they could at least move the islands farther away...

Saying the ingame "credits" don't have any real world value and comparing it to monopoly money is just blatant ignorant...

So if you give a copy of your house's keys to someone you think you can trust, but they end up stealing some of your stuff and giving it away, you should be partially guilty?

I hear the admins are controlling our thoughts through our computer monitors

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that we just recently came back from around a 37 hour downtime.  This was not planned by us (otherwise we would have told you in advance!), but was due to a hardware failure on our server and our provider being unable to replace it in a timely fashion.

On Tuesday evening at around 21:40 UTC, one of the routers at the datacenter was hit with a large DDoS.  This attack wasn't aimed at us at all, but rather at the router itself (motives unknown), and along with a few other clients, caused our IPs to stop routing correctly.  This was the initial cause of the downtime.

Within 5-10 minutes, we were back up again after the router had recovered from the attack and then our primary networking controller on the server physically failed.  We have redundancies built in to combat situations like this, and what simply should have happened is that the connection fell back to our secondary networking controller, and the server continued as normal until a hardware replacement could be sourced for our primary controller.  What actually happened was that the network connection fell back to our secondary controller, and then within 15 minutes, our secondary controller failed as well, leaving us completely without networking, and in what was, given the chance of these failures, an unprecedented situation.

This was diagnosed and our ISP informed us the server would have to undergo a full rebuild as the networking is contained on the motherboard.  They completed this pretty quickly (it was diagnosed and rebuilt within 16 hours), but they then informed us that the server room we are located in was full and they were having trouble finding a spot for a new box.  This is what took all of the further time, while we were waiting for them to free up space.  Eventually they found us a spot and re-provisioned the server, and here we are back again.

So, apologies for the downtime, but it was a little out of our control!

I think Mercifull has a fair point, whilst the magazine is still in active print and on sale to post scans of the articles online is kinda akin to pirating the content and potentially detracting from the magazines sales.

Once it's out of print and only being sold sporadically through back-orders it's less intrusive to their business to share the content freely.

They missed a chance to do a decent mining and smithing update. Instead more lame, usless, limited time sof items.

Still can't figure out how to add more of the old tabs, but will get around to it.

However, found this gem:



IMPLYING

Why would I need to list the specs when I said they had the same specs? I think you're just an Apple fanboy running out of arguments.

Runescape window should look like this



Because some people are stuck with fixed screen and god forbid someone gets an advantage.

well, at least now we know why the ships keep getting wrecked

Gotta love the produce interface

The armour requirement is still a measure of games won rather than contributions within those games. A better way of combating loafers would have been something similar to the zeal requirement in Pest Control, or to make it so players who deal more damage/score more points receive more tokens.
