Seems like it's not actually fixed?

Different issue but the team has tracked down the cause of this and are working on a resolution.
Hey, sorry for this. We've isolated the issue to the empty runepouch not calculating its value correctly. To anyone reading this, please avoid taking an (entirely) empty runepouch to any dangerous activity. A hotfix will resolve this as soon as possible
Edit: this is now hotfixed
I thought it was weird you weren’t mentioned in necro video credits
I'm not on the necromancy team! Have been working on mostly Fort Forinthry last year or so
Side note: hang in there lil buddy
It had to be moved down since the bit sticking up would be cut off otherwise :(
What happened to nr 14?

In case anyone was hoping to see something about a Golden Cape Hunt re-activation, we wanted to let you know these discussions are happening right now, but we haven't been able to confirm any plans in time for this Newspost.
We are currently investigating the possibility of enabling the Golden Cape Hunt again this weekend and hope to confirm whether or not we can do this as soon as possible. The team are very much eager to make this happen in response to your feedback, but with so much going on at the studio - especially in the buildup to Necromancy - we need to verify if we can fit in the development and QA time to do this unplanned work. Unlike the Hotfix, any reactivation or extension has a lot more potential for things to go wrong that we need to check.
There is a chance it may not happen, but we wanted to let you know the team are pursuing it. We'll let you know either way once we have confirmation from the team.
We're delighted to confirm that we are go for bringing the Golden Cape Hunt back over this weekend, beginning on Friday and ending on Sunday. This will be the one and only extra chance to participate in the event - no further extensions.
All your progress from the event will carry over to this weekend. If you destroyed Shards, you can reclaim them at The Wise Old Man as you could during the event.
This will require a Coldfix to implement. We haven't nailed down timings on Friday - but once we do, we'll be sharing this news more broadly with the rest of the community so you know when to expect it.
For now, we just wanted to let you know we are able to make this happen and we'll have more to share firmer news on it in the near future once everything's finalised.
HOTFIX: We will be re-enabling Death Costs after fixing a bug with Death Cost valuations at 14:30 Game Time (in approx one hour).
All players should be conscious of Death Costs if engaging in dangerous activities.
We will continue to deploy in-game broadcasts at 15 minute intervals up to the deployment of the Hotfix.

External link →Sorry took a while to notice, thanks for the response. What happened is that I used my Gmail adres to make a Jagex account. But here you have 2 options. Type in the adres or use the Gmail button. I typed in my Gmail adres, but that does not link it to the Gmail button. Hard to explain, but hope it is clear. I can login now, but I need to typ my mail adres, instead of using the Gmail button.
It's confusing.
No problem.
So it sounds like just a misunderstanding of what that button is on your side, when you create an account with an email address that's what it is and it can be any email provider.
When you click the Google button, that's creating what we call a "Google social network account". This uses some behind the scenes magic with your Google account, rather than your Gmail address.
An easy way to understand might be the fact we also have Facebook logins available, while we don't have a login button for Outlook emails.
Also worth saying and being clear, you haven't created a jagex account if you're logging in with Google. You may have linked a Google account to an existing RuneScape character which itself is linked to a Jagex account, but to get the full jagex account benefits you should log in with an email address and MFA.
Is that clearer?
RIP to the people who destroyed their shards already, lol.
You can reclaim them from the Wise Old Man at the GE entrance if we reactivate it. That was already a feature of the event thankfully!
Can we get any news on changing the 120 all master capes to not have quite so many colours in the particles? ID be happy with just an all gold/silver version tbh, but as it stands its tricky to find an oufit to go with all the colours
I believe Ramen is playing around with Master Cape particles for Gamejam which is next week so there is work being done on it but no ETA or timeline on when this would be.
I'm going to get downvoted to oblivion but seriously though, some people procrastinating until the last day of an event and then crying over the fact that they cannot participate for 12h of said event and demanding an extended weekend is really going over my head right now. Some of the Reddit posts I've seen would need to gather 5-6 shards in the last 24 hours, which with some of the bad "5 hours per shard" rng and considering these people need to sleep wasn't even remotely possible anyways. I can't believe that you guys are even wasting time considering this.
We look at it differently here, which is more about people's availability and how an issue disrupted people's precious time that may have been one of their only opportunities of the week to finish it.
The timing of the issue meant some folks who only had Saturday evening in the US to finish the hunt were not able to do it. If we can, we want to give that opportunity back to those players who might not be able to play during the week - and had consciously planned to use the time they did have on the weekend to complete it.
Even beyond that, there were players who chose to spend their Saturday evening in RuneScape chasing these Shards that unfortunately would never drop for them due to the bug - which is not the experience we should be delivering.
It's a different situation than folks just not being able to complete it in time, purely due to the issue that could be why they didn't.
