Come on guys! This is getting ridiculous.
GabE (NOTE THE ‘E’, IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT): Just leave this thread alone if you want it dead. Don’t be so aggressive… >_>
I think the real problem here is the questionable legality of RS private servers. From what I can tell, a private server is legal to create, host, maintain, e.t.c, but there is no legal way to create a client to connect to them since that would require you to decompile/reverse engineer/hack the client to make it connect to the private server instead of Jagex’s server. However, although reverse engineering the network protocol can be done without a hacked client using a packet inspector, it’s impossible to actually test it with the real client. This is JavaGaming.org, so if it can’t be used for gaming it doesn’t really belong here.
