    @JagexSupport I had this old Ironman account i played like 4 years ago. I only know the RSN and the password. I dont remember what email I used for it and its email login. Is there any way for me to recover it in this state?

  • Durianstorm1 Durianstorm (@Durianstorm1) reported

    @OsrsSwift @OldSchoolRS tons of people care about the log, quit acting like the devs have to do exactly what you want when you want it. Those are all problems they've been wroking on **** takes time. Chill out

  • morrisonsbag Bwyd - Steven (@morrisonsbag) reported

    @JagexSupport are services allowed to be done on osrs? If you pay/donate gp for the service to be done?

  • ExilerRS Exiler (@ExilerRS) reported

    @KiwidudeRS @OldSchoolRS @JagexAsh No, if it wasn't for Jagex's greed and stupidity this would never happened. It took them 5 hours and 300 tweets to acknowledge and fix the issue. Couldve been avoided if the 2 week "Beta" they did wasnt locked behind an Amazon PRIME Paywall. $11/month isnt enough? **** off

  • mrr0am3r James (@mrr0am3r) reported

    @JagexSupport Hi I’m having an issue getting onto my account, I have all the info etc however when I log in, it logs me into a low level account? I seem to have multiple accounts on the same one somehow and I can’t figure out how to get on my main?

  • DHeringerD Daniel heringer (@DHeringerD) reported

    @JagexSupport @JagexAsh Jagex what can I do to recover the password of my old account, I have the email and another account in that same email, but when I try to recover my 2007 account, error 15 occurs, and access is denied by Ip.

  • FPSunrise M (@FPSunrise) reported

    @JagexHelpElf @JagexSupport @RuneScape None it just doesn't let me log in, I just got an email when I tried too reset my password and it says my password has been changed but then I cannot login

  • KingJam63575561 King James (@KingJam63575561) reported

    @CallMeJaemz @OldSchoolRS They should optimize OSRS for iOS in general. iOS users experience this problem whenever they find themselves in a populated world/area. Gameplay on iOS is flawed. I never hear complaints from android users. Game seems to run smoothly for them.

    @OldSchoolRS Fix spawn camps...

  • amorfirion Amorfirion (@amorfirion) reported

    @Mineral__Man @OldSchoolRS i dont think you understand the issue that was occuring

  • KingJam63575561 King James (@KingJam63575561) reported

    @bigz33k @JagexSupport Yea it’s just soul wars that you can’t really play on iOS. I guess gotta wait until they fix it.

  • JagexCurse Mod Curse (@JagexCurse) reported

    @Mankedupmage @OldSchoolRS We're going to add a confirmation message to leave. Should solve this problem.

  • MicDaddio1966 Mike Richardson (@MicDaddio1966) reported

    @JagexSupport I signed up for the 12 mo Premiere mems & it appears that I have it. The issue is, my account shows I'm on a 3 month plan & I'm receiving emails about Jagex receiving my payments. Can someone please contact me to explain this? I'm perplexed.

  • KingJam63575561 King James (@KingJam63575561) reported

    @bigz33k @JagexSupport Yep. Unfortunately the iOS users are experiencing this problem. It’s annoying as ****.

  • Coytastrophe Coy (@Coytastrophe) reported

    @JagexHelpFrost @JagexSupport I understand that but why I try to login, it treats me like I am a fresh account on tutorial island. My account is somehow no longer attached to that email and I cannot login!

  • R93Dylan DylanR93 (@R93Dylan) reported

    @JagexSupport get your **** together. 20 year old game still lagging like ****. Fix your ******* servers

  • Coytastrophe Coy (@Coytastrophe) reported

    @JagexHelpFrost @JagexSupport Desktop client and no when I login with that email it doesn’t go to the right account. It’s like I’m a new account. Someone had to of changed my email or something

  • jamesrw217 ᴛᴏxɪᴄ ꒻ꋬꂵꏂꑄ (@jamesrw217) reported

    Can you please not allow people to burn logs on world 84 rs3 at lumbridge crator where the 20 year fest is. People are trying to cause massive lag and people are getting upset. Need jmod to come investigation @JagexSupport

  • Ereanith Ereanith (@Ereanith) reported

    @JagexSupport I have been having an ongoing battle for four days trying to recover my account from being hacked. Today I recovered my account successfully to be logged off after hopping worlds saying "Too many login attempts" and now someone on my account again. Please help me

  • TheMysticMungus ੭•̀ω•́)੭̸*✩⁺˚ (@TheMysticMungus) reported

    @King_D0GE @HeyImSwat @OldSchoolRS They need to do what they do in LMS and boost everyone to 99 and give gear sets I think. That would solve a lot of the problems I feel

  • UIM_Herblore UIM Herblore (@UIM_Herblore) reported

    @OldSchoolRS pls fix i have sent many bug reports

  • KingJam63575561 King James (@KingJam63575561) reported

    @JagexSupport Yup. I have reached out to and contacted them regarding this matter. I haven’t received a response yet. I will likely get one today however. I hope it makes a difference. I’m not the only one experiencing this issue.

  • NatintheHat491 Nat in the Hat 49 (@NatintheHat491) reported

    @JagexSupport The issue is the email was changed by the hijacker so now the recovery request goes to him i have checked my email I used and I dont have any messages at all

  • KingJam63575561 King James (@KingJam63575561) reported

    @bigz33k @JagexSupport Basically any populated area in the game will cause an iOS device to crash. It is very unstable, but if it’s given the attention it deserves, that can change.
