RS 718 Private Server · Public Beta AncientX The 2012 RuneScape you remember — revision 718 — with skills, quests and bosses, team raids in the Chambers of Xeric, a living Grand Exchange, and authentically crafted custom gear. Now in public beta: free to play, still being tested, and we want your bug reports.
The 2012 game, running smooth
Complete 2012 Content
Revision 718: all 25 skills including Dungeoneering and Summoning, the full quest line, and the boss roster the way it was in 2012 — Nex, the God Wars generals, Corp, the Kalphite Queen and more.
Raids: Chambers of Xeric
A raid that builds itself — two floors of combat, puzzle and scavenger rooms rolled fresh every run, from Tekton and Vasa Nistirio through the Vanguards and Lizardman Shamans, all the way to the Great Olm. Type ::raid in game, gear up at the entrance bank chest, and bring a friends chat: loot is shared across the whole group.
Authentically Crafted Customs
Hand-finished custom armour, weapons and cosmetics built to sit naturally alongside the originals — special attacks, stats and looks tuned so they feel like they always belonged in the game.
Living Grand Exchange
A real player market with live price graphs. Every trade sets the price — watch the charts like a stock ticker and buy the dip.
Fair Hiscores
Every level on the hiscores is earned. Staff accounts are excluded, so the top spots belong to players.
Protected Economy
Every trade and exchange is recorded, so dupes and account theft get caught and rolled back.
One Account, Everywhere
Your forum account is your game login. Register once here, then log straight into the client.
Store — coming after beta
The store is closed during the beta: nothing can be bought with real money while progress may still be wiped. You can preview the planned Squeal spin packs and donator packs — they open after beta.

What "beta" means
The game is playable but not finished. Many quests, areas and monsters have not been fully play-tested yet, and things will break. Progress may be wiped during the beta, and we plan a reset before the full release.
