I remember feeling distinctly optimistic and proud of our work right before Jagex announced they'd be yanking the rug out from under us in about 3 months.
Think about the ratio of 4 active developers on a client with an active playerbase of only 50 players online at any given time (of which, yes, about 70 to 90% were botting). RSC+ was in kind of a renaissance period of fast development. It'd been up for nearly 18 years, why stop? In the week before this announcement, we had 4 active contributors to the project.
Somehow we didn't see it coming we just thought RSC would be up forever. Influenced by OSBuddy paving the way for "legit" third-party clients, RSC+ was released to make playing RSC on modern computers with their massive 1920x1080 resolutions more enjoyable, to provide quality of life updates, and to provide a level playing field for players whose only alternative to the aging 512x346 locked official client was a closed source bot client (which by the way, did not have resizable mode until about a week after RSC+ released with the feature).Įverything was happy with RSC+ for a couple years and thanks to its open source nature, many quality of life features were added to the client including: an XP tracker, various chat commands, a ground item overlay, the ability to see what herbs you were trading with bot users who already knew what herbs they were trading to you, inventory count overlay, fatigue/chat notifications, etc.īut then one day, May 23rd 2018, Jagex announced that RuneScape Classic would be shutting down.
RSC+ was first released in January of 2016 during the last official reopening of RuneScape Classic.
