king_kenny69 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 How's it hanging tip.it? I doubt I'm remembered here, but I thought I'd say g'day and share a little of my RS history while I'm at the runespan to make this a tad more interesting! I created my first and only account (king kenny69) in march 2003 during the 'glory years' of RSC. I can't really recall much of that time, except the huge crowds in varrock bank waiting for a teller, fishing sardines to train combat on zombies, and getting my first r2h via selling str pots just outside the wilderness. I had a great time playing, everything was a new adventure to me and there was so much to learn! Skip forward a bit to the launch of 'RS2', and after a brief break I was hooked again. I was about level 50 with ordinary stats when I became a member and started questing like mad! A few months after the abyss was released I learned of the 'huge' amount of cash there was to be made via crafting nature runes. I was about level 82 at this period with quite a nice bit of gold for myself, which I splurged on full dragon armour and my account really started to take form. I drifted away from any combat whatsoever and focused on skilling, not trying to get one single skill to 99, but to get everything equally high, which takes some time! I got the fire cape at lvl 92 after trying since lvl 89 to get it, which was a great achievement for me (and an ordinary lvl 92) at the time. I kept rune crafting as my primary source of income, with all my RC levels (44-83) coming from the abyss method. I used to get a real kick out of hunting down abyss pkers that tried to kill me. I would gear up, and charge them down, dds, whip and rune defender in hand wearing fighter torso and barrows gloves, complete with fire cape flowing behind me. Needless to say the tables were turned! I acquired the quest cape on the day the skill capes were released, and bought a blue mask when they cost about 26m. At this point I lost interest, and stopped playing RS at the beginning of 2007. I felt I had achieved all I wanted to do, and anything more was merely a chore...I was quite proud of my account at that time, I had 95 combat, over 1800 skill total (can't remember exact amount), sold most of my bank and upgraded to a red and blue mask for hibernating. Last year one of my mates IRL contacted me and tried to get me to play again. I declined but logged on and gave him my red mask instead, as I really couldn't see myself playing ever again. Fast forward yet another year to present day and I randomly decide visit runescape.com to see whats changed. What's this huge banner I see at the top? WTF is a Runespan? Curiosity got the better of me and after a snappy password recovery as I couldn't remember mine I log in! ... My account is sitting somewhere in what's called the Grand Exchange. Something's not right... I'm not wearing anything apart from my firecape, so I check my bank. Rubbish, only quest junk and worthless crap remains. I look at my stats, I have summoning and dungeoneering levels, which was released since I quit. I'm now CB lvl 102, not cool! Someone's hacked my account, claimed ownership of it, and later decided to bail and take my bank (and blue mask) with them. That was 2 days ago, and honestly I don't really care about the loss. ATM I'm earning bulk xp in f2p runespan, trying to get used to all the new features, see-sawing over whether to give RS another go and re-sub or just stay f2p and let my interest in RS die again. Well, that's about it tip.it, I might see ya'll around (world 99 is the HYT world still?), or may not! Cheers! My Last.Fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffy1 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Welcome back. :)World 99 still is the homeworld, though the hyt friends chat channel is now "Serpent Eye" See you around. :mrgreen: Tip.It Website Crew Leader[hide=Quotes]I love it how Jafje comes outa nowhere and answers my questionsHehe now we know what real life does...drugs, drugs, more drugs.

Kaur Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Selling str pots near varroc wildy, I remember doing that :thumbup: It's a shame about your account, it was probably recovered, cleaned off valuables and sold in account sales website. Sadly this is how it's done nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 To return back after such a long time and realize you have been hacked must be a horrible feeling :(. I am happy to see that you are still willing to take on this game once again though.Welcome back! Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Kenny, welcome back... However, if I were you, I would probably start a new account to boot. Getting hacked and having your name (possibly namesake?) virtually destroyed like that is enough to render it worthless to continue. (As myself, I would just flat quit RS, as taking damage to my namesake is pretty much a game-ender for me.) It will most definitely never have the feeling it once had. :( ~D. V. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a pessimist..." Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBearBlue Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Welcome back. And yeah, I got hacked too. It sucks when you leave, come back to play and everything is gone. They even changed my password... But I hope you have fun and get your money (and mask) back.

som99 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Welcome back! I can't imagine the feeling of beeing hacked since it never have happened to me, but I bet it ain't that great even if you did not play, I would start a new account if I ever would be hacked since I would feel "raped" because someone else had been touching my character :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kenny69 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks for all the greetings guys, it means a lot! I don't think I'll be creating a new account, I have injected far too much time to just throw it away and to be honest, I cbf'ed starting from scratch. As far as I know whoever took my account didn't know my secret questions or which email it was linked to, and as such thought it too much of a risk to keep playing on. I've left friends chat on to see if I get any interesting PM's and so far nothing. I'm quite positive the account is solely back in my own possession now. On a different note I've just hit 85 rc in about 3 days of Runespan in f2p, this xp is unheard of! Does the xp get even higher in members?

Kaur Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It can go anywhere between 100-150k xp/h if you are doing it right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As myself, I would just flat quit RS, as taking damage to my namesake is pretty much a game-ender for me.) No, that's completely fair to say. You wouldn't want anyone thinking you're weird or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kenny69 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 So I just subscribed! My plan of attack to regain some semblance of wealth is to camp at the runespan until 90 rc, and craft death runes in the abyss using all pouches and abyss familiar... Sounds like a good idea or no?

Kaida23 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Welcome back, kenny. :) You can thank tip.it for your character being hacked. Their database was hijacked and your account was recovered from that.That's a bold assumption.Indeed. While Tip.It was hacked last October, there's no evidence that his account was stolen between then and now. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...
