cash grab, with players' donations being funneled into a failing project. Scape’s Leadership: Laziness Personified When it comes to evaluating leadership in an RSPS, activity and consistency are critical measures of engagement. Let’s review Scape’s activity within Midgard’s Discord channel from July 2024 to October 2024. Despite being the sole remaining owner, his leadership is defined by inconsistent posts, delayed responses, and bare-minimum event management. How Active is Scape? Let’s break down some key moments of activity and analyze how often Scape actually engages with his community. October 17-18, 2024: Multiple scattered posts across a 24-hour period: Client issues: Problems with the client build were reported multiple times on the same day, but without any proper resolution. Halloween Event: Scape posted about launching the same Halloween event with minimal effort—recycling content from previous events like the July event. This repetitive, low-effort approach is a hallmark of his disengaged leadership. Despite these posts, there was no new meaningful content, and the focus remained on temporary events like Trick or Treat rather than substantial updates. September 2024: Few posts, mostly concerning cash-grab donation incentives: For every $50 donated, players would receive bonus items like Death Touch Darts or Summer Boxes. Activity here is clearly centered around generating donations rather than improving the gameplay experience or addressing community feedback. No significant updates were announced apart from client issues, highlighting how little actual development work is being done. August 2024: Low activity with minor content updates: New bosses and donator ranks were introduced, but again, the emphasis was on increasing the perks for high-tier donators, showing that donations remained a priority. No regular development updates: Most development seems to be done at the last minute with little to no engagement from Scape between updates, leaving the community in the dark about the server’s direction. July 2024: Focus on minor updates and quality-of-life changes: Buffs for donator boxes and small improvements were rolled out, but there was very little interaction with the community in terms of meaningful feedback or discussion. Posts revolved primarily around developing new perks for donations, indicating once again that monetization was a higher priority than server improvement. A Disconnected Leader Scape’s interaction with the community is sporadic and primarily tied to donation incentives or event announcements. For a server marketed as "the most anticipated RSPS in 2024," one would expect a more involved and responsive leader. However, Scape only appears when there is a need to push donations or manage short-term events like Halloween trick-or-treating. The reality is that these short bursts of activity are woefully insufficient for a server that’s clearly struggling. Even his DevBlogs are delayed, and Scape has openly admitted that he hasn’t posted one in a while due to his "hectic schedule." This further demonstrates his lack of commitment to actively engaging with the community or guiding the server towards success. Scape’s Posts: Frequency Breakdown October 2024 Activity October 18: 1 post October 17: 6 posts October 16: 4 posts October 15: 1 post October 11: 2 posts August-September 2024 Activity August 16-19: 4 posts September 17-24: 4 posts (mainly regarding donations and client fixes) Weekly Engagement Breakdown On average, Scape is posting 4-6 times per week, with most of these posts clustered around event announcements or donation incentives. Outside of this, there are days of complete silence, during which the community is left without any updates or engagement. Lack of Meaningful Updates Although Scape claims to be working on updates, his posts reveal that he is recycling the same content. For example, his October 16, 2024 post about the Halloween event was nothing more than a rehash of the July event with minor tweaks: Scape — 10/16/2024 4:30 AM "NEW UPDATE!! Trick or treating is live... Same content as the July event with minor tweaks." This repetition demonstrates a clear lack of creativity and innovation. Players who have supported the server since its inception expect more than just recycled events. Unfortunately, Scape's leadership seems to be marked by a pattern of reused content and delayed features, with promises of significant updates being pushed back repeatedly. Even the features and content that are promised in devblogs often arrive late or not at all. For instance, updates such as the Slayer rework and new boss mechanics have been teased for months, but the community has yet to see anything truly game-changing. This lack of fresh, engaging content is unacceptable for an RSPS that was once marketed as the most anticipated server of 2024. Players are growing increasingly frustrated as they feel misled by promises of updates that never fully materialize. Conclusion: A Lazy, Disengaged Leader Scape’s leadership has been characterized by inconsistency, disengagement, and a clear focus on monetizing the player base rather than improving the player experience. His activity level, though somewhat frequent, is uninspired and directionless. Most of his engagements are tied to either cash-grab events or repetitive seasonal updates, with very little meaningful development work happening behind the scenes. While it’s understandable that every server may experience periods of downtime or slow updates, Midgard is being held back by a leader who lacks the passion or commitment to push the server forward. The failure to introduce new, original content, combined with the recycling of events like Halloween Trick or Treat, has left the community feeling disillusioned. With voting stats in freefall and key features continually delayed, Midgard has become a cautionary tale for RSPS players. It serves as a stark warning to anyone considering supporting a server where leadership is absent and the primary focus seems to be on driving donations rather than delivering the experience players deserve. Takeaway for RSPS Players: If you’re looking for a server with active and passionate leadership, avoid Midgard and look for alternatives that are transparent about their development progress. Don't be lured by promises of new content that never comes or by temporary donation incentives designed to milk the player base. Instead, explore servers on rspstoplist.com where player reviews and genuine rankings ensure you're joining a server that's truly committed to its community.
