Yeah, let me just buy some premade food in a plastic container that causes cancer, Bruh talk about a failed sponsor. You realize heating things in plastic containers allows TPI and BPA to seep into the food. Which causes cancer. But as long as you get paid right? Would you eat or drink out of an asbestos cup? I didn't think so same thing with plastic. It's horrible for you.

I am just starting out like you did in the past, been writing runescape scripts for a year now and have 2050 total all done via my code. Not sure if I will stop once maxed but all I need to figure out now is slayer which is very hard for me to code. I am not sure if I will go on to work with code as a career but I'll definitely keep leaning these skills to have under my belt.

programming bots for games is one of the most rewarding and exciting ways to learn programming tbh... what a great way to learn.

[@wvguy7238]

Bots amaze and interest me. But I'd love to learn how people decrypt the code mainly, but also then figure out what to inject into the client. I have a phone game, ffbe, that has a bot. API based game. I'd love to just know how the guy decrypted what was sent to the server. Capturing the traffic is probably easy enough with Wireshark or something, but I could be wrong with what they use to do that as well. We use Wireshark commonly to capture network traffic in my line of work, but I only got a year or 2 programming experience.

[@Derekzparty]

It could have been rolled back from dvd or other backups if it needed to be. The issue with rolling back the server would be that it would have set a precedent that the servers could be rolled back at any point in time due to severe bot exploits which rightfully may have causing players to lose confidence in their progress being saved. Botting, as the video demonstrated, was rampant meaning that players would have been on edge of a rollback occurring in the future whenever any new cheat/hack was discovered. Losing confidence in your progress being saved in an MMO would be very unsettling for a player.

I was the original creator of RuneBot. I created it by decompiling the Runescape client which was in Java, and made modifications to the actual client to allow recording of macros and various other tricks such as casting spells rapidly. Runebot was free at first, but I was harvesting user name and passwords into a database, which I eventually sold to another player for a thousand dollars. I used this money to buy my first truck. I then decided to make Runebot cost 5 dollars, and the day after enabling the paywall was the day Jagex banned everyone using bots. I then left the Runescape scene and never looked back, until this video popped up in my recommended feed.

I use to bot quite a bit when i found it. Usually when I went to school. Those accounts were always banned, but i never used my OG accounts and never even transfered my cash. It was just for fun, watching the levels go up. Give away the money or I just gave them all the logs/ores/fish. Ended up creating a Yanille Iron Ore script. Allowed Powermining or Banked. This was when bots were becoming a bit better. Changing the route and having your mouse click different areas and not the same pixel. The RSbot script became a bit popular amongst the botting community. It was fun for a bit, but I was only using it for the mining skill. I dont really care about botters in general anymore nor do i bot. I only come back to do the new quests in OSRS. The only playing i do now.

My brother in christ. I have never once in my life played Runescape, and I never plan to. But, I am enamored by your vids. If you can pull people like me in, you're doing something right. Keep. Fucking. Going. at this. You've got a future. You may consider stretching outside just RS. You honestly have the perfect voice and editing style for this informative type of content outside of RS, or even gaming in general. Something to consider for your future. In the meantime tho, I am very much enjoying learning the history of RS from the players perspective through your stories. I love the world of gaming and these types of stories it makes, and you're pretty damn good at presenting them. I look forward to your future work. :)

If only they invented a teleport system in the game that could take you to specific spots to increase in-game exploration without taking runes. You could even keep the old teleport spell to make it instant and keep an edge, if so you would wish. Perhaps they could even add l o d e s t o n e s as anchors for these locations. That would be neat.

Regarding the item duplication glitch, every story is always that someone has the chance to get away with something but either can't keep it to themselves or can't stop doing it until they get caught. But I guess the people who do get away with it because they were responsible, we just don't hear about.

Ah man i remember the community train system ♥Back in old f2p when rs2 first started(this is when i first started playing), people did this a lot for folks since Lumbridge was flooded with new players all the time. Old times man...

RuneScapes economy is my favorite part of the game.

I am blown away by how you learn this information and present it. Fantastic vids man. Love these. And I’m not even a current player right now. 😂

22:26 HAHAHAHAHA oh my god....that was just the sweetest cherry on top! The greed lol.

[@Eladnav1]

the persons who appear to have the biggest ego, most often have none, it just looks like vast sky, but when you investigate you´ll see nothing at all. Stating one is different from others is just honesty and knowing oneself. Both rare talents.

Nah that's cope.
