Did someone fall asleep at the controls or something?

    The shops just went from 5:26 pm to 6:34 pm without a single restock. That's 68 minutes. I for one think that's a little ridiculous, considering that the shops are supposed to restock "every 8 minutes or so". Seriously, how do restocks work? Is it just random? Is there someone that controls it?

    It's random. That's why sometimes shops restock three times in 10 minutes and other times they don't restock for over an hour.

    OR you could be RS banned.

    Not RS banned. I just checked the Tiki Tack >_> But seriously, there should be a limit or something. Over an hour is just too long.

    I was just manually rsing in the pharmacy and grabbed a couple med soaps :p around 6:00, so I'm not sure what was happening. What shops were you in? Were you guys both using abers? Maybe it was some programming fluke or something, because pharm definitely rsed in that time.

    1. Shop restocks are random
    2. Different shops have different restock times (they are not coordinated)
    3. Shops very occasionally go for hours w/o restocks
    4. Check BD chat for updates on restocks

    yep zero nailed it on the head i constantly used to go on RS & Chat and there would be an "RS Drought" 3 times a day

    sometimes they go through all the shops and buy everything up because they think it'll cause another rs lol
