We have been working on this server for a while and we finally feel like it is time to release an alpha version of the server.
The Alpha will be whitelisted and only limited to a max amount of players, we are currently not taking any more alpha players.
So what is this server all about?
This server is a Runescape in Minecraft server, meaning we rebuild and remade the game called Runescape, but then in Minecraft.
If you do not know what runescape is, check it out here: www.runescape.com
We did not make the server exactly like the current version of Runescape but we picked an older version to rebuild, a 2005 - 2007 version of runescape with the old style and old builds and everything.
So enough about the other game and now more detailed about the server.
We offer a big world, the city's included currently are:
Lumbridge
Varrock
Draynor
Falador
Rimmington
Karamja
Barbarian Village
Al Kharid
Edgeville
Tutorial Island
In these city's or towns you can find NPC's to do quests for, you will find shops to buy better items and you will find ways to train yourself in the skills we offer.
(We are constantly working on expanding the server so when the alpha starts we might even already have more, but this is what we have currently)
Skills are things you can do in this server, they level up if you use them enough and at set levels they will unlock new items and things to do.
The skills we currently have are:
Attack
Defence
Ranged
Constitution (HP)
Mining
Woodcutting
Smithing
Crafting
Prayer
Thieving
Cooking
(More skills will come soon, but we first want to test these)
There will not only be PVE but there will also be an option to PVP, currently we are working on the Arena where you will be able to duel other players for fun but also possible to risk your items.
Besides the arena we will also have a place called The Wilderness, this is an area where you can freely pvp against anyone that is also inside that area, currently it is possible to go to that location but it is not been build or PVP yet.
Here are some screenshots (You do not see any NPC's on here because we are still working on adding those, but don't worry, they will be there soon)

As a last thing i would like to thank all the people that helped me create this server so far and that have been a great help to me even though some might not even have noticed it:
Why do you want to test?: I really love both Minecraft and Runescape, though I haven't played RS in ages it's an awesome game, and this seems like it would be a lot of fun helping out a server like this grow, and expand. I'm also free quite often, so you'd be able to expect to see me on testing the servers quests and features.
Would you be able to use Skype?: Yes
Are you aware this is an Alpha server so that a lot might be broken?: Yes I am
Do you know Runescape?: Yes i played for about 4 years and became pretty good.
Why do you want to test?: I have played other versions of this game on minecraft but they all seemed difficult to understand and i feel as though this one coul be different. I would love to watch this server grow and im sure that there would be a lot of people willing to join. I would love to see if there would be a wilderness PVP or similar, and if so to see how it works. I am very glad to see that you did a version from 2007 because lately in the past year i feel as though runescape went down because of graphics enhancing and map enhancing. I really hope you would let me test!
Would you be able to use Skype? (Not 100% needed but would be usefull) (If yes, PM me your skype name):
Are you aware this is an Alpha server so that a lot might be broken?: Yes and would not mind at all tying to perfect elements of the server.

Already added you on skype and you have already been in the server but you know.. to make it official
Do you know Runescape?: Yep, I have at least a hundred hours on both non-member and member accounts.
Why do you want to test?: I've tried a few Minescape/Runecraft servers in the past before, and they have all been disappointing. I'm hoping this server won't be like that. I can also help with plugin development if necessary.
Would you be able to use Skype?: (Not 100% needed but would be usefull) (If yes, PM me your skype name): Absolutely. PM me your name if I get accepted and I'll add you.

How ever, we are working on getting this server to Open Beta where we will remove the whitelist and everyone will be able to join.
Lots of things where fixed the past few days, a wiki was created, the website has been edited, working on the digsite has started and all skills are useable now (Not all items are in it yet but the items that are in it, those work).
Also most of the F2P quests will be added before Open Beta so we are working on that aswell.

With the help of the current alpha testers we have found quite a few bugs and fixed most of them.
Also the Cooking skill has been made so it can actually be used, that was a thing that was missing.
We are still looking for more alpha players ^-^
Almost all bugs in the quests are fixed now.
Thank you Moon_Face for going trough all of them.
Also smithing now works and the first few crafting items work.
Still looking for alpha players.
