So i just got back from a close to 6 month break and realized that all of the money I invested in this client in scripts has been deleted from my account because OSbot 2 has been released.  I just wanted someone to explain to me how this is fair to anyone besides the people getting repaid to fix their scripts for the new client.  If Microsoft deleted word 2014 and older when they came out with word 2015, the entire country would lose their shit.  I just don't understand how it makes sense that I can't get a refund for the product I paid for, since the product was taken back by the company.  I'm sure the terms and conditions cover everyone's asses, but it still doesn't make it right to take what people have bought.  

I'm sure this is old news and someone else has complained, but I just don't understand how people continue to purchase scripts knowing eventually someone is going to delete them for you.

I deleted the previous posts because I'm the only one (besides the other devs) that is in a position to talk about it. First, I would like to say that I'm sorry you (along with many others) had a short-lived product. However, the scripts you buy are created by third parties (scripters) and sold under our domain. The service you pay for here at OSBot is membership, not the scripts themselves.

 

When we released OSBot 2, all the OSBot 1 scripts became outdated due to a complete re-work of the API. In order for our bot to survive, this change was necessary. We informed scripters many months in advance urging them to update their scripts for the OSBot 2 release. Only a handful of scripters actually did and the remaining scripters went either inactive or created new scripts for OSBot 2. The premium scripts that did get ported to OSBot 2 were allotted to customers who had the OSBot 1 version for 30 days.

 

Why 30 days? Simply because it's unfair to the scripter. As mentioned previously, OSBot went under a huge re-write requiring scripts to follow suit. "Porting" an OSBot 1 script to OSBot 2 wasn't a simple transition and many of the behaviors changed therefore the logic scripters previously used changed as well. This all required a lot of time and by the end of it, the "ported" version was essentially a new script altogether.

 

The transition happened about 7 months ago and I find it astonishing that for some reason the last 4 weeks I get a topic every day about it. Each topic goes something along the lines of "Hey I left botting for a few months and I came back and my scripts are gone". Hopefully this answers all your questions. If not, you can find more information here:

There has actually been an influx in amount of players coming back and checking RuneScape related things. There was even a post on MoparScape from an admin about it. Guess it is just that time of year.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I came back, but i searched around forums for quite a bit and couldn't find any posts related to why they disappeared.  Maybe you should have some kind of stickied thread that says OSBot 1 to OSBot 2 changes or something that the returning people will see.  Unless you already do and then I'm sorry for ever posting anything.
