Meanwhile, I'm playing an unofficial restoration of a 22 year old game.

What is Lost City?

Lost City is focused on RuneScape preservation through open-source accessibility.

We are an initiative that has been ongoing since 2022 to recreate and restore forever-lost RuneScape 2 versions.

The old game will only live in fleeting memories otherwise. Jagex has no backups.

Development is at a steady hobbyist pace - after 2 years of active open-source development (2023) we hosted Lost City publicly for players in 2025.

If you want to help, potential contributors are encouraged to visit our development Discord to chat with us. We can teach people willing to learn.

I played runescape a bit in school, I didn't get into it I'm french so I ended up falling for another popular mmorpg at the time Dofus.

I like the job system from runescape, I like systems so the different jobs going from 1-99 seems cool to me.

Can you elaborate on what you like about the game and why you still play it all these years later?

Also why do you think the MMORPG and gaming industry as a whole is stagnating? Seems a lot of the biggest mainstream games are just reverting their game back to 10 years ago and people are liking that more than their new versions. Happened to World of Warcraft, Runescape, Dofus and League of Legends now also released a classic mode that is just the 2014 game. 

@Leo Gura Chris Roberts the founder of star citizen is apparently a black sheep in the game dev industry and is known for being a narcissistic micromanager that's clearly destroying the actual business efficiency of Cloud Imperium Games to produce actual value for their customers.
