Thank you for your post SLR. I wish Jagex showed as much concern as you do. I would think that since this is still in 'Beta' or testing stage, they would know that there will be bugs and would be willing to work with people who experience them. My father's account Holmes Adler has been locked out for almost a week as he tries to get it back. All because he became a game 'guinea pig' by attempting to upgrade to the new Jagex Acct Launcher. He, as you pointed out in your post, is not even able to reach out on the forums because he cannot log in to them either. He has been playing for over twelve years and his account was nearing 120 in all skills. As many retirees he enjoyed playing and interacting with the many friends he has made over the years. Now he is completely cut off from them. A recent response to an inquiry to Jagex support told him that it's unfortunate that to provide the level of security players want, some legitimate players will lose the ability to play the game. Jagex has no way of fixing whatever is wrong. This is from Mod Nox. We will likely not know how many other players are affected because they cannot post on forums to ask for help or support each other. Jagex is willing to sacrifice legitimate players 'for the greater good' in their opinion. I know many players who are now afraid to even attempt the upgrade after seeing what can happen. Its like playing Russian Roulette, you might upgrade with no problems, but if you're one of the unlucky ones who has something go wrong, you are just collateral damage in Jagex's eyes.
