I have absolutely no access to my other account (Ironman) anymore. In his actual email inbox there is an email from May for integrating into a Jagex account, which I can not remember in the slightest. I have tried all possible options on the Jagex support site, but without success, as neither the login email nor the username of the account seem to exist in the support database (I get denied my attempted support tickets due to non existing username/email). Therefore I can't create an account recovery ticket and have as last hope this forum here to recover my already very advanced account.

The account I am missing appears with its existence only under one condition. And that is after I actually created a Jagex account with the email of the account (about 1 week ago) and logged in with it today on the homepage. Immediately after logging into the homepage, I was shown the following:


It looks like I could somehow access the account this way, but no going further. I have tried all the passwords I have ever used on all my accounts or would.

My guess is as follows:
The account was somehow made into a Jagex account without my consent, without even integrating it into a real Jagex account. It is shown to me, as described and proven by the screenshot, as still somehow linked to the email address but not assigned to an actual jagex account. However, since The Account does not seem to exist in the Jagex database itself (see description from paragraph 1), it is again impossible for me to add the account to the now actually created Jagex account, since it both exists and does not exist at the same time, thus not accepting any of the account's login data.

Looking for help ASAP, since I'm really into playing this account as soon as necromancy comes out.

Hi there
Dont die Eat


So, a week ago you created a Jagex Account but didn't link any characters to it?

That image you posted above shows what happens when Jagex show you a suggested account to link.
The character was suggested because it shares the same validated email address as your Jagex account email.

This means: you know the registered email address of the account and it is showing you the display name. All you lack is the login.
You could try the tools on the Forgotten login support page to confirm the login.
Once you have the login, you can use that and the registered email to reset the password.

Looking an account up:
Accounts can only be looked up on the High Scores if they have been active within the past three months.
It sounds like you have been inactive for longer though you might be able to look up the account on RuneMetrics if you have an RS3 character.

About the Jagex Account created in May:
If a Jagex Account has been created and one of your characters added without your knowledge or consent, go to the Unable to submit an account recovery support page and use the 'Contact Us' button at the bottom to message Jagex for help.

Re your "My guess is as follows:" suppositions
I think your guesses are wrong though I am not saying I know exactly what is going on. I disagree with the poster above.
If the 'Forgotten Login' process draws a blank, you definitely need to message Jagex via the 'Unable to submit an account recovery' support page.

Original message details are unavailable.
... I disagree with the poster above...
If you are the true owner/creator of any account of yours, based upon new security measures, you are able to add those accounts to your Jagex Account.

If you only have partial knowledge and if there's evidence that you aren't the owner/creator of said account you are unable to add said account to your Jagex account.

Hey, Dont die Eat.

I'd definitely follow Malua's advice above. First, head to Forgotten login to see if you are able to identify the login of the account in question. If that doesn't function, then the other possible venue is to ask Jagex what's going on through the Unable to submit an account recovery just in cause your account may have been imported to a Jagex Account without your consent.

Let us know how it goes ^_^ .

Update:
Jagex support helped me to gain control of my account again, but with some very bad news...
Every single item of value has been removed from the account, therefore I have been hijacked...

Hoping for the Jagex support to rollback some of the items for my account, otherwise I couldnt be arsed playing that account anymore... (lost shadow dyed weapons and bunch of endgame stuff) =(
