About RSPS
RSPS.org has been online since 2002. We started it because the lists we used at the time were 80 percent dead servers and obvious pay-to-win shops, and there was nowhere to actually find a server worth playing. Twenty-something years later, we are still here, still doing the same thing, just with better tooling.
Started in 2002
Before MoparScape, before RuneLocus, before half the names you might remember. We have been listing servers longer than most servers have been alive.
Independent
No paid placement, no advertiser influence on rank order. We have been offered money to move things around since the early 2000s. The answer is still no.
Three Lines We Do Not Cross
These are the standards the list has held since 2002. They are why some server owners do not like us, and why players keep coming back.
We do not sell rank
Position on the list is set by player votes. Server owners have offered to pay for top placement since 2002. The answer is still no.
We pull dead servers
If a server stops responding, ghosts its players, or pivots to selling power, it comes off the list. Better 30 active servers than 100 zombie ones.
We keep votes honest
Every vote runs through IP, timestamp, and callback checks. Bots and incentivized traffic get filtered before they touch the rankings.
