RuneScape Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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.

  • Celas07 Celas (@Celas07) reported

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

  • 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.

  • LavdasRhythm Rhythm Lavdas (@LavdasRhythm) reported

    @OldSchoolRS No problem I was able to fully download elder scrolls online so I’ll be on that , good luck jagex , fix this . I’ve never seen any multimillion dollar company have such terrible servers , should have backups for the backups . Nonstop service . Get connected.

  • KingMainit Mainit King (@KingMainit) reported

    @OldSchoolRS if i win the lottery Ill donate it all to you guys so you can finally be under real pressure to fix your ******* servers.

  • 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.

  • RotDull RoT DULL (@RotDull) reported

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

  • San4311 Sander (@San4311) reported

    @RiaElinor @RuneScape Be glad they 're working overtime to fix it. Could have just said ''**** this we're not paid enough for this ****, see you tomorrow''. Sick and tired of people whinging about compensation for no more than 6-7 hours of downtime.

  • 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

  • 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)?

  • Mark52037234 Mark (@Mark52037234) reported

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

  • 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.

  • Kaelthalon Kayell (@Kaelthalon) reported

    @RuneScape Take your time @Jagex. People be crying over 1.5 cents per hour lost. You should FedEx them all a few pennies for their trouble.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • mythikal13 Mythikal 🌐 (@mythikal13) reported

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

  • 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

    @splashtopban @OldSchoolRS Something such as, the Sysadmins have been digging into the issue and rather than try to put the servers back up with the potential to go back down we're going to hold off for a few more hours to ensure when they're back online they are for good.

  • Blue_Frostfire Blue (@Blue_Frostfire) reported

    @sirrvacatusssss @RuneScape No. It just means the login servers are borked. Your account is fine. We just can' play them.

  • OLagwagon OSRSLagwagon (@OLagwagon) reported

    @RotDull @OldSchoolRS Wrong problem move along son

  • solo_sparky Solo_Sparky (@solo_sparky) reported

    @CaPeach123 @OldSchoolRS no they cant ever be. 5 mins after I posted on here, servers are back. 20 mins after this post by them. Such service!

  • JoelMcadie Fuzz_Puppet (@JoelMcadie) reported

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

  • 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?

  • MattTheFolf Matt (@MattTheFolf) reported

    @JagexSupport @RuneScape I can't login it say error loading your profile and ideas?

  • pinky___swear eliza says acäb (@pinky___swear) reported

  • dangard999 dan Swift (@dangard999) reported

  • Majoras94 One-eyed Cucumber Man (@Majoras94) reported

    @iSamiiee @luke_roo @RuneScape I dont care if nothing is given for this but I am upset I have to deal with irl issues instead of distracting myself...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
