RuneScape Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mythikal13 Mythikal 🌐 (@mythikal13) reported

    @OldSchoolRS My game wont launch at all now and keeps crashing my steam.... is this a new issue with this?

  • KingsBluue KingsBluue (@KingsBluue) reported

    @OldSchoolRS if you spent money on staff instead of your pockets these issues could be resolved in a timely manner. $11 a month btw

  • SkyguyIts ItsSkyguy (@SkyguyIts) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I normally wouldn't mind because I understand servers go down from time to time. But 6 hours is a bit outside of a normal window for server issues. You guys make millions, at least have some kind of redundancy in place.

  • themcpolo M X (@themcpolo) reported

    @AlexKiddTV @RiaElinor @RuneScape I get your POV but I also understand the other's POV. People pay from $10 USD to $80 USD (depending on membership 1 month - 1 year) to play the game. To have a similar server side error to last year when the Varus started, there should be something to compensate for that.

  • JaySindab Jay Sindab 🇸🇪 (@JaySindab) reported

    I am one of the lucky few that have been able to stay online, playing runescape. But seeing how much problem there is I wonder; could this be runescape's worst problem ever (excluding ddos attacks)?

  • NecessaryChang1 NecessaryChange (@NecessaryChang1) reported

    @LilMissFinch_x @alex_butterwort @RuneScape that's too tantalizing. May cause further addiction to the keys. 2 is a safe fix for me lol

  • ThyNeighbor_ Thy Neighbor (@ThyNeighbor_) reported

    @wiregh0st @OldSchoolRS If you're paying for a service and that service is not available, it's not unreasonable to ask for compensation.

  • CaPeach123 Reckless (@CaPeach123) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I understand that in terms of a Network hosted for a game service like OSRS and the line of work I do may differ but surely the Sysadmins have some sort of contingency plan in situations like this? No outside backup hosting server? It's just ride it out until it's fixed?

  • Keillor53565598 Mikio (@Keillor53565598) reported

    @OldSchoolRS The servers have been super laggy before this crash, I hope Jagex can somehow put their resources into making the oldschool servers better.

  • ChrisArakelian Chris Arakelian (@ChrisArakelian) reported

    @ManuDemoen @RuneScape Yes, but this doesn't happen like everyday, This is normal. paying for it doesn't mean it would still be perfect. Wait for a fix

  • Per90446879 Per (@Per90446879) reported

    @OldSchoolRS How long its gonna take to fix the problem? I was going to get 99 mage for a few hours ago😠hurry up.

  • TheJimbob1337 James Sergison (@TheJimbob1337) reported

    @RuneScape Any idea what has caused the issues? I haven't been able to use Facebook login, and i got onto an alt for half an hour before the client crashed. Then nothing.

  • finest_rs Tyler (@finest_rs) reported

    @OldSchoolRS When are you going to have an actual support system rather than relying on Reddit or Twitter lottery to obtain proper customer service? @JagexSupport @RuneScape Crazy that people have to gamble on 3rd party to obtain customer service rather than your own website.

  • d_hobbyist Deranged Hobbyist (@d_hobbyist) reported

    @Solenya94 @OldSchoolRS Haha, you think they're going to dish out free membership to everyone affected? With the cost of the issue already, plus costs if they need new hardware and outside consultants to help, you want them to cut their profits? Bye bye Jagex if they do that.

  • pinky___swear eliza says acäb (@pinky___swear) reported

    runescape is broken if they dont fix it soon i’m gonna off myself

  • Mark52037234 Mark (@Mark52037234) reported

    @savagestelaris @RuneScape Bro, I seen this **** before, its why I quit ARK. When they say its fixed and its still broken, that tell me they have no idea what's wrong. They cant even keep their front page up and running? But yea relax, right into a different game.

  • Chrislohr20 Chris Lohr (@Chrislohr20) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Like come on. This is mad. People pay money for this not to happen. I mean have redundancies for issues like this.

  • Mark52037234 Mark (@Mark52037234) reported

    @RuneScape Runescape: Its fixed! 1 min later, we have reports its not working

  • JoelMcadie Fuzz_Puppet (@JoelMcadie) reported

    @RuneScape so how long now until we can play the service we pay for?

  • GrillMarxBud GrillMarxBud (@GrillMarxBud) reported

    I followed @OldSchoolRS so they could fix the login issues. Should work. 🤙🏽

  • Celas07 Celas (@Celas07) reported

    @OldSchoolRS want to fix your servers? anytime now. thanks. multi-hundred million dollar company idk how.

  • OLagwagon OSRSLagwagon (@OLagwagon) reported

    @RotDull @OldSchoolRS Wrong problem move along son

  • SleuthExaminer LJ (@SleuthExaminer) reported

    @RuneScape u don’t understand. I have a dog in there, a dalmatian, do you hear me!?!? he’ll starve! systemctl restart nginx.service

  • themcpolo M X (@themcpolo) reported

    @AlexKiddTV @RiaElinor @RuneScape This is also on top of the MTX sales they get. You would think by now we would have errors down to a level of 10%. But as we wait, that just USD/time spent wasted. So I see it from both sides.

  • HazletonKen Ken Hazleton (@HazletonKen) reported

    @ChrisArakelian @RuneScape when they do updtaes they generally bugger them up and have to hot fix, ninja fix or not fix

  • CaPeach123 Reckless (@CaPeach123) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I mean I hate to add to the insanely large amount of trolls and ******** involved regarding this issue but as a Network Administrator I wonder what 'good progress' even means. 6 hours at this and still not positive results but 'good progress'. Can this company ever be transparent

  • RotDull RoT DULL (@RotDull) reported

    @OLagwagon @OldSchoolRS ill ******* ddos you dont EVER speak to me AGAIN

  • NThorleif NemytThorleif (@NThorleif) reported

    @RuneScape Dunno if this was the whole time but before trying to log in it was just loading and nothing happened, but now i got an actual error? well anyways, good luck in figuring out what the issue is, we will wait for it to be resolved.. x3

  • RoanWat RoanWWW (@RoanWat) reported

    @KingsBluue @OldSchoolRS If there's something wrong with the servers intern then yes. And from the looks of it it's a server issue.

  • xXTwizzyXx1 ZxDaddyTwizzy🕉 (@xXTwizzyXx1) reported

    @PraytorHaley @OldSchoolRS Well I've been back for about 2 or 3 months and in that time frame I haven't seen any issues like this happen, so I wouldn't expect it to happen very often.
