RuneScape has had a rough month. The MMORPG has been dealing with log in issues that have plagued the game since the beginning of March, with the team working to resolve the issue for those affected accounts. Today the team posted an update to help affected players get a glimpse into the learnings from this month, plans to restore accounts and compensation for those affected.
RuneScape fans have had a rough few weeks, and while many are still unable to access their accounts, Jagex is planning on releasing its next update on March 29th with plans to compensate those who cannot log in still at the time.
It's been nearly two weeks since Jagex confirmed, and addressed, that there has been a widespread Login/Lockout problem in RuneScape, preventing players from getting into their account. To combat these issues, the team at Jagex has put together a game plan, which started with disabling some accounts while they gather analytics that will help them restore all accounts to their rightful, working order.
Over the past week, the team at Jagex has been diligently working towards restoring RuneScape accounts that are unable to login to the game. Executive Producer Ryan Ward addressed the community late last week, and let them know that restoration has begun.
The ongoing login lockout problem that RuneScape has been dealing with warranted a live stream earlier today, where a number of JMods, that included the Executive Producer Ryan Ward, Community Manager Liam Ashley, and CEO Philip Mansell, addressed the communities' concerns.
RuneScape has been having ongoing login issues since March 4th, and while the team initially believe that they had squashed the problem, new problems have surfaced, worrying players about their accounts.
