Update 3 - So it seems like most regions are coming back up but there's still some areas which are having issues, we're still looking at them and I'll update when it's fully fixed. Thank you for your patience

Update 2- I think a fix is identified and we're running some checks on it. No ETA but once they tell me it's working I'll let you guys know

Edit - After running checks on the fix, there still looks to be an issue, so we're back to investigating and getting a fix sorted. sorry for the inconvenience caused

Update - I think a fix has been identified and we're running some checks now. I'd expect it to be ready soon but not 100% sure.

Edit - Looks like there's still an issue to be fixed so still investigating.

Hey guys, we're investigating the server issues at the moment causing players to not be able to log in. I'll update as soon as I know more!

- News module is also not working- It also looks like our Payments system isn't working

Update: We had a fix which was in testing, however this didn't seem to fix the issue so we're back to investigating a fix and I'll update when the team has let me know it's working.

Hey there. We're having some servers issues at the moment causing players to not be able to log in, so I suspect it's that. We're currently working on a fix and we'll update you when we know more.

I think this is affecting mobile, too. It's happening with our newsposts and payments systems and things like that. The team is working on it! We think it's related to some planned work we did, not too sure yet. I'll let you know when I know more

Thanks for pointing this out! We've put this together ourselves so probably a few typos and issues here and there. I've corrected what I can see! :) <3

😂 oops. Will fix this lol

Hey there! I believe more stats will be shared as they come available in a Gazette or a more dedicated blog. Our data team is still building out the dashboard of data and we need to decide what will be player facing from that information.

The full list of items being sunk should be available on the Wiki: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:Grand_Exchange_Tax_%26_Item_Sink

As for the second question, we now have a dedicated PvP team that will be looking at updates for the next year specifically catered to PvP. These things will take time to get right though because there’s a lot of complexity to it.

Quick update.

We had the Blood Spawn changes noted down in this newspost so they should've been out already.
However, the Nylos giving MVP points in certain rooms were supposed to be going out in this newspost but I can't see it written in the newspost. So I'll ask the team to confirm what's happened and update you when I know more.

Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to discuss this topic, it can be a difficult one so thanks for sharing.

Yep! There's a "Skilling Update" planned which should involve a Skilling team that looks into QoL or improving a Skill/Piece of content focused on a Skill.

Thanks for explaining, I enjoy the constructive discussion on this even though I don't do a lot of PvP myself and I'm not great on the subject. Overall I still feel like we're on the same page with it. If you break down what Kieren said, he's pretty much confirmed that the surveys we ran about PvP told us exactly what you're saying. Players don't enjoy unequal fights, getting piled on by clans, and then they don't want to fight back as a result. Meaning, it's not fun to be a pinata for most people.

He then goes on to talk about the Wildy changes we made recently (the anti-Skulltricking measures and changes to the PJ Timers as an example), being an example of trying to get more disengaged players willing enter into the Wildy on their terms. And hopefully in future we'll get them wanting to fight back. That is intentionally vague because it's going to have a PvP team working on it closely and working with the community on feedback - we don't have all the answers right now.

I totally get what you mean, but it also seems the devs agree with you - they think that we can change that dynamic to encourage more players into PvP.

Q&A Summaries won't work well if people only cherrypick the sentences that they want to hear, so please do read the full answer if possible :D

I've asked in our QA channel about it. Some members of the team are off due to the holidays so it might take longer than expected. I'll give you guys an update when I know more.
