“With advancements in technology helping to further support both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, our tools are no longer compatible with Classic,” the blog post reads. Serious botting issues were cited by Jagex in the company’s farewell blog post to the server, noting that as technology progressed, it became more difficult for the company to roll out security measures.
Server maintenance and bugs are only some of the issues Jagex faced keeping RuneScape Classic going. “Once I’ve finished all those videos and there’s nothing left to make, I’ll probably get back to playing Old School RuneScpae and probably stream it or make more videos.”Ī big part of Paul’s plans involve looking at what happened to RuneScape Classic over the years, including the biggest threat and reason the server is finally shutting down: botting. “I’ll start working on RuneScape Classic videos I’ve been meaning to make for many months, but haven’t yet, such as informative videos, discussions about Jagex’s handling of RuneScape Classic, discussions of common myths Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3 players have about the game, and tons of other things,” Paul said. There are videos he’s wanted to work on for months, and now that Classic is shutting down for good, he’s found a new reason to make those videos a top priority. He wants to focus on creating educational videos about RuneScape Classic to keep the game’s memory alive, while also commenting on the state of other RuneScape games. RuneScape Classic content is a rarity these days with videos about it being created maybe once every couple days or weeks.” “Everyone is sad to see it go but for the most part I think the YouTube/Twitch side of the RuneScape community is already recovering from the announcement. “There’s a lot of people that care about but prefer to play Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3 instead,” he said. It’s a rough time for the RuneScape Classic streaming community, but Colonello many fans had already switched over to streaming other RuneScape servers in anticipation of a finite moment, and even those completely dedicated to Classic only upload every few days at best. It was literally the staring point for a game that millions of people play today.” Even so, I don’t want the history of this game to be forgotten as it’s the only reason old school RuneScape and RuneScape 3 exist. “Sadly, it’ll be a lot more difficult, seeing as I will no longer be able to enter the game to record footage or fact check. “I plan to continue making videos about the game due to my channels focus on its history,” Colonello said. Colonello doesn’t want to give up on the RuneScape Classic community entirely, but admitted that without access to the server, the style of his videos will have to change. Colonello, a RuneScape Classic YouTuber, is already planning his next steps once RuneScape Classic shuts down in August. “I began thinking what exactly to focus on and do with so little time left, and I’m kind of still in that state of mind.” “We all figured at some point that RSC would shut down one day due to bugs and server maintenance (the JMods made this very clear several times), but I don’t think many of us expected Jagex to formally close it,” Paul said. Paul, who streams under the name Beast Fable, told Polygon he was “shocked and sad” when Jagex made the announcement last week, even though he began prepping for the inevitable a while ago. That’s more than a decade of playing the classic MMORPG - building friends, learning the game and, most importantly, getting to know those involved with the game through Jagex. Paul, a 30-year-old web developer in Wisconsin, started playing RuneScape in 2003, but didn’t start streaming until 2016. No one could have predicted the server’s closure. The streamers exist in their own little cocoon, happy to continue playing RuneScape.
RUNESCAPE BOT 2018 FULL
It’s not a full time job or a get-rich-quick-scheme it’s a passion project. But the 100 streamers who solely focus on the classic fantasy MMORPG have developed followings with audiences who return time and time again to explore an aging map. The RuneScape Classic Twitch community isn’t competing for attention with Fortnite streamers or well-known personalities. RuneScape Classic, the original version of the game developed by Jagex 17 years ago, is shutting down, a devastating turn of events for a devout group of Twitch streamers.
