In order to preserve player saves both Old School RuneScape & RuneScape will be performing a rollback. All OSRS player progress will be reverted to a snapshot from 15:40 UTC, just before the incident occurred. Worlds should start appearing back online in approximately ~5 minutes. The game was taken temporarily offline shortly after 17:00 UTC while we resolved the underlying reason for the connectivity issues. Find out more: osrs.game/Game-Status

PSA: We are continuing to investigate the connectivity issues between our Core (which handles persistent game data) and Game Worlds. The problems are affecting connectivity between all Worlds and our backend systems, for both OSRS and RuneScape. To protect the integrity of game state, we have taken both games offline. We'll look to provide an update in the next 30 minutes, while we work towards a fix.
