As I told Jagex, I have poison spiders and deadly reds that need killing, so let's get this fixed.

There are still F2P places for poison spiders and deadly red ones before next week's update.

It may take a little more travelling to go to Lava Maze for poisonous spiders.

As for deadly red spiders, aren't Varrock Sewer the better place anyway? Or Karamja too. I didn't go to the Edge dungeon for red spiders for an eternity, as Wildy used to be pvp enabled and I thought that part of the dungeon was member area.

They said they can't hotfix that bug, so they'll only fix it with the update next week. Honestly unsure how something like that can even happen in the first place.
At least we have confirmation that it is a bug, and not just another example of Jagex trying to turn F2P into a mere demo with a string of in-game membership adverts.

So no hotfix. They will do nothing until next week...right after the end of DXP. Fantastic.

Thank you for sharing the information here. All hail The Empty Lord!

Yeah...not exactly convenient going to the Lava Maze just to kill 15 spiders to complete a Combat challenge.

I think the poison spider lair in Edgeville Dungeon might have been members-only a long time ago, but it has been open to F2P for quite some time.

Yes, the Varrock sewer is indeed the best place to kill deadly reds. This would be the same sewer free players currently are prevented from entering, due to this stupid bug.

There are a few deadly reds in the volcano on Karamja, which is fine if no other players are there. If you are competing with one or two other players, it can be frustrating. The same goes for the poison spiders in Edgeville Dungeon. All hail The Empty Lord!

I was talking about
deadly read spider
you mentioned on OP you were going to the kill in the Edgeville Dungoeon, not poisonous spiders.

I agree with this. How do you accidently make something from f2p to members only content?

Ever since today's graphical update, the trapdoor entrance to Edgeville Dungeon and the manhole entrance to the Varrock sewers are suddenly no longer available on free worlds.

When you attempt to enter these dungeons, you are told you have to be on a members' server.

These areas were never members-only before, and there is no mention of such a change being made to F2P in today's TWIR newspost. Therefore, I presume this is a bug, and I have reported it as such. I urge others to do the same.

As I told Jagex, I have poison spiders and deadly reds that need killing, so let's get this fixed.
I think there's something off. Edgeville Dungeon entrance is blocked off "Login to a members' server to go here" and same for the Varrock Sewers entrance too. Also, I've noticed something else:

The brass key entrance to the hill giants has an invisible wall just north of the hill giant area blocking off the rest of the edgeville dungeon. A couple othe things to note:
-The rest of the dungeon visible is lacking any and all monsters, no zombies, skeletons, or hobgoblins that you'd normally see in the next area from the hill giant area.
-The hill giant resource dungeon is still rocking the old graphics

I for one, like the look of the new graphics, and wonder, is this just a "area under construction still" bug? Is there some exploit they found and instead of rolling back the graphic update in that area, blocked it off to fix it? I haven't found any mention of this in any notes or game updates from Jagex. It's strange is all. If anyone found notes from Jagex about this, could they please share? Or if they contacted Jagex support? Nothing interesting happens.

Can anyone with membership access that area like normal? Is it functional? Does it have the new graphics update? Are the monsters there the same or have some been swapped out?
I'm members and I can't access the dungeon in f2p worlds.

"To go here you must login to a members' server."

So the area is open on a members' world then? I don't have membership so I can't check. I'm assuming that the others checked and it's implied that the area is open on members' world. Nothing interesting happens.
