Second LMS & wilderness changes bughunter contest
Posted: Fri Jul 14, 2023 6:17 pm
It's been several months since the previous bughunter contest regarding Last Man Standing and the wilderness changes. Because of personal issues I was experiencing at that time, I never got around to actually handing out the rewards. This has now been rectified and the winners of that bughunter contest have now been declared and received their in-game rewards:
Now, on to the other business.
In my personal experience, updates like these are always packed with bugs that are often overlooked, even with a bughunter contest. As such, we are organising a second bughunter contest to look for more bugs within LMS & the wilderness changes. I'm absolutely certain they still exist, and I'd be surprised if there isn't a major bug or two still waiting to be found.
My apologies to @Nazuths for blatantly copying his previous news post regarding this update, but this time I will also be actively helping to fix the bugs and reviewing the content before its release on the live server, which we are planning to do within a few days after the bughunter contest is over.
To participate in the contest, simply download our test client (or the portable version) and try out all new features that come with this update. If you find any bugs (that are otherwise not bugs on the live server), please report it as a reply on this topic. Make sure to include your game username in one of your bug reports so we know where to add the credits at the end of the contest.
Note: We have copied everyone's accounts over to the test server (your progression on the test server has no effect on your production account).

Bughunter contest rules & guidelines
- Whenever you encounter an in-game bug, make a post about it as a reply to this thread. Please try to be as specific as possible so we can reproduce the bug.
- Make sure you include your in-game username in one of your bug reports, so I know where to add the credits (if you never state your in-game name in any reports, you will not receive your reward).
- The first person to report a bug gets the points for it.
- Known bugs or bugs that are also present in the live production server do not result in any points.
- Double posting in this thread is allowed. If you edit a post, all bugs in that post will be treated as if being reported at the time of editing.
- When two or more people work together to find a bug , they all get the full amount of points for it. Please give credit where due.
- Developers are excluded from the contest, as they have intimate knowledge of the code.
- You get points based on the severity of a bug:
- 1 point for minor bugs, visual glitches & unintended pvm safespots.
- 2 points for relatively minor bugs, things that don't work or don't work the same way as in OSRS, wrong ID's (for example an NPC having the wrong ID or being spawned in the wrong place) etc.
- 3 points for general bugs.
- 4 points for major bugs.
- 5 points for game-breaking bugs.
- 10 points for dupes or massive exploits.
