Im gonna laugh so hard if i can just log in with rsbuddy in 5 minuten cant wait

Hardly unlikely seeing as though "reflections" won't work, even if they can find a way around it, they won't find it within 5 minutes of the update.

EDIT: 40 members and 22 guests viewing this thread...wow!

Don't hype up bot creators that much, they might not find a way to tackle Jagex this time, just wait and see before getting too cocky, Jagex can do some good stuff sometimes, hence why they are so successful.

Update: http://services.runescape.com/m=news/bot-nuking-day-making-runescape-fairer-and-more-fun

We’re confident that today’s update will break the vast majority of bots in the game at the moment, but we still need your help in keeping RuneScape a fun and fair place to play. To help you help us we have implemented some enhanced reporting functions:

You can now right-click on a player’s name, or a line of their chat, to report them. This will make it easier to do and will help eliminate errors in reporting botters with hard to spell names. This can be enabled through the in-game options screen.
The “Report Player” button will now open a summary of recent chat, so you can easily select the part you’re referring to.
If you’re in a dangerous area and you need to report a player using bots or bugs to their advantage, you can now log out and send a report from the lobby.
We hope you all have an awesome time during this momentous week and we look forward to seeing you slaying slavering beasts, hunting fallen stars and dominating Castle Wars and Soul Wars!

Welp my bots got banned gf runescape was fun.

 

[Mr Slaughter]

LMFAO. 0 people currently online.

Good job Jagex.

 

[Mala]

Can't log into the servers.

This looks promising.

 

[Punkerpunk13]

Rs hasn't come back online, can't expect bots to work yet.

 

[malyce]

If Jagex was McGuyver they could fix the bot problems with a paperclip, a turkey baster, and a rubber band. Jagex sucks.

Survivors! Report in!

 

[jolter]

Ooh this is so intense LOL. I'm staying up just to try see what's happening. Got school in a few hours..

 

[HAXORDELUXE]

it will be interesting to see how many people are online after update, did anyone catch the pre-update numbers? to compare with post update numbers can give a good sample of the rs population that actually bots (that is - if jagex's claims are true)

 

[Mr Slaughter]

No survivors atm.
