UNLINKED MY STEAM ACCOUNT

[Jetiks]

hey everyone i was trying to be able to use my osrs steam account on runelite or mobile and it never works to login with my steam account details... so i just looked up options on runescape support and they said to link an email to your account follow these steps, it then said i had to unlink my steam account. now that i have unlinked my account i dont have a way to sign back into runescape with my steam email and im not sure how to recover my account from steam.. has anyone else made this mistake or had this issue??? how can i get my account i just had linked to my steam account back onto it? PLEASE HELP ( account was created through steam)

Your added email login works as the username to your previously unlinked Steam-created account (plus the pw). Once you reopen your OSRS client, click "Log-in with an existing account". If you press continue, you'll eventually be redirected to the Jagex website, wherein you can put your email/log in and pw. This will link you again to Steam.

Avoid clicking "Create new account via Steam, because you'll be just linking and making another Steam-created account. If you accidentally made a new one, you'll need do what you did before -- add an email login and pw to that RS account, then unlinking it again from your Steam account.

Tip: An email login/username doesn't have to be real at this point, you just need the format ([e-mail]) Afterwards, adding email verification to your account needs a real email.

If you want to log in via RL or mobile, use the email/log in username and pw of the RS account.

You can't go to the un-link screen at the moment, Jagex is having issues server-side so people are unable to login to the game or access their account settings. You'll need to wait until further notice and things are up and running.

Odd. I created around 4 accounts on steam, unlinked them from steam, then linked them on a dump e-mail once i was done. If you havent linked an e-mail or any other method then i'm afraid your only choice is contacting support.

[Mr. Solo Dolo]

this just happened to me right now, did you end up getting your account back? any help would be useful!

[are you aaron burr, sir?]

I only have the "Sign-In to Steam" option after accidently putting my DOB and now being stuck on the new account which i want to exit out of, any help?
