RuneScape

I've been posting screenshots of my journey on my Lost City post from last month for anyone who wants to see what's up: https://lemmy.ml/post/25471347?scrollToComments=true

Runecrafting 110 is live and a bunch of engine improvements.

Outside of the headline changes: more quests, few more 110 expansions, new ways to train invention, and new skill is in design (#SailingForRS3?)

Start of Double XP period and miscellaneous fixes.

Competitionists rejoice with more tasks and Double XP starting Feb 21st.

Relic Presets and some more small QoL updates.

I'll show myself out.

Fully open source remake server, 1x exp rate. Amazing launch just happened this weekend: https://2004.lostcity.rs/

Discord invite for people who are interested: https://discord.gg/Wvkv2dmjXg

For the record, it's very rare for private servers to pull these kinds of numbers. I suspect there's a huge boost due to a few factors:

1. 2004scape is open source (https://github.com/2004Scape/)
2. The lead developer Pazaz previously helped a lot of other remakes, so is well known
3. Jagex closed Scape05 just last month, so the players need somewhere to go

Regaining our trust seems a recurring theme, bug fix galore and more than one log from a tree?!

A new year, a new sandy quest!

Shooting Star became a currency and tier 10, some fixes and content alignment for Woodcutting/Fletching update, last but not least some preparations for the upcoming Quest next year.

Woodcutting and Fletching expansion to 110. For some reason doesn't even mention firemaking that also got (forcefully) upped to 110.

The Spirits are comings, Wood Spirits. A few combat tweaks as well.

Amid the dry-spell, double xp has been granted. Some cool Gamejam snippets though.

The person who killed him had been ragging him for 3 days, using an exploit that lets you freeze your opponent in Bounty Hunter, and using a cheat client that lets you 1-tick spec from non-spec bar weapons. Allah yerhamak big 0

Desert Quest I got pushed to Jan to avoid rushing the story, looking like a busy December though.
