>What is 2004scape?
2004scape is the live 2004 server of the Lost City project, a project aimed at recreating lost Runescape versions, down to the Runescript.
Every cache revision that is available will slowly be recreated by the Lost City project, after every feature has been tested.
The Lost City engine is the best engine to ever reach the private server scene.
This server will have NO Quality Of Life features, and will exclusively be a recreation, not catering to playability.

>What day is it?
May 18th has come and gone, now the Lost City project is on July 13th 2004! The dark lands of Morytania has opened its gates!
All Free-to-Play and Members content of Runescape up to that day is available to play, at a normal 1x XP rate.
https://2004.lostcity.rs/news/219
>What content will be available?
The Lost City project hopes to recreate a bunch of lost versions, and content will slowly update to match later revisions, and it will eventually launch 2005scape, etc. The current goal is to reach May 2nd 2006, with the eventual hope of recreating lost versions after that as well.

Plain 2004 feels very much like f2p+ rather than a full blown members world. You get just enough content to feel like you're a step above f2p but not enough to really bring out the strengths of the game. Pretty cool though I'm still enjoying it. Also, with almost no make-all you can't retain a big chunk of the casual playerbase as their afk options are quite limited.

Chaos druids will always be best. Tribesmen are in second place if you want to safespot or use antipoisons (doubt they drop enough super antis to sustain indefinitely but it might be possible). Jogres suck.

The weekend peak was around 60 the last time I checked. The weekday playercount is typically between 20 to 40, give or take. We also have better OC, a more refined and cultured playerbase, and a much more active thread.

>probably doesn't
Even though version control was invented in America decades prior to Classic Jagex didn't use it until 2012. OSRS only exists because they're bad enough at preservation that they misplaced a 2007 backup tape before they had the chance to overwrite it and then rediscovered it years later.
>It’s known they did not have traditional source control until 2012 and on. There were supposedly tape backups taken on regular intervals, but those are gone. OSRS was restored from a full tape backup they managed to find.
>Before that, Jagex worked out of 3 folders: WIP, RC, and LIVE. Developers recorded the files they edited in WIP, and an Upload Manager copied them into RC manually using best judgement as needed. After testing, RC became LIVE.
>In simpler terms, the game was constantly being overwritten with no automated change logs to track versions or rewind history.

Projects in line with those archival efforts allow for functional private servers. While there may not currently be the exact 20xxScape variant which tickles your 'tism the RuneScape Archive, Lost City, etc. will be what makes it happen eventually. You can increase the likelihood of these projects succeeding by making high quality contributions.

?? do you know why 2004scape is the only project "in line" with that site? because it took literal years to even have a working prototype of a game made from scratch.
and now its worthless shit tainted by trannies and discord. give it up, RS will never be preserved unless jagex themselves releases that 07 backup

It's not, e.g. 2009scape and OpenRSC.

Host your own instance with chuds and matrix.

eh i highly doubt anyone would even want to play later iterations of the game. 2009scape exists and gets 30 players and 2012scape exists and gets like 10.
the reason private servers will never truly take off is because there's nothing here except an art gallery/museum. mmos are meant to evolve.

Fire giants I don't think are -the- meta, just a good balance between money and xp
Green drags are the best way to get combat xp and money, but obviously not afk or comfy
Moss Giants (seen below) I think are the best xp rates an hour

Worth checking out, although I don't agree with some stuff like nats at 91-99 rc as fire runes are obviously better

No they didn't. You can log in to your RSC or RS2 account right this very moment and still have all your items and xp.

Damn they already have a CML-like site up for 04scape? Very interesting data, but for non-poopsockers it def makes more sense to go for gp/xp rather than pure gains. Depending on how active wildy is you can get away with some impressive auto retal afk methods in certain areas of the map.

honestly just do whatever you feel like. that's the best way to play
i kill a lot of fire giants and trade the key halves for glories so i get a good stack to recharge
i afk yews with a goblin hitting me when i dont feel like playing
you can also plan around updates since we know what's coming. I've only been training ranged as fremmy helm is coming soon(ish) with rock crabs so what's the point of melee until then.. and with the fletch X update with that I can make all my yews into bows to alch. ez gaem

That site paints a pretty good picture on what most people are sticking to. Chop trees, chop heads, harass guards. Good activities in 04scape
