My account “The Level 15” was banned about two years ago.

I won’t deny that it was deserved, and I’ve learned from the experience.

I regret it deeply, and have nearly managed to regain the lost stats, minus about seven skillcapes. But, is there any way to make the username available again?

When an account is banned the name remains on the account so essentially gets banned with it (the name isn't actually banned but is inaccessible) - I actually think names should be freed up in this situation (with a few exceptions I won't bore you with). The problem is the ban could be appealed at any time (even years later), and if the account was hijacked and unbanned, it would be a bit unfair to also have lost the name. Leave it with me to think over.

My friend is in a similar situation, he was banned for macro'ing and says he honestly didn't bot and I believe him. He's also tweeted at a few mods, made an appeal through JagexSupport, and made a reddit post to no luck. I hate to bother you again, but he's desperate. Is it possible to take a look into the account "Rag Mason"?

We sent your friend a message on 7 March, ask him to check junk/spam folders

Not sure if you have the time to check for a friend of mine (IGN Jenabelle) who seemed to have been auto-flagged and banned for macroing. I'm fairly certain it was a false positive as he isn't the type of person to do such things. I've attempted to help him appeal through JagexSupport, create reddit posts, but the whole process has deterred him from coming back. It may be a long shot, but maybe I can get him back into the game this way. Thank you for your time.

That account isn't banned

Hi all!

We're very excited to announce that we'll be live tomorrow - entirely remotely - at 5pm UTC over at twitch.tv/OldSchoolRS.

I'll be joined by Mod Ash, Mod Kieren, and Mod Roq. Please do bear with us, we've had a tech run-through (sneak peek here), but it might be a bit rocky.

Reply to this thread with any questions you might have, or submit a question to u...

I'm really good, thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well too!

Using VPNs isn't against the rules.

We might take the initiative and lock your account if it seems like it's being hijacked (as IP changes might suggest).

Your IP changing whilst logged in will usually result in your account being logged out. So you'd probably want to avoid very dangerous content.

Are you guys conducting meetings remotely? And if so, how's it going?

100% remotely via web cameras and mics. It's actually not that bad. I think a lot of us are actually finding working from home to be more productive as there are less distractions overall.

Just had a meeting planning the development and graphics work for Darkmeyer, Sins of the Father Quest, and the Hallowed Sepulchre. It's coming along nicely but there's a lot to it!

While we are at it, we should also restrict that once a spot has a single player on it, the spot can't be used by another player.

I've passed this to the QA team to check. In the meantime can you make sure there isn't any other dialogue with Edmond you might be missing such as "something else" rather than discussing the quest you don't meet the requirements for?

Edit: I've DM'd you on Reddit so we can look into your case further.

Holy wow! Thank you so much Steve, we found that his account had infact been taken over by zulrah botters and now has an extra 1.2k kills on his collection log! All his accounts wealth has been cleared out but we're both just so happy he got it back. THank you so much again!!

u/JagexAcorn Remember when making Underground pass and some other stuff easier was polled because your data analytics people saw people were quitting and it failed massively, and you said you would stop letting them poll stuff? Does this poll question come from the same background?...

If there was data to show this was a massive dropping off point for newer players, it definitely would have been better to pre-face the question in the blog with that data to explain to players why we are polling it. Or if the data was there to provide, it may have been deemed to fall under the "new player experience changes" blog that we put out awhile back which discusses not polling those types of changes (examples of changes we've done includes Adventure Paths, Tutorial Island changes, and Login Screen changes).

I believe the scrum that wanted to poll it had good intentions and genuine...
