Lol 2006scape

[komokazi]

Hello 2006Scapers, Mod Vault here.

I have some unfortunate news to bring you; this is the end of 2006Scape. After a year of development, we are shutting down 2006Scape because of copyright infringement. The reason as to why I wasn't able to update you for the past month was because of the legal discussions I’ve been involved in. This will be my last message to you.

Following extensive legal advice, I have made the decision to permanently close 2006Scape simply because I don't want to ruin my life and that of every other individual involved. I hope you understand and respect that decision.

What once started as a 2007 RuneScape remake made way back on April 10, 2011, 2006Scape has progressed to be one of the largest RuneScape private servers ever made.

I wanted to thank each and every one of you. Without you we wouldn't have gotten anywhere. It's funny to think that a year and a half ago it was just me working on this project, and to see it all come together, all the while being supported by so many people, brings a tear to my eye.

You have proven to be one of the greatest and friendliest communities to be a part of, I can't thank you all enough for being such an amazing group of people. Thank you for everything. Really, thank you. Your support has been unheard of, and I'm sincerely going to miss visiting the forums and talking with you all.

I also wanted to thank everyone who has ever been a part of the 2006Scape team. Whether you were an administrator or a moderator, I hope you all realize how I appreciate everything you have ever done for this project and also that this decision is being made to protect you as well.

It pains me to say that this really is the end. If there's one thing you should know and keep to heart, it's this:

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
- Dr. Seuss

Thank you for everything.

Wow, think about all the people screwed after donating to them. Typical. i knew it was too good to be true.

 

[Alex_J_Leon]

This would probably be better in RS General even though it's not RS but a private server.

I think a lot of people saw it coming... everyone on (the site that hacked them three times in a row) saw it coming as well.

That's funny though, bahahhaha. It feels good.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

Funny too how he boasted about the community..it was one of the least intelligent communities I've ever seen.

Even more so than 2012 RS..and that's saying something.

We got a chance to see them on tinychat when we redirected their site to tinychat...

There were a lot of weirdos and surprisingly one ugly fat chick who showed boobs and another "ehhhhhh" chick.

But.. they were... seriously weirddddd.

 

[komokazi]

I warned people so many times lol
even from the leaked source it didn't look like the source was really taken seriously.. idk about what the latest state of it was but the one i saw was just an azure rip

What about the money that people donated? He said nothing about that.

probably pocketed it.


I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was a fancy sham...Seemed WAY WAY WAY too good to be true.

 

[slysteeler]

Too many people were obviously desperate to relive the old days. I admit that I was happy when I first heard about the project, but I soon realised that it wouldn't have been the same as the good old days.

 

[Laptop65]

lol, not even suprised. I guess that J-Mod was right a few months back when he said that RS2006 wasn't going to last. I wonder how much was donated to the project altogether.

 

[komokazi]

thanks for moving to the right section
and i certainly didn't get my dollar or whatever it was back.. vault just pocketed it

 

[bloodymager]

Yah, I figured this would happen from the start of the project. It's sad that it did happen though.

I've heard that there was $50K+ donated too.

 

[Threag]

This sucks, but it wouldn't be the same anyway.

 

[cuda_boi]

Such a shame, had hopes for this as did many others. Could of very well all been a donation scam, not a bad idea either lol.

 

[sonic_fanrs]

Relevant picture:

Can't say I'm surprised all this happened, tho.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

The arrogance from Jagex just oozing out of that picture ^^^

 

[mustard2]

I don't know how much they made from this, but I donated for about 50 people in total (including myself). Ah well.

This sucks big time, I was really looking forward to it. I had to do some research though and I heard from a few people that 2006Scape got hacked and the person put up the message just to mess with everyone. But I just looked at the e-mail and it seems legit so I don't know.

Yea me to. I kept checking that site every now and then, when I first heard about it , but it was in development for too long aswell.


Fkin jagex meh <.< first completely shutting down nexus/rsbots.net(Really miss that community) and now rs2006.

Heh that's funny because 06Scape was never released, so it technically didn't happen for most people.
