Garr Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 If in rsc you don't log into an account for 6 month, youre bank and stats get whipped. In Rs2 youre bank and stats get whipped if you haven't been played online for 24 hours total and haven't logged in in the last 6 (or 7) month. The problem is if the bank and stats get whipped the password still remains, and because of that those accounts can't be used by newer players. :shock: How true is that? do u have proof that ur bank and stats get whipped if u fail to log in 6 to 7 mths? How about this? Haven't logged on this account in about a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killkill1234 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 wow thats some pretty convincing evidence. I quit RS for ever but it keeps drawing me back. I managed to quit for one month total before i came back, and if you guys suggest 30 days account whipes, i would have... By the way i am combat 80 and i had 4 mil and stuff when i "quit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouse_ Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 And for what do they use these accounts? Low lvls who r often used as a scout to look if the coast is clear by RR. This ruins the fun of pk'ing and no bs about a miner who wants rune ore on the best way, the wildy is supposed to be a dangerous spot. You can delete them for me I'm one of those who used a scout to mine rune...it's better then getting pked by a noob team and losing 200-400K :roll: Most pkers worked around that now and rush RR...

meili Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yes but then some poser would snap up the old names for scamming and pretend to be the real tks, phillip, l6vi, etc. Hmmm I think their combat level might give them away... Nope because the real l6vi might actually be wiped (all level 1 stats) anyway since he might not have logged in for years.

Craven_Image Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yeh I would agree with deleting the accounts which don't have hiscores, however some accounts are used as mules to hold items for a main character, most likely the items were drop traded and therefore they are against the rules anyway. 99 Magic, 99 Defence, 99 Strength, 99 Attack, 99 Hitpoints, 99 Fletching, 99 Woodcutting, 99 Firemaking, 99 Thieving, 99 Ranged, 99 Prayer, 99 Cooking, 99 Fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landlubber Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 something that i would like to see is have different hi-score tables for f2p and p2p along with the one we have now. As for the names, if someone wants to have a new player, then he should be more creative in choosing a name. having a few numbers after a name isn't too bad.

Anima Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I didnt read all the posts, just some on the first page, but this is what i think... I dont think they should ever delete a character of someone who has played over a certain amount of time or clear their bank. If someone hasnt played over X amount of hours and has not logged in for X amounts of months then completely deleting the account is fine by me... As for the high scores... Taking out inactive players is like erasing dead or inactive professional athletes from the record books. Just because they dont play any more doesnt make you better than them... Just my 2 cents...

Punc Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 JageX is deleting RSC altogether, so it doesn't mean anyting if you lose your stats there. I don't think people should be deleted from highscores thou, say they do that: Tks has been unactive for a year (?) so she will be deleted. Tks was number 1 and has worked, just like everyone else, pretty hard for her levels, so she should be intitled for a spot on the highscore. Dislike it? get a higher level.

Cicdolfin Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 It's not that simple, i didn't know that peoples banks can get whiped after ages. What if someone gets called up for a war and can't play on runescape and when they get back their account has been whiped. Many people can't play runescaspe for long periods of time for their own reasons.... I guess you could take them off the highscores if they don't play in 6 months. However it's probably pretty hard to do that, and would take up alot of jagex's time. Adapt to your conditions, don't cry about them.

Iantiger Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Suppose we assume that Runescape is still running in 20 years time. During that time, thousands... no, millions of people will have started Runescape, built up a decent account and then quit (including a lot of really high players like Zezima etc. - Zezima is merely an example in this case). These inactive accounts will be clogging up the hi-scores. If there is someone playing the game with all stats 99, and he or she is currently the best player in Runescape, the hi-scores will tell different and that player might only appear as 5th or 6th behind the other 4 or 5 players that have already achieved 99 in all stats and are better on exp and have since quit the game. If you look even further down the hi-scores, whereas a person may only need 35 mining to appear in the top 500,000 active miners, they instead need a whopping 70 mining merely to appear the in a mass of mainly inactive players. In the worst case scenario, let's assume it's far into the future, many people have made accounts, got to 99 in all stats, and quit. The ENTIRE hi-scores database is filled with inactive 99-accounts. There are NO currently active players in the top 500,000. These places are filled with inactive accounts. Additionally, the players that have quit the game (or even died) DON'T CARE about their accounts any more, so why keep them in the hi-scores. If they start playing again, by all means put them back in the hi-scores, but what's the point clogging them up with accounts nobody gives a dam about?

