Pretty f***ing terrible. We can't play the game that we paid for and Jagex is doing nothing about it. GIVE US COMPENSATION FOR THIS INSTEAD OF POCKETING MY MONEY AND GOING ABOUT YOUR MERRY WAY.


They are clearly working on fixing this, they care about the community and the game. Now calm down and have some patience.


THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS I WILL NOT CALM DOWN

Okay, ***** resizeable. ***** zeah. ***** pures wanting special treatment for neglecting a skill and ***** any allegations of the game being unbalanced. None of that is important right now.

We, as a playerbase, want to play your game. So drop EVERYTHING else and make it happen. Putting in new content means nothing if you allow people to lose millions and be locked out of the game. If you do not put every single ounce of your effort into countering this DDoS attack, you will have a product with no consumers and weeks of wasted effort. You are losing support, fans and customers because it has gotten so bad.

Anyone who is reasonable knows that the attacks are not the fault of the JMods. Nobody with any measure of intelligence blames you guys. HOWEVER, you are still the only ones who can do anything about it. You've got a large, dedicated playerbase. I am certain that a few of them at the very least are skilled with this sort of thing. Ask for help, maybe even offer some free membership or something as an incentive. Whatever works. Just stop working on unimportant things and make the game function.

I have been playing runescape for years. It is probably my favorite game. However, I also played dwarf fortress for years before I quit. I quit because the game just didn't work. There was one major issue in that game, that the developer simply refused to implement script threading and make the game work. At this point in time his engine is pretty much done, it just needs that one last thing to be functional. Instead of fixing that, though, and making his game actually work, he cranks out new content and leaves the issue to plague the users. Something similar is at play here. You are making more content instead of dealing with a problem that ruins everything you are trying to make. Your half-measures no longer work.Please fix it. Don't ruin the game for me or others by letting this continue.

Things in old school are horrible! I am a man that really values time. I was training my range and died with my full void that I have not even used for more then 3 - 4 hours. I had to put up 20 hours+ playing with bots in the novice portal that I am not willing to do again to obtain my void AGAIN. Even if I was compensated with more days of membership, I will be just spending those extra days getting back what was lost which I think is a complete waste of my time.

I stopped playing for 3-4 years ever since the EOC update and recently got back to try OSRS. This stuff use to happen a lot, I would lose 50m+ when pvming from some server wide DC and no compensation or roll back, but when there was a bug that benefit the players they rollback. I honestly do not feel like playing a game were I have to worry about losing items I spent hours obtaining or worrying about doing certain parts of the game because of some sever issue on Jagex's part. I really want to pvm but I dont want to go through these sever issues again in OSRS that annoyed me in pre-eoc. I guess I will just move on to something else were I do not feel like I am wasting time, it certainly won't be Runescape.

Your game is at risk of attack by any disgruntled player it seems. It's actually shocking how a product that relies on a solid internet connection still, 16 years after being established, is unable to deal with things like ddos attacks. Worst mmo on the market currently.
