Hey

You'll get a full response to your ticket from our support team soon, but I've had a quick look for you and I can see the issue - your account is not a Jagex Account, so you won't be able to use the Launcher. Thought I'd give you the heads up so your membership doesn't go to waste!

Info on how to upgrade to a Jagex Account if you need it.

Hey - you can get in touch with us about this using the contact button here. If you did not make the payments and/or the subsequent charge backs we can usually get this fixed for you by removing the unpaid balance and bank charges.

Please allow us a few days to get this sorted for you, these situations often require some investigation and can get quite complex, but we'll reply to your ticket once we have an outcome for you.

Hey, you submitted your request using this route - I'm sorry you've lost access but in fairness the wording on the article is very clear - including the information "If you log in with a Jagex account, data for all linked characters and the Jagex account will be permanently disabled".

When a request is received, an automatic email is also fired to outline exactly what the process involves, and offers a 72 hour cooling period to edit or revoke your request. You do not need to reply to that message to 'continue' - a response is only required if you wish to edit or revoke.

No action is taken for the first 72 hours. After that your legal request is queued for processing, unless you have revoked the request. We then carry out some d...

We're not gonna let that happen, drop me a message with the devices/software you are using and your RSN - more than happy to take a look and advise on a way forward :)

Well it is just that ... 'incredibly rare situations' - if we believe the player is under 13 years old is one example. What i meant was outliers that almost every player need not be concerned about affecting them.

Sorry to disappoint ;)

Hey - I've had a chat with the team, as they take a number of things into account before applying any penalties, just using an accessibility tool such as this will not be an issue.

So you're good to go, feel free to get set up and enjoy a weekend of 'Scaping!

It looks like you're aiming for Mining ATM so GL with that, I hope you're chatting with Gadrin soon!

Apart from some incredibly limited situations, bans are applied at character level, we don't chain ban all characters under a Jagex Account

It’s been rejected, he’d already appealed it before I seen it had happened that’s why I reached out

That would imply the mute is correct and there are no indications of hijacking - happy to double check if you think we've missed those checks

Hi Steve, I let my friend use my account for a while for pvp, I appreciate this aspect is very much my own fault, but I was looking to start playing again for leagues which I did last night and wondered why I was getting ignored, my friend got my account muted, permanently. He’s since never going to be using it again, I was wondering if you could help in anyway? I’ve never done anything in terms of getting it muted or banned in over 10 years I looked at the status and all mutes have been my friend. I’m so annoyed and I know it’s my fault to a degree for letting him play on it, but I was wondering if it could be adjusted to a year mute as my punishment but not permanently as I’ve worked so hard to almost max, any response would be appreciated. If you reply privately I’ll send my username if you can respond please

Pop a mute appeal into the team - ty

When you enable 2fa you'll get the option to save back up codes, you can also cancel and request a new set at any time. As back up codes are needed if you lose 2fa (for example you lose your phone) it's a good idea to store the codes on a PC or write them down rather than taking a photo of them with your phone

is it possible to have multiple accounts on the same email and an easy way to log in between them?

I want to start an iron but having to retype a new email every time is kind of a chore.

Yup - you can have up to 20 characters under 1 email login and credentials. Switching between accounts on mobile is perfectly possible but could also be smoother - the team are aware of that aspect and are having ongoing discussions on how best to improve it

We're sure you've seen this point come up time and time again, but it’s important enough that it bears repeating! Make sure you're using passwords that aren't easy to guess, with numbers, letters, special characters and capitalisation. Use different passwords across every website you use.

Why is this even being mentioned? Runescape accounts don't allow capitalisation, or is this finally being changed?

edit: same thing with bank pins, why not just allow up to 6 or 8 digit bank pins, if we're all for account security?

Jagex Accounts offer improved password complexity, including capitalisation

You might be looking at an old version of the page - the issue you mention is outlined on the support page

You can generate a new set if you've misplaced or run out of backup codes.

  1. Log in to your Jagex Account Management
  2. Under Two-step authentication select Replace next to Backup Codes
  3. Save your new backup codes to a safe place

Generating a new set of backup codes will disable any previous sets.

Spot on advice - if it helps here is the official guide

Offences are unique to the character, so you could have 3 characters on a Jagex Account, one muted, one banned and the other with no offences.

In some super rare cases that won't concern most people, we do block access to all characters under a Jagex Account, examples being where the player is under 13 years old or we have very serious and credible reasons to believe that the player may present a risk to other people IRL.

These outliers aside, action is taken at character not account level though.

Hi - we've received your support ticket and will get back to you shortly. We have been contacted by somebody claiming that the character you imported is not yours, effectively raising an ownership dispute. We can't go into too much detail here, but we will reply to your support ticket.
