Thanks for your efforts in combating this and look forward to the new Death System update.


I'll never forget the first time it happened to me. Was on one of my first trips to gwd in arma chest, legs and helm and lost all 3 on a disconnect. That was before items protected on death were based on GE price. Think I lost 30mil - I cried cause back then that was nearly entire bank.

Hats off to you Jagex. For the first time in as long as I can remember, you are acknowledging the problem. I think the temporary death mechanic rework is exactly the right way to combat this.

My only suggestion is, as is the nature of oldschool, if they don't get on in 10 mins they stand to lose a lot more than runescape 3 players. I personally was unable to get onto oldschool for about 20 mins straight last night, luckily I didn't die, but if I had, I would have certainly lost some items.

Maybe, as it's a temporary solution until these people are caught, you could introduce a grave stone but really drum home to the community it's purely there until the ddos problem is solved? Because there is nothing worse than losing a few months effort because of someone else. Just an idea.

Gravestones absolutely do not belong in oldschool, providing the servers are working :) You have admitted they're not, so add them in as a temp fix :)

All I want is my medium exp pt lamp which I earned in Sink Hole but was never awarded when I was disconnected while I was in the treasure room and the other players were taking their turns with playing cards (if they had any). I had played a card to keep my medium exp pt lamp safe ... dungoneering exp takes so long to get w/o losing it after you have earned it!

What's being done regarding hardcore ironman and this?

I've dced whilst slaying a few times and when at hellhounds or whatever this can lead to near-death, or potentially deadly, scenarios.

Obviously I'm trying to stay away from combat once I realise that attacks are starting, but I'm not prepared to completely forgo combat for the next few weeks. Can I expect any safeguards if I die due to a dc, or is the death final?
