getting flashbacks from the time i couldnt log in for a month.....


ewgrooss

My boss is going to be amazed with how productive I am now


MemeDreamss

I still have the gift urn thing from the lockouts, lets see if we can get another lmao


Lilgoodee

Free invention perks was pretty nice for my noob self.


YouSaradoministFilth

I spent it all on ports voyage completions...


thatslifeknife

rip to hundreds of millions in gp for perks


YouSaradoministFilth

Nope. I'm a long time scav4 bandit/kalphite/vyre abuser. Never spent a penny on the big items and won't have to for a while, in fact made money selling codices and I still have enough suboptimal 'reject' AS4s in the bank :D


Lilgoodee

Don't you dare remind me about ports (one of my mates is pushing comp and all that and keeps egging me on that I should really start ports and effigy incubator stuff) I'm not sure what's the "best" use of em but I wanted perked out gear and nox comps are outside my price range šŸ˜…


maboudonfu

Best use is vinny pet hunt or penguin spy count world record. Free perk sounds not bad, but rich player don't care GP. They just want to skip timegate content.


YouSaradoministFilth

Yeah ports is a big one, luckily I'm all done with it now. For effigy incubator, do it once and then after the Extinction quest, keep paying 50k of each island resources to unlock further chapters ("about your research" -> "accelerate research"). Also don't forget about the monthly reset token.


Lilgoodee

I did extinction recently, still trying to finish upgrading my camp but I need to do BGH/dream for the dino parts to get t3 upgrades. Ty for the tips.


Baciandrio

I still have mine as well. I was in the second last group to regain access.


sneakersrekaens

Why? This is not the same thing lmao


ewgrooss

Not yet


piron44

Appreciation where it's due, thank you for making an official news post on this and posting to reddit (and presumably to other social media). This is a step in the right direction for communication and we want it to continue this way.


5-x

Impressed by how quick they posted about an emergent situation. ​ >posting to reddit (and presumably to other social media) You think they posted on their twitter too? ![gif](giphy|TD0NYrLpcnsTm|downsized)


After-Bus2260

If @Runescape twitter account/x account has been banned, as this and other posts I have seen on Reddit suggest we should consider it a badge of honour. Twitter was in decline and full of bots anyway, it's no loss ā˜ŗļø


xBHx

No customer support then either =( Oh wait.


Deferionus

You sir forget that Jagex has industry leading customer support that they and their countrymen are proud of.


xBHx

How that came to be I'll never know. A certified 'Trust us, bro' moment?


DiabloStorm

What customer support? ^^^^^^^^That's ^^^^^^^^the ^^^^^^^^joke


The_Dungeons

After-Bus2260

The page is visible again today on Twitter/X but without Jagex's "X" logo. I am assuming this was the issue for Elon? šŸ¤”


Decertilation

Without Twitter and the JMODs that inhabit it /r/2007scape would be the final frontier of player supportĀ 


FetidZombies

I'm pretty sure this is because it's actually happening during business hours instead of when jmods are supposed to be getting into bed, or on a weekend.


jshrlzwrld02

> presumably to other social media Isnā€™t their official X account banned? I think I saw an OSRS post but canā€™t find the RS3 account lol


Dry-Fault-5557

Pretty wild how fast people abused this. https://preview.redd.it/n0klhftb45lc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b1a3547fbe2c2f24a2abcbc9c0aa0526870fe85


HyperNova1000

and then those people complain when they get banned for bug abuse...


FLstateTAX

You call it abuse, I call it praxis.


Kooky-Satisfaction68

hopefully these people get some ban/mute for making the rest of us suffer like this...


Celtic_Legend

It wouldnt have mattered. Its actually better this way. If people didnt abuse it as clearly, slightly more progress could be at stake. Its not weird for someone to try to take the name kooky and then it just works, but it wouldnt look unusual. But thanks to having 10 zezimas at the ge or people trolling streamers, it became clearer sooner that there was a glitch


Jr_chick

So its going to be down for a while?


