The lag did prevent me from playing much, but the one problem that really upset me was I had planted a Spirit tree on Friday and it never grew all weekend. I finally was able to collect on it last night too late for the Xp it should have gotten. I also know a few others had their Magics and Yews become stagnant mid-growth. I hope there will be another Double XP possibly in Dec or Jan once the upgrades happen.

The log-in servers also felt the strain, meaning that some users had difficulty logging in or switching worlds.
tbh i think the servers are the cause of a lot of the problems will g4 speed everything up our side and yours hope so make things much more acessable g3 is so outdated now with all the extra content.
:D ps loved the DOUBLE XP but please only once a year too much free xp makes the game more predictable and on a negative may seem to cheapen our skills from normal xp too much of a good thing not good so mabe only once a year :o)
besides that i need sleep lol my body clocks up the wall lol
talking about clocks was a bit dissapointed by the timing of xp weekend as it was running an hour late.
i am aware the clocks went bk but please get the message out correctly and in a timely fashon bst.

A little lag and login problems, but didnt bother me much - gave me a healthy break occasionally :D
Regarding bots; At least the fire-making ones should be easy to fix; for every fire you add in a row, the chance of setting yourself on fire doubles. A drop-and-roll emote would put it out else they burn to death.
Alternatively, make a item that allows players to shoot it throw flames. It only does real damage if theres 5 or more flames in a row, and the guy at the end is fire-making.

I agree with a lot of the player posts.
I think that Jagex should have added a day to compensate ppl that were messed up by the severe lag and login issues. I certainly did! I also think that the lag basically brought my xp earning up to "maybe" a normal level vs x2. Sunday was a bit better!
Also agree that much more should be done about the bots.......
Hopefully upgrading their servers will help next time.

The lagging was the worst it has ever been and logging on sometimes over the weekend was a nightmare at times but I'll accept the apology!!! Just one thing for the next time keep the XP the way as it is always in the middle of the screen - this time you could only pick 3 skills to see the XP.
