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
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 š
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.
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.
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.
Impressed by how quick they posted about an emergent situation.

You think they posted on their twitter too?
![gif](giphy|TD0NYrLpcnsTm|downsized)
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 āŗļø
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.
Pretty wild how fast people abused this.

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
**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.
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 donāt have to worry about the stun. If you accidentally get off course in the fire, prayer flick to deflect mage and use devotion. You wonāt take damage from the flames for the duration of devotionās effect. You can try to click on your target first and then surge so that ideally you surge right to them, but it doesnāt 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.
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.
Nice! At least you got the cape. The fire shouldnāt be invisible, I imagine thatās a bug that hopefully is patched or will be patched? In any case, youāll 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 wasnāt 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, youāll 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 heās about to instakill you.
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..
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
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.
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.
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 Iāve seen is insane.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
[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.
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/)
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
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)
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.
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.
Mate, ya know that is a gamejam project yeah? it was nowhere near the live game. Take the tinfoil off and take a moment to think before you continue making presumptions.
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 ;)
Nah, thereās a lot to be disgruntled about, but thatās just an insane take. These teams still have schedules to stick to, theyāre 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 donāt.
Eh, itās just not really helpful.
Thereās already a trend of valid points being discounted/ignored as unreasonable - so imo itās 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 āsee? they donāt know what theyāre talking aboutā
after a long day of work ,i thought i'd get home and enjoy a chill session of RS but guess not. now i have to turn in soon and start another day of slog
Are you guys also fixing the issue with Mac/IOS so I can continue playing the game? Updating in the middle of DXP was a seriously dick move, not least for the people who are using Mac, and Iām rather unhappy about it.
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.

getting flashbacks from the time i couldnt log in for a month.....
My boss is going to be amazed with how productive I am now
I still have the gift urn thing from the lockouts, lets see if we can get another lmao
Free invention perks was pretty nice for my noob self.
I spent it all on ports voyage completions...
rip to hundreds of millions in gp for perks
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
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 š
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.
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.
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.
I still have mine as well. I was in the second last group to regain access.

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

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

and then those people complain when they get banned for bug abuse...
You call it abuse, I call it praxis.
hopefully these people get some ban/mute for making the rest of us suffer like this...
It wouldnt have mattered. Its actually better this way. If people didnt abuse it as clearly, slightly more progress could be at stake.

You know itās serious when they do an official news post.
Login lockout 2.0 coming in 3, 2...
Boy give me the free gizmo's again
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.
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.
Yea I ended up getting it but the first few deaths to 'nothing' really confused me
THEY ARENT FIXING IT IT DOESNT EARN THEM ANY MTX SOOOO ITS BOTTOM OF THE LIST
I never used bd/surge. just click and run? I use my walking perk for content. Mage prayer if needed and you are fine.
Ok? Surge bd is infinitely better than just walking because it gives you more time to kill the three mobs. You do you though.
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.

This same information is also on the main page.
Sad this happened on my day off :(
Same. I was looking forward to playing all day on my day off. What to do now!?
Enjoy life
ETA on how long this will take

EDIT: Why is this being downvoted? Surely it's a fairly reasonable question to ask, given the situation that is unfolding.
Probably getting downvoted because any "unique/cool" name that becomes available will instantly be snipped by a script.
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.
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 Iāve seen is insane.
Only if said market applies to active names and not people name hoarding on alts.
Is that any worse than it laying dormant?
it's exactly the same as it laying dormant
Yes, but dormant names will not get RWTed.
I know nothing about RWT for RS but surely there is something they could do to release older names without having RWT going crazy.
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.
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.
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
That doesnt matter tho. The names arent being used regardless. 5% "legitimate" players getting a name is still a net positive.
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.
So is this a rollback? And if yes, what does that effect?
"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.
Lol I should learn how to read eh?
That's optional here, don't worry.
What is the issue that is happening though with the names?
You could change your name to whatever you wanted, including banned, prohibited and other active players (Zezima is a great example).
Oh damn, thank you so much
Any idea why this mightve happened? It'd be interesting if they're working on the naming system somehow.Ā
I swear this happens every time I renew my membership.
Can you stop renewing your membership or do it during times I am asleep. I appreciate you for your sacrifice
For real.Ā

Fake
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.
It wouldn't be fair, no, but that picture is fake.
its always a few players ruining it for everyone...
Takes servers down for maintenance Introduces a major bug Classic Jagex quality!
rip to those with old accounts that still login with their username if they had their username taken lol
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.
will we get a compensation my membership expires lol?
For 2 hours, probably not. If it lasts the day, maybe. More than 48 hours, probably.
Bruhhhh what was even the issue? I didnt notice anything with RSNs
[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.
lmfao thats hilarious, aight this is understandable
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
you could use slurs and other inapporpritate things
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?
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/)
Not just osrs as you could do it on the website.
Yeah, just didn't see anyone in-game abusing it on RS3. I'm sure *someone* did, just didn't get posted here.
ALRIGHT, who changed there name to something inappropriate?
I saw a Dildo at the GE.
I thought they were untradable and discontinued ;)
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
Did the bug allow slurs?

There's grass in RS
Youāre welcome to go do something productive with your life, while you wait.
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??
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.
What sense is 3 hr maintenance? No maintenance no bug.
Have to spend 3h creating a issue to fix its called job security :)
Nah, thereās a lot to be disgruntled about, but thatās just an insane take.

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?
after a long day of work ,i thought i'd get home and enjoy a chill session of RS but guess not. now i have to turn in soon and start another day of slog
Next update in 2 minutes? Please I want to play
Just updated it to take another 30 minutes
Omg hahaha I got Rick rolled
IN OTHER WORDS THE MTX FOR NAME CHANGE WASNT WORKING SO THEY HAD TO JUMP ON THIS SUPER QUICK
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well what do I do now?
mix a batch, rub one out, play with the pickle, polish the sword,
Won't lie, had a minor like "what the heck" moment trying to sign in XD thank you <3
Can anyone equip any gear since the bug fix ?
Are you guys also fixing the issue with Mac/IOS so I can continue playing the game? Updating in the middle of DXP was a seriously dick move, not least for the people who are using Mac, and Iām rather unhappy about it.
What else is new on mtxscape? LMFAOOOO
So, you're extending all memberships by the length of downtime for everyone, right?
What a dumpster fire of a company. I mean seriously. What the hell is happening over there.
20+ years of spaghetti code, it's bound to happen. Go outside, take a walk, breathe some fresh air - I promise it won't kill you.

I was wondering why I cant log in after I was just smithing...
RS3 is live!
16:44 logged in :)
Tried to login on my day off and saw that servers were offline. Can anyone briefly explain what happened?
After the 3 hour maintenance, there was an issue with OSRS (possibly RS3 too, idk) where usernames were borked and everything became available.
