Just reporting a bug a few people already have: made a group, invited everyone, then we got force logged, booted from the group, and none of us can rejoin. Really annoying considering we've paid for Membership and everything.

We're actively investigating this, apologies for the inconvenience.

Ok_Performance1

Lost the hc Status, You cannot change your group Iron mode because you’ve already been in a group? Anyone else getting this

We're actively investigating this, apologies for the inconvenience.

Re-logging should allow you to create a new group. Going to the Hardcore Armour Crate (found on The Node, east of the statue) should allow you to re-select Hardcore.

We're still investigating the issue causing groups to crash. In the meantime, could you try the following when creating a new group?

• Hopping to a quieter world.
• Having everybody be completely still whilst the leader is creating the group.

We know the above isn't ideal but it'd be helpful to see if this helps/

Created our group then got kicked. Relogged and recreated out group then went to mainland. Once there, it says we are unable to pick up items as we recently left a group. Whats the timer for this to wear off?

(As a sidenote; we also lost all of our tutorial island items when we came to the mainland, but this is less of an issue as most can be easily reclaimed elsewhere)

Got this as well. We left The Node because the fourth time we made the group, everything appeared to be working properly - everybody had individual prestige and we had group prestige. After we left, though, three of our members lost all of their tutorial island items however and have all of the trade limits because they "recently left a group".

Would it be possible for me and a friend to start our GIM now and later this evening invite our friends to join? or do we all need to be on from the start?

That is possible yes! You will just lose group prestige if you add a new member in.

DKwins

Should I wait to have everyone in the group before I start? Do people or join late get punished long term or just the 4 week trading limit?

If you want to maintain Group Prestige, you'll need to wait until everyone is in the group before you start.

If that's not something you're interested in then by all means go ahead and create it now, though you'll need however many players you intend to have in your group ready to help form it. You can then invite new members to the group once those who helped you have left.

Any new members added will be subject to the trading limits as you pointed out.

Hadez192

Just curious why would we have 1 account focus on slayer until 91 or 95 slayer if we can't even share the items because of some arbitrary rule about needing to kill the boss at least once on each account? I see why you want to implement this, and I think it should only apply to raids and nightmare. Items such as pegasians, Dragon hunter lance ect should not require every account to have killed the boss once. That takes away from the idea that we are focusing on different aspects of the game. Even in general it kinda ruins the fun because now everyone has to trek over to kill a daggonoth king instead of having one guy just camp to get B rings for everyone. It seems like it'll ruin the flow of everyone focusing in different areas of the game. Please consider changing this rule, I dont remember seeing it previously.

These restrictions only apply if you're wanting to trade items outside of the original members of your group.

For example:

Your group consists of 3 people, all who were present at the time of account creation. Player 1 gets 95 Slayer and obtains an Abyssal Whip. They can then trade that whip to Players 2 and 3 freely, with no restrictions.

Player 3 then leaves the group and is replaced by a new member. This new member now has trade restrictions and must kill an Abyssal Demon at least once before being able to equip the whip from Player 1.

Sun-sational

Still can't create Group, game keeps kicking us out. Any fix??

Re-logging should allow you to create a new group, so try that first. We believe that relogging onto a world with less members should minimise the risk of being kicked out.

Also, would recommend that all members stand still when re-forming the group. We know this is not ideal but it's to minimise the issue of crashing.

Eccentricc

did minigame teleport go away? How do I get past whitewolf mountain without dying at lvl 3?

It still exists, it was just moved.

If you go to the GIM symbol (or clan, whatever you have open at the time) which is right next to the :) icon, you'll notice a new icon on the far right of that tab called "Grouping".

You can select the minigame teleports from there!

Yeah you can increase the size of your group, but you're unable to decrease it.

The new member of the group will be subject to trade restrictions when they join though, so keep that one in mind!

If our hardcore group losses all our lives, do we also immediately lose prestige? The news post says that you need to lose all your lives to invite a new team member, but I don’t see anything about losing prestige when hardcore status is lost (sorry in advance if I’ve missed something).

You can only lose Prestige from inviting a new member into your group. If your group were to lose all their lives, you'd go down from a Prestige Hardcore group to a Prestige Iron group :)

Have been going back to the node to invite new people to our group, and some of us are hardcore, some aren't. Also, the group size has remained at 2 despite having 4 people in the group. the group IM armour also is stuck and shows II for all

Hey, would you mind sending me some further information?

Your RSN's would be great to know so I can pass them over to the team.

Do I have to choose between GIM and HCGIM at the Iron npc before travelling to the Node? Or it may be changed on the Node too?

