Bitchin tune

I was talking with Player Support about Authenticator Delay this morning. As promised in the Message to our Community blog, we will be bringing you more information on security in general and they are working on the content for that as their second blog, iirc. Expect that to be out sometime in May (dates are subject to change)

What now?

🦀 HERE YOU GO 🦀

They don't let me come out to play.

🦀 PLAYERS WILL RESPOND POSITIVELY TO THIS 🦀

Whats up?

Jumping in here to provide a clear tech perspective.

Jagex do not store passwords in plaintext. Customer Support, developers and everyone else at Jagex do not have access to your passwords. Access to anything relating to passwords is controlled in line with GDPR, industry standards and common sense. Passwords are secured and protected using modern algorithms and all other functionality that is deemed appropriate by ourselves and the industry.

Seperately no capital letters etc. isn't great, but it is not related in any way nor representative of our security systems currently in place. Which is a common assumption I see made.

Our database of passwords / personal information have also never been leaked / compromised, to my knowledge. If it was, I believe we'd be legally obligated to reveal that information.

It's just an assumption, I could be wrong. I looked at the context available (phishing ticket replies). We do not have plaintext passwords.

It looks as though he was phished back in January. Believing he was talking to Jagex Support he provided the hijacker with a desired password.

Your account was hijacked back in January, seemingly via the creation email being compromised. The hijacker looks to have set their own email in that time, which is why you aren't getting the recovery emails.

• Recovery request
• Enter your login email
• It'll say an email has been sent. You don't have access to the email, so click "I don't have access to that email address"
• Submit an Account Recovery form

For more context for the hijacking back in January. You had submitted multiple ...

It could be that another email was used to link to the login, or it could be something as harmless as a typo.

Submit a Forgotten Login support ticket:

The route is:

• Still Stuck?
• No (you don't know your login email).
• No (you don't have access to your registered email).
• Maybe we can help.

It goes like this:

Make nice art in a similar fashion to Varrock and Canifis or dragons and rats - we get told they’re not the correct style and that it’s too flashy.

Make art like lumbridge and draynor or the earlier 2004 style NPCs and we get abused for recycling graphics and being terrible artists.

It isn’t a game we can win and I suppose it calls for a wider discussion around what OSRS art style is as it’s clear that there isn’t a general consensus.

We always listen to feedback and are willing to take it on, there just needs to be constructive criticism to go off on and that isn’t always the case. Personally I always try to tone my designs down when I can but I’m not planning to make 2004-era graphics any time soon and will continue to match it with models released in 2007.

Hopefully that explains my stand point on the matter, sorry if it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.

Hey Vargorond - we answered this on stream a few weeks ago. In short, we're open to the idea but would like to complete the current expansion first!

This makes me so happy <3

When you notice the pineapple son on the bar. Cover your eyes!

Let us know which questions you'd like answered on tomorrow’s Q&A livestream at 5pm BST!

Questions that provoke discussion are valued over Yes/No questions.

Thanks!

It'll be as the tench was, yeah. Although which one it is exactly, I'll leave as a surprise.
