I hope these recent server problems aren't attacks again?

The sysadmins said they needed to take the UK servers offline "for a bit" to fix some network issues with the hosting setup. Turns out it's being a bit longer than we'd have liked, but we're just having to be patient.

world 18 won't work..

See the newspost on the front of the website:
One of our hosting facilities is performing maintenance on several servers that host Old School RuneScape worlds. They will be down briefly but will return shortly.

Shame W18 just happens to be one of them.

So now that the Dragon Spike failed the poll will you guys be working on releasing the Dragon Defender via the warriors guild? Please! I loved that defender <3


I hope not. Totally undermines the DFS. I understand the Jagex Mods logic that progressively increasing stats are important to develop the game, but when you consider the time it even takes to get a single 99, we have awhile to go. At the rate these updates come, this game is projected to be what, only a 2 year project?


I don't think it undermines the DFS; the main uses of the Dragon Defender are Pking and Slayer. 2 areas where the DFS isn't used (except on dragon tasks I guess but the DFS would obviously still be relevant there) In terms of bossing then DFS will still be used for tanking and the Dragon Defender would be used for DPS I would think, although I mainly only focus on slayer and don't boss much :)


The main concern I have is the rarity of the DFS. Adding Dragon defender would only further ruin the usefulness of dragon monsters because then, none of their drops would really have any value... Before the Visage release I recall dragon legs costing 2.2m. And before the Dragon defender, Visage was around 40m... it soon dropped to about 8m around year 2009 or 2010. I understand your point though. DFS does have limited usage... I digress. The max str bonus of the DFS is what really makes it so expensive.

edit: wanted to continue my message but I hit submit before i was finished.

Mod Philip was just offering us a future engine update that'd help us reassign themed worlds quickly when this sort of thing happens. I think we'll take him up on the offer. Not sure when we'd get it, of course, and it wouldn't help today anyway.

Do you lose all your stuff, if your target kills you?

Same as usual for the Wilderness - you protect 3 items if you're not skulled, zero items if you're skulled, and the Protect Item prayer protects one extra item.
