Is Brighter Shores down? Server status & maintenance monitoring

Brighter Shores, RuneScape creator Andrew Gower’s new MMO, was released on November 6 as a free-to-play title and shares many similarities with the latter.

As with all massively multiplayer titles, game servers can be temperamental, especially during early launch periods. Routine and emergency maintenance can and will interrupt availability, so here’s everything you need to know about Brighter Shores’ current server status.
