Hi Jagex mods

2 of my children are now adults and used to play runescape.
Both probably aren't worried about losing their names although my daughter did try to log in about a year ago but had forgotten her pass. She was only ever a free member, but my son did have membership at the timewhich i had paid for. Both are low levels and haven't played for years.
Both accounts were created around 2004 -2005 and they don't even use the emails they used back then

I doubt their names would even be wanted by other players lol but do they need to contact you in some form to say its ok to release their names, or should i just contact you in some way giving their runescape names and say i have checked with them and they are ok to release, or do they just do nothing and they will be released automatically at some point.


If they meet the criterias, which it sounds like, their names will be released. I assume they have some automatic system for this as I can't imagine going trough tens of millions of names. You don't have to contact Jagex for them to release the names, only if you'd want to keep them and can't remember the login details. As you will have to log in every once in a while to keep your names but it sounds like you're fine either way. Hope this was of any use, I'll blame the time of the day if I completely misunderstood you. :P


Thanks for that. I'll ask my daughter if she was still wanting her name. I had told her how much runescape had changed so probably she was trying to log in to see, but not intend to play, but if she was wanting to keep it I'll get her to try resetting the pass or something. Her older sister had come back playing in the last 6 months so it is possible she may decide to join us again

I think this is a terrible Idea. I have gone months without playing, what happens to the accounts? are the accounts just deleted with all their skills and stuff? This game is very old and people have lives and every once and a while want to live them. 6 months is too short. 7 days is too short a warning, someone on holidays could miss it entirely. There was a time when Jagex never emailed ; people that have played long enough remember that.

Accounts that have their name taken for being inactive won't get their skills wiped. The J-Mod stated that they will simply be prompted to change their name to one that is available when they attempt to log in again if their name has been taken.
