    Also on the question of security, you will not be providing your own client for each server listed on this launcher but instead will be redirecting users to download clients provided by the servers themselves, so when you say once you are done with the server you will have to delete files and worry about no virus's, it will be the exact same thing here. You mention virus protection but it just seems like a bunch of malarky as you'll use virustotal api or smthn. Stuff still slips through the cracks. A lot of people have had this idea in the past, even myself but it never made sense in my head to go through with it.
    Just seems like another marketing ploy to funnel some money in through another toplist as you mentioned, featured spots will be sold and im sure they will be individual to your website toplist.
    Live player count? not sure how you'll do that unless you're running a headless client on each server or ask the servers to indidually provide some sort of url that lists their total playercount.
    Checking for updates every 5 minutes, are you sure there's not a better way to do that?
    I feel like you haven't thought this through very well.
    There's a lot of reasons to create a project like this one. I'm going to go over them all down below.

    First of all, it is much more convenient to just use one platform to get access to the majority of games. That is also the reason why other platforms such as Steam, Epic Games Store, etc. are very popular. Sure you can visit the website of that direct game, but you can also just do it all through the launcher. Keep in mind that we aren't trying to stop people from using websites, or use toplists to find the RSPS they want. We are just offering an alternative. On top of that, we are also planning on adding e.g. a login system, social features, and a leveling system. This means that like other systems such as Playstation, Xbox, Steam, etc. players will be able to compete against each other to see e.g. who has played most RSPS, who has gotten the highest total levels across all rsps's, etc.

    Secondly, we are already at a stable point when it comes to fundings. The only reason we would be offering feature spots on the launcher is that it grants additional traction to other communities. Be aware that if we were to do everything for free, we would be down in debt really quickly. You can really say the same thing for anything. Why is Rune-Server taking charge of Affiliate rank? Why do you have to pay for Youtube Premium, Netflix or Spotify, etc?

    Finally, a server that’s added to the launcher will be screened for viruses. If there’s something wrong the file will get deleted and a warning will be sent to the staff. If a server updates their client the same steps will occur. We will also be checking servers manually from time to time. Only authorized staff members can add servers, so we control which servers are accepted and which are not. With that being said, we are trying to keep the quality as high as possible.

    We are open to any type of feedback. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts that can improve our launcher, feel free to share them. However, e don't have an endless amount of knowledge or money. If we would be able to create a Fort Knox, we would do so. Sadly, that is not the case.

    For sure! We have actually been discussing this project for a very long time, and some of the points he has brought up have crossed our minds once or twice. If we manage to come to a solution, we will make sure to share it with the rest of the community as an update!

    good luck with this, reminds me of my project I did back in 2012 - stopped because of the potential of malicious servers out there, due to mine working off scraping rune-server, runelocus & top100arena.

    Very cool idea. I agree with others that malware could be a potential issue, but as long as there is a thorough process for checking submissions for malware, I think it has really good potential.

    Thanks! We are going to do our very best to keep it as malware-free as possible!

    Def a good upgrade to all RSPS which includes capitalism. I totally agree that we can make it have multiple servers listed as rows with their banners, and with one click it would download the client and launch it automatically.
    This will allow players to play multiple servers at the same time.

    I would start off by only allowing servers to join those with at least 150 average players online or more, and you list them based on their player count.
    I would make it so it's mandatory to make the official and ONLY client download link to the launcher, otherwise, if they caught cheating they will get banned and removed.

    I will join once its all done and some images are released! Good job on it once again!


    Even Hugo calls me boss.

    Some very kind words. The initial aim is to get popular servers to join, e.g. Alora, Velheim, etc. instead of searching for servers as zilliziumPKzZZ317/NEED STAFF*new rsps!*!. Less risk for drama and problems and players are generally more inclined to play servers that have been around for a while and have built up a good reputation. We are also aware that there is a community built around the use of macroing/third-party software, and we will not allow them to be used in any shape or form with our launcher. Getting a 99 without doing anything is already bad, and getting achievements or any type of progress on your RuneList account is... Well a little too much

    Let us just say that we are very excited! We truly believe that we can bring a lot of people together through this project!
