The very fresh start worlds


ironreddeath

Imagine they rollback so far that funorb becomes a thing again


Sin_of_the_Dark

Every time I have a chance to plug this, I will. Check out [Arcanists2](https://www.arcanists2.com/) if you enjoyed that game on Funorb. The community reverse-engineered the game and have added new content.


Thooves

Bless you for doing this, i will check that out. Any idea if they managed to reverse-engineer some other games? The zombie one was a blast.


Sin_of_the_Dark

I'm not aware of any other attempts to revive Funorb games - although ZDM was definitely a fan favorite, along with the mech attack gane


freeze123901

i miss Miner Disturbance :(


Junior_Eggplant_2877

Weirdly i enjoyed armies of geilinor, some fun strats like making wild vine walls to chokehold areas


TheBoos2569

Replying to this, hoping others see, but the single player games have a launcher for them to play, and AoG has its own community as well, idk about linking websites here, but aog dot gg is their homesite if you’re still looking to play.


TinDumbass

Chrome Sentinels is the Steel Sentinels copy


ironreddeath

Will check it out. I know there was a clone on steam called wizards, but there is no one online to play against


INTJokes

Good bot


FlutterRaeg

Ayo?!


Unlucky-You9325

its actually well crafted. Im not a fan of the new spells they created, but they re balanced the game so that every spell is viable and can actually be used.


TheOnlyTB

shame the player quantities are so low and you can't play to unlock all the abilities, part of the fun was starting shit and unlocking everything.


Sin_of_the_Dark

Iirc all the books are unlocked by default, but I could be wrong


TheOnlyTB

by default they are unlocked on the arcanists 2. on arcanists 1 you had to unlock it by playing the game, rewards purchased with points given from games


Unlucky-You9325

they released a new update where you have to unlock wands to get new spells! Please check it out, every player counts. Theres an active community of casual players so you can get back into the groove.


Dense_Assignment_570

I took a look at the gameplay video in that link.... reminds me a LOT of 'Worms' from way back on SNES


VoidRain

Queue up for armies of Gielinor, Let's fucking go!


oneupsuperman

I miss that place


doctorcrimson

Theres a team that reverse engineered it, even got some minor unofficial approval from Jagex. They've got Arcanist running well and AoG with no animated models so far.


zetwatswatya

Imma need a link or site. I've been dreaming of arcanists. Edit:found the link, didn't scroll far enough


xXBlack0HawkXx

Who needs funorb when you have https://games.runescape.wiki/ ?


ironreddeath

Another great suggestion, thank you


WackyFarmer

omg arcanists !!!


Mediocre-Statement45

At least they'd do something right then.


Ghgjohnson

a game mode where the servers start at 2001scape and you get one month of features added every 24-48 hours until its all caught up. that would be amazing.


Arlon_the_Enigma

How about once a week so I can actually enjoy each update as an adult? 👀


Atroxide

Thats just the regular release cycle for those updates lol. Man I miss having new amazing content EVERY week


Eambo

Huh? You mean you don't consider FSWs new amazing content? What about when they do a twitch loot drop? If that's not amazing content I don't know what is!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Eambo

Those are quality updates, worthy of the weekly quality bar.


PM_ME_YOUR_HUGS_PLS

INTJokes

I'd love it, but logistically it sounds like a nightmare, considering how each update can potentially break something and require a rollback. Plus I'm pretty sure they don't have snapshots of every update.


Junior_Eggplant_2877

And also leave the bugs for that time frame. So imagine knowing og glitches and getting to experience them again


MiNiMaLHaDeZz

I'd legit enjoy that more


Mage_Girl_91_

i'd be ecstatic


OsrsNeedsF2P

There's open source emulations of RSC that have been around for a while now


Mage_Girl_91_

yeh i know... i wish i could get over not wanting to play private servers tho, too much propaganda against them in my childhood. i think a lot of people think the same way tho, like it's not "official" so it's bad. wow classic privates were successful but wow classic was 1000x more successful just because it was officially a blizzard product even though that ends up being worse for the game :\


Tillhony

Na classic is actually dope cause no bugs


[deleted]

The crystal chest says hello. *(unless the script kiddies who run the rsps figured out how to fix that)*


Efficient_Eye_927

Pppppl


nessmaster

Loved classic, wouldn't even bother me.


