Sad days. Haven't played in forever but the jar client was hella universal and let you play on anything. And Javas on arm, your pi, etc. Was such a low effort game 90% of the time and was made to be "playable" at like 10 fps on a web browser 30 years ago. So it was always a fun benchmark, similar putting doom on a calculator.
Going to be a lot harder for private servers and communities that where making HD clients. Makes me want to find a vanilla private server I can preserve or play around with locally.
lmk if you ever find something cool.
it seems rs3 has a dwindling playerbase compared to osrs.
Last I checked all the projects are missing over like 60% of content or quests and other basic things that don't exist.
And not all of them are very open sharing their progress because they are making money illegally off it.
The coolest server I don't remember the name of just essentially made their own small map, but everything was accounted for, and they had prestiges, and relics for people who max out and stuff.
