Lol. I got it back. It wasn't one of my friends... They make fun of me for playing. I have his addy from the, 'You last logged in from:'. His PC is as good as dead. The good thing about working for Symantec (Besides playing 8 hours a day at work), I know all the security loop holes. :). He wasn't from my area.

This should be one of my happiest days in Runescape. I got 99 Hitpoints late last night. However, I logged in today to get, "Invalid username or password". Yup, my account was stolen. This is how it happened: -My PW was named after my GF. -I had a friend in-game with my GFs name as her username. -Instead of saying Christine, I would say "Hi, Xine!", since you can't say your PW in-game (Not that name, but good example.. Like Xmas). Someone caught on and guessed my PW. The funny thing is, he logged into my account a week ago only to erase my recovery questions. Once the recovery questions (Which took a week to remove) were gone, they changed my PW... Last night after I got 99 Hitpoints. GG 386M. Thank God BH is closed. There is still some hope that I still have my items...

TheDayRsDied, I know. The point of this topic was to put what they said to the test. They said they don't / can't just give people items. That they can't return items when they actually have in the past.

[hide=] Because it's impossible to track which accounts crashed because of this. I am sorry but I have to highly disagree. I used to run a massive online game where several hundreds played at one time. We were able to tell as much as what buttons they pushed at what time, how long they held it, where their camera angle was, etc. There are logs for this. Like I said, they could tell who clicked on a penguin. They can tell who typed µ. They can tell who died. EDIT: Plus, they would know which accounts to look into seeing as the victims could post for their accounts to be looked into. Not all mmorpg's are the same. No one but Jagex knows how much information they record on any given users. Typing something and clicking on a penguin in order to trigger an action are different. If they were stored similarly, then people wouldn't have been wrongfully (albeit temporarily) banned for trying to abuse the glitch, because they would've had the "Game" chat output to go by. [/hide] However, Jagex is a huge company that deals with a huge amount of customers and players. We were fairly big, but no where near what RuneScape is. I wouldn't believe for a second that we had better logs then Jagex.

Well, 3hitm4g3u, why can't they do a similar roll-back like they did with Summoning? No one lost levels. No one lost items.

They were willing to investigate 3500+ account for the Account Review Thread. They were willing to spend over a year and a half reviewing my account. I think it just requires time that Jagex is not willing to spend on this issue.

Well, consider this. 1.) Player_1 did in-fact use the bug to "willingly let themself get killed by a friend" or even to transfer their cash to another account. 2.) Now, Player_1 submits a report saying he genuinly lost his items (When he actually let his friend or other account kill him). 3.) Player_1's friend or his other account would be banned for bug abuse. It's a win / win scenario.

I see your points with: Which is why I said they would have to investigate. They could see if the person who died had any previous relation to the one killing. They'd be able to see if they died by the bug or not simply by searching their logs for µ. :P I appreciate your thoughts. Keep them comming.

I see a lot of arguements on the RuneScape forums about roll-backs due to the 'Crash Bug'. Jagex, however, says they do not interfere with things like that. They do not roll-back nor can they give or take items back. My point in this thread is not to argue saying that they should / shouldn't do a roll-back. I lost nothing so I could care less. My point is that they have done a massive roll-back in the past! Remember when Summoning came out? Everybody rushed to get it up, spending millions on shards. When they changed the price of shards, they gave everyone their money back, or gave them shards back! Can't do a roll-back? Really? And, when they did that, it wasn't like everyone lost the items they had bought and regained the items they had sold in that time. They could, in fact, roll-back or give back items to the people who lost them. Then they say that eople will claim that they have lost something when they really haven't. Well, the game has logs. For example, look at how they caught everyone who abused the penguins. They knew how many shards we bought with Summoning to get us our money back. It would just take time that they aren't willing to spend. They would have to invetigate each. I can garantee you there would be less then the amount of names submitted for the Account Review Thread which they claim to investigate each account. Post your oppinions.

I have lost alot of respect for Jagex in the past few months. Yeah, they've done some good (Like banning penguin abusers)... Like others, I am curious as to how badly they are going to screw this up and look forward to the entertaining riots. EDIT: Look at the current PvP worlds. They're bogus. It always great to kill someone skulled with full Bandos and get a few Pizzas and a Amulet of Glory.

They wouldn't IP ban because of families that play on the same computer. Ex. If my brother did it, I would get banned. THey wouldn't do it.

Update! Way back on roughly page 100, I posted a picture of me on my way to 1K Zeal. I'm using it to set the record for the most Hitpoints XP gained in a day (Hopefully 8M!). I will be jumping from level 93 - 99 and beyond! I almost panicked at the Soul Wars update this morning though.... I though they were going to change the XP rewards! The old picture: The update: Almost there! I'll be sure to post a video once I get it! I get roughly 50 (Often a lot more) a day. Who knows, maybe I'll save and get 99 Attack and Hitpoints with Zeal on the same day. ^^. EDIT: If you wanna play with me, I'm usually (99%) in World 2.

I'd be an extremely easy fix on their part...

Not new... The Yew tree in Edgeville.

You technically stay logged in, however YOU crash... If that makes sense. Basically same effect as disabling your network, except you don't log-out for a long time (5 minutes usually).

Lol. Knew it would only be a matter of time until it spread like wild-fire... EDIT: Public chat off while it's done will keep you safe. Sucks for the guy that I watched crash at GWD. >.<

Exactly why I love my job! When I have nothing to program (Symantec), I play RuneScape! I get a steady 7 hours a day at work alone. Lol.

I'm rarely on the losing team. There's a system that seems to always work for me: If blue team wins, all the nubs run over to blue thinking they're going to win again which causes red to win (Blue is full of nubs). It sounds ridiculous, but I always join the team that lost the last round. Most likely around 300 games. Lol.

854 Zeal. I will be jumping from level 93 Hitpoints to 99 and beyond once I reach 1K... Which will be very soon. My Soul Wars gear.

I highly think the respect that the Hitpoints cape and Prayer cape get you will drastically drop. After all, I'm planning on getting 99 Hitpoints from 93 Hitpoints in one day. I only need approximately 200 more zeal. :D Will they change it? Hopefully after I get it. :) EDIT: I also got my 99 Strength with it... From 94!

How did you get my bank pic? :P Probably CE. :P

If you configure your mouse settings in control panel -> mouse -> wheel, you can change the speed at which your mouse scrolls through pages. Can't do anything about the spelling though. Hope I helped. : Well, it'd be easy to split the search string into separate letters and grab all resulting matches that way but the search itself would be slightly slower.

Hellhounds - I hate them. Whether I get clues or not. Warper Terrorbirds - Nuisance to kill. Bloodvelds - Nothing good. I love all the other tasks. Abarant Specters and Gargoyles are my favorite. I do the prayer trick and stay there the entire time without needing a single ppot.
