Hi, over the years I have had many recovery attempts on my account, and several have been successful.

While a good friend of mine, Kayla (Mod Acorn) and her husband (Mod Weath) were at Jagex, my account was not recovered, as she had said she would prevent it from happening by placing a note on my account. Shortly after their departure it has occurred again. This time I was on a slayer task on OSRS at work, on mobile. Logged out to take a service call and came back to a changed password and I was 450m poorer. I was offline for 15 minutes, how could an appeal be granted on an account that was just active?

Took many hours to recover my account again. With my PIN pending deletion.

I have an email account that is dedicated to only Runescape, and it is 2 factor Auth, it also had a randomized password. My account itself is 2 factor Auth, I do not visit sketchy websites. I am knowledgeable and I have an IT degree in website development and design, so I know what to look for to identify phishing links/web sites.

I have been an active subscriber for 17 years and I miss playing this game. I have had billions stolen from me, and my hard work destroyed. Short of making a new account, can further recovery attempts be blocked?

Thank you all in advance.

Wow Kay was Mod Acorn??!?! We used to speak loads back in the day via her personal account, and I became friends with her through Weath (I knew they were married, but didn't know she worked at Jagex also lol).


As for the recovery attempts - it's very unfortunate. Also, the HLF has been dead for close to a decade now, so you're very, very unlikely to get any gold posts on here. Your best bet would be joining the RS3 Discord and asking for further advice in #account-help, or tweeting @JagexSupport.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Yeah, Kay was Mod Acorn. She is now at Square Enix. Crazy to think about little old Cuddle Kay with her halo and untrimmed fm cape becoming who she did. Proud of her.

Unfortunate the forums are dead, the last time I had to get my account back I used Twitter and it was very.. lacking in the help/information department. I'm hoping the new changes to customer support and security will be beneficial. In 17 years I've never forgotten my account information. I think I will try the Discord, provided I can find the invite link.

Thank you.
