I appreciate many players may be wondering whether our time could be better spent rejigging the network to make it more DDOS-proof. The SysAdmins are already working on that, in conjunction with our hosting providers worldwide, and they're doing everything they can.

The OSRS team - consisting of content developers, artists, testers, community staff, etc. - wouldn't be able to make this happen any faster. More people isn't what's required, and our skillsets aren't relevant to it either. So it wouldn't actually help if we stopped doing game updates. We'll keep you informed of how the sysadmins get on.

World switcher is nice, but how does the restriction work on hopping too fast? Will 3rd party client hopping have an advantage?
Our login systems have restrictions on hopping too fast; this was installed when the system started getting overloaded by all the login requests people were making. So 3rd party clients can't hop as fast as they might wish.

The in-game one also has restrictions on use, but not such tight restrictions as the login system uses.

I wish the world switcher showed the amount of players and ping.
Yeah, that'd be nice. Ian might be able to give us some more game engine features for this after he's finished with his current projects (e.g. resizable mode).

Also, if he can make the engine check that you're logging in from the same IP after you hopped, we could more safely offer you the option of making your PIN stay unlocked over the hop.
