    Both are solid choices, but I'd go curry most days of the week.

    I'm a software and system of systems engineer.

    No, we do not make any amount of money worth mentioning. I'd say in the last four years of operation we average to break even. However, there are many months where we had to pay out of pocket just to keep the lights on for RuneMate. This is a product of our passion for the work we do. The only payment I need is seeing the usage stats tell me that every day RuneMate operates we put almost two years back into the world.

    I think I always knew in my heart I was one. One can only deny one's destiny so long.

    What is your five year plan and what influences its contents?

    If you must know, Trump.

    Not sure this is the appropriate venue for this sort of question, but I'll entertain it nonetheless. RuneMate is the best RuneScape botting application on the market (objectively) and the best computer science education tool ever created (in my opinion). We will continue to be both those things indefinitely. Any and all things necessary to keep excelling at the things we do will be done. While I can't discuss specific features here, there are plenty of exciting things in the pipeline.

    No, and we wouldn't want to. neXus/iBot was a fine product for its day and age, but by today's standards it's a subpar application that would likely get you banned the moment you logged in. If you're speaking more generally about the golden age of botting that began with neXus and ended with RSBuddy, then my answer would still be no. RuneScape isn't the game it used to be and neither are the numerous scenes involving it, ourselves included.

    He has gone on to pursue his passions and from what I can tell by speaking to him and his friends, he's doing fantastically. Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to discuss specifics as that's his personal life and it's for him to share.

    We didn't come up with the idea of RuneMate per se. I have done this many times before (powerbot, ArbiBots, RSBuddy), so in that sense RuneMate is just the natural evolution from all those products. However, many things we've done here have been groundbreaking work, including but not limited to Spectre, Clouse, and PlayerSense. Cloud and I have probably spent over 10k man hours on RuneMate.

    Depends on what it was and my availability at the time. I don't believe that freelance private bot authoring (and just freelancing in general) is a good way to generate product. Code rot will inevitably set, and freelancing doesn't have a repair mechanism in the form of continued support. I much prefer offering managed services involving a SaaS or subscription business model.

    As I mentioned in a previous response I'm a software and system of systems engineer.

    All good things come to an end. It's not how many times you get knocked down that count, it's how many times you get back up.

    Your question: *Most important one imo* How did you start out on the botting/black market community of Runescape?
    I wanted to have a nice RS account back in high school, but I also didn't want to be stuck to the computer all the time.
    Also, it seemed like a nice way to practice some simple programming.

    Both are bad but package refactors for no good reason are the worst.
