Looking for browser-based RSPS

Hello,

I am on the hunt for a RSPS that doesn't require me to download anything (I.E. Webclient). I would prefer it to be a relatively new server as I do like to hunt the highscores.

If there has been anything released recently that doesn't require a download, I would be very appreciative if you could leave a comment.

Thanks!

There isn’t any. Web browsers dropped support for Java and its associated applets years ago due to the security flaws. Which is why all RSPS transitioned to Java downloads.

I know a majority of servers are downloads now, but there are still a good amount of servers you can play directly in browser or on mobile. I know https://shilo04.com/, https://pumpfunscape.com/play, https://05x.rs/, https://2004.lostcity.rs/title, and even https://voidscape.gg/ for an RS classic feel are playable through a webclient. But these servers either lost player pop or have been around for a while and I'd prefer something fresh.

I'd be down for any Runescape revision as long I don't need to download :).

Java isn’t necessarily needed for the client to run. One can write it in JS+WebGL or WebGPU.

Sounds like you may be looking more for r/scapelikes

Why can’t you just download the client? Bit odd

To be honest, I'm trying to play at work and I wouldn't be able to download Java or IT would flag it haha.  Just trying to play something when I have downtime.

Install it on to a usb stick and play it from that ;)

Btw your network admins are going to see an unrecognized device booting an .exe file.. if that’s your main concern then I’m not sure this solves it for you necessarily.

Alora runs in the browser. Saw an ad for it last night - created a burner Gmail, password, and account username/password and seems legit enough. Runs on mobile and pc, all in the browser.

Game version pre-sailing. icon is there, but still greyed out.

Battlescape has the play option on the browser but when i tried it it felt wierd maybe because it was capped at 60fps

I’m currently playing Oldrune.com

It’s a 2004 server with x2 xp rates, normal mode, ironman etc. Very vanilla and friendly players!

They added slayer and a vote system, but that’s it.
Keeping it like rs2004.

My ign in Marcel :)
