Recovering Accounts

Featured Replies

Hey, so, I need to recover a very old account. I started my account in 2001, so it has heaps of old stuff on it like holiday drops you can't get anymore. Plus also some good levels. I quit playing Runescape a few years ago. I tried about a week ago to look up my old account, with no luck. Jagex says it isn't locked, but the account exists nowhere. I tried doing some recovery stuff and the recovery questions had been changed since I quit playing. Is there anything I can do to get this account back? Pleeease help me, it would be much appreciated :smile:

Because so many ppl look up accounts on old highscores to recover potential rares, the only way to do it now with any success is to actually know the answers. Whether that account really is yours or not, you're sol now.

I have heaps of the old recovery questions, old passwords, old member pins.. stuff like that. So it all counts for nothing?

If you have all that info then it should be easy, just try it a few times.

It does, just make sure you know your first password, other passwords, answers to your recovery questions and whatnot.

I got my account back. The username has been changed, and the account has member credit.

How did they change the user name? Also, I feel quite bad if someone is paying to use member credit and they don't get it

P2p players can change their name once a month through account management.

If someone were to have been using your account they might try to get it back though.. That situation shouldn't have occured in the first place.
