Also, to everyone who has been aware of the disconnects and yet continues to play and lose their items - you're allowing yourself to lose items where it is common knowledge that items do not get refunded.

Simply check the World Selector and organise by "Players" and if servers have under ~100 players, don't play. You could spend a day or a few without playing or you could be impatient and lose hours and hours of work.


What about the people that were not aware that a ddos attack was oncoming. 2 days ago, i got on and played for 2 hours straight, feeling safe in a game i pay money to play. I went to do a quest (horror from the deep) and all of a sudden all the British servers got ddosed. Was it my fault I died in an instanced boss fight and could not retrieve my items, even with a 30 minute grave timer? No. Needless to say, I don't get on the game anymore for more than 5 minutes, I just check the GE and log off. And do you find it OK that a worldwide MMOR** with 90% of players being members (as stated on their website) and over 50k people on at a given time (i would assume over 1m people get on in any given day) has such an issue and it feels like they're not fixing it? You can't blame the Jmods going on streams and making content because they're not responsible. But at the same time you can't just pay for a game and then "spend a day or a few without playing" because that's just professionally unacceptable.

Just a question for you Jagex? Did your servers dc in your recent update today? just asking cos i bet it didn't. Please employ one of the big companies to sort this mess out for you. This has been going on for too long now. Like all the other players on here i also cannot play for more than 5 - 10 minutes without dc'ing. I just tried logging in just now and it just hung there. We all understand your problem with this but its unnacceptable that you continue to try and deal with it yourselves wehn clearly you need help from experts. Please employ them! speculate to accumalate as the saying goes....

We all are "whining" about the same problem...

And i know we dont own our accounts, we own permission to use them on your servers.. BUT.. we pay for the game and for the permission.. where is my permissions when you get ddosed all the time.. and people will loose stuff that they have worked hard for?
- Just asking..

One of the things that I really want, is a way to imbue items that is NOT NMZ.

NMZ was very controversial when it was added. I dont think it should have been at all.
A great way to get imbued slayer helm would be to kill monsters that drop parts you can add to the slayer helm. or pay 400 slayer points for the ability to build one (or both).

(Unrelated note) Vet'tion looks like an rs3 boss. fix that please.

(Also) 72 slayer is about 800k exp. It shouldn't provide the best money per hour.
Crafting 2 nature runes requires like 90+ runecrafting and is no where near the money per hour. Nerf Wyverns drop table, Or get rid of the 6 square invincibilty


Last part couldn't be more incorrect honestly, while 91 RC takes more effort, obviously, than 72 Slayer, double nats make just as much if not consistently more than Wyverns. Speaking from experience as I got 99 Runecrafting and on my other account (main build) I did Wyverns and was not getting as much GP/Hr.

Maybe less safe spots at Wyverns would be prudent to increase the challenge

This is sadly simple, too simple for you to be on the fence about, its like you ronan said with the splashing, undesirable, if you take away the safespots in w**rens people wont be able to camp them indefinatly for massive profit, obviously if the melee people are strong enough to kill them then they deserve the drops. If you re add randoms, and i mean actually re add the randoms, not the option to dismiss, then you will kill splashing, for the most part, you will also have to somehow work around clan wars splashing but im not sure how to work around that one. Mabye make clan wars a better game to play? back to what i said before, the dismiss option caters to bots who can script to right click dismiss, or they can simply ignore them, so to work around the problem with randoms being repetitive and annoying to legitament players, add new randoms, funner randoms, put cool rewards in them. You have to stop trying to make up a simple solution by removing content or adding tiny bits of cone**, add some new content, new randoms, this will solve the problem. As for a zulrah is conserned I dont have much to say. That was your choice to add the boss and i couldnt hardly kill her on my level 101. The only thing i could thing of would be to add the option to die forcing players to bring welfare gear and therefore not get as many kills as in there 10m coin setup. DDos attacks i have never personally witnessed and i cant understand why someone would ruin the players time on the game to get back at the developers or whatever they are doing it for. In terms of nightmare zone the only thing that i can think of is to put a stopper of some sorts in there. For instance after an hour of nmz theres a short intermission period which requires some sort of interatction. Personally i dont know anyone who would play nmz for 6 hours straight legit anyway so idk. I dont have a real problem with afking its only that nmz is really fast experience, as apposed to splashing which is 13k xp an hour.

This 'Lykosys' guy here either has a sub 50 IQ, is intoxicated beyond comprehension, or fancies himself a job at Jagex.

You're entirely missing the point regarding people losing their items. People are angry because we PAY REAL LIFE MONEY to access this game, and yet jagex think its acceptable to be major ******* cheap in terms of expenditure on old school but keep taking our money.

To Jagex,
This is where you give up some of the money you've STOLEN from us over the last few days by deducting membership credit when the game is inaccessible and spend that on improving protection for servers. If you can't do that, please just give up, sell the game to someone who gives a **** about their customers.

Morally bankrupt, but it's fine because jagex are still acting within the law.

GIVE US OUR ******* MEMBERSHIP CREDIT BACK.
