Today was the much-vaunted launch of Old School RuneScape’s Leagues III event, a seasonal progression event in which players are challenged to take on the game’s leveling process in a new way. It was followed almost immediately by the rollback of OSRS’s Leagues III event due to an issue with the save profiles, which is sort of the exact opposite of what you want when you’re announcing a new time-limited competition. “Everyone come take part! Wait, not yet, actually.”
Somewhat fortunately, it appears that the rollback will only be a slight issue and for main game progress, so while the score table will be reset League progress should be retained. That’s still a messy change, however, and it means that the big event meant to start today kicked off with some pretty notable issues. Something less than a rousing endorsement for the new event, then.
📣 Due to issues with League save profiles, we are going to be shutting the game down very shortly.
Unfortunately, we are required to perform a rollback to just before the launch of Leagues III.
Apologies for the inconvenience and we will update you with more information soon.

UPDATE: We've identified that the rollback will only be required for main game progress, setting players back to just before the update.
The Hiscores for Leagues will be reset, but all progress made on a Leagues world will be available when the game is back online.

Happy 'Scaping!
