Date: daily for at least the last 2 months
Time: random brief periods over the day
Server/World: 391, 527
Game Location: hydra, vorkath, gauntlet, wildy
Any steps to reproduce: i'm just experiencing brief lag spikes that i can't reproduce

I know for a fact this isn't on my end because friends playing on the same world as me lag at the same time.

Date: At least the past 6 months
Time: Anytime of day
Server/World:415, 477, 484, 491, 495, 509, 511, most total level worlds
Game Location: Anywhere
Any steps to reproduce: Just playing the game. For me at least it seems to be based on the world that I am on. Some worlds don't have the lag others do. Of late I've only been playing on worlds that don't have the lag because it's so annoying. The worlds haven't changed for me that have the lag. 485, 486, and 507 I don't experience the lag on these worlds.

This may be a bit long, only because this has been crippling gameplay for me and I'd really like to see a fix implemented soon. Trying to help with as much specific info as I possibly can.

Date: Started late February 2021, and seems to have slowly gotten worse as time has gone on
Time: Entire duration of login on specific worlds (see below)
Server/World: Seems to be random, and it seems to switch randomly, too. I might be crazy, but World 493 was fine two weeks ago, now there are intermittent tick timing variations (each game tick seems to be a very slightly different duration) making it extremely difficult to change prayers precisely (i.e. Inferno, Nightmare, entering DKs room and flicking the 3 bosses). This world (493) was also typically low in population, leading me to believe there is another cause besides high population.
Game Location: Game-wide/everywhere
Any steps to reproduce: Hop around and tick-walk (walk 1 tile at a time, 1 click every game tick) around your current location, or alternate protection Prayers every game tick. You will likely see your Prayer drop every few flicks even if you are keeping a consistent rhythm of clicks.

Thanks for acknowledging this issue, hope to see a fix soon!

Date: everyday for the past yr? (Since just before major server issues)
Time: all day everyday, seemingly random, roughly every 10mins
Server/World: 363/349 (all total worlds, i just play these)
Game Location: everywhere.
Any steps to reproduce: just load osrs and youll hit server lag within 10mins

This is the major reason why i dislike endgame osrs.
Osrs is built (nowadays) around timings to .6s (1tick), when you add seemingly random server lag you cant learn max dps methods incase of a server lag, ive only just learnt to woox walk, but it feels completely null when i die ATLEAST once every 10?kills to server lag while im woox walking.

I havent even tried inferno and im literally never going to until the servers get fixed, a game cant be built around .6second timings, when the servers cant stay stable for longer than 10mins.

Its cost hardcores 1000s of hours already, it ruins the fun of learning meta strats for fast boss kills when server lag kills you every 10mins, as well as making the 'reward' for being high level (total worlds) a complete waste of time as theyre a ridiculous amount worse than core worlds.

Its a shambles, and has been for the past yr, has needed urgent attention since the last 'major server issues'
