ALL THOSE DEATH MECHANICS WERE ONLY LISTED UNDER RUNESCAPE 3, NOT OLDSCHOOL????

What we're doing about it

Death system ( Old School) – A few weeks ago further changes were made to Old School’s character death system so that if you died during PvP only those who are logged in to your world at the time of your death and have remained logged in can see your items. This means targeted disconnections have no (in-game) financial gain for griefers. GOOD LUCK IF YOU ARE NOT PVPING

Grave timers (RuneScape 3) – A temporary change has been made to increase the time given to recover items following a character dying to a minimum of 30 minutes. This change is now live and will be kept in place until the death system rework is released. SAYS NOTHING ABOUT OLDSCHOOL

Death system (RuneScape 3) – We are going to fast-track community discussion and development of a significant rework to the death system in RuneScape. This change will allow players to pre-decide what happens to all of their items upon death so there isn’t a 'race against the clock' to reach the grave marker, as currently happens. Read Mod Hunter’s Death System Rework outline on the forums. SAYS NOTHING ABOUT OLDSCHOOL

Network resilience (All) – We are continuing to invest in upgrading our network infrastructure and making configuration changes so RuneScape and Old School will be more robust in the face of disruptive network traffic. This work will happen in stages over the next few weeks and months.




why does old school not get the same death thing, seems its only good for pvp worlds?

seems that oldschool servers still have no fix for this. i mean if you die in rs3 it looks like you get death system grave timers, but for oldschool its like wel*, unless you are pvping, same things are still in place

I know I'm going to sound nooby for saying this, but related to dropping items on death... Why? Why does this game still drop stuff on death? It wasn't fun when Runescape started, it still isn't fun, it's so un-fun that for the past 5+ years I've avoided combat almost entirely just for the fact that I don't ever want to die on this game at all, and not even remotely risk the chance of death to lose anything I have.

Your proposed changes are all well and good, but as am ironman char, dying is more than an inconvenience. I refused to do anything risky on Sunday due to this issue. I stopped doing temple trekking because dcing was causing me to lose trekkers. Not only did I get dced, I was standing in varrock bank and i got teled to about an inch from wildy wall in edge. We can't even accept aid, so it was nothing related to my char. If something like that happens and my HC dies because of some weird hack/game issue, I am done with this game.

Well the thing with DDoS attacks is that even the biggest games are unprotected from them entirely, I've even seen main search engines hit, it's something that cannot ever be entirely canceled out, to be upset to that degree over something completely out of their control isn't really an acceptable reaction.

People are thanking them for an information update on something that has been happening for a long time. To little to late I say.

While Jagex is at it, can I suggest shutting down w134, lagging out on sinkholes while in first place, every time I try, is frustrating.

Not to mention the number of people it happens to each session, who are left at the demonheim starting point, using profanities at the NPC's, because Jagex won't listen.


Bring back Mod MMG !!!!!!!!!!! Now, that's a decent reason to raise the price of subscription.

This might be a stupid question but why do DDosers do it? is it like hacking the game to give themselves items or something?
I think some people must do it our of boredom, or because they want to prove they can do it. Much like people who create viruses I guess...
I must say I've never met a DDOSer before, so I don't know :p In this instance, the attacks are fueled by greed. We can all thank Kim Do­tco­m for caving in and paying out $300,000 to a certain group to stop their DDoS attacks on his servers. So now this certain group thinks they can get other companies to cave in, and pay out as well. :|

Because old school is an inferior product that you are choosing to use.
