What Counts as an OSRS Server Here
Two families qualify:
- OSRS-native servers running modern Old School data directly (Alora, RedemptionRSPS, Luxio).
- OSRS-data 317s: servers on the classic 317 protocol that load OSRS items, NPCs and maps (Roat Pkz, RXPS, PKHonor). You get modern content on the most battle-tested engine in the scene. If the revision itself interests you, the 317 RSPS directory page tracks that family live.
Both deliver the OSRS experience; the difference is under the hood.

Key Features:
- Version: 317 with OSRS content
- Online Players: 1,371 peak (24h)
- Active Community: 11,749 Discord members

If you want authentic OSRS rates and grind → BattleScape.
If you want raids on your phone → Alora, RedemptionRSPS or BoomScape.
Common OSRS RSPS Questions
Do I need my RuneScape account? No. Every private server runs its own accounts. Never enter your official Jagex credentials anywhere outside runescape.com.
Do these servers wipe? Established servers on this list (Alora, Roat Pkz, RXPS, PKHonor) have run for years without wipes. Fresh servers and seasonal modes wipe by design; each listing's reviews tell the story.
What about RuneLite? Alora, BattleScape, BoomScape and Sarim support RuneLite-style clients. Check each server's site for its client options.
Ironman modes? Alora, RedemptionRSPS, BattleScape and PKHonor all run Ironman (several offer Group Ironman).

Frequently Asked Questions
An OSRS private server (RSPS) is a community-run RuneScape server loaded with Old School RuneScape data: OSRS items, NPCs, maps and bosses. Some run modern OSRS-native engines, others keep the classic 317 protocol and load OSRS content on top of it. Your official RuneScape account is never involved; each server has its own accounts, its own economy and usually its own launcher or browser client.
