    Although this is a arduous task, it can be done.

    In my opinion, there needs to be central hub for all RSPS's. When you have competing sites to rune-server, you are segmenting the user-base.
    Similar to how google and facebook swallow anything within their realm (youtube, recaptcha, and instagram to name a few), the r-s team needs to be aggressive in removing competition and acquiring products and services outside the realm of runescape.

    We're dealing runescape private servers, so it would make sense to have products that can be used for other private servers.
    The first thing that comes to mind are r-s certified web templates. If I were the owner of this site I would have a web page for displaying and purchasing free and premium web templates catering to private servers of any kind.

    People are releasing free templates, servers, icons, and everything else on here all the time. Why not work with the developers and artists to create recognition and/or monetary gain for both parties? No one wants to purchase a decent server from someone because they assume individual people are sketchy, and scammers. If this website can serve as a middle-man between the vendor and the consumer, more purchases would be made, more content would be released, and more people would gravitate towards this community.

    That's a very good idea... could implement some VOIP into rsps. Maybe when you join a clan chat you could turn VOIP on or mute a person so you don't hear them etc...

    I'm sure the community will be very excited to see a VOIP API, that encapsulates all rsps frameworks.

    To echo everything else in this thread - I've been around private servers for a lot longer than I care to admit, I spent years on MITB/MoparScape before joining here and I've seen (and started) more than a few of these threads myself.

    The scene itself has disintegrated over the years from a more advanced, methodical approach to RS hacking and a desire to actually learn to program in the Moparisthebest days through to where we are now with everyone wanting a shortcut and not really understanding anything what they're doing in the slightest. In all honesty (not to be a negative nancy) this will go nowhere, alongside the RSPS scene which will also die in due course.

    My best advice to anyone who actually wants to do something to improve is to focus on yourself and forget this entire branch of the web. It's a cancerous battle ground in which the people who have been here for a while stand by and laugh while very few newcomers come in and want the easiest possible way to get something out there. Myself and several other people over the course of the past decade or so have made decent sized, well regarded releases that have ultimately made absolutely no difference to anything other than allowing us to learn bad practices and make some buddies.

    If you truly want to focus on creating something like a VoIP capability for RSPS then create it, learn from it, sell it to a few larger servers, make a bit of cash and walk away. Learn what an actual web sided market looks like in the "real world", branch out into learning how search SEO works and how engines canvas the web and turn that into a profit for a local small business - look at digital marketing and how to properly manage a marketing funnel, then automate it and turn that into a positive ROI for a few local businesses, get your name out there and start making some real money with the time you're investing into these things.

    I wish I had done it a lot sooner than I did, I make a really comfortable living from it now and it's done me the world of good. The sooner you get out there, get your name known in a few local circles and business verticals (mines is usually construction and hospitality) and start growing a business, the better. This place will suck your time, effort, money and love for the craft down into hell with it.

    I've never seen you post here without mentioning your income or career.

    Yeah but in this particular post he's actually offering solid advice on why you shouldn't be bothered with RSPS if you have even basic internet skills.

    Learning and offering SEO services to small business owners in your local area is a huge profit if you can execute it properly, and find the niches. I have a friend who does it and enlists me for website development help, and he's looking at buying his own house soon, when he used to be a Manager at some grocery store, and someone who always asked me for 20$.


    In short and to stay on topic, RSPS is dying. Use your skills to make money, but don't expect RSPS to be a cash cow for the majority of RSPS owners anymore.
