Looking for an RSPS? This page lists 91 RuneScape private servers in 2026, from OSRS private servers built on recent Old School revisions to classic 317 bases, 667 and 718 builds that recreate the game as it looked in the early 2010s, and fully custom projects. In the RSPS scene the revision number says a lot before you read anything else: a 317 server usually means the mid-2000s interface with custom content stacked on top, while an OSRS private server aims at the Old School client, and some ship a client based on RuneLite. Use the version filter to keep only the revisions you care about, then compare the listed XP rates and community reviews side by side. Open any listing to read the operator's description, visit its website and Discord, and see its observed Discord activity. Keep two things in mind while you compare. Discord numbers describe the size and activity of a server's community, not how many people are logged in to the game right now. And Featured or Supreme listings are paid placements that can appear above the rest. RSPS are run independently by their communities and have no connection to Jagex, so read each server's rules, donation store and client download instructions before you make an account.

OSRS private servers

If you want something that plays like Old School RuneScape, pick the OSRS version in the filter. These servers run on recent Old School revisions rather than the older 317 base, so the interface, skills and many bosses feel familiar to anyone who plays OSRS today. They still differ a lot from each other: some stay close to the official experience with modest XP rates, others are economy, PvP or spawn servers with very fast progression. Read each listing's description and reviews to see which kind it is, and check the operator's website for the client download and rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an RSPS?▾

RSPS stands for RuneScape private server: a fan-run game server that recreates RuneScape on its own hardware, with its own accounts, rules and economy. Most are built on a specific client revision, such as 317, 667, 718 or a recent Old School build, and many add custom content, faster XP rates or game modes the official game does not have. Each one is independent, so progress never carries between servers.

What is the difference between an OSRS private server and a 317 RSPS?▾

An OSRS private server targets the Old School RuneScape client and tries to feel close to it, often with recent content and familiar interface details. A 317 server runs on a much older revision from the mid-2000s and is usually the base for heavily customised projects, because its code is well understood in the scene. The version filter on this page separates the two, so you can compare like with like.

Is it legal and safe to play on an RSPS?▾

RuneScape private servers are run independently by their communities and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Jagex. Their legal standing depends on where you live and on how each project operates, so read the operator's rules before you register. For safety, download clients only from the link on the server's own website, use a password you do not use anywhere else, and be careful with executables from unknown sources.

Do RuneScape private servers cost money?▾

Most RSPS are free to download and play. Operators usually pay for hosting through donations or an in-game store, and what those stores sell differs a lot: some offer cosmetics or ranks, others sell items that affect progression. Check the store page and the rules on donor benefits before you invest time, because this directory does not verify how fair a server's shop is.

How are the RSPS on this page ordered?▾

Featured and Supreme listings are paid placements and can appear first. Below them you can narrow the list with the version filter and compare servers by their listed rates, community reviews and observed Discord activity. That activity reflects the server's Discord community, not players online in the game, so treat it as context and open the listing details before you decide where to play.
