>What is 2004scape?
2004scape is the live 2004 server of the Lost City project, a project aimed at recreating lost Runescape versions, down to the Runescript.
Every cache revision that is available will slowly be recreated by the Lost City project, after every feature has been tested.
The Lost City engine is the best engine to ever reach the private server scene.
This server will have NO Quality Of Life features, and will exclusively be a recreation, not catering to playability.

>What's the beta?
The beta is here! It's the first release of 2004scape. Character stats won't be reset from now on.
All Free-to-Play content of Runescape as it was on May 18th 2004 will be available to play, at a normal 1x XP rate. Members content will be unlocked with the full release of 2004scape on March 29th.

>What month? What content will be available?
In the beta all F2P content from may 18th 2004 will be available, and then all members content in the full release on March 29th.
The Lost City project hopes to recreate a bunch of lost versions, and content will slowly update to match later revisions, and it will eventually launch 2005scape, etc. Each new year will be its own separate server, each having different saves of your character that carry over from the previous years, meaning that anything you accomplish in 2004scape will still persist as the game progresses through the years.
