No ETA as yet. /u/JagexDoom is in a call with the team working on the issue and will keep you updated along with Azanna.

Sorry to hear this. We did send an in-game broadcast out about avoiding in-game activities - out of interest, did you catch it?

It's something we've been trying to do as a team to minimise this stuff happening, but keen to hear if it's easily missed honestly. Would be good feedback for us.

I'd say if the intent is to automatically log people off, could you not apply immunity and then teleport everyone to a safe place automatically?

Otherwise I'd say those normal in chat notifications aren't that obvious. Something like the update notification timer at the top of the screen with a message might be more suitable and obvious.

We didn't log people off - would have been a countdown if so.

I also did not see it, but honestly a broadcast like that is impossible to notice at most bosses since a lot of bosses spam your chatbox.

Thank you for the feedback. Might be a system we need to look at improving then.

Telling us to avoid dangerous activities via in game broadcast is one thing.
To disconnect everyone without a warning is another.

You tried I guess? rip to the ironmeme anyway

We didn't log people off - the issue escalated and forced people out. We'd have down a countdown timer and server shutdown otherwise.

no, i didnt see it. i was on brazilian server also, and no one from my brazilian clan saw the broadcast also

Thank you for the feedback! Especially good to know (in a sense) that it didn't hit non-EN worlds. We can look at getting some Localised phrases to use in these situations next time.

The broadcast should override chat filters, otherwise you could miss it easily

Yeah this is a great feedback. It's not on our development plan, but it's good to take note of these situations in case we get the opportunity to look at our comms systems one day for improvements. Thanks for the response.

Suggestion: the broadcast should not be able to be filtered at all. I saw it on my iron because I happened to have broadcasts toggled on. Didn't show up on my main because broadcasts were off. It should even bypass "Game Messages Off".

Also potentially make it a top level icon similar to the XP Live button or the System Update notification.

Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback - we've grabbed some notes on this. Might be something we can look at development wise one day for an update if the opportunity arises.

I did not see any in game broadcast. And am I going to be looking at the website while in combat?

Definitely not - it's why I was keen to get feedback on if it was seen. Sounds like a lot of people didn't catch it or have it filtered so you're not alone - something for us to look at. Appreciate the response and sorry about the disruption.
