Original Post — Direct link

So I just tried logging in for the first time today, my account has apparently had too many login attempts. So I wait a little while and try again, on different worlds. Still no luck.

I assumed somebody had miraculously got ahold of my username and had been trying to get in, so I reset my password. Still not getting in.

Went to the Runescape website only to find my account is blocked there and I'm unable to check my account settings etc.

I'm completely lost on what to do, it's been maybe six hours since I was last logged in and everything was fine just then. I do have 2 factor and an authenticator set up so they're probably not getting in if it is something malicious, that doesn't stop it freaking me out.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hey. That message doesn't typically mean something malicious is happening. I'm afraid the best advice I can offer currently is to wait a short while before trying again. It's an issue, isolated to a very small number of players, that we're aware of and are working on.
