Introduction

RuneScape Wiki is looking for old game data to archive the history of RuneScape. If you played the game in 2003-2007, there might be valuable game data on your computer.

Obtaining old game data would allow us to discover the following:

• Lost music tracks
• Unused items
• Unused NPCs
• Unused maps
• Exploring anomalies such as the World map leak

The data would also help us getting a better understanding on how the game was updated over time.
