First for those of you who do not look at news read this
Retro Revival For those who want the summary read on.
All taken from the link.
"Despite the fact we had not supported the product for years (with updates), we still had an active player base. He was keen for me to liaise with the other Classic fans in the company to work out what needed to be fixed in order for us to relaunch it."
"I also had to add support for the new display names system that Mod Duncan is working on, and we got some bonuses, like the ability to private chat between Classic and RS2."
"How about if
players could rent and administer their own Classic servers? As a server owner,
you could enable or disable any cheat codes you liked, add people to the invite list or banned list, or
give individual friends any privileges you liked within your world. In this way, the activities of macroers would become pointless, as you could go on to a cheating-enabled world and get all the stuff you wanted for free if you wanted,
but there would still be worlds where youd have the satisfaction of knowing you worked for your stuff. I should explain that
your character would be saved separately for each world, so you couldnt cheat on one world then use the stuff you gained on a non-cheating world. The different rules set by the owner of each world would really make each world a different game, with different people in positions of power, wielding cheat codes and unleashing Classics most awesome spells and items, or making everyone work to get ahead..."
Sounds like alot of fun.
