And a reminder... make sure you get your legal stuff straight and fortified, suing is the last thing we want. (was thinking about scapegaming.com... was a wonderful WOW private server)
Private servers are fine, i think
Neehosoft, can i help you with the server, i am making one now but i realize i want a partner.
Maybe we can team on this p-server?

Higher the exp rate...
I think what he's striving for is a close replica to the old RS, keeping it as close as possible to the original game, while changing a few key features that most users would prefer.
While fast XP is nice, if there was a large well-maintained server that had taken the time and effort to add each of the original RS quests, along with the NPCs, no trade limit, the old wilderness, and the same XP as RS, I feel I and many other people who still prefer the real game to private servers would be willing to make the switch.
I think too many private servers strive to be *too* different from the original game.
Anyway, if you need any help with the server, drop me a PM and I'll give you my MSN. I've been out of the realms of Java and SCAR for a very long time, but I'm hoping to make a return. In the earlier days of private servers I took a barebones server that had :ickup etc and turned it into a fully functional server with several working skills, various monsters that could be trained on, a couple of quests, a working fatigue system (this was written long before many other servers started using this, and had an RSC like approach with a random sequence of letters in different colours that the player would have to type in to sleep), and even a summoning skill. (Kind of ironic, though my summoning skill bares no resemblance to the one Jagex has now added, and was used for summoning items rather than familiars)
I'm a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none. My knowledge of Java is lacking a little again due to being away from it for so long, but I learn fast so if you have any little tasks that you need help with, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do.
Also, best of luck with the server. Do you have the proper equipment to run a large-scale server or will you be limiting it to a smaller amount of users? I personally never released my server as I did not know anyone I could trust with the source, and the likelihood of getting more than 5 or 10 players playing simultaneously on my connection was very slim.
