The shutdown come as the unsupportedRuneScape Classiccontinues to rack up young bugs . Jagex explained that these issues get up from " bots and lack of community safety tools " in add-on to the fact that the biz is capable to be maltreat by macro tools .

It should be noted that this does n’t impactOld School RuneScape , which is the 2d iteration of the MMORPG that is ground upon how the biz was in 2007 . Jagex will continue to support that version , and are even working on an iOS porthole of it .
