Perma Banned a Hijacked account

[Torkkar]

so my story is fairly simple My account was Nearly max level had over $500cnd spent in membership fees, BUT I'm a user in mmo's prolonged to periods of inactivity & with no credit card MY last login was in 2016 when Walmart stopped carrying Runescape Membership cards.

Now imagine MY suprise when the MMO that got me into MMO's apears on steam & I can FINALLY finish all the quests only to find out MY Account was Perma Banned in 2018 for botting WITH a Jagex account Authenticator phone app & theres no way to get that account back?

Way to go Jagex shoot yourselves in the foot more I don't recomend this game if the dev companies own Authenticators Don't WORK and they have no way to contact them to get your account back. THIS is Theft plain & simple.

1. Recover your account -> https://secure.runescape.com/m=accountappeal/passwordrecovery

1 Recover account only works for a lost password.
2 Ban Apeal does NOT recover Macro & Botting bans so I CAN'T Apeal
3 Because I've been banned I can't access Runescapes Forums or any site features apart from account records to see how long I'm banned for & its for Life.

so I come Here to Warn buyers of the shady practices of a company that treat a player who been paying them since 1999

Yeah, released as a finished product in 2001. It started in 1998, and get this, DeviousMUD (also known as MUD client), a very early version of RuneScape, is completely rewritten by Andrew Gower and his brothers, who called themselves Jagex, standing for JAva Gaming EXperts. It is released in a public beta for a week, and then removed in 1999.

Now that doesn't mean the OP did play since 1999, but it's not impossible.

But they didn't say playing since 1999, they said paying.

Runescape launched in 2001 yes but the beta state with the members world was launched in 1999 and membership was needed to skill up beyond level 50 why do I have to explain this every time
