Its not connected to the main game. Its a private bot only server.

That being said, is copying the game outright legal?

no it is not. a lot of runescape servers have recently been receiving UDRP disputes (to get domain + contact info) and subsequent legal communications from jagex

Back before ClusterFlutter (which was just a lot of Java object type-casting, large multi-dimentional arrays, and overflow math) botting was pretty easy to write yourself with very little JVM knowledge.

Bans were (and still are) pretty hard to come by as long as you pay for a membership.
