RuneScape Updates Delayed Indefinitely As Devs Focus On Restoring Affected Accounts

old school runescape nightmare ashihama bannerJagex continues the monumental task of restoring RuneScape and Old School RuneScape accounts affected by the ongoing login lockout issue. Last week, the developers

out their plans to fix the widespread problem which includes a beta test of their Account Integrity Review process. The beta starts today at 9am game time. Players chosen to participate in the test should have already received an invite through their registered email.

Along with the beta test, the team also hoped to resume their weekly update cadence this week. However, that’s been put on the backburner indefinitely following feedback and a show of solidarity from the game’s community.

“What we’ve seen tonight is a spirit among so many of you – impacted or not – that you want to stand shoulder to shoulder together with your fellow citizens and enjoy major content releases at the same time,” said Jagex. “I got this call wrong and thank you for letting us know how you feel. However, reflecting on this situation, we also know it’s important to the community that any decision to delay major game content releases does not come at the cost of any content plans for the year. This is a balance we’ll be bearing in mind and we’ve seen some great suggestions from all of you on where we can potentially draw that line.”

As promised, RuneMetrics subscriptions will be extended for a month and compensation will be given out once the issue has been fixed and all accounts have been restored to working order. The developers will also continue to give updates on the process.