runesmithie Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 No, after 6 months it just deletes your bank... Ah that explains it. But I don't exactly see the point in that. I mean if a player has left the game, what are they going to care if their bank is wiped? It doesn't address the issue of the fictional hi-scores. Iantiger I personally think that after a month a person should go off the SHOWN highscores and be put on a reserve table, and when they next log in then they'll go back to the shown highscores table and if they leave again for a month then itll go back to the reserve I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Lets say there are 3 Million registered Accounts taking up 1 KB Space Ok, and you got that information from where? How do you know each account takes up 1KB? Please don't just make up figures to substantiate a point. Also, the amount of RS players who get called up to the army and don't have access to a PC for 6 months to a year are VERY few. Lastly, don't patronise me, and the majority of these forums by telling us that 1,000KB = 1MB. For a start, it DOESN'T! It's actually 1024KB = 1MB! Thanks, Iantiger1048576 Ian!! Just because he was going by hard drive manufacturer standards doesnt mean you should critisize :D in fact.. you just proved his point even more!!! 2.86 Gigs is the revised figure (at an assumed 1kb per) :D I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

jamie Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I dont think anybody should ever be deleted from the hiscores unless they got there unfairly. People worked hard to earn there ranking and i think they should remain on the hiscores for other players to compete with. Oh and Ian you dont have to sign your name after every post, thats what your sig is for. Glidden05, Pk Jamie, Who Da funk, Qyde Im back!

loyalbackstabber Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 i agree with all y'all but this happened to me. My grades were dropping so i had to work on those for a year... then i started back on RS2. It wouldnt be my fault if because i couldnt play for a school year that my account was deleted. so i think that just take them off hi score. but if they become active again or get a level, it could trigger it and put them back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highstick Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I disagree, just because you don't play anymore doesn't mean you don't have right to the lvls you earned when you did play. Edit: I do agree that accounts that are whipped should actualy be allowed to be retaken, instead of keeping there password. But if you quit, you wouldn't really care about your account. Nobody else cares. Jagex certainly doesn't care as it's just taking up space on their servers. So if nobody cares, why keep it? Iantiger uhm i quited about a half year before rs2 and now i play again and i would lov e to still have me rsc account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janam Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Well I asked Jagex if they could change my name and here is my reply from Mod Craig Dear Janam 696, Thank you for your message At this time it is not possible to change the name of accounts in Runescape and it is highly unlikely that the ability to do so will be included into the game with in the next 18 months. Whilst we know that this is something that a lot of our players wish to have we currently have to focus our development time on issues of security and content. If this facility does become available at some point in the future then all of our users will be informed of this and will be given the chance to alter their name. Sincerely, Mod Craig RuneScape Customer Support *********************************** On 6th April 2005 you sent us the following: Ok I was wondering if you can change my name. I would like it to be Janam rather then Janam_696. I think I created janam when I first started. Now that I have forgetten his password I cant log in. Secound of all if he hasnt been logged into for such a long time. And it is not being used Iw ould like to have him deleated fro you DB and have my name changd. Thank You, Janam *********************************** Well that sucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedm Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Yeah, just get rid of the noob accounts that have never and will never be used. I looked up a ton of names on the highscore and the only one on the highscores was merlin (and I ooked up like 20 names.) PDM PDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon45456 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I totally agree with that, but a bigger issue is a lack of original names. Everything is taken; you have to resort to like John17689623479 or Mike98areg74, it's getting really annoying :x Yeah, i was the 45,456th person to get the name jon.

Dadevilsidol Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Personally, as someone who no longer plays Runescape, I don't see why my account should be deleted just for the sake of high scores. I may not play right now but for an awful longtime I played every single day (for far too many hours a day). I surely earnt the right to have that account avaliable to me should I wish to come back? I plan to come back for a month over the summer to meet up with friends. That may be enough to get me back playing once a week. Who knows. However I know that having my character deleted that I worked just as hard on as any of you reading this, would pretty much take the mick. yes I agree for highscores that old accounts should disappear but they certainly shouldn't be deleted if they are of a decent level (I'm all for level 10s that haven't been played in years to be deleted). Just imagine if you took a break and came back to find that you had wasted all time spent previously because someone out there cannot be original enough to create their own new name so they had to delete your char just so they could get the name.
