Revisions may be removed if it's determined it's not archived enough to use, or added if any new versions are found from your uploads.
Caches from your old PCs ONLY contain graphical assets, audio, maps, and the bare minimum configs that make up the game world.

We have to research and create everything else from scratch.
Every NPC spawn, every item spawn, every behavior, every bug, every quest, is carefully created by us.

1. Jagex lost the original game's data, with the exception of three known versions.
2. Jagex is rewriting ("polishing") any remaining history for their current products.
3. This is very likely the last time anyone other than Jagex has to see it through correctly.

It's open source because that's the only way to ensure the game's history lives beyond any one initiative.
It doesn't matter who does the work, just that it gets done and it's done right.
Come help if you're interested!
