  • Ice3317 Ice (@Ice3317) reported

    @RsnPur @RuneScape Hmm that does seem to be a issue then... wish I could help more. From what I've seen, it should work like other currency drops we've had in the past. Seems like it is about 3 minutes between drop.

  • IgweSoccer Emma Li (@IgweSoccer) reported

    @sammyboi27 @JagexSupport Thanks to @vaezil, They help me recover my banned account back within few minutes when I had same issue. They are fast and provide the best service

  • Josh36404841 Josh (@Josh36404841) reported

    @Zx10rrs @JagexSupport I also encountered similar issue..support service are just not it I recommend joe_expertise on Instagram to you, he helped solve my issue He's a pro, legit and very reliable

  • Insider2000 Insider2000 ❄️☃️ (@Insider2000) reported

    @Monodi I mean, most of the people I’ve spoken to about it played other MMOs like RuneScape and WoW, and those games (no hate on RuneScape, at all) are not as visually stunning. On the other hand, I don’t the graphics are low enough to cause ‘that much’ of an issue for people.

  • Ehm_Cue Q (@Ehm_Cue) reported

    @loversmotif @OR13NT_OSRS @OldSchoolRS Dude I am not arguing that it shouldn't happen. I don't care, let it happen. I'm stating the fact that HCIMs deal with the same issue you have but we have no "fix" for it like what you have. I'd like the same courtesy. IDGAF about the feelings of past HCIMs on current events.

  • mtedensEST Mt Edens (@mtedensEST) reported

    @JagexSupport What other advice can you give me? I have so much info in there and its still not satisfing?? You think I didn't focus for the 12 times?? The system is gliched and needs fix. Or fire the monkey who can't realize the info is good and account is mine! Wtf!!

  • RobertMonro Robert (@RobertMonro) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I'm fine with those changes they want to make, not all of those who play Runescape are in stable countries, at least the change in the 60-minute mechanics, that's fine with me. Losing all your effort to an external problem discourages anyone.

  • Chrispy_Chreem Chris (@Chrispy_Chreem) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Fix pvp first nubs your game is dieing again. Figured you learn from the 1st time they scrapped pking.

  • dylan69755197 dylan (@dylan69755197) reported

    @AndrewM56044683 @JagexSupport I was having the same problem until I massaged @FOSTER_TECH01 on Instagram He helped me out I had to recommend him

  • RsDK1105 Dk (@RsDK1105) reported

    @JagexSupport I never received a determination on my appeal. I know the rules and should not of been muted in the first place. Thousands of dollars and hours on that account I wouldn’t even risk the black mark. This issue isn’t a fake sob story it’s an issue that your system has created.

  • gingerjuicer beengay (@gingerjuicer) reported

    @loversmotif @OR13NT_OSRS @OldSchoolRS Ah yes because no one ever lost anything to a disconnect.. fixing the servers couldn’t possibly be the move

  • Irn_Bru_Ftw Dylan (@Irn_Bru_Ftw) reported

    Anyone got any potential remedies to fix motion sickness on games? I swear the only two games I could play without being sick is RuneScape and Fifa. Normally FPS games I'm good with too but earlier I was watching Cyberpunk gameplay and I almost threw up due to camera motion.

  • CluelessUri CluelessUri (@CluelessUri) reported

    @LawrenceTheDev1 @LouffeVC @OldSchoolRS idk about you but dc's arent part of my game mode, maybe fix the real problem first?

  • BlohmOSRS Mathias Blohm (@BlohmOSRS) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Hcim also suffers devastating loss with connection issues

  • AndiousCS Andious (@AndiousCS) reported

    @nilky__ @OldSchoolRS Restarted my phone twice, tried playing on my laptop, PC, burner phone, Kindle and smart fridge but having issues, someone able to send me the MP4 file?

  • JagexNin Mod Nin (@JagexNin) reported

    @Reinbark @OldSchoolRS @JagexLight Yes, we will need to fix that before releasing these changes.

  • KoReeveS koree (@KoReeveS) reported

    @TinaOSRS @OldSchoolRS They’re eliminating that problem by storing the items with the account instead of the server, items dropped that are stored to the account wouldn’t contribute to the worlds area item limit

  • bigfluffygsd Kaikai The german shepherd (@bigfluffygsd) reported

    @JagexSupport I havent disabled the account though this is the issue!

  • I__Celtic__I Celtic Rambuta (MAKE CRYSTAL CHAPS 1 DEF) (@I__Celtic__I) reported

    @GergeOsrs @OldSchoolRS @JagexAsh if you disconnect from the game, you'll be logged out after 60seconds no matter what. Imagine a rat hit you and you dced before you killed it. you'd never ever log out because youd be in combat and the rat would never kill you. thats why this safety thing is here.

  • loversmotif Loversmotif (@loversmotif) reported

    @Ehm_Cue @OR13NT_OSRS @OldSchoolRS Yeah. That's artificial difficulty, those ironmen shouldn't have lost their statuses. But it's gotten to the point where if they did properly fix DCs for HCIM, all of the ex-HCIMs would be upset that their HC status doesn't get restored or something else. There's no good solution

  • Reinbark Reinbark (@Reinbark) reported

    @OldSchoolRS @JagexNin @JagexLight I read the blog and I saw the scenario mentioned but for straight clarity, this would fix the situation of 2+ UIM suiciding on the same world in the same chunk and their stuff getting deleted, correct?

  • Andyriso slowly going insane (@Andyriso) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes I know you reference this in the article but generally, play to earn games just seem like a bot paradise. Just thinking about games like RuneScape and how a play to earn model might seem appealing at first but would encourage an even more severe bot problem.

  • RamenisFueled FueledRamen (@RamenisFueled) reported

    @JagexSupport I have broken a rule but it wasnt the one that was issued, and for some reason mine was perma which was not justified, it was under RWT but i did not RWT, it was the duel arena, which had lack of info what i did was technically trust trading.

  • bcant684 Brandon Cantrell (@bcant684) reported

    @JagexSupport I looked through this beforem the problem here is again, it uses the account registered email, which I do not have access to. I need to disable the authenticator and change the email for my account. Is there a mod who can assist with this?

  • im_heat 🌚 🧙‍♂️🦷卄€คт 👽🧚‍♂️🦝 (@im_heat) reported

    Figured out my runescape login and password from 2007 so now its time to regress!

  • kayliexo7 kaylie (@kayliexo7) reported

    @Zx10rrs @JagexSupport I had similar issues contacting support but nothing changed until my cousin recommended @AutoConnectMN that dude is good

  • ConorFev CFD (@ConorFev) reported

    @JagexSupport is it possible for your workers to make an error while banning accounts, as human error does exist since they are all ‘manually’ checked, as i was wrongly banned, is there anything else i can do

  • aegonleconquer1 aegonleconqueror (@aegonleconquer1) reported

    @JagexSupport Hi I've recently experienced much higher than normal (10x) ping to my local servers, I've gone through troubleshooting steps and haven't noticed lag on anything else, only oldschool servers. Any advice?

  • Ehm_Cue Q (@Ehm_Cue) reported

    @loversmotif @OR13NT_OSRS @OldSchoolRS That’s a weird take. You’re basically saying that they shouldn’t properly fix DCs because then past HCIMs would be “upset”. Like feelings matter in this discussion. The same could be said about UIMs in this case that lost their items to DCs, they would be “upset”.

  • TinaOSRS Tina 🌺 (@TinaOSRS) reported

    @KoReeveS @OldSchoolRS The proposed change only follows the account but will still spawn into the game world therefore the tile problem still persists. I believe nin said he knows how to fix this, though
