The end?

[TehByte]

Could it be the end of RSPS as we know it?
Runescape has closed yet another great server down, this server being Dodian.

Could this be a sign that Jagex is fighting back? And getting rid of RSPS?

I sure as hell hope not ;D
I think Dodian got closed cause it was making money out of Jagexs products.

What do you think?

 

[GhostSnyper]

Wow,I think this is because they charge for premium. For those of us who have a donation, but do not require it to get the full game, it is fine. He's milking people, when a private server should be free

 

[Tyler]

I think they just got cocky.
Made a great server, best server around.
Wanted to be better, and ruined it all.

 

[TehByte]

Yehp, I agree with you both.
But you are able to say "donation" and it gives you new areas and items in-game.
xD

 

[GhostSnyper]

But I don't think they did. They made it a requirement to get things that are already in the game. Take WowScape, a World of Warcraft P server. They can do what they do because it's mostly custom items. You donate to help support them, and as an incentive, they will award you with custom items, or ingame items. You can still fully enjoy the game without the need to donate. From what I was hearing, "donating" is almost a requirement

 

[Tyler]

Pretty bad huh.
Obviously, the key to a great server is too, not force your players to donate, but to get them to donate at their own accord.

Dodian wasn't even that popular, I had only heard of the source and that's it tbh. Don't forget that when a server closes, a new server is created.

And never forget Ragescape!

 

[Leimone]

Hope they are.
PS's are worthless.

 

[TehByte]

Lol, dodian wasn't that popular? 300+ players on all the time. Over 250K accounts registerd? If that isn't popular my god I wonder what popular is.

Also, they arn't worthless, they are a way of learning Java and displaying your work and abilities.

 

[TheAJ]

Oh dang Dodian was like god of all RuneScape servers (317)

And they are popular, the most popular server acually, because it's been around since 2005

Most RuneScape servers (95%) would have around 5-15 players

Lol it took them 4 years to get 250k accounts? I got 5k accounts on my old server in a week, but that may be because it was new.

But if it was so popular then how come I had never heard of the server? All I had heard of was the source tbh.

 

[Worthy]

They seem to be closing down the biggest servers, they won't really care about servers that have 10-30 people online as they are so quiet.

 

[TehByte]

They are closing all their servers and keeping Dodian Wars open.

@Steve; people heard of the source, which then had links to their website hence why they attracted RSPS creators. Also, their are lots of popular servers that you never hear of. I had never heard of Batttlescape until my friend showd me their website.

 

[Psychopath]

Yup, its just like all other Private servers.

 

[TehByte]

Indeed.

[georgegeorge]

emps-scape is the best server around ( as i know )

 

[TehByte]

Never heard of it tbh.

 

[heyhowareya]

well even if runescape private servers were brought down and were to end,a man of justice would come and save evryone and bring them back up (plus get fined sued ect. by jagex)

i think they wont end,since they have proved that they are more fun than real runescape,i mean people spend years into getting high stats,while on private servers it can be done easily,also how many players runescape gets,i dont know why the fuck they havent come to private servers yet,most people think there illegal,but if they were jagex would have brought down moparscape,silab,RaGEZONE and other places,but whereas they stated before that there no threat to real runescape.