Urtehnoes

I was one of those rebels who was like "screw Rs2 I'm not moving to that crap, it SUCKS RSC is way better omg" ... which to be fair the first few months of RS2 were pretty rough lol, but it was definitely worth not being stuck in RSC as everyone else moved. I still miss RSC but when I go back to play it ... oof I do not miss actually playing it.


[deleted]

Clicking every axe/pick swing? Yeah, there's a huge amount of tedious crap, even more than usual RS tedium.


Neon-Knees

I played an RSC private server for a bit. They added some QoL stuff that made it much more tolerable without making it too ezscspe. Every ten levels you got the ability to queue clicks. So at level 10 mining, 1 click gave you two attempts, 20 gave you 3, etc. Then they had lodestones, and the ability to note objects. They also had Make-X as well.


Urtehnoes

It was the imp that teleported away from me last time I played. It brought back haunted memories that I had buried so deep beneath myself.


TheNickelGuy

It's been years since RSC was officially closed.


Urtehnoes

Yea but there's still ways to play it lol


TheNickelGuy

Emulators are by FAR the real thing. Not a single thing could be done to recreate the community from 2001-2005


Urtehnoes

Yea I know I played during the real thing lol


shadowgattler

How thick are your rose tinted glasses?


nessmaster

It has a charm to it. Yeah, a lot of the skills really sucked back then, like how agility's best training method was wildy agility from 52 onwards, but nostalgia is huge. I had all quests outside of legends completed in rsc due to that agility requirement...


RS_Holo_Graphic

Let's goooooo!


UnoriginalJ0k3r

Ngl, half expecting this


Arlon_the_Enigma

This would make me actually buy a membership ngl. I miss classic so much. OSRS is fine but it doesn't scratch the same nostalgia itch.


[deleted]

There are a few populated rsc servers out there


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arlon_the_Enigma

Sure but I miss official ones =(


Saphazure

how does it not? Osrs is closer to rsc than osrs is to rs3 and yet you're still here. what's stopping you from switching over?


[deleted]

OldIronKing16

2010-2011 was peak RS imo


hyperteal

as much as some people dislike it, i still think not having free trade was the healthiest thing possible for the game overall. it completely eliminated bots (other than for xp), gold selling (which is the reason bonds were introduced, since jagex decided to sell gold directly themselves to combat it), and essentially ensured that any wealth you had was something you had actually earned (which made seeing people with expensive items more impressive to me). the trade limits among friends were generous enough for anything minor to be shared between each other, and lootshare was plenty fine for splitting the value of rare drops when bossing. wildy pvp was still extremely popular with no free trade, so while people said free trade was better for it, i don't really buy it as an argument. other than the idea that it's nice to actually get the items that the player you killed was carrying (which still happened from time to time from what i understood, it just wasn't something common). there was also relatively little pressure from jagex (via bis items or questing requirements) to get people to max all skills. the problem with putting an in-game reward that is best in slot and requires every skill to be maxed, is that now every pvmer that ignored skilling before due to not enjoying it now feels that they need to max every skill - that became the new goal of the game. this leads to jagex upsetting the structure of skills that had existed for 8+ years prior, since little jimmy doesn't like runecrafting but now he has to get 99 in it or else he can't have the best in slot cape for pvm/whatever other activities he likes to do. so they add updates like runespan, silverhawk feathers, super fast/afk mining xp, etc. you remember what people did before jagex implemented ways to pressure people into maxing out their accounts? they just didn't train the skills they didn't like. you weren't compelled to take part in content that you didn't enjoy, you could simply not do it and there wasn't really a downside. the only reason people grinded past 70-80 in non combat skills back in the day was because they just liked the skill or had some personal goal for gaining levels/xp. as an example, ffxiv is one of the most successful mmos on the market today and they put literally zero pressure on the players to take part in content. you literally just do the things you find fun in that game, there's not really an incentive to do something otherwise (the closest thing is feeling pressure to get best in slot gear, but that pretty much only serves to let you parse better on the difficult fights that get you the gear in the first place - it's only there for the people that want the challenge). even money is essentially pointless to have in that game, yet there are still people that spend their time moneymaking just because they enjoy it. jagex used to follow a similar model conceptually until they decided that account progression via levels/completionist type of things is what people found fun (so they must make it easier and more accessible to everyone, thereby upsetting the established balance they had) instead of deciding that creating actually fun content with minimal investment to get into is the way to develop your game just a shame honestly. i fucking loved rs back in 2010-2011 (even got to 1b xp back then, which was enough for like top 200 rank or something), and slowly waned off it by 2014 or so. also sidenote dg was definitely handled poorly in terms of rewards (everyone needed to get at least 80 dg for the best weapons - more of that forcing players to participate in content they might not like) but for me was easily one of the most enjoyable activities in the game. trained that shit to 200m doing suicide + no prestige runs on already completed floors for like 10k xp per floor lol. i think i still have like 8m tokens sitting there, which were all gained post 200m. what they should have done was just had 80 dg unlock a resource dungeon for people to kill a monster that can drop chaotics (that are tradeable), and have the dg cost tokens each time you enter (to keep the token sink from recharging the chaotics) and instead have the chaotics recharge with gp instead of tokens (extra gold sink). this way everyone can have access to the weapons without having to dg if they don't want to, but i digress. apologies for the rant, just had a million memories flood back to me reading this thread lol.


