Your blind if you think the bots are being dealt with.. Go to any world doesnt matter which one and try to hunt for red chins or kill dragons any kind doesnt matter... Then come back and say bots are being dealt with properly..

"All together, you clocked up an incredible 4,445,966 hours of game time over the weekend, and accumulated untold billions of XP."
As usual, many of those hours were clocked by bots. You had a chance to ban them before the nuke, but you didn't. Very disappointing.
And that untold billions of xp? Lots went to players botting their mains overnight. Is there any chance that they'll get it removed? Any chance at all?

"You can be sure that our next big game event will be better, smoother and more fun than ever before."
Had you gotten rid of the 50,000 bots that are constantly logged on, it would have been smoother this time.

Thank you for the double exp, got from 87 - 98 range (34 exp till 99, saving it), without this weekend I wouldn't gotten it for a very long time. As for the lag it is understandable, although it was annoying, it was consistent. The few times i did log out (pesky 6 hour logs...) it was quite a fun time trying to get back in, at least until late at night when all the exp wasters went to sleep :P . Just go change the servers punch cards and vacuum tubes next time you plan to have so many people online :P .

I thought this weekend was fantastic although I did suffer from serious lag issues. One suggestion I have moving forward is that these weekends are basically geared toward no-lifers.
I would suggest a "cap" of some sort to ensure everyone can take advantage of the weekend but not abuse it. For example offer 10 hours of double experience or a cap on total experience. Just a thought ...

I don't suppose there's any way to raincheck all of us who couldn't log in during the event, I finally managed to log in & burn a few yews for maybe 2 or 3 hours sunday night. Unfortunately I had to work the next day so couldn't stay up to really do anything. I wish I at least had an opportunity to deal with the lag. Really feeling somewhat robbed here.

I had prepared for the bonus xp weekend; I had a farming trip planned, plus some herblore. Then I would craft and alch about 1.5k air battlestaffs. Altogether, I figured this would take me about 3, maybe 3.5 hours. I have been "playing" rs for 7 hours over the weekend. My already bad internet connection couldn't handle it, in combination with the server lag. Of those 7 hours, I actually spent 5 hours logged in. The rest of the time I was either lagging out or in lobby, trying to get in and looking at the "your account has not logged out from it's previous session" message.
In the 5 hours I did actually play, I didn't even manage to finish my planned stuff. I still have 1k battlestaffs to alch. I did do all the rest. However, I had also planned to go runecrafting for extra xp after I had done all that. It never happened.
Basically, this has caused me a lot of frustration and a loss of about 65k magic xp. This could have been done in 3.5 hours, so in the other 3.5 hours I tried to play I could have gained a significant amount of runecrafting xp. Plus I probably would have played more if I didn't lag out literally every two minutes.
I'm not angry, I understand your problems, but I am frustrated at the very least - and here I am, telling you, to give you an even better incentive to do something about this.
Thanks for reading,
Roxanne
