As someone who joined yesterday after seeing this HN post, I can honestly say I'm extremely disappointed in this. I went into this expecting a grand RS 2009 replica, but instead what I found was a twisted version of that filled with bugs and an obvious lack of attention to detail. Massive game breaking bugs at every turn. For example: the biggest glitch you can imagine; when your character dies you dont get moved back to spawn, but you could just pick up your own items lol. And another one that allowed infinite attack XP gain with an autoclicker(the dummys at varrock never cut you off past level 8 attack). Also missing NPCs everywhere that messed with the immersion. I logged 39 bugs in my first 24-36h playing, and didnt even get a chance to report them all because the tyrannical admin Ceikry banned my account for "bug abuse". all because I was talking about a HIGHLY obvious glitch that I found 10 mins after finding it and "abused" for literally 500xp. Unbelievable that this bug was allowed, and once I alerted them to it they did an emergency patch. I was banned for my "attitude". I really had high hopes for this and even planned on contributing pull requests to the game for new content like quests, among bug fixes but Im glad they showed their true nature before I got too invested and wasted my time with their immature antics. Just know this isn't a RuneScape remake, but a dark version of it - missing content - with weird custom features like PKing removed only in non-deep wildy(?)- and the wrong requirements for items (fremmenik cloak(?) ran by tyrant staff who bans you for shining light on their shocking incompetence.

I guess I'm obliged to clear up your misconceptions. 1) Yes, there's lots of bugs, that's why there's a gitlab where you can report them and we fix them. We didn't make most of these bugs, they were inherited from previous developers. If you'd bothered to check, you'd know that we resolve about 100 issues a month. 2) That death bug you mentioned was rare, hard to reproduce, and fixed within 2 hours of us finding out about it :) 3) The dummies don't stop at 8 attack, they stop at combat level 8. You'd know if you bothered to spend 5 seconds doing any real research, I imagine this is applicable to at least another 50% of the "bugs" you say you logged but never reported (I wonder why that was?) 4) We did not do an emergency patch to fix this thing you believed was a bug, because it wasn't. You're just directly making that up. 5) You were banned because you explicitly stated a very clear malicious intent to, and I quote from you ingame, "take advantage of this before I report it". Bug abuse is zero tolerance. When I confronted you about this in game, you literally said something along the lines of "I was only pretending to be retarded" 6) PKing was not a thing in 2009, therefore its nonexistence is not custom content. Again, if you had done 5 seconds of research... 7) Again, you were banned for explicitly stating an intent in public to abuse bugs before reporting them, and sharing details of abusable bugs with other players. Both of these things get anyone banned.

the evidence is right there, and now you complaining about bugs and shit, the thing is. This is an open source project, where volunteers have it running. and coders is volunteerings. next time, just behave properly on the next server you will find so you don't get banned again because of bad behavior.