  4. The RSPS community was recently shaken by the news that Runelist, a well-known RSPS platform, has been sold for a whopping $30,000. However, the mystery surrounding the new buyer has left many of us questioning the future of this platform. With the original project leader leaving, there are serious concerns about whether the new owner can live up to the promises that have been made to the community. Inactivity and Broken Promises One of the main concerns surrounding Runelist.io is the glaring inactivity. Not only has the much-touted 'protected launcher' – which was promised to enhance security for RSPS servers – remained incomplete, but the blog has also seen no new posts for an extended period. This raises questions about how committed the new owner is to delivering on the promises made by the previous leadership. Without clear communication or transparency, how can we, as RSPS players and server owners, place our trust in this platform moving forward?

    What is a RSPS?

    RuneScape Private Servers (RSPS) have become a dynamic part of the gaming landscape in 2024, offering fans of the classic MMORPG a personalized, sometimes radically different experience compared to the official game. RSPSs are independently created servers that replicate or customize RuneScape’s core gameplay, often providing unique content, customizations, or easier progression for players. In recent years, RSPSs have diversified into several types, each catering to distinct player preferences. Whether you’re new to the RSPS scene or a veteran, understanding the server types and navigating the landscape safely can enrich your gaming experience. Three Main Types of RSPS in 2024 1. Vanilla OSRS Servers Vanilla OSRS servers are designed for players who crave the authentic Old School RuneScape experience, closely mirroring Jagex's OSRS gameplay and progression. These servers replicate the official game’s slow, steady leveling, community-based economy, and challenging PvM (Player vs. Monster) content. Ideal for players who enjoy the nostalgia and gradual progression of classic RuneScape, Vanilla OSRS servers often adhere closely to updates from the official game, ensuring an experience faithful to OSRS. 2. SpawnPK Servers SpawnPK servers are the go-to for PvP enthusiasts who want instant access to high-stakes action without the time-consuming grind. In these servers, players can spawn most items instantly, allowing for quick access to powerful weapons and armor ideal for Player vs. Player combat. SpawnPK is all about high-intensity PvP, perfect for players who enjoy risk-filled, competitive gameplay in dangerous PvP zones without spending hours collecting resources. This server type skips the slow-building experience of Vanilla OSRS in favor of instant thrill and competition. 3. Custom Servers For those looking for a completely new take on RuneScape, custom RSPS servers offer a unique twist. These servers introduce new bosses, items, skills, and game mechanics that break away from the traditional RuneScape setup. With exclusive dungeons, original spells, and themed expansions, custom servers let developers unleash their creativity, giving players an experience unlike any other. These servers are great for those wanting to explore new content and try innovative game features while staying rooted in the familiar RuneScape universe. Staying Safe on RSPS in 2024 The RSPS scene has improved its security standards, but staying safe is still essential. Before you dive into a server, it’s wise to verify its reputation by checking for an active website, an engaged community on Discord or forums, and transparent updates from developers. Reputable RSPS directories like rspstoplist help you find trustworthy servers that align with your gaming style, whether you’re looking for Vanilla OSRS, high-energy SpawnPK, or custom content. Choosing the Right RSPS for You In 2024, RSPSs offer something for everyone. Vanilla OSRS servers provide an authentic, classic RuneScape experience; SpawnPK servers focus on fast PvP action; and custom servers break the mold with innovative content. When selecting an RSPS, look for servers with a good reputation and strong community backing, as these are often the most stable and secure. Choosing the right server, and navigating the scene safely, ensures that you can dive into the RSPS world with confidence.
