Open-source MMORPG game clients

The dated history spans 2012 to 2025 with a single entry in each of seven irregularly spaced months, showing no discernible pattern. Traction leaders are runelite, runelite-launcher-appimage, and runescape-launcher, each with 0 stars on the activity signal, with runelite listed first.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
