ATTENTION: Winscape is no more.

Winscape was created during the summer of 2006, when people under the alias of "cappy" and "orkee" combined efforts and set forth a new era of private servers.

It started with the administrators of thugsrus, looney, orkee, cappy, pug, and windy. Soon, only orkee, pug, and cappy were left. Cappy runs the server from his own computer, still vowing to never give his source out to anyone. Winscape is fantastic because it has so many features, such as advanced smithing, a great economy, many unique items other servers dont, training areas, great staff.

The server Winscape is a moparscape based server, made from the game of Runescape, with similar coding, but many differences. The game of Runescape and it's user-created private servers are made using Java technology Sun Microsystems. The creations of these private servers have surely made many people more aware of computer terms and technology. The statistics show that over a thousand people have created a private server, even sources where people can base their servers from. This means that there is a great chance that those people will go to college, get a degree in computer programming or software analysis, and live successfully in life. Most Moparscape private servers use hamachi or no-ip as means of connection.

The Winscape private server can hold a maximum of 46 players at any given time. At the 46 mark, it is supposed to block other incoming connections besides the current 46. Instead, the server "crashes," or kicks all current players and shuts down. The meaning behind this is unknown. Attempts have been made by the owner of Winscape, cappy, and various other adept Java programmers to stop these crashes, but to no avail.

On August 31, 2006, the official Winscape forums were created, and an online community never before seen so large was created. The official Winscape forums have over 500 members, Five thousand, seven-hundred posts, and a chat box for suggestions of ideas, economic issues, and reportings of illegal actions within the game. The owner of the Winscape forums is Alex, also as administrator in-game. Cappy, the owner of the server Winscape, also co-owns the forums alongside with Alex.

Winscape has some very unique features, compared to other private servers. Such features include a complete character-look interface, which indeed saves the data for the next login. Another feature includes many interesting training grounds, where characters can gain experience in their various skills, such as attack, magic, herblore, and crafting. These training areas could be attackable non-player characters (NPCs), a shopping stall for ingredients, or trees for chopping wood to gain woodcutting skill experience. All of these skills integrate with each to provide maximum simplicity and complexity at the same time.

Winscape's economy is very well put-together. The various rare items in the game include items received from a "crystal chest," where you use a key and get a random item, possibly common, sometimes very rare, such as a purple partyhat. Other rares include items given to players by the administrators, such as in a "drop-party," where the administrators drop rare items only they can obtain, via spawning codes. Rare items from the crystal chest are now removed, and administrators host drop parties less often, making many items increasingly difficult to obtain.

The main thing about Winscape that keeps it intact, and out of chaos, are the fantastic staff of Winscape, and them doing their jobs quite decently. Moderators have a command to boot players from in-game, stopping people from swearing continuously, cheating, etc. Also, they are able to report abusers in-game to an administrator. Without the moderators and administrators, there would be no order in the realm of Winscape, or any other private server.

The current staff of Winscape are as follows. Cappy is the owner of Winscape, and the head administrator. He handles most of the player bans, updates of Winscape, and controls basically everything in-game. Alex is me. I am an administrator as well, and virtually the co-owner. Orkee was the original co-owner of Winscape, as he helped create the server, and made a topic of Winscape on various forums sites. Pug is still an administrator of Winscape, although he comes on the game rarely, he is fairly active on the official forums. Windy still has administrator status, although he is not active in-game, or on forums, anymore. Marz is the third in command as far as everyone is concerned, and also administrator. He is the most active person on the Winscape forums.

The moderators of Winscape include Say la v, sephyrthe1st, and honest truth. Say la v is a new addition to the Winscape staff. sephyrthe1st was one of the first moderators, and still is to this day. Honest truth is also a new addition to the Winscape staff, and active in forum affairs.
