Hey guys,

Mod Gambit and Mod Noodles here from the Player Support team!

It’s time to update one of the most familiar pieces of content in game and YOU have the chance to make an impact! As part of Account Security Week , we’re updating the Stronghold of Security in Old School. At the turn of the new Deadman season, as players rush to the Stronghold in their thousands, now is the perfect time to revamp the old questions asked by the Gates of War, Rickety doors, Oozing Barriers and Portals of Death!

We challenge you to think of the best security related questions you can, for players to be faced with in the Stronghold. Those who can think of the best questions to promote securing your account, will win the following:

• Their questions featured within the Stronghold of Security
• An Easter Egg in the form of your RSN hidden somewhere within the Stronghold
• Two weeks of membership!

For ideas and inspiration to form your own questions, you can check out our security pages below:

Account Security Tips
Phishing
Security Software
Keeping Your Email Secure

To be in with a chance of winning, please post your question, along with three multiple choice answers as a comment on this thread. For example:

Who should you share your password with, when asked?

A) Player Moderators
B) Jagex Moderators
C) Nobody

For any of you who haven’t seen already, we’re also hosting two other competitions over on Twitter @JagexSupport. The first is a daily quiz and the second a Cryptic Clue hunt. Remember to include
#AccountSecurityWeek
in your replies over there for even more chances to win some membership!

This competition runs from the time of this post until Wednesday the 18th of July at 1pm BST. The usual competition rules apply, to have a read, please see here . Edited replies won’t be eligible to avoid plagiarised responses. Jagex reserves the right to take the final decision regarding competition entries. For example, not using any inappropriate display names in the revised Stronghold of Security.

Thanks for reading – we look forward to your responses and picking the winners who will be chosen on Monday 16th July.

Best of luck to you all!

I posted a reply a bit ago but apparently it has been removed? Bug maybe?

Question : How do you create a good Runescape password?


A) You use your pets name as your password.


B) You make a password with capitalized letters, numbers and special characters. (preferably longer than short).


C) You make a password with your favorite food + 2-3 numbers. (Example Pizza424)


Correct answer: B


Best of luck to everyone!

I have noticed there are a lot of people these days doing giveaways on external platforms like Discord. I know Jagex can't control what kind of content is displayed on these platforms and it would be unfair to ban them completely because there are genuine players who use them to help players, so my suggestion is to have something in your safety section on what to look out for/keeping your account safe if using these platforms.

Question: If a player is advertising in-game for a giveaway on an external platform (i.e. discord) which requires you to sign up on an external website, what should you do?


A) Sign up on the website, you gotta be in it to win it!


B) Tell your friends about the website and get them to sign up too!


C) Don't sign up on the website as it may contain hidden software which could compromise the security of your account.


Correct Answer: C

Question: Keeping your email secure is of crucial importance. To make sure nobody gains access to it, what can you do to further secure your email account?

1) Tell a friend or family member your password.

2) Utilise the same login details as your RuneScape account.

3) Enable 2-Step authentication on your email account.
