Changes to Teleblock and Extra Clan Wars Options

Changes to Teleblock and Extra Clan Wars Options
This week brings the remaining polled changes that were discussed in the State of PvP blog in May.

Clan Wars: Extra Options

We have added multiple new options when setting up Clan Wars games:

  • Leaving channel - This setting can be used to toggle whether players leaving the clan chat are counted as a death or not.
  • Re-joining - An option for rejoining a clan chat during the game which would include "Unrestricted" or "60 second limit".
  • Team Cap - An option to cap group fights to the following:

    • 5v5
    • 10v10
    • 15v15
    • 20v20
    • 30v30
    • Uncapped

Teleblock Changes


Killing the player or NPC that teleblocks you now removes the teleblock effect. A player who successfully removes their teleblock this way will not be immune to another.


DMM Summer Finals

The Summer Finals are now underway with the top players from the Summer Season currently competing for $32,000 in prize money.

Mark Your Calendars
  • The Permadeath stage begins at 8pm BST on Saturday 29th June.

  • As with the previous Spring Finals, the 1v1 section of the Finals will include the last 256 surviving players of the Permadeath stage, rather than 128.
Where to Watch the Finals
The Deadman Summer Finals brings with it hours of content to watch and enjoy. Get to the Twitch directory and you'll find lots of dedicated Old School streamers broadcasting the slaughter of their enemies. Watch the action of the Summer Finals Permadeath stage from the official OldSchoolRS Twitch channel.


Account Security


The Player Support team recently posted an Account Security Blog (the second in a series of four blogs) to examine security measures they are working on now and plans for the future. If you haven't already, make sure to give it a read!

The PvP World Rota is switching over to Period A. On the east of the Atlantic, host the Bounty Hunter world (W18, UK) and the High Risk PvP world (W43, Germany). On the west of the Atlantic, host the Standard PvP world (W24, USA) and the F2P PvP world (W117, USA).
  • Larran's keys will now always be lost on death. They are also destroyed slowly if dropped manually, similar to Deadman keys.
  • The antispam teleport system applied to teleports from the spellbooks in PvP worlds has now been extended to teleport tablets, the Amulet of glory, and the Games necklace. This will be monitored and added to more places should it be necessary. The message displayed has been modified to be more helpful and is no longer filtered.
  • The player Demilancer has been added to Watson's list of clue scroll contributors.
  • The in-game world map now shows the rivers Hos and Dougne.
  • The welcome screen will tell you the time since your last session more accurately, after you've logged in and out one more time.
  • Players trapped on F2P worlds near the top of the lava dungeon ladder in the Wilderness can now escape.
  • The penguin island that can be accessed through the fairy ring code AJS is now a multicombat area. This has been changed to counteract the Hosidius rework nerfing bird tasks assigned by Turael.
  • Jimmy Dazzler no longer deforms horribly while trying to wave his hands about.
