It's just their homepage that's down. The GE, Hiscores, Adventure Log, etc all work. Anything on services.runescape.com is functional it seems.

My guess is: The timer has ended and they are updating something.

Might be a trap to see who would be playing rs after their client and website are both down. Seeing as the client still works, could be a way of determining who is botting and who isn't…:o

According to their Twitter, they don't know what's up.

I'd lol if someone actually caused their site to crash

The game is screwing with me… Logged in, played for 3 and a half minutes, crashes, logs me out. Tried logging in again, says needs to log out of previous session. Hate when this happens!

J@gex is playing around with the botters.
Basically since you cant go to rs homepage and click play to load client, and bots just go straight to client,
my solution is: they want to see who's botting.
I doubt it, they won't crash their website to see who is botting, it's just an error of them. I suppose you could play with rs client 2 so… apparently nothing related to bot