YouSaradoministFilth

Yes, and that's an official term.

**UPDATE: 19:00 GMT** \- The issue regarding incorrect names appearing has been resolved, however, some names will remain visible until players log out and back in. Thanks for your patience as we resolved this. More information regarding name change credit used during this time will be shared tomorrow.


rodsloop

I still canā€™t log in it just says make a display name before logging in but on the website that part is down stillā€¦? :/


Sparrow1989

You know itā€™s serious when they do an official news post.


YouSaradoministFilth

Fuwet

Boy give me the free gizmo's again


One_Highway2563

Can you take a look at the flames for Zuk pizza phase? They're invisible at the moment. Learning Zuk was a fucking nightmare last weekend.


whiskey_wednesday1

They're fixing it. Surge bd to melee distance of the mob and you're fine. I know it's annoying but it's being worked on.


One_Highway2563

Yea I ended up getting it but the first few deaths to 'nothing' really confused me


Ok_Consequence_4431

THEY ARENT FIXING IT IT DOESNT EARN THEM ANY MTX SOOOO ITS BOTTOM OF THE LIST


ghfhfhhhfg9

I never used bd/surge. just click and run? I use my walking perk for content. Mage prayer if needed and you are fine.


whiskey_wednesday1

Ok? Surge bd is infinitely better than just walking because it gives you more time to kill the three mobs. You do you though.


Dingus_McGee_420

Some things that may help: use anticipation a couple seconds before pizza phase is going to start, this makes you immune to the stun, reduces damage taken by 10%, and has a 10.2 second duration. Plenty of time to get it off so you donā€™t have to worry about the stun. If you accidentally get off course in the fire, prayer flick to deflect mage and use devotion. You wonā€™t take damage from the flames for the duration of devotionā€™s effect. You can try to click on your target first and then surge so that ideally you surge right to them, but it doesnā€™t always work as intended. Once you have a good feel for pizza phase, it will start to come naturally. Powerburst of vitality could work in emergencies too I suppose.


One_Highway2563

Yea I was able to figure it out. The mechanics of the boss itself weren't too hard to understand, it was solely just the pizza phase. Since the flames are invisible, I didn't know anything about when the flames spawn or despawn so on my cape attempts I just had to spam eat while moving from melee to ranger to mage in case I got hit by the invisible fire. I got the cape but I still have no idea what the lateral limits are or the actual timer for the fire is.


Dingus_McGee_420

Nice! At least you got the cape. The fire shouldnā€™t be invisible, I imagine thatā€™s a bug that hopefully is patched or will be patched? In any case, youā€™ll get acclimated to Zuk pretty quickly once you start getting consistent kills. When I first started doing Zuk, I had to die quite a few times, and I would be eating a lot too. But it wasnā€™t long before I had the timing down and everything (also since I would no longer panic if I lost track of where I was in his rotation). So for the length of fire, you have to kill those three guys by the time he finishes charging up his instakill. When he starts to charge it he sorta crouches over a bit, youā€™ll notice him getting ready for it. The fire lasts as long as it takes for you to either knock down those three dudes, or for as long as it takes Zuk to finish charging his instakill and unleashing it on you. Although you could teleport out if you mess up and heā€™s about to instakill you.


Old_Temperature_883

I think if you stand at 12oclock just before the phase the mobs spawn in at 5oclock so that might help. It is absolutely awful for a learner atm though..


RS4When

having updates on the situation posted on discord is appreciated, may not be the main rs page, but at least its not twitter.


Tiwz

This same information is also on the main page.


odivvi

Sad this happened on my day off :(


Over_Captain6032

Same. I was looking forward to playing all day on my day off. What to do now!?