And another thing... just an observation. It seems the Tutorial island is the only area which one can log into right now. I repeatedly fail to login both on my main, and on an F2P alt. But my Tutorial newb can log in/out normally, any time. Not in any group yet though.

There are crates on The Node near the tutor there that allow you to select between normal and HC GIM!

I am so excited for this. I don't even play much anymore, but I like to watch a lot of Youtube content. I love the ironman mode, but after seeing how long it takes most content creators to get many of the items, I simply cannot justify putting that much time into it.

Really looking forward to what Mudkip in particular is gonna put out. Apart from him, Settled and Slaybrothers, do you guys have any other content creator that I might find interesting?

I'm really looking forward to watching the progression of:

Faux/Roidie/MMORPG/Mr Mammal

Skiddler/Purpp/Ron/EVScape

anyone know if it's possible to create a group to save a group name, and then return to The Node later to fill the remainder of the slots?

members of my group have day jobs and won't be able to play for 9 more hours, but I'd like to get this name saved for the boys

EDIT: Looks like modsween says "Don't leave Tutorial Island for the time being."

Yes it's possible, though you'll need at least one other person to help you create the group.

One thing to note though. Any new members you invite to the group after it has been created will be subject to trade restrictions as outlined in this post: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/group-ironman?oldschool=1

Hi Jmods - we're a 5 man, been trying to make a HC group iron for the 2 hours. As soon as the group gets formed and we try to confirm it as 5, it fails and we all get force logged out after 15 seconds. Can you please advise? Feel free to PM - thanks

Re-logging should allow you to create a new group, so try that first. We believe that relogging onto a world with less members should minimise the risk of being kicked out.

Also, would recommend that all members stand still when re-forming the group. We know this is not ideal but it's to minimise the issue of crashing.

If group is already made, we're all on node and none of us has been kicked is it safe to leave the node? How can we know when it's safe to leave the node?

Yeah if your group has been created then you're safe to leave.

The issues relating to staying on The Node are for those who had difficulty creating groups and were force kicked off.

Is Barbarian Assault included in the prestige losing group activities? Since it would require 5 people, that would mean prestige groups under 5 people would not be able to complete it. Having a full list of group activities that break your prestige would be much appreciated.

Can confirm Barbarian Assault will NOT result in the group losing group prestige if you play it with people from outside of your group. Enjoy!

Having issues with Group storage. Our whole group gets ''The system is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later."

Is this a general issue, or just for us?

Currently, the Group Storage function has been temporarily disabled. We hope to update you all shortly.

Can we please improve the GIM storage? 80 slots for 5 players is horrendous.

I've noted this as feedback! Cheers. Thank you for raising it to us, I'll chat with the dev team to see if it can be increased but I won't know if this is possible until we catch up as a team.

Any rough ETA? It's been a while

A hotfix has been deployed and Group Storage can now be accessed once again :)

A permanent fix is being worked on, but it won't be available until next week. Until then you'll just have to keep refreshing or hopping. Really sorry about that!

Are RuneLite features broken for everyone now? It said things might not work properly until an update, but I thought I’d still have most of the features.

Probably a noob question, but I haven’t played in years til about a week ago.

If you haven't already, try reloading the client :)

can i join my friends group if theyve already left tutorial island?

Yes you can, but you'll not have individual prestige. This means you'd be the one person in the group that is subject to trade restrictions listed here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/c=wiIgdthZP-U/group-ironman?oldschool=1

Can we get the option to completely restart an account? (or at least a rollback for all group accounts?)

It wasn't until this morning that we were told you can't add a new member to a 2 person group to make a 3 person group. I've wasted a 6,000 day old account because of that...

You can add a new member to a 2 person group to make a 3 person group.

The newest recruit would be subject to trade restrictions listed here https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/c=wiIgdthZP-U/group-ironman?oldschool=1, and you'd also lose group prestige.

Why do I need to wait 18 hours, get 10 questpoints, and 50 skill levels to trade with other members of my GIM group if we're all fresh accounts? What kind of shenanigans are they expecting me to get up to with two level 3s?

We actually made a hotfix to remove these restrictions for group members, are you still experiencing this? Will make sure to enquire with the team

Hi Mod Light, reaching out to kindly request a list of activities that could affect your prestige status. Thanks

Hi, certainly. I will clarify this in the game update newspost next week but the exhaustive list is CoX, TOB and nightmare. Also raids 3 when it releases. You will receive a warning ingame for any activity you’re doing with people that might affect prestige status

Update October 11th 16:10

Work continues to reopen the Group Ironman shared storage system as soon as possible.

We're confident that we've solved the root cause of potential issues, but we'd like some more time in testing.

Thank you for your patience so far. We'll have more news to share tomorrow!
