RuneScape Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • fleshcrafting Abby (@fleshcrafting) reported

    In Old School Runescape all of the content is polled and that's pretty neat but it's lead to this problem where people who aren't getting what they want vote against content that meant for other players. Now the devs have to push lots of changes through to keep the game alive.

  • NullFreedomEx SpeakingLoudly.cs (69,45) : NullFreedomException (@NullFreedomEx) reported

    @JagexSupport I've taken care of it, I thought it wasn't possible to change the gang mid quest and by mistake i've entered phoenix gang which locked me out of completing heroes quest, joining black arm again fixed the issue. It's easy to get tripped up by this :/

  • bommijn Bommijn 👊 (@bommijn) reported

    @TURBORURU @OldSchoolRS I'm not sure if the cold fix will bring you a new router.

  • RyuuRS1 RyuuRS (@RyuuRS1) reported

    @RayJonesXD @JagexSupport Thats lucky! I had 2 false 2 day bans on my rune dragon alts and they havent done anything to help and just ignore me now. I guess its 2 diff issues though, looking into false bans takes a mod actually taking a bit of time to look.

  • parkour135 Jorge Miranda (@parkour135) reported

    @JagexSupport @JagexSupport Dear Mod Tomasz, the problem is that there is a RWT ban, so that's why i can't appeal like a normal via. That's why i'm showing up this threath to you guys! Cause after this lure i get banned and that's why i'm trying to appeal this from here!

  • IdleIncomeChris Chris Bridgett (@IdleIncomeChris) reported

    @CoinDesk @LedesmaLyllah Runescape not working out any more?

  • overstain overstain (@overstain) reported

    @JagexSupport Can someone please contact me regarding a very weird problem? So log-in with email, but for account recovery i need to use in-game name and in the Denial response it says "Character Name Unavailable, we have received a request..."

  • She_tiwa She_tiwa (@She_tiwa) reported

    @weirdfunkysoul @JagexSupport The costumer service is bad they won't render you no help, fixercali on Instagram is the one helping us out here.

  • kylie_tranter Kylie Tranter (@kylie_tranter) reported

    @JagexSupport I’m trying to recover a very old account of mine which I’ve had for like 18 years! Last login 2018 but can’t get on it anymore? Username isn’t even showing on the hiscores either.. Shortass is the name! Recovery got denied. What can I do :(

  • robertmcbobert1 robertmcbobert (@robertmcbobert1) reported

    @JagexSupport Hello, the account this problem is occurring on is a few years old and was not created through steam. I was just highlighting that the steam client is the only client I am able to log in on and I am currently not able to log into the runescape website by any means including steam

  • Dual_Shark DShark (@Dual_Shark) reported

    @JagexSupport will there be a option in the future to be able to change user login email? I know there was a lot of questions regarding this in the past still seems to be a issue for people who are getting spammed logged in.

  • saturatedsoul_ Kevin (@saturatedsoul_) reported

    @JagexSupport thanks! I also have a follow up question/issue.. I'm trying to buy VIP and when I select my bank to pay via iDeal I get an error saying: ''The payment has failed. Please check your balance and try again.'' It should be transferring me to my bank page to pay but it doesn't.

  • robertmcbobert1 robertmcbobert (@robertmcbobert1) reported

    @JagexSupport @JagexAsh Can't log into osrs account unless via steam (which I set up today in response to this issue). No luck on App or the original client either. I can't even log in to runescape website either, even after changing my password multiple times today.

  • CoreyMeyer97 Corey Meyer (@CoreyMeyer97) reported

    @JagexSupport I played for a few months last year for the first time in years and when I tried to login today for the first time since then it said my acc was banned for macroing? I submitted an appeal but I’m not sure why that would happen. I’ve never used any 3rd party software

  • Goldsmithdan900 Daniel Goldsmith (@Goldsmithdan900) reported

    @JagexSupport Hi, I raised an issue with yourselves a while ago, but I haven't had any further communication for two weeks now so i am starting with a new tweet hoping this gets a resolution.

  • devdeckardcain DevDeckardCain (@devdeckardcain) reported

    In RuneScape, whenever there is a major contest of some sort, it's not uncommon to see players DDOS each other or the server itself

  • OnlyCLJS CLJS (@OnlyCLJS) reported

    @JagexSupport Pls explain to me why my OSAT ironman got banned for macroing? Weeks of work, gone to ****. Why tf would I go out of my way to hop 32 worlds, day after day, find stars, and mine them for hours *and* bot it? Reinstate the account. Better yet, fix your bot detection.

  • tjovanovitz1 tjovanovitz (@tjovanovitz1) reported

    @JagexSupport I haven’t logged into my main since March, went to login and it said disabled, then told me it was locked because it was suspected have been stolen…. Does that mean it was hacked, banned or both? Help!!

  • trulife4real Joshua L Florence (@trulife4real) reported

    @JagexSupport after my 48 hr macro ban i thought was an error i then login to my account just for it to be locked. I then recover it my stuff missing in bank which had a pin on it and authentication on it. Ur articles doesn't provide anyway for complaints or tickets. #runescape3

  • __Tjsmith (TJ) murphy stan acc (@__Tjsmith) reported

    @OldSchoolRS What about account security? Login spam?

  • trulife4real Joshua L Florence (@trulife4real) reported

    @JagexSupport stop providing extra articles and banning innocent accounts when people need physical support. Players can't solve in game issues with a damn article without a ticket for support. I login account my money and items are gone and im in lvl 16 wild wtf

  • TURBORURU Real Ruru (@TURBORURU) reported

    @OldSchoolRS surely the lag on worlds will be fixed with this :)
