Arg...I think it was a component of ibot. It was a bunch of actions and tiles, a web. It was basically a bot. I've been out of the whole cheating scene for well over a year now, so I can't remember very clearly.
Aryan was a bot for runescape made by RegeX. It was the first minimizable bot and was coded in Java. It's been dead for a long time now, and will never come back because it was a de-obbs bot and those are highly detectable now.
Yeah, I remember seeing that haha. I didn't know which were which though. I suppose the default character look was involved? Seemed strange that they all had the same style.
imo, Aryan wasn't any more primative then the bots used today. Far more detectable (by today's standards), but not primitive.
Not too sure what you mean by after color bots, because there are still fully-functioning color bots today, but, it was the first minimizable Java bot that didn't use color.
You often hear bots calling themselves "Aryan 2" (iBot), or "the best bot since Aryan" (rsbot), but imo, all these claims are complete nonsense. Aryan changed cheating forever, whereas rsbot did not change cheating at all (there were bcel bots before it and there will be bcel bots after it), and the same can be said of neXus.
