📰 Project Zanaris Paused Indefinitely – The Irony of Jagex and the RSPS Scene In a surprising yet quietly handled update, Jagex has indefinitely paused development of its mysterious “Project Zanaris” — a project many speculated would be the company’s official entry into the RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) space. By viewing the source code of the official site, a telling <meta> tag reveals the current state of affairs: <meta name="description" content="Project Zanaris is paused indefinitely, but we're grateful for your support and interest. While there are no current plans, we’re keeping the door open to future possibilities. Thank you for being part of the journey."> ⚠️ A Dead End, For Now Jagex’s message is clear — Project Zanaris is on hold, with no active roadmap or development timeline. Despite initial buzz, secrecy, and speculation in the RSPS and OSRS communities, it seems the plug has quietly been pulled — or at the very least, the power's been cut temporarily. This update douses the hopes of those curious about whether Jagex would truly officially embrace RSPS-style mechanics, sandbox experimentation, or seasonal rogue-like servers akin to popular community Leagues or custom game modes. 🤔 The Ironic Twist: Jagex Owns r/RSPS Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: Jagex currently owns the RSPS subreddit. Yes, the very company that spent years issuing takedowns and cease-and-desist notices across the RSPS world now owns and moderates r/RSPS on Reddit — a community originally built by private server enthusiasts. Many saw Project Zanaris as the next logical step — an attempt to monetize and control a space Jagex had once shunned. But now, with the project shelved and r/RSPS in corporate hands, the situation feels more surreal than strategic. 🧠 Was It Ever Meant to Happen? Without official gameplay reveals, development updates, or even a basic announcement trailer, some are left wondering if Project Zanaris was ever intended to be a full-fledged product — or if it was a failed internal experiment caught between nostalgia and market confusion. Whatever the case, Project Zanaris is no longer a threat or competitor to the RSPS scene — for now. Stay tuned to rspstoplist.com for the latest RSPS news, updates, and server rankings. Whether it’s Jagex’s next move or a new server rising to the top, we’ll be the first to break it. Want to discuss this with other RSPS veterans?
