November 28, 201213 yr My overall ranking just improved by nearly 49,000 spots. I moved up between 160-225K spots in just about all combat skills, and 147K fishing spots. I even moved up 26K spots in woodcutting and 29K spots in fletching (both 99s). Was there a big bot nuke? This cannot be solely the removal of certain F2P accounts, can it? The musings of a newbie going after his second thousand levels.
November 28, 201213 yr It is the removal of f2p accounts. The reason there is so many is because Jagex periodically removes them all at once rather than as soon as someone loses p2p. This has happened several times before. edit: It's possible that some bots were banned. These would have been gold farming bots rather than the personal bots.
November 29, 201213 yr I don't think accounts get removed from the hiscores anymore, provided they had p2p before? Anyway, mass bans happen sometimes. Probably, this was one too. Yay free ranks :D.
