However, Jagex later updated the game and introduced many more trees once they created the Fletching skill. When members were introduced into the game, oak trees were added.

After many suggestions and complaints by those who missed the opportunity to sign, Mod Stevew added a new sticky thread to the Forum Feedback forum for others to sign, provided their account was a RuneScape Classic account. Although the forums were closed down, there was a thread running in the RuneScape Forums for those who wished to sign if they wanted to keep on using the forums. On the 27th of November 2007, Jagex made the decision to close down the RuneScape Classic forums for non- RuneScape Classic players. The only way to access the servers was from logging into RuneScape Classic during the opening weeks. However, RuneScape Classic was then discontinued in 2011 no new members were able to gain access to the servers until RuneScape's 15th anniversary in January 2016. After the first re-opening of Classic, Jagex decided to re-open the servers to members, old and new every six months.
Jagex had since occasionally re-opened RuneScape Classic to members only with an update on the 11th of November 2009. There were numerous reasons why-one being the cost of running the Classic servers. The same user account was used for all three games ( RuneScape Classic, Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3), but items, skills and progress on each were separate.Īs of the 15th of January 2006, only players who had logged into Classic between the 4th of August 2005 and the 15th of January 2006 could access and play RuneScape Classic. Although it received little attention in regards to support, such as content, it still received minor bug-fixes found within the game. RuneScape Classic was still open to those who had access. On the 4th of August 2005, Jagex stopped and closed down the free version of RuneScape Classic and so it remained the same. RuneScape 2 was then the live version of the game. RuneScape Classic was then replaced by RuneScape 2 on the 29th of March 2004. On the 27th of February 2002, the members expansion was released. Later that year, Andrew Gower, Paul Gower and Constant Tedder formed the company, Jagex. After great success, on the 4th of January 2001, RuneScape (known as RuneScape Classic today) was opened to everyone. Although never officially released, Andrew Gower re-wrote it and opened a beta the beta was open for one week before removing. DeviousMud was created using Java and 2D graphics.
On, Jagex announced that RuneScape Classic would be permanently closing on 6 August 2018 due to numerous unfixable problems with the game.ĭeviousMUD (the first original name of RuneScape) was the forerunner of RuneScape Classic, created by Andrew Gower (one of the founders of Jagex) in 1998. It was later replaced on 29 March 2004, with what was then known as RuneScape 2. RuneScape Classic was publicly released on 4 January 2001.
