    @OldSchoolRS Can you guys focus on fixing the fundamental issues with the inventory? How is it not your guys' priority to fix this? Change the most fundamental part of the game and it doesnt even work the same way anymore still.

  • Astatos159 Astatos159 (@Astatos159) reported

    @Disco2Dance @MalakHelsing @OldSchoolRS Because some people prefer the steam client? Where's your problem?

  • xBenjihh Benjamin (@xBenjihh) reported

    @OldSchoolRS It´s still not fixed, still having dragging issues. It has improved from yesterday but its still not back to what it was.

  • Skilled_b_me James_C🏳️‍🌈 (@Skilled_b_me) reported

    @OldSchoolRS @JagexAyiza Dart fletching still broken as of 10:09Am, (after update)

  • AltFancy Fancy (@AltFancy) reported

    @OldSchoolRS ESPECIALLY because the PvPTorso has different stats to the current Torso. This seems like an effort to bring old players back into the game (via PvP) but fails to fix the fundamental issues that PvP had that caused those players to quit in the first place.

  • Ragaton7 Ragaton (@Ragaton7) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Ummm. The hotfix just got applied like 30 minutes or an hour ago. But I am unable to join again. Whenever I try to log it, it says that it can not connect to steam, and it just doesn't work. It is not a thing on my side. It is a common current problem.

  • LukeGates95 Luke Gates (@LukeGates95) reported

    @JagexSupport Seem to be having an issue with the new Extinction Quest... After completing the Glacor section Saradomin is not directing me to the next front to defend despite what it says on my questlog.

  • yehtheboys7 yehtheboys7 (@yehtheboys7) reported

    @OldSchoolRS You clowns have the nerve to charge more money for this broken 2007 game ****

  • christiansolizq Christian D Soliz (@christiansolizq) reported

    @OldSchoolRS THE GAME IS STILL BROKEN!!! what did you fix?

  • AddyzRS nick (@AddyzRS) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I'm sure it's already been reported, but even post update I'm still experiencing all the issues previously mentioned

  • NanoDesuX7 Nano (@NanoDesuX7) reported

    @HDOSdev @Dem_Hunt Problem with Runescape official art is that it has nothing to do with the game itself. I mean like wtf is that staff? Amulet? Robes? Helmet? If he holding steel longsword? Who are these goblin-like creatures? They dont look anything what we have. The art has nothing that game has
