Locked Account

Featured Replies

yesterday i was curious (after leaving rs for a few years) how the anti-hacking system works exactly. what i did was i changed my password while using a german based proxy (im canadian) to change it, then request a recovery. i figured that i would just get the pass back once i filled out all the stuff. WRONG. jagex ended up locking my account. heres where my quesiton comes into play. what exactly have i gotten myself in to? will i get it back quickly? when i did the recovery and they told me this set of numbers, i took a screeny and filled out the next screen. i didnt realise those numbers were also used to track my recovery, so i simply close paint and didnt save. so now i dont have the recovery numbers, nor do i have a clue if or when ill get my account back. dont flame me for being a moron (wasnt myself last night). if anyone has something useful that could give me some reassurance, i would love to hear it. thanks.

ive sent in a password recovery already. ive got practically every detail of that account, so im just concerned about how quickly it will be resolved, or IF it will be resolved. based on stories ive heard, jagex has arguably the worst customer service imaginable.

 

WILL I GET MY ACCOUNT BACK? lol

Yeah. Don't use a Proxy to change a Runescape password.. Surely you should have known this?

Hilarious?

Isn't the number they give you just a way for you to check where Jagex is in recovering the password? They may still be in the process, or you may be boned.

It will take a few weeks. And I'm 90% sure you will get your account back. A similar situation happened to me. Still a stupid thing to do. . . .

stupid indeed. Ever since it got locked I've been beating myself up over it. Good news though! It was unlocked last night, so I'm happy. My curiosity tends to get me in trouble when I don't think things through xD
