If you could add something so that players can get untradables back upon death in the wilderness in bh worlds and pvp worlds for a much longer duration until you are able to fix the servers that would be great too. It isn't just pvm that is affected by this, please consider the pking community.

Our untradables are an important asset to pvp in the wilderness and we can't be penalized like this, I'm worried about the community. Please help us.

Make an option to get additional untradables earned back from the npc in edgeville, or increase the duration of just the untradables on the ground for a safe amount of time in the wilderness.

~Thank you

Your loyal Pking community

Is a shame we have idiots (most likely script kiddies who are incapable of writing a single line of code themselves) insisting on doing this, but sadly there is no foolproof method of completely obliterating the damage done. It can be reduced, but unfortunately with the largest possible attack size increasing rapidly (one notable group has done a 1.2 terabits per second attack when the last largest was only 400 gigabits) there is little that can be done cheaply. My own personal suggestions are to take a look at some freely available DDoS tools and write firewall rules to filter out attacks from those, invest in backend link protection (as it seems to be a trend to attack those links when usual attacks fail) and generally invest in servers with more RAM/faster network interfaces to mitigate against possible exhaustion attacks. Is costly that is true, but it should render most minor attacks from small groups useless, while giving a larger window of time to warn the community of issues.

this post doesn't matter, i already lost my 30m at dks from a dc. sent jagex an email and was annoyingly ignored. 30m in osrs is alot to lose from a dc. stupid as .... poop

In previous DC's they said they don't have tools to refund lost items in these scenarios - sucks about your loss. :(



Nevertheless, thank you for the update and hope the brainless morons behind it are caught. Old forum user.

I'm currently stuck in the fight caves, i'm getting logged after every wave and i'm on a slayer task and a boss slayer jad task. It's extremely frustrating redoing every wave where as if i leave i won't get the extra reward from slaying jad for my regular task. Currently in time there is nothing i can do in runescape without logging every 2 minutes. These Ddos attacks are so disgusting. Thank you for recognizing the issue. Just wish there was more help for us players stuck in the caves :(

I was going to get Legend's Quest done and then camp Rex for a few hours before my subscription runs out later as I might not get to renew it for a while, but I can't now as it's too risky :(
