Weath is the one that just confirmed it’s hijacked. That’s how they know.

If his appeal is accepted, the recovery link will be sent to the email that he supplied in his recovery, which is not the compromised email.

Thank you, Weath! I checked haveibeenpwned and it said there was no breach for the email that I have listed as my linked email. That’s why I was confused. I created the email after the first time I was hacked, and two step authenticated it. Any advice on how to proceed going forward to ensure optimal security? And could you possibly dm me and tell me which email was hijacked?

I would run as many virus scans as possible to make sure that your computer is fully secure. Then go and make a brand new Gmail account with a unique password and add 2-step to it. Register that on your RS account and then never use it anywhere else. Set up the RS authenticator and set a unique password on your RS account.

Run regular virus scans, try not to visit any untrustworthy websites and don't share your account.

I've secured the account for you. I can see that you've submitted a recovery for it and this should be granted in a short while by our support mods.

Unfortunately, it looks as though the email that you had registered on the account is not as secure as you had hoped. The hijacker used this email to recover your account (rather than going through the manual recovery system). I recommend taking some time to secure your email and/or create a new one that is not affiliated with anything other than your OSRS account. I'd also recommend checking the email on a website such as haveibeenpwned, to try and identify how it was leaked.

I've begun the process of tracking any wealth that was taken from the account. I'll ban any hijacking/real world trading accounts that have received or sold the wealth. I have also made the anti-hijacking team aware of your account so they can fully investigate the person responsible for the hijacking.

Hey, If you're still having trouble completing this step, search the drawers in the tent directly south of the altar.

Why not always use english? And add the translated part after the english version when suitable.

Like this:

Text in english

Same text translated if required

Because that would be terrible.

And that's enough Internet for me today...

Look at the rest of the fossils too!

You know, I feel like I've had a conversation about this before and I can't quite remember why we didn't fix it at that point.

I've done some Unsolved mysteries level detective work and backtracked to how this happened (at midnight, no less... I should find a hobby):

Originally, in this blog post, we stated the compost potion would be level 17 to make (likely to fill in a bigger gap).

It wasn’t, you just read it that way. Text is best read emotionless, otherwise you could completely change the entire message of the text.

...lol you can't be serious, Mod West. Adding new content (I mean after all, there's a whole city in Morytania that is still inaccessible) is not the same as updating specific things into existing areas.

You’re not seeing the larger picture here, it’s not just adding a spinning wheel. What if we added a monster that drops an RCB to Morytania? It’s not completely out of the question but would be seen by some as catering to specific builds.

The point I’m making is that new content can have an unforeseen impact on an area locked account. How are we to prove it wasn’t on purpose?

A great example was the deranged archaeologist on fossil island; on release he dropped amulets of glory which made obtaining one way easier for Ironmen which saw pushback from the players so we changed the drop to crystal keys instead. Players don’t want us to cater to specific builds while also catering to them simultaneously.

I think it’s a valid concern but I suppose it’s the nature of the beast. I was just opening up a dialogue on the matter and it’s nice to hear a wide range of player opinions as they may shape the way I go about my work in the future :)

Blessed content.

As someone who’s been here for 3, it’s before my time. Perhaps who ever owned that specific job left and didn’t pass it on. Just a guess though.