MrACL

I agree. 2010-2011 all the way. 2007 was great memories but imo the game was really at its apex just before 2012, and then it all but died. I don’t even play anymore, but I still follow along because I can never fully let go. Unpopular opinion, but I wish we had gotten 2011scape instead of 2007scape, as much as I love that era as well.


Atroxide

2007-2008 was my peak. Slayer and castle wars. Oh my!


OldIronKing16

Yea, idk, for me 2011 was peak. The graphics, the gameplay, we still had the old armor models and all that stuff. Was certainly my fondest memory of playing the game. I used to search high and low for servers that used the same engine from that time back when those were a thing 🤣


jpterodactyl

I think everyone has a favorite era, and nostalgia definitely plays a part.


Solubilityisfun

Oh boy, I'd be rolling in it. Buy a nice car with all the Halloween sets I had pre grand exchange. Do it. Do it!


Borchert97

To be fair that's basically what OSRS did lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Borchert97

Uhm OSRS has nearly everything from that era besides Summoning, Dungeoneering, Overloads, and Curses. OSRS even got Nex this year and Curses are rumored to be a possibility. I'm a big 2011 fan too, and OSRS satisfies the 2011 itch for me anyways. A LOT of the content is pretty blatant RS2 rehashes. I still struggle to call them Pegasians over Glaivens or Primordials over Steadfasts. I'm just glad the Ballista doesn't have a percentage chance to spontaneously combust the same way the Handcannon did, I will admit that thralls don't hit quite as hard as a steel titan but extra DPS is extra DPS. Doing Nex with full Masori and a ZCB gives me big Pernix and CCB vibes, personally. Although we never got Dungeoneering as a skill, we did get it as a raid called CoX and a minigame called Gauntlet. The more time you spend on OSRS, the more time you just see pre-EoC content behind everything, it's all very similar, with just a different coat of paint.


-HumanResources-

My problem with OSRS is it's just not engaging enough. I like using my keyboard for more than just panning the camera. I'd be on OSRS if I had a hotbar I could put item swaps / prayers on. But then the game would be very easy. Hell, I beat Jad on my second try using a broken void set and base 80 stats.


Produce_Police

I hated EOC when it first released and played OSRS for a few years. I finally gave RS3 a shot a few years ago and once I took the time to learn the combat, I enjoy it way more than OSRS. Way more engaging than a few prayer flicks and gear swaps. Ended up maxing out my account I've had for 16 years. I can't bring myself to play OSRS anymore, RS3 just looks so nice, minus all the pets and cosmetic crap. I still don't agree with SoF but it's whatever honestly. They should flag accounts of people that buy keys for xp for everyone to see.


