Season 9 - A New Sunrise

Minescape Season 9 - A New SunriseA long time agoMinescape was first released in 2012. We first approached Podcrash in 2011 & 2012 about a possible partnership (buying their map), but they declined as they were working on their own server called RuneCraft.

Season 4 : Do not go gentle

Minescape Season 4 updateThe time has come for a new chapter in the story of the network. Minescape was first released in 2012. Back then servers were unable to send resourcepacks and our goal was to create a very simple RPG with some Runescape aspects. The game, at the time, wasn't even running on a map shaped as Gielinor (Runescape's map). It took us a few months to convince Podcrash, creators of our initial Minescape/Gielinor map, to work with
