RuneScape Account Lockout Restoration Efforts Nearly Complete

runescape desperate timesIt’s been two months since the Runescape login server had a catastrophic meltdown which resulted in players being locked out of their accounts, missing items, and delays to the weekly game updates.

Over the past month, the developers have been trying to sort out the mess and have succeeded in returning most of the affected accounts to roughly their original state before everything went sideways. A few troublesome accounts, however, needed extra attention and took longer to be restored.

“As these accounts were some of the more challenging to restore, there is a higher potential for issues that need resolving,” said Jagex in their latest progress report. “If anything is wrong, please contact Aftercare to resolve the problems. We will do everything we can to restore or make good on anything that doesn't look quite right to the best of our ability, and as quickly as we can.”

Because these accounts took a month longer to be restored, they will be receiving extra compensation in the form of two additional “Returned” packages, one extra Wish, and two free months of membership for active subscribers.

The team reports that only a handful of accounts are waiting to be restored and thanked the community for their support.

“Once again, we can't thank everyone involved in this phase of the Lockout enough for the support and understanding we've received. We truly appreciate you,” they said.
