Gosh i'm so excited for this XD

I like it

Is the Games tab going to be like Arcade games? If so, I remember playing a server that one had one of those. Great way to pass time while doing a skill :p.

It was actually a place holder for something, it is now currently gone.

The website looks awesome! Looking forward too this. ;D
-
I call for a big community event at castle wars when it is up and running.
-
Woah! I'm impressed on the work you guys have been doing so far.
-
Yay!
-
Gosh dammit the website looks so neat!

Yeah, considering I use the forums and website very frequently this is actually very exciting for me. I always thought our website looked so bland and boring, with the looks of this it looks like something I could just sit and stare at for hours lol.

It is beautiful, isn't it? I think I'm going to play this more.
-
I have missed Castle Wars.
-
looks good can't wait 8)
-
Lookin' good guys, keep the updates rolling in ;)

could you reupload the new website picture on a different site:?

This looks really good. I remember back in the day I played Castle Wars for like 1 year straight, but the problem with releasing it on this server is we simply do not have enough players. I have reason to believe you moderators (who I know are working hard) still are pushing that thought away saying you'll focus on it after V2 comes out. I'm very worried that no players will join, and we will lose what we have. If you think we have something, you've seen nothing yet, the only reason we're getting players is because 2006remade shut down.

Take in note we haven't even begun to seriously advertise yet. The day 2.0 comes our ads will be plastered on every damn site there is for runescape private servers lol.

Last year we had about 100+ players online, but it all ended the day 2007 runescape came in.

Something that really bothers me, I have used 2 other rs private servers. the first went down to a legal challenge from jagex (according to what I read about it), and the other was DDOS'd to non existence constantly. What is stop this server being wrecked in a similar way (I know you probably have things to deal with a DDOS attack, but you, no system is perfect)

Rant time
2006remade had like 10 players on average the past 3-4 weeks. That server also isn't made from scratch like RuneRebels. 06remade has the 2006scape source and from what I've read (I've only played that server since October), the server is closer to leached than it is original.
On top of that, the developers here paid a highly respected member to check for dupes which I highly doubt the developers over at 2006remade did because for one, on their donation page, it says something along the lines of "If we don't get the sufficient amount of donations, we won't be able to keep the server running" and two, their server has had to rollback a couple of times because of dupes. And speaking of rollbacks, I bet you didn't enjoy being rollbacked over 2 hours almost every day. RuneRebels has stayed on for months and months with minimal donations. RR has a strong DDOS protection, mainly because of Parabot who also hacked 2006remade's forum prior to Mod Pirate hacking it. Their developers seem to not have learned to get a better protection.
Their server AND Forums have also been hacked numerous times the past few weeks, the owner is highly criticised for picking dishonest developers (Check the Rune-server page for proof), and Tom thinking he is a God (I saw what Mod Pirate said when he hacked their forums 2 weeks ago).
Lastly, with the same amount of players online the past few days similar to when 2006remade came out, how many times has this server went down compared to theirs? Zero.

We already dealt with the DDOS situation because we are actually still to this day getting hit by a DDOS. We just have a very powerful anti-ddos now. When it comes to legal action 90% of the time Jagex doesn't follow through with claims against private servers. The reason why PRS06 went down was not entirely because they got a claim against them. They well knew that most of the time Jagex doesn't follow through with them. They went down because of many reasons that I will not say because I don't want to start some sort of flame war. If we get hit by a claim we will do our best to keep it up but if Jagex follows through with any sort of claim there is really nothing we can do. No server can prevent this and the only reason why the famous server Soulsplit is still standing is because they live in a country with no copyright laws.

No. Soulsplit has a contract with Runescape. They both have ads on each others websites, and are both friendly with each other.

Alright, I feel better now, thanks Austin.

Then allow me. I came from PRS06 and was a strong backer of that PS. They couldn't manage shit and the server died because of it.
You're welcome :D

Only credit PSR06 can get is their advertisement for players, but then again they also did false player counts like playercount = players + 300
