I tried to follow that link and it seems Cloudflare blocked me. Don't suppose you know who I'd need to talk to to resolve that would you?

Did Cloudflare not let you pass with a captcha?

[–] melvisntnormal@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] melvisntnormal@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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!
