They then began telling everyone that the server had many players still, however since the entire world map nearly, had been used for content, players were all spread out and not in commonly used places by "noobs", such as lumbridge, varrock etc, when they asked where everyone was at.

None of my previous post is a lie, it is simply the truth.

I wasn't asked to provide my username, therefore I did not provide it. As @Nighel has stated, I am, indeed, still on the first page of the hiscores, and probably will be for the rest of Scaperune's inactive history. lol


The player count is currently "8". That's probably 2-3 players, and their alts. "You can't play multiple accounts at once" <-- You can, as I used to play 3 accounts at once when I played ScapeRune, simply by using a virtual machine, or a vps, or modifying the client to allow multiple accounts per device.

If all that helps you justify your personal vendetta against the server, then go ahead and believe it. I for one have a lot of fun playing and the small community doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Players really are spread out all across the game world though, since all of it is used for content.

Let me know if you find a copy of MoparScape 3.2, I'd love to load it up and hear that intro music again.

I believe the truth, pfft.

I never said players cannot have fun playing a server that lacks a large playerbase, I simply stated that it was dead, as in not really anyone to interact with, meaning you are required to ironman a large amount of your resources/mats and so on.

I understand players can be spread out, but as I previously said, that is what the staff had begun telling everyone when there was about 4-5 players online average a week or two after the official public release. I didn't say that players weren't spread out, but they tried to misguide people into believing that many more were online playing than there actually were.


The song from Moparscape's client log-in page was the Doom theme song. Just youtube it. "

Since you asked, I took this about a week and a half ago. Nobody is lying when they say the player count peaks at 20 on weekends. Such numbers are a recent achievement, so only players who are currently active are able to see them.



I don't want to YouTube the song, I want the actual client, same as you do.

Did you just crop that image, or did you gyazo the screenshot and save a copy to your harddrive? As that was uploaded to imgur 3 minutes ago.

Post the original.

That is the original. I created and saved the image two weeks ago. I did not crop it, I used a selection tool (not Gyazo, it's shit).

I use [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to create and share images. They are copied to my clipboard so that I can post them in the Discord. Simultaneously, a copy is saved to my ~/Pictures directory for later use.

I am not sure what you mean by "post the original."

More new quests and content soon to come, check us out!

Nobody pretended to be a girl. lol

Prove someone who lies (you) wrong, and you resort to immature/irrelevant banter as if to justify the truth spoken by me about the server.

ScapeRune is dead and always will be. Share a screenshot of 20+ players online within the last 30 days.

We never had any commands for players, or player moderators to use. It's midnight on a weekday and we currently have 6 players online. On the weekends we do peak around ~20 players. During our Halloween event we had ~30 online.

Also, you were banned and just so happened to quit during the time of the ban. Banned players are supposed to be removed from the Hiscores, something which I've yet to add support for as I've been busy with other stuff.

Now, all of you please shut the fuck up and stop bickering about the god damn player count. If you want to see what the count is you can either A: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], or B: Load the client and open the world selection. The SQL connection in the worldserver does time out sometimes, so the numbers may get "stuck" until it's restarted. If you feel if that has happened, just contact me in the discord and I'll happily get you the real-time number. The SQL connection timing out is an issue I've known about for some time and I plan to fix it soon.

Wrong, you were banned on your accounts for multi-logging and advertising another server to our players that was malicious.

Hence why there is no :layer command ingame, and the website says a "currently registered player" count, rather than a player online count, or players active within the last 30 days.

Wrong, the worldlist does show a player count JUST like it did back in real 2007. What a concept for a vanilla server, am I right?

Wrong, not even our player moderators have commands. Once again, what a concept for a vanilla server, am I right?

Cool story, you managed to no life harder than anyone else and still somehow managed to get yourself banned. Do you want a cookie?

How convenient, thanks for the clarification on why you were banned. At least you said it before I did so that you can't take it back and change the story now.

I'd tell you to stop by some weekend and see it yourself, but after your accounts got banned I deleted them all to save 5kb. Whoops .
