Brilliant news! I don't know what I would've done if an extra fee was required. I'd seriously think it through and I probably wouldn't pay extra. Then again, I've never been able to actually quit ;)

<3 OSRS for many years to come

Bots – We will continue our anti-bot work which has really been seeing results in the last month or so. Since expanding BotWatch’s reach into Old School over 90,000 additional bans have been made, an incredible number, which averages out around 1,800 bans a day. Let us be clear: this behaviour is not allowed in either main or Old School RuneScape!

This is exciting, but will you guys make a greater effort to avoid banning legit players? All these good news serve no purpose if BotWatch is not fixed. The BotWatch IS malfunctioning and it really needs to be fixed before OSRS moves forward.

The 'legit players' claiming false bans are botters in denial.


No, I believe you are in denial. People do not pay fees to waste their time whining on a forum about an offense they've commited, especially not this many people. I certainly wouldn't do it.

Just look up my thread in the oldschool advice section ''How to avoid a wrongful ban'' and you will see for yourself.

One thing though, the day you'll be playing legit and get banned, you'll feel bitter about it and will want to get your voice out there. It is ridiculous that botters are still running around and that legit players are getting banned for absolutely no offense with no appeal and no customer service available.

This is very serious and Jagex needs to make an announcement about this explaining why previously wrongly banned players can't play the game without being paranoid of being permabanned for merely picking flax, ranging at the guild or doing agility.

And once again, I suggest you don't state your opinions as facts, it makes you look bad and very self-centered. Just a pro-tip, take it or leave it.

Successful in banning legit honest players and in letting tons of lvl 3 account bots running around. Death sentence for every suspect is the way to go?

Thanks. Looking forward to that possible f2p update!!

I'm sorry but please don't get your hopes up, we plan to keep OSRS as members only for the foreseeable future.


If this "foreseeable reason" happens to be botting or macroing in general, you all have done such a fantastic job in doing nothing, but atleast charge the bots to bot

Yay.... I am stoaked - I spend almost all my RS time on Old School - but can't give up my EOC account, and still do ports and daily challenges.

I feel I have invested too much time in that account to completely give up on it. I do find it harder and harder to go back to it each time though!!!!

My 3-month membership is about to run out (I only do the 3-month scheme) in a couple of days. I was really worried about when I'll have to re-sub on September and I decided I will quit (again) for good if there was a price change. Hearing there will be no price change really made my day. I'm staying yay!

I expect a lot of old players would also return since the pricing update in September is one of the things keeping them from coming back.
