Be your own God – Run a Runescape Private Server

The domain of gamers thrives in a realm of servers. The games which draw maximum number of gamers are generally of multiplayer type. The quests, the battles, the goodies etc. keep the gamers loyal to the games. The gamers can also interact with other players as friends or foes while playing such games. The MMORPG or Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Games are one of the biggest draws for thousands of players.

Runescape is an MMORPG, owned by Jagex. This is a browser-based client-side fantasy game running on Java platform with high quality 3D rendering. The game is based in a medieval fantasy realm where players, in the role of customizable avatars, traverse the realm and gain experience by doing various tasks and completing various quests. The storyline of the Runescape is not linear owing to the fact that players set their own goals and objectives.

But many gamers now-a-days prefer playing on Runescape Private Servers.

Why to play on RSPS?

A Runescape Private Server is a privately owned server which has got nothing to do with Jagex. It is completely ‘The Other Realm”. The players do not log in with log-in credentials of Jagex server. The private server can fit any revision provided the client and cache are present.

Plus there are added advantages.

1. You gain experience faster as the server is not the original one.
2. You can do all the activities done by members for free, including buying rare items or exploring the area.
3. There is almost no legal danger involved in playing with RSPS.
4. The game is absolutely free and no fees are to be paid for any subscription.

Why should you host RSPS?

Running RSPS can become a good business prospect, provided you can get more subscriptions.

1. Rare items can be doled out for free.
2. Some companies even pay to put up advertisements if your Runescape Private Server can garner enough subscriptions and become popular.

The Legal Pitfalls

Running Runescape Private Servers may not be illegal but they are not perfectly legal as well.

Some legal pitfalls include:

1. Copyright infringement and violation of End User License Agreement may lead to shutting down of the private server.
2. Less popularity amongst the gamer population, resulting in lower in-game population.
3. Certain items may still need being paid for while the value of character remains same.
4. They are generally not up-to-date with Java servers and the 3D rendering may not be as smooth and as rich as the original one.
5. The private server do so much messing around with the original server that game-play may not even feel the same as that of the original one.
