How Long before Jagex deletes accounts?

Featured Replies

I was wondering how long you have to be inactive in Runescape before Jagex deletes your account?

 

 

 

(I was told it was 2 months but that is incorrect)

Before I remmber rsc accounts were deleted, but here in Rs2 I don't believe jagex deletes accounts as people have pictures of over 1k days inactive

JaGex dont delete rs2 accounts unless they have been inactive for a long long time. Say 4 years or so but they dont do it often

my bsmovies char was inactive for 3-4 years, when i went to play it again it was fine, it just had 0.3 blackmarks from swearing at some noobs which jagex took a long time to do something about :)

Jagex does not delete accounts. If a player quits, he or she still have their account, and it will NOT be deleted. The player may come back some time and want to play, Jagex does not because of this Reason.

2 months? Not true =P. I quit for over a year once, deleted the screenie though =O. It was 467 days, I believe. Not sure O.o

.::Congratulations!::.

I just advanced a spamming level!

 

Now I need to find a decent Signature.

:shock: no way they dont delete? Wow its been awhile since I thought about it... I thought they deleted after 6 months to a year. Ot: guy above me theres a Long Island City? Lived on the island for the better part of my life and have never heard of it...

Get me a whopper!

i don't think they do delete. if you are in-active on a rsc account for 6 months it gets deleted though.

JaGeX NEVER deletes accounts in rs2, even if they have been inactive for very long ammounts of time.

 

this is one reason jaxex's f2p option is the best of any mmorpg I know of, your account can never get deleted for inactivity :D good job jagex.

Just few days ago i tried if i remember my old accounts pass, i did and some of them were last logged in nearly 1000 days ago, so i guess u dont have to worry about being deleted in a short time if u cant play ;)

RSN - Ur Enemy, lvl 120 - Back in action!:)

Oldest rsn: Obu86 lvl 100 :P ~Retired~

 

RS Since 2001

About 2 years ago i one time died in wildy and like i remember i decided to delete my account and don't play more RuneScape, but i not found how to do it.

 

 

 

Then i writted to Jagex and got answer then this feature are not included and then they don't plan to do it, i personally think then they don't delete accounts ever.

Suggestion: You can use Anchor on Waterfiends - is cheap if to compare to GS & effective with crush attack & it hit like Whip.

Visit my exp track

Just logged into my pure which I abandoned. She was not deleted after 382 days.

 

 

 

Stats: 25 Mage, 9 Defense, 15 HP.

 

 

 

Was going to raise her mage as high as possible, Keep def at 20 and HP whatever it got to gettng to 20 def.

 

 

 

May still do it one day.

Ok Great! Thanks all!

 

I was worried about my friends Char, but no longer!

 

 

 

 

 

hmmm, another friend of mine quit a couple years ago and he had a Phat.... :pray: I wonder if he remembers his Pass...... :D

I don't think they delete RuneScape 2 accounts. My oldest account was still there after about 967 days.

I wish they would delete accounts after like, say, 5 years, because of all those good account names that are never going to be used again.. *sigh* oh well. i guess I have my good name. :mrgreen:

Rofl, i quited my main once cuz i was bored, then i started playing 146 days later and i had 4,1 Blackmarks since earlier cuz i swore att noobs and 2 guys reported me cuz i BS'ed him in wildy (they bsed me first 1 month ago so i just had little revenge with Snare and Sara strike ::' )

 

 

 

I dont think they delete chars on RS at all \'

They only remove acc from highscores after inactivity, but if you login it gets back there. ::'

I understand that as I wanted to be named "Kefka Palazzo" but it was already taken way back in 2004.

 

 

 

 

 

to answer the question,no, they do not delete account as there are far too many inactive accounts to handle.

Quote - Revenge is such a nasty thing that only breeds more vengeful souls, but in some situations revenge does not even need to be sought out, but only bided.

I though they never deleted if you made the account member for any oeriod of time. if it is only f2p then it will be deleted for inactivity.

 

 

 

I had an account be deleted after a few months that had never been a member but an even older one not deleted since it was for 1 month.

Before I remmber rsc accounts were deleted, but here in Rs2 I don't believe jagex deletes accounts as people have pictures of over 1k days inactive

 

 

 

I had about 5 acc's, 1 i was 68 day not log in and othere's about 150 day's and deleted! :notalk:

Just because you cant log onto your account dosnt mean your account got deleted, it may have been hacked and banned or you may have forgotten the pass.

 

 

 

I have sent a letter to JaGeX on the issue, they specificaly said they currently do not delete accounts although they used to for about 6 month after rs2 came out though.

 

PS.I have a screenshot of the letter that I can post here
