Old School RuneScape.
This morning marked the launch of Sins of the Father in Old School RuneScape, the latest quest opening up the city of Darkmeyer. Darkmeyer opens up a number of new shops, amenities, enemies, and skilling methods including the Hallowed Sepulchre agility course and the essence mine.
Mike Donatelli product director of Old School RuneScape stated;
“The Myreque is a dramatic storyline and one which is close to many players’ hearts. It is one of the oldest and longest quest series in game, and players have enjoyed unravelling the history of the vampyres and the elusive Lord Drakan. As always, we have collaborated closely with the Old School RuneScape community throughout the development of Darkmeyer, with an emphatic vote of ~90% of 55,000+ polled players backing the quest.”
It also suffered a minor setback at first launch. Head over to the news post and you’ll see several hours of updates. Turns out that the update corrupted item IDs meaning people were logging in to find that some of their items were being replaced with other items. No bueno.
So 13 minutes after launching the update, Jagex brought the server back offline and instituted a rollback to prevent people from losing their goods. The update was fixed and apparently only 846 unique accounts were affected by it to start with. The update is live and people are enjoying it.
