We used to have high scores for about a year, Ryan one of the server's owners and operators took them down in January to re-do them. They have not been back up since.

I'm sorry, but looking at what Edub just said makes me laugh, I mean what type of influence is that on a new player "took them down in January to re-do them, They have not been back up since". I'm not digging at Edub's post, it's just sheer fact that it takes this long JUST to re-do highscores, why not just put the old ones back up I had no problem with them.

Well if you're genuinely interested, I'll tell you why.

Someone used the highscores page to "hack" us, using a vulnerability it had. They planted a file or something on to our VPS using the highscore page because it isn't coded to prevent attacks like that SQL Injection they did. Although they probably did get our database or not, they cannot do anything worthwhile with it because the passwords are Salted, so it's extremely hard for them to hack a single player.

Kevin's urgent post of the matter: http://www.runerebels.com/smf/index.php?topic=1367.msg7222

Now, why hasn't this been fixed or something?
Well, Ryan has been extremely busy with other stuff. Also fixing it, I'm sure, would be hard and time consuming since he has to recode the whole highscores page, make it function properly, and make it be extremely secure.

Hey Yucky Yak,
XP lamps are currently only obtainable from Genies after successfully completing the Genie Random Event.
Sincerely,

Thank you for all the encouragement! We will be proceeding full force on this project; not only just to utilize the power built into this source and engine, but to bring back the RuneScape that everyone knew and loved.

Well, I mean, I've seen stuff like this before and fail, however, I suppose this'll be at least get SOMEWHERE to an extent if not full. We'll see how it goes mate, good luck!

I can guarantee that this will go far.

Good luck with this development.

Also no fair Ry has been working on that core for what 5 years now.

Yup, I've put many years of my life into the technologies in this project, and now its time for them to finally shine!

Lets keep up the promise Ryan once made!
I love browsing old comments.

That's crazy, the Jennifer Laurence and Kaley photos are definitely real. I couldn't see the Ariana Grande photos.

I am also one of the people that fails to see substance in your posts. It doesn't matter how respected you are by a small proportion of players, all I ever see you post is to give up, or that RuneRebels "stole" WorldScape from you.

I've confronted you about this on numerous occasions and there's no point even bothering to go into it, but I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you are in serious captivity of your own negativity.

You pretty much just glossed over my post again but OK. Seriously some people here are pathologically obsessed with my negativity as if that matters. Do me a favor and google "ad hominem", cause it's exactly what you're doing buddy. Why not attack my arguments rather than my persona? Then your words might have some merit. You keep spewing more reductionist, overly optimistic pep talk bullshit, can't say I'm surprised.
