Hey Everyone.

Just a friendly reminder.

Currently no (double xp) in old school.

Anything stating other wise simply isn't true please be aware.

I love that this is VERY detailed so the new players have a better chance of not falling for any scams and losing their hard earned gold & equipment. I mostly tell people if it seems to good to be true it usually is lol and to just ask an experienced player before doing anything odd, i remember getting scammed several times back in 2004 when i started playing and was a little bit naive xD but we all learned from those mistakes and now i just try to help others not have to make the same ones! Great post

PSA - looks like there is a scam Twitch account masquerading as the official OSRS account with a phishing link claiming to enable double xp on your account. The account's name is "oldschpoirs". Do not click the link in the description or enter your account details into this site!

It's also the most viewed channel for OSRS at the moment, which is concerning.

Unfortunately, a thread like this had to be created for people with no common sense. If it sounds too good, it's a scam.

If you are a new player on a basic account (Not a Hardcore Iron man) I suggest that if someone wants to take you somewhere that you have never been before, BANK YOUR ITEMS! If you are going somewhere new just bank everything valuable so that if they do trick you and take you somewhere dangerous then you won't lose anything big! Always be safe and if it's not okay with someone that you want to bank your items then more than likely it IS A SCAM/LURE! Hello there! I'm literally that Scrub +
