Hello all!

I usually play RS3, but I wanted to dive into some middle-school nostalgia and try OSRS again.

Unfortunately, I ran into an issue with the signup for OSRS.

When attempting to sign up, I received the error message "Your password contains invalid characters."

Not sure what those characters were, I began trying new combos in my password manager, taking off certain characters that might be weird or unsupported like ~ and ,

After a few tries, I was locked out and unable to create a new account.

Once locked out, I Googled the password requirements and found a detailed Wiki article explaining them. Then I understood that OSRS doesn't accept any special characters at all.

In hindsight, I should have Googled the requirements sooner. But I ask that Jagex change the message "Your password contains invalid characters." to something that explains what characters are accepted or links to that detailed wiki article for help. I find it friendly when I can find all the information I need to use a game within the game versus third-party resources like Google.

Thank you for reading!

The account system is being revamped right now and replaced with a new Jagex Account system. The new account creation allows the use of special characters and case sensitivity, and errors are more detailed on the page itself.

So hopefully by the end of the year Jagex Account creation will be open to new account creation. And ofc, those that transition over will have new 1-click character creation tied to their Jagex Account login.
Can I turn in a paper without citing all sources?
