    RSPS is a business, why take the risk with something entirely unique (OSRS servers are still different to one another), when you can just launch another oldschool server and rake in the cash (easier said than done obviously).

    Unique servers *have* been done, even recently, but players don't want it.

    That being said, 'different servers' are being worked on as we speak, i.e. Nalore, so it will be interesting to see how that goes, but for now OSRS servers are the 'safe bet'.
    Players who play OSRS and go to RS3 will probably realize it's too newschool for them.
    That seems to imply a gap to be filled.

    I think that the general quality of whats available to the public has increased and naturally, the same old shit can come off as stagnant.
    The OSRS / CUSTOM SERVER releases appear to work and be profitable. Trying to branch out from that (which i'd personally like to do) feels like a gamble.

    In the large scale of things it isn't. We're at a small portion of the people who want to play a good version of runescape.
    Jagex has fumbled a lot of things up, god knows how.
    I thought the main objective was to provide good versions of runescape lol.

    In terms of stagnation, OSRS servers is what RSPS players have become used to, and what they want.
    RSPS is a business, why take the risk with something entirely unique (OSRS servers are still different to one another), when you can just launch another oldschool server and rake in the cash (easier said than done obviously).

    Unique servers *have* been done, even recently, but players don't want it.

    That being said, 'different servers' are being worked on as we speak, i.e. Nalore, so it will be interesting to see how that goes, but for now OSRS servers are the 'safe bet'.
    Those graphs aren't really reliable to me due to the huge amounts of bots that are basically running Oldschool Runescape at the moment.
    Also I don't think you're right saying players don't want unique servers, but that's something you can discuss about for countless of hours since there is no objective reliable arguments for it at all.

    It is indeed a gamble, but if you love to do it and up for some risk I think it could definitaly be worth trying out.

    Having the choice to play your favourite version of runescape would seem more accurate.
    Even 1:1 emulations of runescape require a little something new to keep them interesting. Could be as simple as Tournament systems or Live Event Girls™

    But surely, if there was some huge movement from OSRS to RS3 as you claim, the graphs would actually support that, regardless of bots?
    You'd expect to see OSRS fall and RS3 increase, yet neither have changed, and they still rise/fall with each other and have remained largely the same despite this apparent mass migration from one to the other.

    Anyway, not sure what this has to do with OP

    Yeah, that's what I'm saying too haha maybe I worded it wrong.
    i'm not saying the servers that are live now aren't creative, I'm saying that we can do a lot better =]

    I probably couldn't make 5% of the models these servers have

    I also don't think it helps with these huge releases when servers have issues on launch, major ones even. Worst case scenerio a rollback or delay.
    For a OSRS/Rs3 Player trying a server for the first time after mabye hearing bad things about 'RSPS' his view on them will instantly be something negative.

    I hate that how ever since OSRS was released the private server community just became a race to who can implement the newest updates from the game first. The server would then have a bunch of players, become really popular for a bit then slowly die out, change ownership/alias and re-release again under a new name.
    We have tons of tools that could be used to create interesting and new content but they are put towards making Pokémon & Spongebob npc's or as far as new and interesting maps we have people just making donator zones and small edited Edgeville home locations. At this point I really don't see the point in playing half the servers out that just copy jagex's every update/move. I would rather just play the real game knowing that there is no potential for it to just disappear at any moments notice.