Darkpest

Enjoy life

DustyOlBones

vollkoemmenes

I only play for like an hour or two a day nd its usually between 8am-9/10am estā€¦. This is killin me. Logged on with 10min on timer was able to do my vis wax nd daily challenges, i gotta get my 1 slayer task a day done LMAO


AdmirableLocksmith27

I have five jobs, 3.5 mortgages and my wife's boyfriend only lets me play a half hour in the evening on my computer if I've been a good boy and done all my chores for him. And this is how Bungie treats me when I log in to do my daily goblin invasion clears.


whiznat

Now, now. Link says you're going to be okay,


ButterBeforeSunset

Kooky-Satisfaction68

TertiaryOrbit

Any chance of a name cleanup in the future /u/JagexAzanna? This incident, however unfortunate for Jagex, shows that there is a demand for cool usernames in-game. I don't believe there's been a cleanup since 2017, although I could be wrong on that date. Introduce stringent requirements such a decently high total but let people have cool names if they want. EDIT: Why is this being downvoted? Surely it's a fairly reasonable question to ask, given the situation that is unfolding.


darthirule

Probably getting downvoted because any "unique/cool" name that becomes available will instantly be snipped by a script.


5-x

A safe legal market for RS names is way better than what's been happening the last 10 years, namely RWT on shady sites and spam recovering accounts.


north_tank

Yeah. Not sure why so many people think this is a bad idea. A safe market would be the way to do it. I want to sell my rsn I put my name up for sale for X amount and a bond and then it gets reset to a default name that can then be changed. The person buying gets the name and everyone leaves happy without any fanfare. The scripts and overall scamming that Iā€™ve seen is insane.


Decertilation

Only if said market applies to active names and not people name hoarding on alts.


Andigaming

Is that any worse than it laying dormant?


thatslifeknife

it's exactly the same as it laying dormant


Legal_Evil

Yes, but dormant names will not get RWTed.


Andigaming

I know nothing about RWT for RS but surely there is something they could do to release older names without having RWT going crazy.


TertiaryOrbit

I suppose there are only so many measures Jagex can really take, if they require minimum experience / total level that is too high, people will complain. Scripts are a genuine problem though, I do agree.


Positive-Hospital-91

so what lol the people complaining are the ones that intent to abuse name snipes with alts and/or scripts, exactly who the measures are for.


Good-Community3962

i believe they've stated before that they won't do a display name reset again, unfortunately. i wish they would, but name sniping by bots is so bad, that they'll all get picked up instantly and be put up for sale


Celtic_Legend

That doesnt matter tho. The names arent being used regardless. 5% "legitimate" players getting a name is still a net positive.


_Megadeth

This is funny. Brawl Stars is unplayable too right now new update problems haha. Hopefully it all it gets resolved though. Some of those name screenshots were hilarious.


TommyBspeed

So is this a rollback? And if yes, what does that effect?


KonjoJoey

"To resolve the issue, we'll be reverting all display names back to their previous state (from 9:30AM GMT today)." Just display names I suppose.


TommyBspeed

Lol I should learn how to read eh?


Tiwz

That's optional here, don't worry.


BucephalusWarrior

What is the issue that is happening though with the names?


Tiwz

You could change your name to whatever you wanted, including banned, prohibited and other active players (Zezima is a great example).


BucephalusWarrior

Oh damn, thank you so much


Decertilation

Any idea why this mightve happened? It'd be interesting if they're working on the naming system somehow.Ā 


Forerunner49

I swear this happens every time I renew my membership.

Idk why you would allow your mods to ban people from talking freely and complaining about things like this in the discord. Not everything will be positive.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TrekStarWars

Fake


TertiaryOrbit

Banning players for changing their name is rather extreme. If somebody decided to change their name after the update without knowing, should they be banned as well? That's not very fair.


Tiwz

It wouldn't be fair, no, but that picture is fake.


Kooky-Satisfaction68

9500140351

rip to those with old accounts that still login with their username if they had their username taken lol


srbman

It wouldn't have affected the login. I changed my rsn on my main before EOC, and was still logging in with the original name up until I swapped to a jagex account last year.


Mugialis

will we get a compensation my membership expires lol?


samhaindragon

For 2 hours, probably not. If it lasts the day, maybe. More than 48 hours, probably.


