    Account Selling/Buying

    I bought an account back in 2022. It was recently banned because I had it transferred to a "Jagex Account". It is against TOS to make a character under a Jagex Account if you aren't the original owner.

    Is there a work around I am missing?

    Also, I'm guessing a flag raises in the system automatically. I am not sure on that either, because the email I was using was the same for almost 2 years.

    Edit: I bought the account Feb 2, 2022.

    Was it banned as soon as you transferred it? The only ones I’ve heard of being banned, are ones being recovered after they are already linked to a jagex account

    No I'd log periodically but wouldn't really play. It was linked for about 6 months.

    Bans can happen to the character or the entire account. Also, sometimes Jagex just removes the character, sometimes they will ban the entire account, if there was a recovery.

    I think this is what happened, original owner, or someone who has interest, has tried to recover it. Even if they don't succeed, the Jagex account might be locked or banned afterwards since it will be reviewed by Jagex.

    The purchased character is likely gone unless you happen to know enough recovery info and want to get into a recovery battle with the original owner.

    Any other accounts you own that are on that Jagex account can be recovered if you know enough information or are original owner, although this can be tricky as well as Jagex has been known to not offer any support for these characters if they claim you broke their TOS and want them back. I have however, known of at least one case where they were successful in recovering a character.

    It is generally considered harder to recover a character on a Jagex account and they are most likely to catch if the account was bought or sold since an actual person sees the recovery request. Also, once you get it back, it is stuck as a Jagex account.

    Once legacy (non-jagex) accounts become mandated to convert to a Jagex acc, it is possible that they will do away with the recovery system, and then this might change.
