2005scape/05x

Welcome to 05X.RS — Authentic 2005 RuneScape

05X.RS is a dedicated non-profit preservation project focused on faithfully recreating RuneScape as it existed in late 2005.

Built on a revision 349 base and set around December 19th, 2005 — with Devious Minds as the latest quest release — 05X.RS is designed to preserve one of the most iconic eras of RuneScape as accurately as possible.

Our goal is simple:
recreate the real 2005 experience — not a custom remake, not a modernized imitation, and not a pay-to-win server.

A True Preservation Project

05X.RS is not trying to reinvent 2005 RuneScape — it’s trying to preserve it.

This server exists for players who miss the atmosphere, pacing, challenge, and charm of the original game during one of its most beloved time periods.

We do not run this project as a profit-driven server, and we do not require donations to enjoy the Classic experience. This is a genuine passion project built for players who want to experience RuneScape as it was.

Experience 2005 Again

Whether you loved:

classic questing,
old Wilderness PvP,
original skilling progression,
or simply the feeling of RuneScape before everything changed —

05X.RS is built to bring that era back to life.

Create an account with or without Discord or additional security features — the choice is yours — and come experience this historic period of RuneScape again.

Join 05X.RS and relive 2005 as it was meant to be.
