Almost all worlds are back online, we're working to get the last remaining ones back online now.

Update 12:08 Game Time

All worlds are back up, our sincere apologies for the disruption.

In the light of this mornings events, we will postpone the maintenance to tomorrow at 14:30 Game time instead. Now there is a bit more notice we hope to get a news article informing everyone of this maintenance as well.

Update 13:45 Game Time

For those interested in what caused all the worlds to go offline, we identified (and now resolved) the following issue:

As part of some general maintenance to our monitoring processes, it was possible for the server to get in a state where it could not find the right information and as a result it would fall over. This was not caught during development because it could only exhibit this behaviour in a specific scenario on our live run-time environments.

This is also our latest status update as the issue at hand, the server disruption, has been resolved and all servers are back online.

Who spilled their mountain dew on the servers again?

if we spilled a drink, it must be our English breakfast tea obviously.

Nice to see a post on it, I wasn’t sure if it was just me so hopped on here and got everything confirmed!

Just thought I’d ask, is there a RuneScape “Status page” anywhere?

I hope you’re able to get it fixed soon, but definitely more important that the fix is thought out and thorough, than quick and rushed.

Looking forward to RS being back up and running so I can snipe an Inq Staff piece while sat at work! 😂

We don't have status pages, but at times like these, I wish we had them.

The more you upvote this thread and Poerkie's comments, the more I have to hear about his Reddit karma on this Zoom call. For the sake of my sanity, please stop xD

Did you leave Stroopwafel crumbs all over the servers as well?

There are some claims out there it is the case, but I'm 100% convinced that is just a conspiracy.

I thought I could smell burning coming from the servers

Then I realised I'm working from home, and that I just ruined half a pack of bacon

Goddamnit

Please hurry, I'm being forced to talk to my clan members.

Our Jmods understand your pain and they've worked very hard to let you play and access our game again as quick as possible, and with result.

You should be able to login now and no longer will be forced to talk to your clan mates.

You mean proper tea, nothing like you Dutch lot drink! I'll tell you what I moved to the NL years ago and I still can't get my head around how you drink this pickwick stuff! ;)

We'll have this conversation at a different time during a Skill & Chill livestream, because there is a lot to say about why picwick is actually the perfect tea.

Whos that one player in world 1 tho 👀

I actually asked the team this question now the servers are backup, but there wasn't anyone on World 1.

it most likely represented the fact that there was 1 player left when the update containing the numbers of players got send during the reboot. When all worlds went offline (crashed) there were no updates containing the numbers of players online being send anymore. Hence it said there was 1 player on world 1.
