I believe something similar to RS gold this should be the final thing if OSRS close Jagex does. They would need to employ some AI for Minigames such as B.A, and AI Pkers for the wilderness, along with a lively Grand Exchange. I would pay AAA game price. 100%. Hell, it might be kinda fun also have Steam achievements with it and just to have it. I delivered Ash a hyperlink to this article to get his opinion on it and I will place his response here if/when he answers, simply to satisfy curiosity. Absolutely, I think we can all agree that this is a must to perform if OSRS'expires'. (Let's hope it never comes to that).But if it will, I am with you and would gladly pay to an offline version so it will permanently become immortalised.

The server"program" would have to be released in the offline format for this to be possible, allowing individuals to reverse engineer it and server perfrect recreations of their official game as personal servers. It makes it easier for people to find exploits that translate to the online game. There are a whole lot of network-related features heavily embedded in to RuneScape, either jagex would need to spend a bunch of time stripping those or you're operating all that shit and a SQL server on your regional machine. Games that are offline are far more difficult to indulge with subscriptions/MTX. Then there is the fact it could be pirated later or sooner. I am not trying to shit all over your dream but it's not really feasible in any way, sorry.

U would not ever have to train a skill again because content wouldn't be locked if you can no clip / etc.. If u can use modded scripts and such I am 100% certain you'd have 99 in every stat as a mad without any work. The point do RuneScape for individuals is such to other players and to show off accomplishments so once you take out gamers why do you want to go through stats and all the quests? Would perhaps take more people we can get. Minus bitters and scammers. I spent half in for dragon slayer two between school/work/life and a year, a ton of other quests the pre reqs, hours of vorkath and zulrah praying for RuneScape gold buy drops and that I actually enjoyed it.
