Just recently I was runecrafting nature runes, back and forth between the altar and the general store. When i first started running i had about 2900 essence on me. After a while I took a break and came back to run more. Since that return I have played at least a couple of hours and I specifically remember my noted essence go under 1000. A while after, soon after the show I was watching while playing finished, I went to check the highscores for rune crafting as I do very frequently. To my surprise, the highscores on the website read about 345000 experience while in game i was showing about 356000 experience. Wondering if maybe there was a problem with the highscores, i attempted to communicate with Francis who was showing up online, asking him if the highscores were working. After a minute or two with no response, I quickly took a picture of my stats afraid that I might lose my experience upon relogging, and sure enough, I did. After relogging, my experience showed what the highscores showed, and the players that had appeared on my online list before, were completely different.
I can't understand how it was letting me play on the server, getting xp, and making nature runes and all, without being online. I also remember having to load new parts of the map as I ran back and forth with the nature runes, so I don't know how I could have been loading the map as well without being online.
The main reason I am upset about this is because the 2 hours or so that I spent running nature runes are basically gone now, and it doesn't sound very exciting for me to have to get that back.
This is the screenshot I took moments before relogging.
Thank you.
