I’m looking for a seasoned RSPS developer, preferably with prior experience in building and maintaining servers that mirror the 2007 Old School RuneScape experience. The role involves creating a fully functioning, PvP-only private server as well as providing continuous updates on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. Key Features Needed: - Authentic tick timing, switching, special-attack formulas, prayers, and wilderness mechanics to replicate OSRS. - Server must feel like OSRS the moment players log in. - You can base the project on an open-source 317/OSRS framework or start fresh in Java—code should be clean, well-documented, and version-controlled in Git. - Focus on core combat loop and overall stability; modular systems for future additions (e.g., leaderboards or seasonal tournaments). Deliverables: 1. Complete server and client source emulating the 2007 OSRS PvP combat system. 2. Guidance/scripts to deploy everything on my Linux VPS (Java 8+, MySQL, Netty/NIO). 3. A setup guide covering configurations like rates, drop tables, and wilderness zones. Acceptance Criteria: - Players can create accounts, equip gear, enter wilderness zones, and engage in combat with OSRS-like mechanics (attack delays, prayer interactions, and special attacks). This is a long-term project. Developers will need to provide constant updates every other week/month. If this sounds like your wheelhouse and you’ve worked on similar projects before, let’s discuss your approach along with estimated timelines.

Hi, Allen from Fort Worth here! I would recommend starting from a reputable open-source 317/OSRS-style framework only after reviewing its license and code quality, then refactoring the core combat loop for stability, maintainability, and Git-based version control. I would avoid proprietary assets or official client/cache material unless you have clear permission, and focus on building a legally safer custom PvP experience that captures the feel players expect. The first milestone would cover account creation, login, equipment, inventory, wilderness zones, PvP combat, attack delays, prayer effects, special attacks, food/potion timing, basic commands/admin tools, MySQL persistence, and Linux VPS deployment scripts. Future modules could include leaderboards, tournaments, seasonal ladders, anti-cheat checks, economy controls, and content updates every two weeks or monthly. Deliverables would include server/client source code, setup scripts for Java 8+, MySQL, and Netty/NIO, configuration documentation for rates, zones, drops, gear, and combat values, and deployment guidance for your VPS. I’m happy to discuss the final budget and timeline in more detail once I review your exact requirements, preferred framework, hosting setup, and compliance expectations. Looking forward to working together! Best regards, Allen

Hi. I work with Java-based game servers and custom backend systems where stability, performance, and long-term maintainability are critical. I noticed your priority is authentic PvP mechanics rather than content volume, which means combat timing, special attacks, prayers, and wilderness behavior need to be accurate from the start. I'd build on a proven OSRS-compatible foundation and keep the code modular, so future additions like tournaments, rankings, and seasonal events can be added cleanly. You'll also receive deployment and configuration documentation for your VPS. Which base source are you planning to use, if any? Will this be a pure PvP server or include limited economy features later? Best Regards. Sara

Hi, We are available to take this on and get your PvP-only private server working perfectly. The main issue with building an OSRS-style combat loop is usually the tick timing precision and ensuring the special-attack formulas align perfectly with 2007 mechanics. Are you planning to use a specific 317 framework as the base for better stability, and do you want the combat logs and leaderboards to be modular for easy future integration? We recently built a similar high-performance environment that required precise logic execution and stable networking. We used Java and Netty to hook into the core game loop and built a modular system that allowed for easy updates to combat formulas. We corrected the architectural structure to ensure that tick timing remained consistent across both the server and client. Our fix stopped desync issues and made the overall PvP experience smooth and responsive. We are eager to discuss the project further. Reach out to initiate a conversation!
