RSPS is the acronym for a 'RuneScape' (the
massive MMORPG by Jagex) Private Servers.
There is an active community of typically
Java Developers who have focused their
time and energy in recreating the RuneScape gameplay using modified RuneScape 'Clients' (the Program used to play the game) and 'Privately' developed 'Servers' which allow the connections from the Clients which are passed arround.
Typically a RSPS is based on a RuneScape 2 revision 317 which was online Live around 2005, there have been other revisions which are used and the revision number is the basic name coined for use of servers, for instance there are 4 Main types of RuneScape, these are RuneScape Classic, RuneScape 2, RuneScape
HD and RuneScape 3.
RSPS are customisable per revision, e.g 317 is ALOT more customisable than a 508 because of how well known the Client has become,
people have completely
re-written the client in the past to get a better understanding of how the game works. The Client changes with every update so this can take a while for
people to understand.
There are a handful of RS3 Servers online and also a handful of '
Real' OSRS Servers, I say
real becuase it has become a process to simply dump the data from the newer RS2 (OldSchool RuneScape) and pretty much force it into the Client from 2005 to make use of the new Items, Monsters, Objects and Maps.
"Anybody know of any RSPS online right
now?"
"Does anybody know where I can find a list of online RSPS??"
"Can somebody help me add OldSchool RuneScape data to my
317 RSPS?!"
"Does anybody have the
real 474 RSPS maps?"
"How can I add Construction to my 718 RSPS?"
