This is what MMOs were made for: dev declares "there has been a calamity at the Crab" after 3 hardcore players who purposely gave their characters one life somehow die to a harmless crab boss

Old School RuneScape gemstone crab in front of a crowd.

Update: There has been an update at the crab. By which I mean "there has been a calamity at the Crab," as Old School RuneScape studio Jagex announced.

It would seem that in just days, three different players on Hardcore accounts, which lose their Hardcore status if you die a single time, have somehow been killed by the game's new gemstone crab boss, which was specifically designed to deal next to no damage to players. Worse still, two of those people were playing in Hardcore groups, meaning their fellow one-lifers can now bully them with crab jokes until the end of time.
