Is it advertising or is that on the 10 year anniversary in 2025

It's been nearly 6 years since development was started though...
Do you actually have an idea of when you want it to be considered ready to advertise? Genuinely curious and I'm not meaning to be rude, but sometimes time slips away without realisation and it seems that it has done so here.

If I wasn't interested I wouldn't feel the need to even bother replying to this thread as it wouldn't be worth my time. I did actually put countless days into the game but won't be revealing my username here.
And I'm not trying to put you down, I just feel like you need to realise that not having time goals in place and just saying "it'll be ready when it's ready" is not a realistic approach to develop or manage a server.

If you believe that the game is so ready to be advertised then donate the funding and we will. Until then, we will be holding on to our own money until we believe that it is ready.

I'm definitely not trying to tell you how you should be developing your server but when you say the "entire game", from a player's perspective, don't bother with content that maybe 1% of players will ever use. It is not a valid use of your time nor will it help with the timescale of this project. You're also fairly lucky in regards to the fact that the era of game you're emulating doesn't have a vast amount of bosses or big pieces of content with lots of niche mechanics compared with OSRS.
Regardless, hoping you can eventually get to a stage where you can consider it 'ready'. As niche as this is, it would be a shame to not see it with a good dozen players online.
