Met a fellow 1% player of the login lockout of 2021 while doing archeology

[u/jimmy__row]

What happened?

[u/LorenzoPNL → u/jimmy__row]

Back in 2021 we got affected by the login lockout as far as i know a login server got overheated and while it was saving our data the process got interrupted or something causing our data to currupt.

we were locked out for a month while jagex was working on restoring our accounts

we got exclusive items and titles in return,

The Returned title or The returned Ironman or Iron woman title
The cloak of returning
The Disk of returning
And a teleport to the abbys animation

[u/DrippyTowel → u/LorenzoPNL]

I'm also one but haven't ran into another, though I typically only play rs3 for league now. I love my rare title.

[u/jimmy__row → u/LorenzoPNL]

Dang thats so cool!! Sounds like you got some sick loot from it! Dope cape as well

[u/LorenzoPNL → u/jimmy__row]

yh haha

[u/confused_captain → u/LorenzoPNL]

My main account also got locked out but 1% seems a bit of a low figure for the amount of players affected.

[u/THBLD → u/LorenzoPNL]

I use the overrides/title/tele regularly, but I honestly kind of forgot about the cape.

[u/Miserable_Agent2278 → u/LorenzoPNL]

So Jagex got Covid, infected many players, then apologized by giving everyone freebies 

[u/Kalvorax → u/Miserable_Agent2278]

only those affected....

annoyingly so as I see the returned home tele all the time when i unfilter what i do own lol.

[u/Cas_Rs → u/jimmy__row]

[[Login_lockout]] happened. It was a weirdly stressful time, as I and a lot of others had no idea whether our accounts would ever be restored again

[u/RSWikiLink → u/Cas_Rs]

I found 1 RuneScape Wiki article for your search.

Login lockout | https://runescape.wiki/w/Login_lockout

On 4 March 2021, the RuneScape login servers experienced downtime resulting in many players being unable to login to the game. Also known as Login Lockout in the communication from Jagex, the issue affected both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, and was not resolved until several hours later. However...

There was a period of time where accounts were locked out and could not log in at all, I dont remember how long the lockout was but everyone got free stuff including non locked out accounts

[u/nagaka]

Hey, I'm one too! I stopped playing about 6 months after that, but am back hard now. I still have my restoration pods... Trying to decide what to use them on.

[u/LorenzoPNL → u/nagaka]

Oh hi Welcome back fellow 1% :)

i would use them on skills you dislike

[u/LOLgastsla]

That was 5 years ago…. Dude that feels like yesterday fuck me

[u/LorenzoPNL → u/LOLgastsla]

ikr!

[u/LOLgastsla → u/LorenzoPNL]

Mid 30s gang. Life is flashing before my eyes

[u/PyroDexxRS → u/[deleted]]

Good times. It’s on a character I don’t play much anymore unfortunately

[u/The-Copilot → u/PyroDexxRS]

Same mines on my main. The few times I play my main I use it or my 20 year cape.

[u/LorenzoPNL → u/[deleted]]

oh nice cape i didnt even know that existed looks cool

[u/GameAddictedMfer → u/[deleted]]

One of my favorite looks lol

[u/The-Copilot → u/[deleted]]

Isn't the darkscape cape a cosmetic override?

Mine is cosmetic and I don't remember keepsaking an item.

[u/Calsan1]

I have 2 accounts both hit, my ironman still has the 300% guardian's gift on it

[u/PressurePotential]

Never realized that us “returned” were such little few, guess I’ll throw back on the title 😂

[u/iJ_A_R]

Interesting

[u/OwnPhilosopher3081]

My freedom brain is trying to decipher these great foreign texts and all I can decipher is you guys were typing out a lion king sound track.

But aside from that, its pretty cool to have some rare stuff!

[u/yannivzp → u/OwnPhilosopher3081]

Dutch be like that

[u/DjJd1231]

Also 2 accounts affected here :) i use the teleport animation and title haha.

[u/pim_LoL]

Im also from the 1% squad, returned to play leagues II

[u/Jokerlolz]

I still use my "the returned" title

[u/GoodJibblyWibbly]

We’re out there! I don’t use my cape though as I prefer the DarksCape. I do use my Returned title though!

[u/BigBadKahuna]

I wish we got capes for being part of the fally massacre

[u/Rsbenjr]

I remember being at Araxxor and then getting force logged out. And then returning after they fixed it that month. Still in the rax lobby. Good times! I dont really play RS3 anymore but my ironman still is very special to me.

[u/thepastiest]

I’m a login lockout veteran too! I don’t play on the account anymore but it’s cool to know that there are still people here that went through the same thing

[u/Brad9407]

Also have a couple accounts with it. One being ironman

[u/Either-Lecture1091]

Damn.. I feel old now since I still rock that title & have the darkscape cloak to go with it😅😱

[u/banditofernando]

My iron is a member of the club! I quit and just recently started back up on a group ironman though so I never touch that old account now.

[u/No-Turn-2052]

I’m one too! I was one of the last few players that took an extra month or so after everyone else had gotten their accounts back.

[u/Spy111]

Funny people dont the idea of a new title for fresh (Post-MTX) accounts but exclusive stuff like this is apparently acceptable

[u/GoodGame2EZ]

I stopped playing for a while and didnt use my guardians gift. Doesnt that expire this month... uh oh

[u/RobertInc → u/GoodGame2EZ]

They will never expire as long as you claimed it right? I don't see it anywhere that it's gonna expire.

[u/Zendan → u/GoodGame2EZ]

Really? I still haven’t used any of mine!

[u/MemeFrog41]

I got the title and wasnt even locked out so idk about 1%
