Rune_Server

Its video's like this that have inspired me to develop my own "old school" private server for the last few years. The only difference is, mines not hosted nor advertised, its just for a group of about 10 old runescape friends to get onto, talk and relive old memories.

In my opinion if JaGex are truely serious about stopping the ever emmerging marco problem they need to take REAL steps against the people developing the bots. Now im not a lawyer so i cant exactly comment of this, but if JaGex want to stop botting they need to really take steps against the developers, not the users. The only way they can really do this is through legal action. By taking out legal action against the developers it would send out the message to most other bot owners that JaGex are serious about this problem. Right now the only steps JaGex are taking against botters are in game punishments such as resetting skills (lol) and occasionally banning accounts and quite frankly its no-where near enough. What they need to understand is that the developers are developing these bots for money, whilst the actual botters are the ones botting on the server. Banning accounts isn't going to stop the development of bots, its just going to lead to the user making a new account once his old "botting account" is banned. For the people suggesting small trivial changes to be made daily/weekly. Although this would probably have an effect for the first week or two of this being around, after that initial period it would just become an incovienience to other players. It would be extremly easy for the developers of these scripts to just program the bot so if it see's something different that would not usually be there, to turn around walk back to the bank it came from and log out.
