Nope, just straight up blocked

Oh sorry, totally forgot, we blocked UK users from accessing the website to avoid a Jagex lawsuit. If you're on Linux you can still play the game via Flatpak

Oh okay, fair enough. Out of interest, what does Jagex have against the Brits?

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

They're based there, and an international lawsuit is magnitudes more expensive so it's unlikely they'll do one.

We'll probably unblock the UK from seeing the website though, our friends (i.e 2004.lostcity.rs) haven't blocked the UK and are doing great

Wow, TIL, thanks for the info!
