Cywir is a RuneScape 3 private server solely dedicated to bringing the community a fun and enjoyable Evolution of Combat focused experience.
The server was originally founded in early 2019 and soon became popular amongst the RS3 private server player base with just over 3000 registered accounts created in under 12 months.
Which is pretty good going!
But as some of you may recall, one of Jagex's more recent decisions to end support for its Java client prompted us and a handful of others to update our revisions.
In doing so we ultimately made the decision to halt support for our live server and close down to completely focus on updating our revision to the latest at the time 910.1. on top of this we made the call to entirely overhaul our current systems as well as play content catch up from the 3 year jump in revision from 887.2 to 910. Which is no easy feat.
This project is precious to us, and a lot of time and effort goes into what we think makes a good private server.
Our goal is simple, to provide a breath of fresh air to the RuneScape 3 private server scene
Over the years interest for high revision servers has dwindled, ultimately ending in sharp declines of players.
We hope that we are able to rekindle the fire that used to burn and engage with the community once again to bring a great RuneScape 3 private server back to your desktops.
By fully engaging with our ever growing community we are confident that we will be able to achieve the goal of creating the most fun, immersive and highly detailed experience possible.
The current progression of Cywir is going extremely well and we are growing ever closing to announcing our earlier release date voted in by the community.
Not so long ago we made a proposition to our community with an option to vote whether we release earlier with small amounts of content cuts or we continue working until the server is complete and at the standard we promised.
Combat is one of if not thee most important factor for a RuneScape 3 private server to be functional and popular.
A good combat system creates an immersive and engaging experience and without it players will not stick around.
Our promise to you provide the most accurate and fluid Evolution of Combat system possible by closely analysing RuneScape 3 combat system and mirroring into our server.
Same goes for this section, i have not gathered new media to yet.
Will be re-doing all this very soon because of the addition of NXT.
But here is some old;

Here's a little sneak peak into what we are working on currently! Everything shown here is in fact work in progress and is be no means the final product. on top of that some of the media is outdated and taken from the discord channel and does not give an accurate insight on how far we are development wise.
Some of the processes which are shown are sped up significantly for testing purposes. i.e. mining.
Loot tracker - Metrics
Toolbelt - Functionalities
Wardrobe - Player customisation
bank tabs and customising tabs - Bank rework
Placeholders - Bank rework
Presets -Bank rework
Rock prospecting - Mining and Smithing rework
Generic mining w/ Stamina/progress and Rockertunities - Mining and Smithing rework
Generic smithing - Mining and Smithing rework
Armour upgrading and switching projects - Mining and Smithing rework
---------
Side note, Mining and Smithing is basically fully complete now only very small minor details to add such as burial and masterwork effects but other than that everything is flawless.
Will post more media of the Mining and Smithing rework once i post the full update log for it which shouldn't be to far away.
For accurate up-to date insight on development progress the thread itself is updated regularly.

Been slightly preoccupied working on various stuff.
But.. made a start on our new website wrote completely in angular to maximise responsiveness and when finished this website will be fully integrated with the server and our discord.
Here's an example of some of the front end work; Live grand exchange feed (Work in progress)
Continuing on from the image above, item searching, filtering and front-end changes.
Advanced filtering coming soon™

Today we announced what we plan to do with player accounts from our previously live server.
Taken from our discord channel-:
Quote:
Hi, @everyone
This is an important announcement regarding player progression on the previously live server.
Both Scythe and I have sat down and spoke about the current situation regarding carrying progression over and have made a final decision.
After brainstorming the pro and cons of resetting player progression we have came to the conclusion to a full reset of player accounts would be more beneficial for the longevity of Cywir, as allowing players to carry over progression would be detrimental to the economy as well as the competitiveness of our server.
This decision was not taken lightly, and we fully understand this will upset some of our community but this decision was made purely for the survival of the server on launch.
With making this decision this allows us to update with no restrictions further bettering your experience on launch.
*All premium member tiers and benefits will carry over to the live server on launch and the top 15 players across all gamemodes from previous will receive a small package on launch as a thank you for dedicating time to us.
In addition to this,
Major progress is being made both server sided as well as website, More updates and media to follow in due course as and when current projects are fully completed.

Thanks, legacy combat will be in but you will always be at a disadvantage playing in legacy as you’re naturally outscaled by EoC.

Just a quick update on the current situation and development of Cywir.
recently both I and NoX have returned to work which ultimately slowed development.
But this project is very much still an active development and progress, updates and changes will resume soon at a steady pace.
As it stands at the moment i am currently putting all my efforts into writing our own APIs which will be fully integrated with the our website as well as the server, providing a seem-less professional experience across the board.
so for the people looking forward to this project, hang tight whilst we get ourselves back to normal!
Cywir is a RuneScape 3 private server solely dedicated to bringing the community a fun and enjoyable Evolution of Combat focused experience.
