RuneScape is set to increase bond prices next week. Additionally, the development team has temporarily shut down Australian servers due to issues at their data center.
Starting June 25th, RuneScape players will face higher bond prices. While monthly subscriptions, RuneCoins, RuneMetrics, and Treasure Hunter keys remain unaffected, bonds, used to extend gameplay time or traded on the Grand Exchange, will undergo significant adjustments.
Jagex, the developer behind RuneScape, has released the new pricing details, with rates set at £5.99 in the UK, $8.99 in the US, and €7.99 in Europe per individual bond, along with bulk purchasing options at discounted rates.
Concurrently, the team is grappling with challenges at the Australian data center, prompting the temporary shutdown of servers in the region. This precautionary measure aims to prevent potential data instability that could lead to player item losses. As they work on resolving the issue, Jagex advises Australian players to connect to servers located on the US West Coast as a temporary alternative.
Despite ongoing efforts to rectify the issues, a recent update indicated that Australian servers will remain offline for some time. Nonetheless, the team remains optimistic about restoring stability to the Australian servers and aims to bring them back online soon.
For players experiencing latency issues, FPS drops, lag, packet loss, jitter, or disconnects, a recommended solution is NoPing.
