Everyone has there own lives outside of runerebels. The devs clearly work on this when they have free time or not much else going on. This is a 3 year+ project in the making so of course there's going to be periods where work is being done and periods where work isn't being done, that's just how things are. As I full time college student with a part time job and a full time job when I am off school I understand. I struggle to make time for runerebels as well. Between exams, hw, my girlfriend and other things it's hard to find time to play honestly. If they don't to work on the server right now that's there decision and while some may not like it, I can at least respect it because I am the same way with being busy with things. If runerebels has proved one thing it is that it will be around for a long time.

No, they don't work on this when they got spare time. Like they have said in this thread alone several times, it is on the back burner as they are working on a completely different project that isn't related to RR at all. And i can respect it too, my point is there is no effort given to work on it themselves, or find someone that can in the mean time.

It really isn't as easy as editing a .txt file. SQL, even with the proper setup which makes editing SQL easier, is still tedious to edit.

The project will hopefully be revived. And no, their new project is not another server, in fact its something much more than that. I do know, but am not allowed to tell you all. It should help with funding RuneRebels and AGF in general.

Editing a sql database is easy actually... if you know how to write a querry lol.
And yea, hopefully it will be.

Not to be an ass kiss but when they did update things, most of the community whined at the bugs or the incompleteness.

But like Riipiin said, Ryan is the only one who can make the majority of changes regardless of how simple they may seem, and Ryan has an awful case of saying he will do things then disappearing. This has proved frustrating (and has been the result of multiple staff resignations) to us all. If you dig through the forums you will see this for yourself, but

3. It's more the lack of development/time put into the server at the moment that is the issue.

you seem to know that already.

No matter what is done, there will always be people who don't like changes/updates made. That is a part of running any sort of service.
And if Ryan can't handle that he should of never started a server. Which brings me to my point, if he wanted to revive this "project" he could of done so ages ago but because he hasn't the community is dead.
And promises of it being revived just come across with no meaning because of the lack of attention the server has gotten.

The first thing I got told when I started here was "There hasn't been an update in 2 years" which, true or not, is sad that a player would feel the need to mention that to a new player.

I think most of you believe I am "having a go" at the server/owners. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I love the idea this server holds, I'm just saying it needs more work and I don't believe it really will get revived to much of a point when the owners themselves, like you said Slangin, say they will fix/revive it but then are nowhere to be seen.

My point is, this server could go a LONG WAY and easily have a huge flow of players once the main things are fixed OR a temp compromise is made. Why do I think that? Well, firstly don't have to pay for members so there is a lot more you can do without having to spend money. Second, leveling is obviously quicker then osrs but not so fast that its too quick/easy to get maxed.

Yes, unfortunately we have other projects going on and are not currently looking for developers. When it comes to implementing items without quests, we've researched and polled it before, and it's always turned out the same.

So, you prefer to leave items UN-obtainable or UN-useable until you get the relevant quests/bosses working, while you are working on an entirely different project...

Would of hoped you would want to revive the rebels server, but alas no avail.

So, what you are wanting is for us to just spawn everyone whips, dragon weapons, and the like? Because really with the way the plugins are laid out, that'd be the only way to release them without programming the rest of the NPCs, bosses, and quests. Even then, they wouldn't be weildable. I'm not saying that RR won't be revived sometime in the future, but with all of us working on other things on top of balancing life, it's on the back burner for now.

When it comes to the other project I can't give specifics. I can say though that it is not an RSPS.

What? hahaha. Where did I say spawn the items??
Changing drops of a monster, and making the drop rate low. Isn't hard. There are .exe tools that can do it for you....
At least for just a band-aid fix until you guys start working on the server again. 
There are a lot of items that don't need quests to be completed to actually wear. Only need quest to get, or a boss. (I'm sure u know which ones need, and which ones that don't need quests to actually wear.)

"Putting drops onto another monster would make it too easy for players to get it."
Not if you either, take a monster that has very few numbers like imps and make the drop rate very low. Barely get to kill the monster, and low drop rate. Or put it onto a monster that you can't kill at all early like a slayer monster.
There are a lot of different ways you can do it.

Not entirely. You still have to pay for members for osrs.
The more pressing issues need to be fixed, tweaked and then the word put out there, and I'm sure people would come back easily.

Quests and other stuff can be slowly introduced.

I'd help them do it, not that I know a lot about dev'ing a rs server but cant be too hard to do the smaller things.

This is a strict remake of 2006 runescape. This question has been here before and the answer will be the same: No.

So having gear un-usable because of quests is how jagex had it in 06?
How the hell does making certain stuff usable/attainable stop this from being a 06 remake?
The items in question were usable and attainable in 06........ 

I'm not asking to add all the newer items or places or anything.
I don't see how what I suggested makes it so far from a  "strict 06 remake"
And if it was a "strict" 06 remake. Then why can't we do the quest for rune pl8? etc etc.   I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I'm just being realistic.... sorry if being realistic makes you so uptight/angry or whatever. But its a suggestion and a simple observation of a newcomer to the server so I believe my opinion is a reliable source as to what other newcomers might see/think.
