A Familiar Pattern: Another RSPS Rebrand, Another Reset? In the RuneScape private server scene, longevity matters. Stable branding, consistent development, and player trust are what separate long-term projects from short-lived experiments. Over the past three months, however, one recurring pattern has raised concerns among players and server trackers alike. Multiple Rebrands in a Short Timeframe Within roughly 90 days, the same development circle has been linked by the community to five or more server rebrands, including names such as: Vale RSPS Hyperion Emerald Fantasy RSPS Soulfire RSPS Each project launched with fresh branding, donation incentives, and early hype — followed by resets or quiet disappearances shortly after. While rebranding is not inherently wrong, frequent resets in short succession are widely viewed in the RSPS community as a red flag, particularly when prior progress, donations, or player time are lost. Identity Obfuscation and Community Concerns More recently, the project has shifted toward identity concealment, with development communication routed through a Discord account displayed as Zach, rather than a publicly accountable developer identity. Players have raised concerns that anonymity in this context may not be about privacy, but about avoiding accountability for past resets. While anonymity is common in development spaces, it becomes problematic when paired with repeated relaunches and monetisation. At best, this creates confusion. At worst, it erodes trust. Vote Data Shows a Clear Downward Trend Despite early momentum, public vote data suggests declining engagement rather than organic growth. Recorded Votes Feb 1: 200 votes (approx. 100 estimated real) Feb 2: 165 votes Feb 3: 148 votes Feb 4: 135 votes Feb 5: 123 votes Trend Analysis Total drop: −77 votes over 4 days Average daily loss: ≈19 votes per day Overall decline: 38.5% decrease from Feb 1 to Feb 5 This is not the pattern of a growing custom server. Healthy launches typically stabilise or climb after initial volatility — not decline steadily day after day. Questionable Promotion Tactics Adding to the controversy is the use of a separate AI-themed YouTube channel, allegedly used to present legitimacy through high view counts, comments, and engagement. 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqWyQBDkJ3q8nPBCfAw7MjQ Several indicators — repetitive comment structures, engagement spikes without subscriber growth, and non-correlating analytics — have led community members to question whether the activity reflects genuine interest. This is particularly notable as YouTube has recently begun cracking down on low-effort and artificially amplified AI channels, increasing the likelihood that such promotion methods may soon backfire. Final Thoughts To be clear: this server could still succeed. Custom projects can turn things around with transparency, consistent updates, and a clear no-reset policy. However, based on: repeated rebrands short project lifespans declining engagement metrics identity obfuscation and questionable promotional strategies the current trajectory closely resembles a familiar RSPS cash-grab cycle, rather than a long-term commitment. Players are not opposed to new servers — they are opposed to being reset, rebranded, and asked to donate again. Trust, once lost, is difficult to rebuild.

Exposing Enchanta: The Stolen Source and the Blackhat Developer Behind It The RuneScape private server (RSPS) scene has had its fair share of drama, but few stories compare to the chaos surrounding Enchanta and its lead developer—a blackhat figure notorious for deception and sabotage. This blog will cover how the stolen source from Torva ended up in Enchanta's hands, the shady past of those involved, and why players should steer clear of this disaster waiting to happen. The Origins of the Enchanta Scandal In early 2024, the RSPS Torva faced an internal betrayal. According to its owner, Cyber, one of the co-owners, "Luffy" (also known as Leviticus, Quasar, and using the Discord tag leviticusplays, all linked to the same individual), stole the source code and began working with Kevin, the owner of Galanor. Cyber shared his frustration in a Discord announcement: "Firstly, the last co-owner 'Luffy' Aka Leviticus decided to steal the source and rework it with Galanor Owner 'Kevin'. The shock of that and the fact that the new advertisements I paid for didn’t help grow Torva, really kicked me down from continuing to work." This blatant act of theft set the stage for what would later be known as Enchanta—a server built on a stolen foundation. Confirmed Evidence of Source Theft The community quickly gathered evidence proving that the Torva source had been taken and reused. Cyber and other members of the RSPS scene provided multiple screenshots confirming the theft: Proof of stolen source 1 Proof of stolen source 2 Proof of stolen source 3 Proof of stolen source 4 Confirmation that 'Quasar', 'Luffy', and 'Leviticus' are the same person With overwhelming evidence, it became clear that Enchanta’s entire existence was built upon stolen work. A Developer With a Dark Reputation The main developer behind Enchanta, Leviticus, is a well-known blackhat operator with a track record of screwing over those who hire him. This isn’t the first time he’s been caught stealing code or injecting malicious software into RSPS projects. In an alarming revelation, It’sPolo, another respected figure in the RSPS scene, warned the community: "If you have received a message from the Torva Discord bot advertising another server, do not trust it. They are using source code that was stolen by a developer that was hired to work on Torva. They are using a compromised version of the source code that will ultimately lead to sensitive data being stolen." This warning highlights a significant risk: Enchanta is not just unethical, it is dangerous. Enchanta’s Malware-Infested Source Code As if stealing the source wasn’t bad enough, further investigations revealed that the stolen source used in Enchanta had been modified to contain malware. The purpose? To steal user data and compromise anyone who downloads or plays on the server. "It seems that once again, Enchanta is attempting to release their server using the same stolen source code from Torva. This has been confirmed, and to make matters worse, the code they are using has been verified to contain a virus designed to steal data." — It’sPolo The implications of this are severe. If you join Enchanta, you are putting your account security, personal data, and possibly even your real-world financial information at risk. Leviticus' History of Theft and Leaks Leviticus has a history of stealing assets and reselling them for quick profit. Insider information has confirmed that he stole cannon models from another server, claiming they were unique to his project. Additionally, last year he worked for a high-tier RSPS called RoatPkz, where he was also involved in questionable activities. He is well known for leaking sources and selling stolen work to the highest bidder. Why You Should Avoid Enchanta It’s Built on Stolen Code – Enchanta is not an original project but a stolen, modified version of Torva. It’s Managed by Untrustworthy Developers – The individuals behind Enchanta have a history of theft, deception, and scamming. It’s a Security Risk – The server has been confirmed to contain malicious code that could compromise player data. It’s Bad for the RSPS Scene – Supporting servers that thrive on theft and blackhat tactics only encourages more of the same behavior. The Future of Torva and a Legitimate Alternative Despite this setback, Cyber has reassured the community that Torva will return under a new name, featuring a rebrand with fresh content and a stronger commitment to quality. Meanwhile, It’sPolo has announced the upcoming Asterisk server, which will provide a genuine, high-quality alternative free from stolen assets or shady dealings. Final Warning: Stay Away from Enchanta If you care about your security and the integrity of the RSPS scene, do not engage with Enchanta. It is a server built on lies, managed by a deceitful developer, and filled with malicious code. There are far better alternatives that do not put your data or trust at risk.
