Earlier in April we announced (under: Forthcoming Changes) that our SysAdmin team would be undertaking heavy maintenance work to our network and hardware at various hosting facilities. On Wednesday 25th April, at 7:30am BST, maintenance work will begin at the facilities which host some of our USA worlds. On Tuesday 24th April, at 12:00pm BST, we'll be changing most of the impacted worlds that have activities restricted to them on to another world so they are still available during the maintenance window. 

Server Maintenance: Wednesday 25th April
On Wednesday 25th April, at 7:30am BST, 22 USA-based Old School RuneScape worlds will be offline for a period of 8 hours. You'll be able to continue to play on worlds hosted in other locations during this time. We do appreciate your patience, whilst it might not be ideal to play on a world hosted else, the maintenance work is essential.

The worlds affected are: 1, 5, 14, 21, 22, 29, 30, 37, 45, 46, 53, 54, 61, 62, 69, 70, 77, 85, 86, 93, 94 and 117.


To ensure most world restricted activities are still accessible during the maintenance window, the following changes will be made on Tuesday 24th April at 12:00pm BST:

World 22, which hosts private Castle Wars games, will be moving to World 20.
World 37, which hosts High Risk PvP, will be moving to World 39.
World 45, which hosts Permanent Deadman Mode, will be moving to World 47.
World 53, which hosts 1250 Skill Total, will be moving to World 55.
World 61, which hosts 2000 Skill Total, will be moving to World 57.
World 85, which hosts F2P 750 Skill Total, will be moving to World 82.
World 117, which hosts F2P PvP, will be moving to World 118.

The above changes will remain in place until the game update on Thursday 26th April, after which point all worlds will return to their usual world number.

There is planned maintenance for worlds hosted in other locations, and we'll continue to inform you well in advance.
