Server is open but it has a whitelist and is not broadcasted on server list. It will stay that way until we're confident we can release something that is complete, and not repeat an RS5 release scenario.
I have been personally working on features that I'm really proud of and I'm hoping to share more in the future. I have leaked a picture of one thing I have been working on, on the VMP discord. It's vague but it's related to inventory. A lot of work is getting done I can assure you. I hope you guys can wait this out so we can provide you "A world of its own".
