29th March 2024 - Happy Birthday RS2!

Today is RuneScape's 20th anniversary launch of RuneScape 2 🙂

First, a moment of silence...
... In the name of Andrew Gower, Amen.

Let's all take a moment to look at what we've accomplished, and I'd like to call out a few contributors in particular for their help:

Our tooling completely rebuilds the client cache from scratch identically, with the ability to work with names instead of cache IDs

RuneScript compiler and runtime - @Polar

Full web client written in TypeScript - @Jordan @rebecca external: .ssh (lysergist/tyler27)

Support for old PCs (98-XP), new PCs, and iOS devices (android at some point too)

Accurate engine mechanics (more work in progress here)

NPC and item spawns meticulously placed for 2004 - @The Sudden Silent @Tannerdino

Shop inventories and pricing mechanics - @The Sudden Silent @Indio @Brian @Flenarn

Server-side properties for NPCs, items, and objects in the world

All research archived publicly, including levelup reward dialogs - @Jordan @Tannerdino @The Sudden Silent @Go @Brian @Indio @jkm

NPC drop tables - @Flenarn @Tannerdino @Jordan @Detaetious II

All F2P quests and a good portion of P2P, there are only 20 quests left. Over halfway there! - @Indio @Tannerdino @Jordan @Brian @UnknownSeal @Flenarn @Spooky

All skills - @Tannerdino @Indio @Brian @Spooky

Combat, including multi and singles logic - @Jordan @Tannerdino Random events - @Tannerdino

Tutorial Island (most recent PR) - @Brian

 and more in the 350+ PRs submitted! Thank you to all contributors especially if I didn't list your work above. Every little detail is important to the big picture.
