Longtime fans of RuneScape may have created private servers, but Jagex is finally letting everyone create official community servers.
The thing about MMOs is that no matter what genre it is, eventually some players are going to want to set up their own servers. Maybe they just want to make grinding a little easier, or make certain loot more accessible, or maybe they just hate other people or even like other people enough to want to fully participate in roleplay with them. The point is, players love choices, especially in something like an MMO, which is a lifetime commitment type of deal – pick one and that’s your destiny. RuneScape is over 20 years old, it’s the original version anyway, and of course there are plenty of private servers, but Jagex has just announced Project Zanaris, “also known as the Old School RuneScape community server.”

You want your NPCs to be 5x more powerful Do you want everyone to be Ultimate Iron Man, or is PvP available everywhere for you – either way?
