Old School RuneScape temporarily changes death penalty on account of DDoS attacks The brutal DDoS attacks which may have hit RuneScape Gold within the past week have caused the developers on the 2007-era edition to change death mechanics till the threat has transpired. This "temporary change" to death mechanics allow players a half-hour to find out and retrieve their items over and above PvP combat; in PvP, the penalties stay as is also.
"Even with this particular change, we may strongly suggest Buy RuneScape Gold that one does not partake in dangerous or high-risk content for example PvP or advanced level PvM, and since always, don't risk anything you aren't prepared to lose whilst these network issues are ongoing," the devs cautioned.
