Yeah I agree with 95% of the community here; the only QoL update you should be adding to your game at this point, is a fix to the garbage that is your servers. It's a joke that this stuff should even be thought about, at time when your game is literally unplayable by the majority of your player base. Get your Priorities in order.

Do you not read any of the forum/mod posts?!?! There is a whole separate team dedicated to protecting the servers...the OSRS team is not that team. The system admin team is...they are working day and night to fix the problem. Jagex understands that having the game down is a huge problem and is top priority. Stop whining like an entitled 13yr old and grow up. Cyber attacks happen and system teams respond by adding new security measures. It's not an easy fix but they are working their butts off to get the game running smoothly.

yo this update is completely uslesss if we can't login in. we pay to play a game that is broken. thats a rip off . by the time this issue is resovled...(1month later) my membership will be completely wasted , no mod will reply to this because you guys refuse to extend anybody membership, even tho nobody was able to properly play your game... what a shame jagex cares nothing for their paying customers

"yo this update is completely uslesss if we can't login in. we pay to play a game that is broken. thats a rip off"
Yo, they have said multiple times across multiple platforms that they are doing everything in their power to fix the DDOS attacks. You are playing an online game, these issues arise.

"by the time this issue is resovled...(1month later) my membership will be completely wasted"
Go ask mommy for another $10 dollars. Go work a part-time job for literally one hour out of the month.

"what a shame jagex cares nothing for their paying customers"
Jagex has repeatedly reached out to the player base to inform them that they are aware of the problem and working to resolve it. Clearly you don't know how to read (or spell) and should calm the fuck down.

From that blog:

"Over the next week we are running a competition. The player with the fastest completion of the Fight Cave will receive the IRL Dragon Scimitar shown above alongside a year of membership!"

Clever way to positively identify the idiots ddosing your servers... or the dumbest thing you've EVER offered given that half or more of the player base can't log in, and much of the remainder can't stay logged in..

Now to top off he server issues, i cant even load the clients. (OSBuddy and OSRS)

Any idea when this will be fixed? i understand the rules and know that DDoS is a problem said to be in a gray are and no membership will be refunded or items given back etc...

I can see other people playing and i see Youtubers making videos and i still have no idea why they're able to play and i cant so much as load a client to check to see if playing is even possible at this point.

I'm not really asking for anything as much as i am an answer to what the actual problem is. Been playing this game since probably 05 and I've never seen anything like this before, and it Doesn't seem to be getting any better but worse.

When will i be able to play again? )': Jakewalker :P :P :P :P :P

From Mod Ash himself...
"The sysadmins are doing what they can to block the cause of the network disruption. While players occasionally wonder why we're doing game updates when all that's going on, frankly it's not something the OSRS team can help the sysadmins do better, so cancelling game updates wouldn't help."

"As this isn't something the OSRS team can help the sysadmins do faster, we've proceeded with the game update because, frankly, cancelling it wouldn't have helped."

"OSRS was never completely unprotected, of course. In the earlier days, we'd got DDOS mitigation that could handle a fair bit, but the attacks were simply orders of magnitude larger. In 2015, the entire game could be basically offline for ages. You'll notice there's been less of that lately. That's because the sysadmins spent the time required to rejig the entire network to mitigate that sort of thing more effectively; it wasn't just a matter of telling the hosting company to plug in a DDOS protection box. Without going into details about what's under the hood (since we prefer not to share that info) 2016 became a lot smoother as the year went on, and we're likely to stick with this approach because it's a lot better than what we had before."

All of these quotes are from Mod Ash within the past week.

I don't know if i'm allowed to say this, but for my fellow runescapers I shall. Just yesterday someone told me of a fix for the dcs and it has actually worked. You have ( I won't link one I'll leave it up to you to find one ), download a vpn and run that vpn on either canada or the UK. Hope that helps and pls no ban if I did something wrong, just delete my comment. Ty.
