Welcome
- A small fan page / launch pad — official OSRS plus private servers, grouped by era.
- Servers listed below are unofficial preservation projects, not affiliated with Jagex Ltd.
- Bookmark /gaming/runescape/ directly — server hosts change over time.
2004 · Lost City Era
Preservation servers recreating RuneScape as it was in 2004.
Open-source recreation of RuneScape 2 as it launched in May 2004, rebuilt from decompiled client/server code and old cache dumps rather than guesswork. Runs live, incrementally-patched revisions instead of one static snapshot.
- Play straight in the browser, no client install required
- Progresses through real 2004–2005 content updates over time, at the original pace
- Active dev team, open GitHub repo, public roadmap
Other Era Servers
Preservation of RuneScape Classic, the isometric pre-RS2 client from 2001–2003, before the switch to the 3D engine.
- Original 2D isometric client and UI, not a reskin of a later revision
- Slower, grindier economy typical of the Classic era
- Small dedicated community focused on historical accuracy
Targets the RS2 client roughly a year after Lost City's starting point — post-Lost City the quest, pre-Evolution of Combat.
- Wilderness and old-style PvP still intact
- Content built out toward the mid-2000s quest/skill lineup
- Fan-maintained, community-driven development
Open-source continuation of the old RS2 client around the HD graphics upgrade era, before Evolution of Combat and the Grand Exchange changes that followed.
- HD-era graphics with the old tick-based combat system
- Fully open source, community forks welcome
- Long-running project with regular content patches
Solo-developed remake targeting the 2011–2012 client, later than the other entries here and closer to modern OSRS's starting point.
- One-person passion project, built from scratch rather than a leaked source
- Development notes and progress posted publicly
- Smaller playerbase, actively maintained