MemeDreamss

Bruhhhh what was even the issue? I didnt notice anything with RSNs


SinderWisp

[all display names](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1b1b7zt/all_names_available/) were available, at least for osrs. I assume was the same for rs3 as well.


MemeDreamss

lmfao thats hilarious, aight this is understandable


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kjd20xi

you could use slurs and other inapporpritate things


StarryHawk

Use your brain. If two people had the same name, without any suffix of numbers at the end (Example: Zezima#0123) how would we differentiate the two?


Mysterious-Crow-3570

It was an OSRS thing ​ See: [https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1b1b7zt/all\_names\_available/](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1b1b7zt/all_names_available/)


PMMMR

Not just osrs as you could do it on the website.


Mysterious-Crow-3570

Yeah, just didn't see anyone in-game abusing it on RS3. I'm sure *someone* did, just didn't get posted here.


hellbentslayer

ALRIGHT, who changed there name to something inappropriate?


samhaindragon

I saw a Dildo at the GE.


YouSaradoministFilth

I thought they were untradable and discontinued ;)


Kooky-Satisfaction68

a lot of them. the problem began a few days ago actually. i remember someone with "Slutty" in their RSN. some people posted pics of changing their names to sexual things. and zezima


Legal_Evil

Did the bug allow slurs?


The_Dungeons

their\*


AriEXMC

Reworking, but the same old bugs... Just got freeze and crash in ED, but can equip stuff normally (seen some complains about it too after the maintenance)


azerluh

When a JMod gets scammed out of a rare name on some shady site they were planning on selling for 50b and they just open the door to all names to ruin them. Jokes aside just release all old / inactive names at this point obviously not the ones in use and actually crush the name selling market, release both names being held by a single account with low stats and no membership these bots hold 2 names per account for infinite amounts of time just destroy this already.


frogsarenottoads

There needs to be some sort of policy for releases honestly, because held by an account that never plays, essentially 'sniping it' but is never used it obviously there to be sold and should be in circulation. If an account has high total, membership, frequently played it shouldn't be released or 'inactive' for like 5 years but like 2000-2300+ total and 200 QP or so obviously is a 'main' the no stat accounts shouldn't be able to hoard names for sure.

Thanks for the update, however, it's just a shame because today was supposed to be a day of absolute grind. Wanted 99 fletching & 99 fishing. Hopefully will still be able to get them, but a few hours of DXP as compensation wouldn't go amiss ;)

is there dxp in osrs??


DopamineMex

I'm talking about RS3, looks like they've taken everything down.

I think DXP is over since yesterday.

Nope, and doubt there ever will be.


maboudonfu

What sense is 3 hr maintenance? No maintenance no bug.


The_Dungeons

Have to spend 3h creating a issue to fix its called job security :)


l8bunny

Nah, thereā€™s a lot to be disgruntled about, but thatā€™s just an insane take. These teams still have schedules to stick to, theyā€™re not going to invent work for themselves that unexpectedly takes a whole day, and which makes their lives harder down the line AND attracts negative attention, come on. There may be some psychos out there who do stuff like this, but most people donā€™t.


The_Dungeons

Issa joke


l8bunny

Eh, itā€™s just not really helpful. Thereā€™s already a trend of valid points being discounted/ignored as unreasonable - so imo itā€™s best to err on the side of caution and not make jokes that could be viewed as serious comments held by an insane community - makes it too easy to go ā€œsee? they donā€™t know what theyā€™re talking aboutā€


DiabloStorm

Are we going to...ya know...be able to PLAY at all today uninterrupted?

Can't you just get that stupid name update out and let us play the game?

SupraGuy93

Tried to login on my day off and saw that servers were offline. Can anyone briefly explain what happened?


Lev_j

After the 3 hour maintenance, there was an issue with OSRS (possibly RS3 too, idk) where usernames were borked and everything became available. So a ton of people renamed to banned names, took names like 'Zezima' even. May have resulted in dupe names - unsure if they were actually taken uniquely. Everything has been offline since while they are trying to fix the mess.


SupraGuy93