  6. When running an RSPS (RuneScape Private Server), protecting your server from attacks is crucial. CosmicGuard offers a gaming-focused solution that keeps your server safe and secure while maintaining optimal performance for your players. How CosmicGuard Protects Your RSPS: Hide Your Server's Real IP Instead of directly exposing your RSPS to the internet, CosmicGuard routes all player traffic through its mesh network. This hides your actual server IP, making it impossible for attackers to target it directly. Traffic Filtering CosmicGuard analyzes every connection to your server. It blocks malicious traffic, such as DDoS attacks and botting attempts, before it reaches your RSPS. Only clean, legitimate connections are allowed through. Optimized for Gaming Unlike standard VPNs, CosmicGuard is optimized specifically for gaming servers. It minimizes lag and ensures fast, uninterrupted connections for your players, keeping gameplay smooth while maintaining high security. Real-Time Monitoring Stay in control with real-time monitoring of your server's traffic and security status. If any suspicious activity is detected, you’ll receive immediate alerts, allowing you to respond quickly. Conclusion This method is highly effective against top-tier DDoS attackers, ensuring your RSPS game server experiences minimal downtime during direct server attacks. I recommend discussing this with your developer and setting it up immediately. Even with premium hosting services like OVH, your server remains vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. In fact, if I used lower-tier hosting with CosmicGuard, my server would be better protected than your OVH-protected server. So, what are you waiting for?

  8. On September 12th, Royal RSPS launched, rebranding what was once Destiny RSPS. While rebrands often signal new beginnings, Royal RSPS appears to be anything but. With unfinished website pages, lazy graphics, and an overemphasis on its store page, it feels like this is just another quick money grab. For those familiar with the server’s owner, Johnny, this should come as no surprise. Unfinished Website, Lazy Graphics, and One Completed Page — The Store Let’s face it: a professional, polished website is critical for any online community, especially one that thrives on player engagement like a RuneScape private server. Unfortunately, Royal RSPS falls flat. Many parts of the website are incomplete, showcasing a lack of attention to detail. The design elements are generic and rushed, and the user experience is far from what you’d expect from a server trying to position itself as “new and improved.” The only section that appears to have received real focus? The store page. This alone speaks volumes. When the store is the most polished aspect of the site, it’s clear where the priorities lie — and it’s not on gameplay improvements or community engagement. Johnny’s Reputation: Another Server, Another Cash Grab This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this play out. Johnny, the notorious owner behind Royal RSPS, has a history of opening multiple servers under the guise of a “network.” Time and again, these servers follow a familiar pattern: launch with a lot of hype, collect player donations, and then slowly fade away with minimal updates or support. Royal RSPS seems to be following the same script. The rebrand from Destiny RSPS feels like a thinly veiled attempt to milk the player base once again, offering little in the way of real improvements. It’s hard to ignore that every time Johnny opens a new server, the same cycle repeats: hype, donations, neglect. Players Should Wait Before Investing If you’re thinking about jumping into Royal RSPS and opening your wallet, take a step back. With the server’s rocky history and the clear emphasis on monetization over substance, it’s worth waiting at least 3 months before even considering any financial investment. Don’t fall into the trap of getting excited by a few shiny new updates or flashy marketing campaigns. Take the time to see if this server actually follows through with meaningful updates or if it fizzles out once the initial donation surge is over. History suggests the latter. Is Royal RSPS a Worthwhile Investment of Your Time and Money? At this stage, it’s hard to say anything positive about the direction Royal RSPS is heading. The unfinished website, minimal updates beyond the store, and the notorious past of the server’s owner paint a bleak picture for both new and returning players. If you’re a seasoned RSPS player, you’ve likely seen this kind of cash grab before. The rebrand feels like a way to bring in new donations, rather than a genuine attempt to improve gameplay. Key Dates in the Rebranding Process August 13th: Destiny RSPS entered “Private Mode,” preventing new accounts from being created while the rebrand was being prepared. August 30th: Destiny went offline in preparation for the Royal RSPS launch. September 12th: Royal RSPS officially launched, but what’s really new aside from a few surface-level changes? Final Thoughts: Buyer Beware Royal RSPS is positioning itself as the next big thing, but the reality is much different. Johnny’s track record speaks for itself, and Royal RSPS looks like another server set to follow the same predictable pattern. With unfinished content, lazy graphics, and a clear focus on driving store sales, the rebrand feels more like a way to squeeze more money from players rather than offering a genuinely improved gaming experience. If you’re thinking of supporting this server, give it time. Watch how the community evolves and if the developers actually deliver on their promises. Until then, don’t invest your money into Royal RSPS. You might just find yourself left with an empty server and a lighter wallet.
