Old School RuneScape players are getting their boats stuck Suez Canal-style thanks to a narrow river in its new island: 'Helmp mee'

An old school runescape screenshot of a player on a boat that's stuck between two shorelines writing "help mee".

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.
