Old School RuneScape’s had a content update this week—Wyrmscraig, an island designed by a player that has a new quest, a repeatable boss, a cool sword, and so on. All the neat little additions you’d expect out of a patch. But some players have been running into an obstacle. Or rather, getting stuck between two obstacles. And by obstacles I mean shorelines.
See, there’s a dungeon called Wyrmscraig Cavern that can be entered by sea via the game’s sailing skill—but the river leading up to it is pretty narrow. And given sailing in OSRS actually simulates the turning time required for steering (in that you need to actually be moving forward to steer your boat), it’s very possible to get stuck.
“My friend got legit stuck in this spot unable to move and then 20+ people gathered around to watch and crack jokes,” writes user Joseei on the game’s subreddit. That same thread is filled with other examples of players getting their sloops wedged between the shorelines while dozens of players jeer from the beach.
Though my favourite is by far the one shown above, where some poor sod writes “helmp mee.” I’ve been there, buddy. Not literally, but spiritually? I’ve been there.