  9. In an unexpected turn of events, Jacmob, the renowned owner of Near-Reality (NR), has decided to cancel all YouTuber contracts and temporarily shift focus away from the once-dominant RSPS. According to an inside source, Jacmob commented, "We're shifting our focus from NR for now, but new servers are going to be massive!" It seems the spotlight is turning toward their highly anticipated new project, RuneSpawn. Even one of Near-Reality’s main listed owners, Stan, has been pulled into the new venture. As Jacmob revealed in a recent message, "Stan is working on RuneSpawn with me; he doesn't have an interest in NR." With two of the biggest names in the RSPS scene turning their attention to RuneSpawn, the future for this upcoming server seems brighter than ever. In addition to the major shift in focus toward RuneSpawn, recent developments suggest that all is not well within the Near-Reality (NR) project. A respected member from within the Near-Reality community has leaked concerning information, warning investors and players alike. According to this insider, the Near-Reality team is allegedly continuing to issue false disconnects and make false promises, all in an attempt to minimize chargebacks. The message is clear: "If I were you, I would stop investing in this project." The concerns don’t end there. It has been confirmed that Near-Reality recently suffered a massive security breach. Their source code has been leaked, and it is now publicly available on RuneSuite, a prominent site for RuneScape-related leaks and modding tools. You can review the leaked source here. This latest blow only adds to the growing list of concerns around Near-Reality’s future, casting doubts on the integrity and security of the project. If you're considering an investment in NR, it may be time to rethink your strategy. Stay tuned for more updates as we delve deeper into what RuneSpawn has in store and how this major shift will impact the Near-Reality community! Update 9/15/2024 Jacmob Addresses the Community Amid these concerns, Jacmob recently addressed the Near-Reality community directly regarding the ongoing server issues. In a public message, he stated: "Hello we are aware of the issues with the login server & disconnects. We have a solve hopefully by the end of the weekend. Thanks everyone!" (Jacmob, 3:57 AM). Despite his assurances, many in the community are skeptical. As one insider pointed out, "Even though it only takes 1-3 hours to get a NEW secure dedicated host, our fears are coming true—they could be intentionally keeping the disconnects." What’s Next for RuneSpawn and Near-Reality? As Jacmob and Stan turn their attention to RuneSpawn, Near-Reality’s future hangs in the balance. The shift in focus, combined with security issues and community unrest, leaves investors and players questioning whether NR will ever return to its former glory. Meanwhile, RuneSpawn’s launch is highly anticipated, and many are eager to see what new features and experiences it will bring to the RSPS community. Stay tuned for more updates as we delve deeper into what RuneSpawn has in store and how this major shift will impact the Near-Reality community!
  10. RuneWild, a highly popular RSPS, boasts over 1,000 active players monthly, which is quite impressive given its relatively modest update schedule—only 4 to 6 updates annually. Major releases like Update #47 bring exciting content such as the Moons of Peril boss and new mobile accessibility. However, for a server of its size, players might expect more frequent updates. Despite this, RuneWild's vibrant community and engaging gameplay keep the player base thriving. We rate RuneWild a solid 9/10 for its remarkable player count and high-quality features, even with its slower update cadence. For more info, check out their announcements here
  11. Hiring developers for your RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) can be daunting, especially when dealing with sensitive game data and source code. Unauthorized data access, accidental server misconfigurations, and potential data breaches are constant concerns. However, using a Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) environment, paired with the right security configurations, RSPS owners can hire developers without these worries. In this article, we’ll explore how setting up a locked-down RDP environment can allow you to hire anyone you please while ensuring your server remains safe. We’ll also dive into how advanced Group Policy Editor settings can be used to secure the environment even further. Securing RDP Access: Why It Matters for RSPS Owners When hiring a developer for your RSPS, giving them access to your code is necessary, but so is controlling what they can do on your server. With an RDP setup, you can provide developers with a virtual workspace where they can perform coding tasks, but without compromising security. This method keeps the core infrastructure of your RSPS protected. Here are some of the key benefits: No File Transfers: Developers can work on your RSPS code, but they can't copy files from the RDP server to their local machine. Minimal Permissions: By stripping away unnecessary administrative access, you can ensure that hired developers can’t make unauthorized changes to your server. Safe Environment: With internet restrictions and app whitelisting, you can ensure that developers can’t download unauthorized software or browse potentially malicious websites. Now, let’s go over the steps to build such a secure environment. Group Policy Editor: The Powerhouse for Locking Down RDP The Group Policy Editor in Windows allows you to configure advanced settings for managing access to various system components. Here are a few Group Policy settings that can help further secure your RDP environment: 1. Disable Clipboard Redirection Prevent developers from copying data from the RDP server to their local machines using clipboard redirection. Steps: Open Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the Run dialog. Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection Locate and Enable the policy "Do not allow clipboard redirection." This setting will block all clipboard interactions, ensuring that developers cannot copy and paste sensitive data. 2. Disable Drive Redirection Drive redirection allows users to access their local drives from within the RDP session. Disabling this will prevent developers from moving files from the server to their own machines. Steps: In the same Group Policy path as above, find "Do not allow drive redirection" and set it to Enabled. This stops any attempts to transfer files between the server and local machines. 3. Restrict Network Access via Firewall Restricting internet access is vital for ensuring that developers can only work on coding tasks and not access websites or download unauthorized software. Use Windows Firewall to block all outbound traffic, except for certain apps: Open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security. Create an Outbound Rule that blocks all connections except for trusted coding programs like Visual Studio Code or specific IPs. For example, you could allow access only to your GitHub repository or necessary version control system. 4. Remove Administrative Access Granting limited privileges is key to ensuring that your hired developers can only access the files and settings they need. In Local Users and Groups, make sure developers are part of the Users group, not the Administrators group. Regularly review these settings to ensure no unnecessary permissions have been granted over time. Additional Suggestions for Extra Security 1. Enable Network Level Authentication (NLA) Network Level Authentication forces users to authenticate before establishing an RDP connection. This ensures that only authorized users can access the server. Open Group Policy Editor and navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Security Enable Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication. The Perfect Setup for RSPS Owners As an RSPS owner, ensuring the safety of your server when hiring developers is paramount. By configuring the Group Policy settings mentioned above, you can lock down your RDP environment, giving developers only the permissions they need to do their job—nothing more. Additionally, by blocking file transfers, limiting internet access, and removing admin rights, you ensure your RSPS remains secure. With added measures like NLA and 2FA, you’ll have a highly secure environment that allows you to hire developers with peace of mind, no matter where they are located. Stay tuned to our blog for more tips on managing your RSPS and improving server security.

Some of these quests are repeatable for loot farming and will also unlock titles. Main Content Neox currently features all skills, aside from construction which we’ll be looking to introduce post release. We also have the vast majority of minigames and side content available, such as Fight Caves, Barrows, Warrior’s Guild, Blast Furnace, Agility Pyramid, Pyramid Plunder, Wintertodt, etc; most of them are available to be easily accessed within the teleport interface. Endgame Content Currently, our only available raid is Chambers of Xeric, however we’re fully intending to add others after release. Neox currently has a fully functioning Inferno, Godwars (including Nex), all Wilderness Bosses, Nightmare, Cerberus, Alchemical Hydra, Abyssal Sire, Zulrah, and Vorkath, alongside traditional Wilderness bosses. Unique Interfaces We’ve been working on and implementing unique interfaces for just about every interaction within the game; this includes tasks, shops, donations, voting, teleports, challenges, title management, pet management, mystery boxes, etc. We will be continuing to overhaul interfaces post launch. Runelite Integration Neox currently uses Runelite as the main client and has fully integrated several of Runelite’s features, such as live highscore loading, and the drop table tracker. We’ve also implemented a unique plugin that allows for players to track their progression through the various tasks and achievements features throughout the game. Challenges Through designated windows of time (such as daily, weekly, and monthly), players will be prompted with numerous challenges to complete that come with a variety of rewards, such as bonus experience or mystery boxes. Resource Bag Neox features a unique internal mechanic that allows for players to make use of our Resource Bag, an item that acts as a storage deposit for skilling items to improve the overall quality of life for skilling across the board. This item comes with a fixed *weight* allowance, and having weighted each considered skilling item, will allow a certain threshold to be deposited. This item’s weight allowance can be upgraded by completing different achievements throughout the game. And So Much More!

  24. Dodian.net takes Dodian to a whole new level of nostalgia, by providing consistent updates that keep the Dodian feel, while still giving it enough content to compete with other servers. Previous Dodian remakes (including this one up until recent) would emulate Dodian and not provide many more updates afterwards leaving the server to die off slowly. With this particular emulation, Dodian already has any remake, as well as unique ideas in the making such as quests, a new skill, a lotto system and a whole new combat system. We are driven by our community, and always try and listen to, and let the community voice their opinions about updates. We come from a tight-knit community and our goal is to make everyone feel welcomed. So, if you feel like reliving nostalgia, or embracing the RSPS life back in 2007, come give us a try! Media Over the past few years there have been quite a few Dodian remakes, even using this particular Domain. I'll leave some of the original media in a spoiler below, but what I really want to focus on is some of the things we have added that are new. I will be consistently updating this thread, as currently the server is getting updated daily.
