No, this is not a joke!
It has been a wild ride. RS5 was mentioned for public in 2009 and 4 years later, we are here! It has been a wild ride ever since i joined the development team in August 2012 and so much work has been put into these scripts. We all have been putting in loads and loads of time into these scripts and we have had our ups and downs. But we made it and now, we are ready to release RS5 for real!
Tomorrow, we will take down the server around 17:00 and put a password on it and make the final preperations. We will wipe out the player data in the database and clean it up before the release. After we open up the server again, you will play on the real RS5!
So, to be more precise:
Release date: 2013-12-15
Time: Locking the server at 17:00, aiming on opening it up at 19:00.
We will work on bug fixing after the release but these will not be pushed onto the server directly as the last 2 weeks as we dont want to disturb your play time so much.
From the development team, we thank you all for your patience and support. It's because of you, the players, we have dedicated our time to do this!
Happy playing!
