Abc1230 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well, since my entire bank is only worth about 5mil (maybe) I'd slowly recover. I spend most of my money on skills. YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexiledRazz Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well, i guess everyone's money base here is way higher then mine, but I'll say this anyway. I think i have about 27M of wealth atm. But, i recently lost 4M due to lag at Monkey Guards(Z ring+Zam Cloak and some other stuff). And i just slowly made it back. Not that much of a biggie. Because i already had all the cash i needed to buy my items back, just needed to do it, and earn that money back. But, i NPC traded 1M every day for a week and got it back, and a little extra. in all honesty, how do these people make hundreds of millions of gp??? iv been playing for years, and have some decent levels, but iv never rated myself as "wealthy", but for people to play for a few months and earn that much... i just dont understand how you can do it. It's called not having a life. And/or getting extremely lucky many times at Monster Bosses. Every day I hear someone say. "Omg, I've been hacked!" Now if they are serious or not, I will never know. I am not sure how anyone can lose their stuff. Unless you are sharing your account or allowing someone to compromise your pw info, I'd think it would be pretty rare. And for God's sake, use a decent, updated virus protection program. I actually know of some folks that play RS, that don't even know if they have a virus protection program. Set a pin & recovery questions. And I am 99% sure you won't lose your money. I'll admit, I have been playing for just over 2 years, and I have seen a keylogger on the main page once. Yeah, that's one of the most interesting things about my main account. I've been playing on it for about, possibly 3 - 4 years. And it has never been hacked. And i guess I'm lucky, to an point. I recently found out that my virus scanner wasn't scanning every day like it should be. And when i found out, and scanned my CPU, it found 30 viruses. I'm just lucky that one of those weren't a key logger pertaining to RS. And also, i have set recoveries. A scrambled password. And a bank pin. So now, i think my account is at maximum security.

T. Skill Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'd most likely slowly recover, and probably go over the amount of wealth I have now(not much tbh) simply because I know how to make money faster than before.

SwimmyTheDuck Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 No life 'till it's back, it's just around 3M. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent1777 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 well...this did happen to me when I quit about 2 years ago, I gave 2m in items to friends, an sold eveything in bank. When I cam back, it took me 2 weeks just to get a rune pick.. -.- Tip.It's Official Undercover Agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It's a game. Therefore it isn't worth the no-life time. If I play enough. be smart, and have fun, I'll get it all back (although 85m might take a while, w/e I still have other games to play). ~It's Super Effective!

Johannas Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Might take a break, but more likely to slowly recover. I think it depends whether it was my fault or not, if i felt stupid - i might feel more determination to earn it back. I have lost all my wealth once before about 3 years ago in a freak luring accident. Took a break for a couple of months because i was just an angry kid then. It was a bit harder to get money back then too.... Besides, money making is so easy now adays with the grand exchange i would probably just earn a little bit of instant cash... 1. Pick flax/kill cows till i get some armour/cheap weapon 2. Kill green dragons for some more cash 3. Carry on day to day activities and keeping MTK updated. By this time i would have all the basics back 4. Just merchant a little on the grand exchange - (tooooo easy!) *first poll idea :)* Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

Torlen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Every day I hear someone say. "Omg, I've been hacked!" Now if they are serious or not, I will never know.

Set a pin & recovery questions. And I am 99% sure you won't lose your money. I'll admit, I have been playing for just over 2 years, and I have seen a keylogger on the main page once. You just have to be smart about what you do. Me personally, I'd probably slowly make it back, but if it happened more then once, I'd probably just pack it up or take a long break. I don't share my account I have updated antivirus etc.. I have Recoverys I don't visit dodgy sites etc etc etc etc my 20 character alphanumerical random string password was still cracked to gain access to my account..twice..(yes different password both times) I Just go on prolonged breaks until i decide i can be bothered to play again Not to be a jerk, but a 20 string alpha numerical has 6.87e46 different combinations. At the rate of 10 guesses per second, it would take 2.17e38 years to crack a password like that. That's 1.58e28 times as old as the universe. That isn't even figuring in the fact that you are only allowed to many wrong guesses a minute logging into Runescape. People aren't guessing your password, you're doing something wrong.

8112204 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I would NEVER let it happen although if it did, i would probably slowly recover, the only think keeping me from quitting is the fact that my skills are still there and I would not let that go to waste, and they can help recover my money. And since I'm F2P I don't have that much anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford_landau Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 On the 22/September 2008 my main account, king giovas was hacked by some sad sad child. The account had a net of around 600m, (540m cash alone) After I was hacked I had a break till late December and I started playing again. Because I had no money I had to re-evaluate my goals I had planned. No more 99cons, 99herb, 99farming for me... ..i decided to complete all the quests in runescape! you got no idea how much the dragon shard and set of dagon hai robes and black elite armour helped me financially~ Now that I have finished all the quests in Runescape I am working on just casually training my slayer. I still collect the charms, even though I no longer have the funds to train summon yet. and I do miss my old SGS.... ahhh anyways, im slowly building my wealth back up, however i would love to also become unmuted again... grah hacker. Feel free to add me ingame if you want to chat :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70kyews Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 lol i quit for a while after I died and lost a rune scim. I'd either quit or do something completely different than usual, like pvp or pvm for money LOL. This could take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_OnE Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 About two and a half or three years ago, I decided to quit playing RS. When I did so, I figured I'd be gone forever so I gave everything away. About a week ago, I started playing again. As such, I don't have much wealth yet so if I lost it, it'd hardly even affect me.

BabyPunchers Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Probably just slay abbies for a while. I onyl have like 40m, won't be hard to make that back.
