May 10, 200620 yr Jagex recent news post: 10 May 2006 - Internet broken... It appears large chunks of the internet are struggling at the moment. Our guess is a major internet backbone somewhere has broken. Our servers and their connections are actually working ok. The problem isn't at our end at all. It's bits in the middle of the internet that seem to be giving up. Ok - own up who broke the internet? If you are having problems try using a different world, until you find one which works ok for you. I actually find it quite funny. They sometimes make jokes about how people who are new to computers say "the internet is broken" if it doesn't work on their computer, and now Jagex uses exactly the same wording :lol: Runescape: Lodev (Combat level been fixed at 101 for years now, Total level 1500+, playing since march 2002)Arenascape: Lode (Level 240+ Warlock)
May 10, 200620 yr Hmm that "Ok - own up who broke the internet?" is almost worth quoting - gotta love Jagex sense of humour! ~Ian Retired Tip It Moderator | Zybez Radio DJ - Listen Here

May 10, 200620 yr Hehe, what the smeg is this? :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
May 10, 200620 yr I don't quite understand this... who's supposed to fix the interenet o.O No one owns the internet... right? Oh well. If none of the pages are loading, anywhere on the internet, try restarting your computer. Thats what I did, and it worked.
May 10, 200620 yr I don't quite understand this... who's supposed to fix the interenet o.O No one owns the internet... right?Wrong. Where the bloody hell are you?
May 10, 200620 yr Ok - own up who broke the internet? *cough*GerogeW.bush*cough* "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
May 10, 200620 yr I don't quite understand this... who's supposed to fix the interenet o.O No one owns the internet... right?Wrong. the government will be fixing it, and the country where its broken (or multyple places) will be fixing it with tax money, so if its in US. then your taxes will be spent, haha! o wait, thats me...

May 10, 200620 yr Read here to find out about who owns the internet: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/Ning/archive/archive/127/lessig2.pdf Or alternatively, go here, and click on the map in the centre to open a PDF file and find out exactly who owns the internet :lol: http://blogs.cio.com/node/209 But to answer Jagex's question, it was me. I didn't break the internet, I simply turned it off. Go here to find out what the hell I am talking about! http://www.turnofftheinternet.com/# On a more serious note, I have searched high and low, and have come to the conclusion that Jagex are having us on! Unless the problem lies with one particular ISP, I cannot find any evidence anywhere to suggest that the Internet is 'broken' 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength
May 11, 200620 yr With the majority of local country/state servers, Runscape ought to be relatively unaffected by international link problems, though perhaps the login server is central. As the internet was initially "designed", it was supposed to be resistant to connection failures, by having multiple links and the freedom to route around damaged ones. As it is NOW, it is mostly based on commercial "peering" arrangements, or link traffic purchased from the cheapest provider... the internet isn't broken, but the bit your ISP or the host at the other end pays to use is down. Where backup links are provided, they are usually of inferior capacity - or if an equal split is made, then losing one link means losing 50% capacity. The thing which really hits hard, is a USA centre or link problem, as it is generally the hub which connects geographically seperate areas. The internet SHOULD be a mesh, but it is organized commercially more like a hub or point to point system.
May 11, 200620 yr Sorry! Sorry! :oops: I was fiddling with that light switch that seemed to go nothing. Guess I know what that does now.
May 11, 200620 yr "Ok - own up who broke the internet?" siggied You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."
