I guess they never do... Its just thing that made me sure its not a mistake,so I dont really care why... And btw,Im not going to waste my time on runescape anymore because I know that f2p isnt that great,and I dont want to spend time on a game that brings me no future So I guess i quit Edit: From what I understood it wasn't just my country,it was series of countries I think,but not quite sure,and I cant even guess why

It is not a mistake,I just recieved an email from Jagex as a responce for email I sent to them: My email (sent on 12th july): " I have recieved an email telling me that there are financial sanctions affecting my country,and that I am no longer able to subscribe for a membership I have been member for 6 years,and I live and play in Serbia.I would like to know if this was a mistake,and I would like to see more details on this,and the reason why such action has been taken? " Responce (received on 13th July,day later) " Thank you for contacting Jagex Billing Support. I am afraid that we are duty bound to adhere these sanctions in a number of countries worldwide.

Um no. The reasoning clearly says that due to financial sanctions on the current regime, Jagex cannot offer member services to him anymore. Serbia was sanctioned before, but definitely not right now. Legally, Jagex CAN provide this user members. It's a MISTAKE for sure. Well seeing as the last time I can find that Serbia was sanctioned was 1992, and dracula has been a member for 7 years and has not received this message before, there must be some reasoning for the messages recent creation in the first place, right? It's not like these things just appear out of thin air. The financial sanctions they speak of likely have to do either with their national currency, trade deficit, or outstanding debt. Also it could be some trade embargo that the UK put into place with Serbia.. I'd like to think that this is a mistake, but it seems to be an odd case and i would assume all Serbs are being denied membership... not just this individual.. why would they deny membership (revenue $$) to anyone without a good reason? They'd probably be pretty reluctant to edit their code to do this and I can't imagine them "accidentally" doing it.. I can't imagine them accidentally doing it nether But I will see...

Do mistakes like this happen? I wanna see if other people had similar issues,or plz name any jagex mistake that u had seen according to this Also I wanna know if there are people who got same message by any chance

I wonder If this had happened to other players aswell if its a mistake?' Check jagex box on startup display plz

yes,i misunderstood,just remember there was something by the end of this year,so it was for visa thing THX

I sent an email questioning about this action just minute ago From what I know Kosovo isnt recent thing,and I cant think of something that is recent This is frustrating Edit:Im very dedicated in runescape,and this just cuts me off for good,just like that :shock: Edit:I just tried applying for membership again,and I get same message displayed telling me same thing from email,shorter version Well, I'm telling you that it must be a mistake. Make sure Jagex understands you are a member from Serbia.. the only thing that I could think that could happen is their system is confused as to where you are from.. something may have happened with your IP possibly. If there were international sanctions against Serbia, Jagex would have no choice but to comply with the UN, or UK/EU laws regarding sanctions. But there are no sanctions against Serbia (it's not 1999!), so it must be a mistake.. Unless Jagex is playing political games for some reason.. regarding the Kosovo independence issue. But that would be pretty ridiculous... and I doubt it would happen.. Its not my IP for sure Other than that,personally,I think two possibilities are on: 1.Mistake 2.Economical reason applied FROM my country because of economical crisis,or from Jagex side,but strictly political-economic reasons that affect money loss and economy,not other things like in 1999 and Kosovo (alredy late for that to be recent).The only confusing thing at this part is the fact that my country is in a huge progress this year and it is expected to join the european union by the end of this year almost 100% ! .. Other than that,I question ,how come I had membership for 6 years back,and now they do something. So the only thing i can think of is economical crisis thing since my country is not involved in any other happenings Edit: THIS part is scaring me the most: We have given your account 30 days of credit as a gesture of goodwill, however when your membership expires you will not be able to re-subscribe using any payment method for the foreseeable future

I just checked,its not a mistake :(... I am going to check again in next few days,maybe they messed something up. This seems ilogical to me

Serbia is progressing up the way to the union,so I really have no clue,other than that,It has been accepted by PayPal,and its under the process of accomplishing an agreement,however this is going to happen in next couple of days/or months,so Im going to try it than But isnt presenting false information somewhat ilegal? and I think they can always check country you are playing from,cant they? I want to see more people comment on this

Should I try changing my bank account or something? or it affects whole country? .. or maybe its a mistake? IDK its economic crisis,i really dont know what to think this is really odd

Its really impressive how people mention it twice,and they dont even explain I wouldn't bother to actually make a post if I dont make a full sentance explaining the idea By the way,you can make money by mining coal.It is very wanted in market.Get high mining enough and than get into miners guild inside fallador (dungeon thing under east bank)

I know jagex nerfed something last week,but im not quite sure what... I wonder,do people still get high rewards if they give 27k to other person,and kill him with no armour or food?

I must agree Altho its nice to show off drops no matter what
