Old School PvP RSPS Setup

Job ID: 40492088

Budget: £10 – £20 GBP

I’m looking for a seasoned RSPS developer to build a fully-functioning, PvP-only private server that mirrors the 2007 Old School RuneScape experience. Authentic tick timing, switching, special-attack formulas, prayers, and wilderness mechanics are must-haves; the server should feel exactly like OSRS the moment a player logs in and steps into the wild.

You’re free to base the project on a solid open-source 317/OSRS framework or start from scratch in Java—just keep the code clean, documented, and version-controlled in Git. My priority right now is the core combat loop and overall stability. Extras such as custom items, leaderboards, or seasonal tournaments can remain optional for a later phase, so please leave clean hooks or modular systems that make future additions straightforward.

Deliverables
• Complete server and client source with a working build that emulates OSRS 2007 PvP combat
• Deployment help: guidance or scripts to spin everything up on my Linux VPS (Java 8+, MySQL, Netty/NIO)
• Brief setup & configuration guide covering rates, drop tables, and wilderness zones

Acceptance criteria: players can create accounts, equip gear, enter wilderness zones, and engage in combat using all attack styles with the same delays, prayer interactions, and special-attack behavior seen on Old School RuneScape.

If this sounds like your wheelhouse, let’s chat about timelines and your approach.
