Sween I thought you left Jagex? I took a break from the game but are you back?
Yea! In August I started consulting for them, along with a couple of other studios. I enjoyed it so much, and I’m so confident in what the game is going to achieve, that I accepted their offer to rejoin. My first ‘real’ day back was last Monday!
I think to keep with the thematics of the true 2007 experience, we should have a banner ad, featuring a game in which the player is prompted to swat a loud, buzzing mosquito. If ignored, the mosquito perpetually loudly buzzes. Upon swatting the mosquito, the player is redirected to a website to download a virus.
I like it! Maybe AIM and MSN built in too so you can NUDGE! your pals when they’re offline?
It’s funny how everybody has their preferred version of the sites. I have fond memories of 2004’s appearance, simple buttons in the middle of the page that then descend into a labyrinth of other pages. I remember discovering the forums and having my mind blown that it was there for months without me knowing.
I just googled runescape and the first link was play.runescape.com. It's a site with link to RS3 on left side and OSRS on the right side. I don't understand what the issue here is. Picture
Edit: The first result is actually www.runescape.com but it redirects to play.runescape.com.
Yep, the split landing page will allow players to choose RS3 or OSRS. Much better than taking up space on RS3's homepage imo. Yes, it's for first time visitors (or those without cookies), but that's who it's for. Beyond that, it isn't really needed again!
EDIT: Coming back to this! I wouldn't be opposed to see more OSRS visibility on the RS homepage, but I don't think it's the most crucial thing. We have a pretty good idea of traffic coming in, where we think they want to go, and whether they made it. However, I'd love to see - braces for impact - changes made to the OSRS homepage to bring it a bit more in line with what you'd expect today. Keep the themeatics, they're key. Don't flood it with banners and ads and whatnot. But I'm sure there's more we can do to make it work better for us, you, and new players.
So far so good! A few hundred Jagex Accounts made. We're discussing scaling the invites before we go to Open Beta. A few minor bits of feedback we hadn't seen in our internal staff test, but nothing major.
The answer lies in the rest of that Ideation Update article. Lots of 'this is just ideation, there's no guarantees it'll ever make it further than the pitch stage'. It's worth noting that since then ideation has been replaced by a game jam set-up that the team seem to enjoy more, and culminates in more detail being shared with players on livestream and surveys!
Yall should look at the rank 2 hcim trying to get his account back
He’s back on the account and the Support team manually assisted him in regaining access.
Yes, it's a phishing attempt. Check the...
The good news is that when reported they're taken down relatively quickly. The bad news is that Twitch aren't too interested in preventative measures. This also routinely affects FFXIV creators too. A while ago we took matters into our own hands and made a tool to help identify them nearly instantly, but I believe changes to the...

im sorry :(
Hey'a, this is being looked into now, sorry for any inconvenience!
Woops, wrong account. Anyway, yep, being looked into.

Will account bans be at the character level, or the account level?
Let’s say little Timmy bots on his main account, or RWTs the t-bow he took from the homies. Would that also ban his iron if it’s on the same Jagex account?
Covered in the FAQ.
Are sanctions such as a mute or a ban applied at the account or character level?
At launch, sanctions will continue to be applied at the character level. We will review this policy over time as usage of the system increases. We do foresee the need for this to be implementable at the Jagex account level in some circumstances. Player Support will have the ability to do this at launch if needed.
Will this new account finally allow us to change our login and website e-mail? So far we've only been able to change the e-mail where communications and news goes.
Kinda yes. By linking an RS account to a new Jagex account, you'll only log-in to that new Jagex account (which is something you choose).
Jagex mods love to pick and choose what comments to reply to
Many are covered in the FAQ, or perhaps we're finding the answer later, or it doesn't really ask much and doesn't warrant a comment
I've been using the Jagex launcher to run Runelite for months. It's nice that you only have to log in once to set it up. After that, it's just pressing a play button to log in. Hopefully that stays the same with this added Jagex account.
It remains the same, as staff I've been testing the Jagex Account for around 5 weeks now.
What wasnt made clear for me yet (maybe cause caffeine still hasnt kicked in) is: Will the Jagex account be a hub for all character related security so that it will be impossible to recover an account without access to its linked Jagex account while also helping speed up the awful process that is recovering an account linked to the Jagex account?
Will the Jagex account be a hub for all character related security?
Yep, as long as the characters are linked to the account.
So that it's impossible to recover an account without access to its linked Jagex account?
Correct!
Whilst also helping speed up the awful process that is recovering an account linked to the Jagex account?
Correct. The onus is now on you and your back-up codes etc.
So when someone recovers an RS Account using the old school recovery, and when he succesfully logs in and imports its to his Jagex account, the account is theirs forever?
I think the FAQ clears up that, but TLDR: no!
Q. How will character recovery work?
A. Characters that are imported to a Jagex Account will no longer be recoverable using the RuneScape account recovery system. You’ll be able to choose which security features are enabled on your account. By default, log in verification and recovery is possible with access to your email. You can choose to switch to app-based MFA, which will require the code from the app or one of the backup codes provided when you set it up to remove.
Q. We’ve had several questions on the topic summarised in the following question - If someone adds a hijacked character to a Jagex Account, what happens?
A. Player Support will have tools available to assist in cases where RuneScape accounts are hijacked and imported to the wrong Jagex Account. Once the correct owner of the character has been verified, they will be able to import it to their own ...
Read moreI posted this in a thread asking a similar question two weeks ago or so. I think it's still useful advice:
What sort of gamer are you?
I’d encourage you to just have fun with it! Look at your Quest log and use that to inform what you train and work on. Make friends, be social. But be wary of anybody promising things which sound too good to be true.
That said, if you have a history of playing MMOs and you want to get to the good stuff you could follow this: ...

If you follow the above you'll be able to set a login email and password, meaning you can play on mobile (and on PC without Steam, if you wanted)

HiScores
On a similar note, HiScores hold a lot of prestige for players too. They are ordered by level, then XP, and in the event of a tie, whichever player achieved the goal first is ranked higher. Currently, the front page of our HiScores is locked down, as we have over 25 players who have achieved 200 million XP in every skill. Impressive!
However, adding a new skill means that those coveted s...
