    @RuneScape You guys have totally ruined the experience for this game. This stuff never happened before you sold yourself to another company. The login lockout was horrendous, and this is pretty much how it started last time. Use the money to upgrade your servers.

  • Matti40254169 Matti (@Matti40254169) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Nice. Another game crash in few weeks lmfao. Also false ban my account ign: im chicken for rwt. Only have swapped gp to my alt acs

  • 43Hfgh6yrtyr pp (@43Hfgh6yrtyr) reported

    @Jamma_Slamma_RS @JagexTyran @JagexSupport Customer service is non existent, i waited for months and no response from support system. It was #clifftech1 on Instagram that fixed my account perfectly today

  • DuckSauceDancer brad samples (@DuckSauceDancer) reported

    @Boresonn @BadGuyPt @OldSchoolRS There's literally ******* 0 entitlement with expecting to get what you've paid for. Most people would be pissed if a taxi dropped them off a mile away from their destination or if they bought a pizza with a slice missing. This is a paid service, there's no difference.

  • vtubePinkKitten PinkKitten🐈 (@vtubePinkKitten) reported

    @mugzee05 @RuneScape I agree, I got this error message today, spent a lot of my time trying to fix the "issue" to then reinstalling Runescape, to then running RuneLite to find out the servers are down and its not my pc after all, and RunLite is third party, good job Jagex.

  • Cravone_Gaming Cravone Gaming (@Cravone_Gaming) reported

    @MyrddinRising @RuneScape They have said, it's a roll back, its not a problem they are fixing according to the info they have provided, but a rollback which they have done countless times this year, how long did it take 2 weeks ago? Maybe thats an estimate.

  • Scatterbrain220 flute basket charmer (@Scatterbrain220) reported

    @CL0WNPlECE @superfly29r @OldSchoolRS You understand them changing a few names around isnt the reason the servers down u massive crybaby

  • angry_popeye Cuckleberry Finn (@angry_popeye) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Can your 2023 roadmap include better servers that crash less and less rollbacks?

  • Austing14758578 Austin graham (@Austing14758578) reported

    @buttplu38111903 @RuneScape It’s not anything with playing it’s that I can’t play and it’s only getting worse. We didn’t have these issues as much in the past

  • GeoffLeonard9 Geoff Leonard (@GeoffLeonard9) reported

    @OldSchoolRS this is the second time in 21 montht his has happened. can you make it so next time it doesnt take 12 hours to fix it? cmon guys first time fair enough, but a 2nd so close and still takes you 12 hours? cmon

  • AnxietyYT AnxietyYT (@AnxietyYT) reported

    @Barrowsboyoncb @OldSchoolRS it was done moments before there were issues, so it was at 04:50 GMT.

  • chrisSt70595359 chris Stewart (@chrisSt70595359) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Cause I pay for a service and as a customer I'm letting frustration be known. You know like a adult in a free country that's allows their business to survive.

  • errintolkien2 errin durham (@errintolkien2) reported

    @ForcedToBeTweet @RuneScape What the actual issue is and if it can be expected to happen again until they iron it out this is 2nd time in middle of ultra competitive mode and some of us only have e the weekends to grind

  • bradjreco Bradley Jackson (@bradjreco) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Fix it or I pull my grandma's life support

  • Anonymity_dj Anonymity DJ (@Anonymity_dj) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Do you know what sucks the most? 6 hours ago, you told us that this was probably going to be a small issue to fix, 6 hours down the line, here we are. I tell you what, Jagex has the yearly award for worst customer service in history.

  • MyrddinRising Myrddin_Rising (@MyrddinRising) reported

    @_crw_rs @Cravone_Gaming @RuneScape "Tell me you don't know anything about system / network / service administration without telling me [...]" etc. etc.

  • BoeYew Boe (@BoeYew) reported

    @GoinBankrupt @OldSchoolRS The game has been down for about 9 hours, now, not 6. Jagex just ignored the first 2 hours of the problem, and even then you some how are missing another 1 hour, with a call out happening 7 hours ago. Hate to break it to ya, but when I pay for something I prefer it to work. Wild.

  • roaddawg456 OSRS shartz (@roaddawg456) reported

    @OldSchoolRS On goddamn Saturday morning… what is it with you guys .. this is happening far too often .. I’m cancelling my membership and advise the rest of you to do the same.. we were also never issued our “make good” from the last server crash 2 weeks ago @OldSchoolRS #emptypromises

  • MDGarp1996 Revolution (@MDGarp1996) reported

    @Gelatin_K @Myths__Legend @OldSchoolRS Thats not our problem they got millions for it and still cant provide.

  • skriptorium Alastair Millar (@skriptorium) reported

    @RuneScape Login to the website is now possible, but functionality is still severely limited (cannot download client, post on forums etc.). When will these services be restored?

  • DuckSauceDancer brad samples (@DuckSauceDancer) reported

    @TeamSESHVonn @BadGuyPt @OldSchoolRS I don't see how you couldn't...? Just because you don't care personally, doesn't make it any less empirically true that people are missing out on a portion of something that they are paying for. Most people aren't happy getting 29/30 of a service or good they're paying for.

  • buttplu38111903 ******** (@buttplu38111903) reported

    @Austing14758578 @RuneScape But you still play it, simple fix dont enjoy the issues that come with things like these, simply dont play it, that stress will then be free from your life

  • Agoodtwit91 Agoodtwit (@Agoodtwit91) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Get yalls **** together seems to be happening more frequently and yall offer what might as well be nothing as compensation with ridiculous down time just to not really have the issue fixed cause it happens again the next week sometimes you just gotta fire everyone and hire new

  • Baciandrio 'That Broad' (@Baciandrio) reported

    @RuneScape wait...didn't we just have an outage no more than a couple of weeks ago? Somebody walk by those rickety, decrepit servers again? Tell me again how much @Jagex made last year?

  • ScawkOSRS Scawk (@ScawkOSRS) reported

    @OldSchoolRS De ja vunescape, another day, another server outage and another rollback.

  • Zephyum Oliver Darke (@Zephyum) reported

    @Messereth1337 @OldSchoolRS Get a grip lmao - "mass crash in population", delusional is the word.

  • TheManInBush Bush (@TheManInBush) reported

    @playnewworld had an exploit this week, AGS contained the exploit, kept the servers online, and communicated as things progressed. @OldSchoolRS has a current issue but the servers are offline indefinately, there are rollbacks happening, and there has been minimal communication

  • BetaFactor1 Beta Factor (@BetaFactor1) reported

    @WhyAreLessWiFi @milan_hoi @RuneScape How you think it works is not at all how it works either. Servers don't just randomly break down every weak, with a proper server setup you always know when a drive is going to fail. Occasionally an error slips through the tracks but this has been happening way too much lately.

  • AntsNetherl NetherlAnts (@AntsNetherl) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Always these problems.... also you banned my main for no reason... didnt even played on it... and still you banned it... can you roll back that also ? Cuz unauthorised client... i didnt even touched the damn game....had my acc from 2001...allot of time in it... not gonna risk it.
