Hello Jagex, i'd like to start this with great job, your game has captivated me for 22 years of my life, it has shaped me and molded me in many ways, taught me hard lessons and perseverance.
However, youve recently made a change, that gates my ability to complete the varrock medium diaries without modifying my accounts login credentials permanently and i really dont think thats a fair thing to do to your community, my main account is 20 years old, ive spent 20 years logging in the same way and now you want me to change that by forcing me to upgrade to a jagex account for an emote to complete the varrock medium diaries.. come on guys.. let us choose, some of us love our original log in name.. it gives us nostalgia.
i understand the need for account security, and i understand your want for everyone to have all accounts in one place, offering additional things like bank slots is a wonderful choice youve given your consumers.. but today i realized my biggest regret was not finishing the stronghold of security years ago when osrs released because now anybody trying to complete it not only needs 2 factor authentication (which i also didnt want to add to my account due to losing authenticator access in the past on other games and never regaining access) but is REQUIRED to change their original runescape account to a jagex account. how is that even fair? its either give up original login details or dont progress.. ive given you guys alot of money over the years, between memberships for 20 years on at least 1 account and up to 5 accounts at a time, between treasure hunter spins, between bonds... and really truly this is kinda my tipping point.. its only been a couple months of forcing players into jagex account to finish stronghold.. and its only VERY recently you even allowed players to create a jagex account for a new character.. player choice is your BIGGEST thing for osrs, but youve removed it.. you promised a fancier reward from the cradle of life, not forcefulier.

Jagex account is better security and easier safer log in.

I also been playing 20 years. I dont know why you do not want an easier log in and better security for an account that is clearly close to you is bizarre.

What is the issue with getting jagex account? It is better i have 0 regrets changing to it. It doesnt take long and benefits are worth it

Has is player choice removed? Do you not want security on your account?


How is this enough to make you want to quit after loving the game for 22 years? Its just changing 1 thing that is only a benefit to you

The security of the game will ensure the game you've loved for decades will continue on safely :)

Jagex accounts are consistently getting QOL updates with respect to multiple character names and the seamless ability to play amongst them in one place.

Really annoys me when players like you complain about the small changes which will benefit the longevity and security of your account. Players moan when Jagex don't act on security and players moan when they do.

This a good thing and will stop players from potentially getting hacked and Jagex are doing their best to prevent this.

Stop whining over something so minor.

I'm also a long time player...and have been on OSRS on and off since day one of it's release back in 2013 (although it incorrectly say's December 2015 next to my name to the left for
some reason?) - as well as played RS for several years prior to that.

As much as I think the Jagex Account idea is a good option for those who want it...Jagex
seem to eager to try and pressure or railroad as many people as possible into this option.

They need to back off a little with trying to push it so hard to everyone...in my opinion at
least - as not everyone wants it.

i have to agree with this 100%

people have been complaining for ages for better security. and during that time jagex were working on this. but couldnt say anything.

it gets released and people complain. or say its being pushed onto them.

The complaint from the first post was that they can't complete the Varrock Medium Achievement Diary set - without switching to a Jagex account.

Obviously completing this Diary is something that they really wanted to do...and to do so
they fairly feel they'll be forced to switch over to a Jagex Account.

Stop whining over someone's legitimate complaint...that's the real annoying thing.

This person has a valid point...and I hope Jagex will take it into consideration.
