Once the Jagex launcher comes out later this year will this be a rs classic to rs2 situation where I will have to transfer my character to the launcher or will my characters automatically be there? I need my blue charms back.

As this is a questions about a feature that is yet to come, rather than an actual account issue, this thread has been moved to the Future Game Updates Forum.

Right now the Beta version of the launcher uses your existing RS account.

Soon to come will be Jagex Accounts, with better security & password options, and you will be able to merge all of your RS accounts into the one Jagex account. One account will hold multiple characters.

See the 2022 Account Services and Player Security Improvements News Post and the "2022 Roadmap" section of the
Jagex Launcher
page at

Yea I saw the migration process part so basically my question is lets say if I quit right now and don't come back for several years Will I still have my stats/items/wealth achievements etc on my account 10 years later? Like for example rs classic was removed years ago and people lost their stats and items for not transfering to rs2 will I lose all my progress if I were to quit now and not upgrade before I quit? I need my blue charms back.

You should still be able to log in with your current RuneScape account. It shows that in the image in the News Post

This is a misconception. Most players did not lose anything when RS2 was released.

When RS2 was released in March 2004, everyone's items and stats were automatically in RS2, as it was the continuation of main game of RuneScape, and Jagex's plan was to remove the RS1 servers. However, there were enough players that preferred the old version, that Jagex reopened some of the RS1 servers, renamed to RSC, and allowed players to transfer their items back to the original version. (See RS2 Launched! )

Then, as some of those players found out that their friends were playing and enjoying RS2, they wanted to move their items back to RS2, which was allowed for a short time in April 2004. It was only those players who transferred items back to RSC, and then kept them in RSC past the deadline to transfer them once again to RS2, who lost anything.
