Hope everyone has had an amazing week while the server was down. I know many of you were missing 2009scape and I'm happy to say we are back and now with a new update. To apoligize for the down time we are giving five credits to each person who claims them in #claim-to-fame in discord. Under the community tab on the website you can find links to discord. If you do not believe in the politics of discord here is a link to the #claim-to-fame for matrix.

I wanted to point out that we hardly ever have down time this was something out of our Host's control and this isn't a common thing that happens so do not worry one bit.

I would also like to state that x10 & x20 accounts will have a postponed squish for the five days that were missed due to the server being down. The new date for the squish is October 11th instead of October 4th.. If you are not aware of the squish you probably weren't here for the news post so it won't really matter for your account.
