OSRS servers are UP.

Jagex's world list shows 68,770 players across 347 of 352 listed worlds, which indicates the game worlds are online. That is our reading of the list — we don't test logging in. If you can't log in, try another world first.

04 / TROUBLESHOOTING

What to do if OSRS is down.

  1. 01
    Check the world list.

    If Jagex's world list loads and reports players on worlds, the worlds are listed as online (this is not a login test). Try a different world if the one you picked is full or lagging.

  2. 02
    Check for a weekly update.

    Jagex usually takes the game down briefly for updates; the news page and @OldSchoolRS announce them.

  3. 03
    Restart the client.

    Close the official client, RuneLite or the mobile app completely and log in again.

  4. 04
    Test your own connection.

    Try another network. If only one world fails, switch worlds.

05 / COMMON QUESTIONS

OSRS server status FAQ.

How do you know Old School RuneScape is online?
We read Jagex's official world list every 5 minutes. When most listed worlds have players on them, we show the game as online and add up the players. That is our reading of the list: it shows the worlds are running, but we do not test logging in. If fewer than half the worlds have players we show Degraded, if none do we show a possible outage, and if the list can't be read we show Unknown.
Is the OSRS player count for all platforms?
Yes. The world list counts every player on every world, whatever device they use. That is different from Steam's number, which only counts players who launched the game through Steam.
Why is a world missing or showing no players?
Worlds can be closed for updates or restarts. A missing world is not the same as the whole game being down.
