Correction. It is not against the law to make a RuneScape Private Server. If that server should begin to charge people to play their game, and profit from it, then it would be considered copyright infringement. Simply making one to learn how to use JavaScript, have fun, etc. is not illegal. My advice, go ahead and play, but don't pay for any servers. Chances are, it's not worth it. I am the CEO of Game Ryte Studios and we have a RuneScape Private Server. We are not violating Jagex's copyright protection because we are not making money off of it, except for donations, which is not considered as profit, because it is a donation. I have talked with JaGex employees about this, and they concur with what I say.

It is copyright infringement and it is illegal, regardless of commercial.
