Runescape private servers anyone? There was a whole scene circa 2012 that reverse engineered the Runescape game client, then built up a dev community of people replicating the game's quests, combat system, leveling system, game loop, multiplayer, chat, etc... with backends written in Java. The community got to a point where prebuilt server "bases" competed in adoption and snippets and tutorials were posted with code that implemented certain functionality built on top of server codebases, that you could copy and paste to create your own Runescape server. What got even more interesting was people creating entirely new game content instead of trying to emulate existing Runescape gameplay, using the same game engine and backends. |
