8th June 2025 - Roadmap

Lost City has been in development since February 2022, it started off as an idea to recreate early RS2 and transitioned early on into a complete preservation project.
In April 2023 we started the "RuneScript" iteration of our journey, and it took us 24 months after that to go from nothing to a complete May 18, 2004 version.

June 28, 2004 will be our next content target. It comes with a minor engine update, Elemental Workshop, Special Attacks, new Agility run energy recovery scaling, a thinner and brighter game frame, white outlines around selected items, multiple hit splats, and a bunch of bug fixes.
There's no hard date right now and special attacks won't be coming next week. Potentially this month, potentially next month, stay posted.
I have seen some confusion around sticking to Jagex's original timeline and cadence. We're doing it chronologically yes, but depending on the specific updates to write and how life is, it could be slower or faster. Just wait for an official announcement before speculating!

This engine update required revising our packing tooling to support it, and updating the webclient with all the changes accordingly. We also took the opportunity to rework our repository structure on GitHub. All I can say for now is, we're working diligently behind the scenes. It's a much smoother process after this version is completed and our multi-revision workflows get refined.

This work takes time to do correctly. Each git contributor is a person that has to work a job, pay bills, live life and then spend hobby time to do this. Setting deadlines for our free service and volunteer efforts comes with the risk of burning out individuals. I don't want you to have an expectation of monthly content updates when it comes to our hobby time and your hobby time. I (Pazaz) am always here making commits consistently to get us closer to the finish line :) Shout out to Indio and Tanner for their consistency too.

Some of you are expecting a constant drip of updates, while others are more reasonable and understanding. Thanks for playing and spending your evenings with us, you are the community and we appreciate your time spent playing and reporting issues.

p.s.
The servers are hosted for people to be able to experience the content we've recreated meticulously, and I pay for the additional regions so everyone can experience it with little ping. If you're cheating and/or RWTing you are missing the goal of the project. I don't host so you can cheat for fake internet points or have a career offloading GP. Play to experience history, or move on.
If you can code or want to learn, consider helping us.

Game Versions

Below is a list of the versions Jagex released from May 2004 - May 2006 and if the client caches are archived.

The server side needs to be recreated for each one as client caches only contain graphical assets. We can only target a version if it's got enough archived to work from.

This means the next version after June 28, 2004 is either 245, 254, 270, or 274. Any of those will require recreating some missing maps and models however. Maps and models can be recreated by making educated guesses, packing, and comparing file checksums in the cache.

Cache Integrity is a % of the total files in the cache, not how usable it is. Mouse over it to see how much is missing in more detail.
Depending on what maps and models are missing, they may be entirely usable still.
Cache Integrity "N/A" means that version is not archived and we're forced to skip to the next available version as we approach it.
