Ffs.....

My account recently that I have purchased has been locked for a week now. & no the seller is not trying to recover for his own purposes. This suxx, I thought locks only lasted up to three days...
anyone had similar expericen & the outcome?

 

if its locked jagex suspects its been hijacked with multiple ips or the seller is recovering it or someone is :S

 

Seller is recovering it for me

 

What's the reason it gives for the lock?

 

You're lucky it's only a week instead of permanently.

 

I've had an account stay locked for about a week before. I wouldn't start worrying about it until next week.

 

Contact the person you bought it off and have them do a recover if there trustworthy. If not, wait a week or 2 and see what happens.

 

Accounts can get locked forever if you screw up in the locked recovery process and make jagex suspect it was a sale of account. Currently jagex probably just suspects its an account hi jack.

 

Contact the person and see whats happening if he does not reply obviously is a scamer

 

It's only a week, you're lucky. I've had friends whose accounts have been locked for much longer.

 

Unlucky, only trade with extremley trusted traders with high rep if you want to buy an account...seems everyone just recovers accounts these days unlucky

if your lucky you can unlock it if it stays locked for a few months
i doubt it will though

 

Usually gets locked when the original owner keeps trying to recover.

 

They can detect IP changes and suspicious activity (stolen recovery tests, then immediate new recoveries, etc). If the appeal worked the first time, wait a week and it'll work.

 

Be sure to get the details right on the next appeal lock, contact the seller asap!
