How many runescapers does it take to fix a lightbulb?

50, 1 to screw it in and 49 to complain that it was better before.

It closed about a month ago I want to say.

 

 

 

 

We have temporarily closed the entrances to the Bounty Hunter craters while we fix a few problems with it. Broadly speaking, we are looking to fix the following issues:

 

 

 

* The level-matching system wasnt working at all well, with players often ending up in unfair battles they were unlikely to win.

 

* With the launch of PvP worlds, Bounty Hunter suddenly became less populated, which meant the bounty mechanic stopped working properly. We still love the idea of a bounty mechanic with players being given targets, but we think it can be done so much better, especially given what we have now learnt from PvP worlds.

 

* Real-world trading was occurring at quieter times of the day.

 

 

 

Dont worry, Bounty Hunter isnt disappearing forever - were just disabling it while we fix the problems. Bounty Hunter will be back. :)

 

 

 

 

No ETA on when it will be re-opened though, at least not to my knowledge.

Last I heard it was going to be the whole Wilderness and not use craters.
