Happy to answer any questions! I think one of the most interesting elements here is the way that the grounding a game environment allows agents to ratchet their engineering progress and run more autonomously than you might be able to for normal engineering tasks.
I’ve never played RuneScape before but this was very cool, it wrote lots of scripts as it went and eventually finished a quest to gain the ability to make runes
Back before ClusterFlutter (which was just a lot of Java object type-casting, large multi-dimentional arrays, and overflow math) botting was pretty easy to write yourself with very little JVM knowledge.
Bans were (and still are) pretty hard to come by as long as you pay for a membership.
Amazing. Would be cool to see agents end up trading at varrock bank like during the old days. Sort of a facebook/moltbook equivalent - wonder how genuine it would feel
Glad to see more projects building on top of Lost City. This looks super fun and I can't wait to try it out. Writing RuneScape bots was how I first learned programming, and I think it's one of the most interesting ways to interact with the game.
I've always imagined my last few days on earth as being in a nursing home playing Runescape Classic (2001-2003 runescape) with just me and a bunch of bots, recreating the glory days.
It is not said very explicitly in the description.
Is this for use on the real RuneScape game servers or does it run a dummy game server and run bots on that one?
If Jagex would release a server of RS (ideally 3, but 2 is fine) where you could control your character with an agent like this... I would probably play it all day, every day, in parallel with whatever else I was doing.

was working on an openclaw bots only game called arenaclaw this weekend, runescape auto battler fighting game spin-off.
