2005.RS Scape05

Built from RuneScape as it existed on June 27th, 2005, then continued through an original timeline inspired by the same era.
 
WHAT IS SCAPE05?
Scape05 is built upon the game as it existed on June 27th, 2005.
 
This date forms the foundation of the server. The original skills, quests, equipment, combat, locations, progression, and visual style of 2005 remain at the heart of the experience.
 
However, the story does not stop there.
 
Scape05 continues forward through a new and alternative timeline. New content may be added,
only when it feels like something that could have existed in 2005.
 
Every addition must respect the original graphics, mechanics, balance, simplicity, spirit, and soul of the game.
This is not modern RS/OSRS placed inside an old client. It is a continuation of the 2005 experience.
 
AUTHENTIC 2005 GAMEPLAY
Experience meaningful progression without modern systems taking away the value of your achievements.
Classic combat and equipment
Original skills and progression
Classic quests and adventures
Player-driven trading
The dangerous original Wilderness
Period-accurate graphics and interfaces
No modern combat abilities
 
Train your skills, complete quests, build your bank, fight bosses, trade with other players, and prepare yourself for the adventures in the Wilderness.
 
A NEW 2005 TIMELINE
Scape05 explores what RuneScape might have become if development had continued in the style of 2005.
New content is designed around the limitations and design philosophy of the era. It should look familiar, remain easy to understand, and fit naturally into the existing world.
 
Examples include:

Wilderness Slayer
Deep Wilderness Fishing
 
Unique monsters that fit the era and style
Unique holiday events and rewards
 
New content is not added simply because it existed in a later version.
It must be redesigned or created specifically for Scape05 and belong within its alternative 2005 timeline.
 
 
QUESTS, BOSSES AND EXPLORATION
 
Complete classic quests, explore dangerous locations, solve puzzles, and earn rewards that contribute to your character.
 
Face recognizable enemies and bosses such as the Kalphite Queen, or discover new encounters designed to feel like authentic 2005 content.
 
Combat remains simple to understand, but preparation, positioning, equipment, supplies, and game knowledge still matter.
 
 
THE WILDERNESS LIVES AGAIN
The Wilderness is one of the most important parts of Scape05.
 
Enter to fight, complete Slayer assignments, gather resources, skill in dangerous areas, or hunt monsters.
 
A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN WORLD
Trade directly with other players, join bossing trips, participate in clan battles, attend drop parties, and take part in seasonal or community events.
 
RETURN TO 2005 AND CONTINUE THE ADVENTURE
Scape05 begins with the world of June 27th, 2005 and continues through a new timeline shaped by the same design philosophy.
Classic gameplay. Meaningful progression. Dangerous Wilderness content. Original adventures.
New ideas built with the spirit and soul of 2005.
