I'm joining the Old School team as an engine developer, having already spent the past couple of years on the RuneScape engine. It's been about 15 years since I first played RuneScape, with fond memories of selling lobsters with my older sister outside of Varrock West Bank. For some reason the smell of liquorice reminds me of Castle Wars. I look forward to helping the team continue to bring you quality updates! UIM btw."