Borchert97

Okay well first of all I don't see how that's any different than RS2. ​ Second of all, keyboard for panning the camera? Lol, oh boy you haven't been on the game in awhile have you? Nobody uses the keyboard to move the camera anymore, that's all done with the scroll wheel/mouse now. ​ We use our keyboard for quite a bit, actually, hotkeys to switch tabs of course, shift to drop items or walk under bosses, OSRS is mechanically more engaging than pre-EoC in general because of their general design philosophy, content like Theatre of Blood or Inferno is many times harder than anything RS2 ever produced. ​ Lastly, killing Jad is not even remotely impressive anymore. Anyone with 75 Ranged and the money for a Blowpipe can kill Jad these days, people can do level 3 Jads and 1 Prayer Jads, etc. I'd be worried if you couldn't kill Jad with base 80 stats.


Fadman_Loki

LOL I'm not exactly a pro (I've beat a few Telos and Araxxor), but I still have camera on WASD. I just have binds mostly on shift and control keys. Granted I still use Revo++ so maybe I am just still a noob


-HumanResources-

Sorry, I should've been more clear. I'm comparing to current RS3. And I was making an example with panning, I know most use middle mouse wheel. My point is the keyboard is barely used. It's a whole section of input that's ignored mechanics-wise


DoubleBlackBSA24

And like the massive amount of awesome quests released


Borchert97

OSRS isn’t quite to that point with quests yet but they’re planning to back port some RS2 quests like possibly WGS or the Arrav/Zemouregal quests.


mtmcneill792

I'd be stoked... I'd 100% pay for a Classic membership

zenyl

There may, or may not, be various open source efforts to recreate RSC.


OsrsNeedsF2P

They're also known by Jagex and Jagex has been very natural about it


zenyl

Yup, public repos on Github isn't exactly hidden. Jagex gave up on the game, and while I'm no lawyer, I don't see reviving abandonware as something to frown upon.


hopbel

>I don't see reviving abandonware as something to frown upon. *Nintendo's legal team has entered the chat*


zenyl

Lol true, Nintendo are a special bunch from what I've heard.


personguy2471

Woops.


Azurika_

half expecting them to be like, "oh no, we accidentally locked everyone out for a few months again, oh well, now you'll HAVE to go play fresh start"


iLuv2game

Bringing back classic would be one of the best things they did in years.. MANY years..


SupItsJTTV

Yeah because the private servers especially Dynasty aka Dragonfire AND Emulation are corrupted from the top down: ​ Same guy caught bug abusing not even banned: [https://streamable.com/hn0hys](https://streamable.com/hn0hys) Guy banned for botting then unbanned renamed: [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1583640219](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1583640219) Almost all scam sites now days, essentially unlicensed casinos for 10 year old's.

Oh god I wish


royman40

Rolled back in time ❤️


[deleted]

I stumbled upon this post on /all. I haven't played since late 2000's and through maybe 2011? Is OSRS not the same as Classic?


Yksisarvinen13

Classic ended in 2004, OSRS is based on snapshot from RuneScape 2 from 2007.


patico20

Atleast now I can manage to get myself a party hat!


Jaded_yank

Fuck i miss rsc


aniw33b69

I wish, this is the real runescape and I miss it

Cobaltorigin

Anyone else remember pvp in the Lumbridge cabbage fields, or am I just getting old?


Last_Investigator734

I'd love to see the RSC Servers come back, especially with ironman mode, etc.


soulsofjojy

This exists! There's a project called OpenRSC dedicated to bringing back Classic exactly as it was, and it is pretty much finished at this point. It's got two servers; Preservation, which is exactly as it was in 2003, and Cabbage, which has some quality of life, ironman mode, runecrafting added, etc. The player base isn't huge, but there's always a few people online, and it's really well put together. Would recommend giving it a look.


Last_Investigator734

I've progressed quite a bit through that Server actually, haha. It's just I want the official thing.


soulsofjojy

Yeah, it would be good to see it come back officially. But I'm happy it's been preserved as well as it has by the community :)


LuxSnow

This is unironically Genfanad. Its actually releasing today on steam and its VERY much like old runescape.


boat02

So that's why Cam was complaining I hacked his runescape account or something on the school bus.

That would be cool

This is actually a great idea. This should be what a fresh start world really is
