Checked out the alpha yesterday and was very impressed. Only complaints were the sounds being silent sometimes as you mention, and not being able to copy paste password on the login screen. I like having secure passwords and don't fancy typing in a string of 20 random characters each time. Also not sure i'd be able to play with items not getting highlighted in inventory when you use them but maybe that's a skill issue i could overcome lol.
Copy paste password is client, same with no white highlight. So those wont be changed since its from the original client-cache backup. White outline was added few weeks after the rev date we're based on. The overall goal of Lost City is to go through every client rev we have. I think the next one we have will have white outline. Theres a lot of other small things but its surprisingly easy to get used to in my experience. It adds to the immersion anyways :)
@@Sirhephaestus understand your point. But client edits are a huge no-no. May not be a part of the game world but its still a part of the client. Especially since the authenticity of the client is verifiable, client edits go against our vision
@@Tannerdino And if there was a security risk? I'm sure there's been lots patched over the years. This is coming from someone who despises the new game because of small changes that don't matter to 99.99% of players, but i don't think a blanket "no edits" policy quite works.
@@Sirhephaestus The client won't have security risks. You'll have to deal with the authenticity! Server is open source so you can always just play solo, a forked server, or w/e The goal isn't to generate the largest player base we can, it's to make sure the code is authentic. The code here is what matters
RS isn’t what it used to be. Quit a few years ago when they reduced the polling requirement to 70% just to make sure the new skill passed, and it wouldn’t have passed the proper 75% threshold. Huge red flag in terms of Jagex just forcing content they want regardless of what the polls say. Honestly it’s good that I quit so I can focus on more important stuff but it’s sad that the game I used to enjoy so much is long gone.
If they ask u to take this down make sure to mention false botting bans happening in rs3 id only make a private server to get there attention on the issues in game
Just play 2004 servers when jagex releases their official private server mode. No need to research. They have everything archived. And there will be more players there. Hope to see you there
@@Llllillilililililillll they've said they don't have everything archived though. The only full copy of rs2 they had was rune day 1989 (august 2007). One theory is that Andrew still has some backups of the game but he's unwilling to share since he doesn't work for jagex anymore. It's reasonable to assume they archived everything, yes. But, despite the reasonable assumptions, them having the archives still is just not the case, sorry. Project zanaris has no chance of producing old versions of rs. They'd have to allow us to use old caches, old clients, old engine, and old runescripts. It just won't work with what they're currently proposing
Did Jagex provide a take down notice for this server? I played a little bit and then a few weeks ago they announced a bunch of rsps servers are being taken down because of Project Zanaris. Any update?
Thank you so much for making/maintaining this version of the game
version of the game i have the most vivid memories of. the UI, the textures, the models
No way I'm witnessing this man use shift run in 2004Scape...?!
Shift run been around since day 1 and it was what used to be the easiest way
Ctrl run

@@Tannerdino At least for the password pasting that'd be nice to get added since it's not actually part of the game.

This looks really well done. Is this going to have the original MIDI music playing with the old Windows sound font?
@@HyperGolem definitely
holy
That's what it used to look like?? Looks so much better than in osrs
beta when
2004scape is open to public
Oh wait I read the description

Would downloading client be a better way to play than browser?
@@Zibenez doesn't really make much difference

I tried it out, was amazing!! Would be good to copy and paste password in

@@ItsMrLee No
cool idea, too bad jagex is shutting down all private servers to create their own. rip
I'm not worried about that
