RSC Preservation is a recreation of the authentic and "official" RuneScape Classic server build as it had existed at the games closing on 6 August 2018 at 10:06:23 AM GMT. Preservation runs on the Open RuneScape Classic source code. Several other game types are based on this source code, with some including custom content and others still focusing on game preservation and historically accurate game details.
Preservation-type:
- RSC Preservation
- 2001scape
Custom Content:
RSC Wiki
Because the goal of the RSC Preservation server is to completely recreate RuneScape Classic as it existed at closing in 2018, it is appropriate to look up information about the game on the official RuneScape Classic wiki.
However, if you edit the RSC wiki, please verify that whatever information you add is accurate to the original game, and not based off of private server behaviors.
RSC Preservation is currently quite accurate to the original and "official" game at this point in terms of game details and logic, but there are still many small things which should be fixed. Referencing RSC+ replays (as described below) is essential to ensure that no private server influence permeates the wiki.
RSC+
RSC+ is an authentic RSC client that supports game client recordings from a network level, replaying of recordings, world switching, and various overlays for information display. RSC+ was first released in January of 2016 during the last official reopening of RuneScape Classic. Open RSC's framework is now authentic enough that the RSC+ client can connect to the server and play the game again! More information on how to use it to connect to Open RSC may be found here:

RSC+ does not currently support connection to other Open RSC maintained game types:
Differences from "official" RSC
Open RSC's current deployments of the Preservation/replica builds have some minor differences from the final "officially" supported build of RSC which was closed in 2018. These differences are almost entirely intended to restore previously broken game content that was never officially fixed when the "official" servers were online, other than very small cases where information is still currently missing or needing to be further improved on.
- Fixes to how desert heat works. (Source Needed)
- Re-implementsThordur, the Black Hole, and restores the Disk of Returningwhich was removed in "December 2001". (Source Needed)
- Fixes to various issues, such as the infamous Template:Crystal chest glitch.
