Give your opinion on my situation.

Now firstly, I see it 24.7 "omg I got hacked and.... why can't I recover my account" however this was a bit different. So currently I am 18 years old, with nothing much to do I usually hit up runescape as you do, anyhow I'm just going into this straight into this. In 2003 ish my account was created, created to what is now my brothers best friend he was extremely good at the game (top 150 at one point) and me being a mere age of 6-7 I was always intrigued to watch my brother play runescape, now Daniel the owner of the account was best friends with my older brother who didn't play runescape it was my other brother who was around 13 who used to play with all his friends, in 2006 Daniel decides to quit the game to pursue a career in the police force, he ended up giving my brother the account, the suspense to when we first saw the bank was amazing, around 50m in gold, santas, dragon chains, it really was awesome, however like a lot people they ended up quitting at around the 2008 mark when runescape changed to much, I started playing the account a lot, I achieved all the 99's on the account and devoted so much time into playing it, skip to a few days ago and when I tried logging on I realised somebody else was playing, anyway I send a recovery and get this as a response http://imgur.com/zE6AZaP. Please bear in mind that the hackers email is still set and the account isn't locked and the frustrating thing is I have recovered the account SEVERAL times with no issues, however after I I stopped paying for membership this month I get this email which I have never gotten, anyway hopefully someone can sympathize with me on this, I continued to pay for membership for atleast 5+ years and now despite basically been giving the account for good-you now say you're returning it someone who gave me it when I was around 7-6, come on, surely you should see this is bizarre, is there anyway you can revert this, this is so obvious haha, anyway so what happens to the account now? I mean I can still get in contact with the original owner (he is my brothers best friend and currently roommates) to work this out? Last few paragraphs I sent in my email, can someone on this subreddit see how harsh this is? Thanks.

 

That really is a situation. Give the details to the original owner and have him recover it, not much else you can do.

You almost got them to give it to you tho, super close. >.<

 

I will do, thing is he's a police officer so this must seem really pathetic, oh well he's doing it tommorow, checked the account, the hacker got so many levels up though :/

 

That's odd, unless it was a pure with like no defense. In which case, its a huge dick, or someone you know personally I'd say.

 

I rarely played rs when eoc and what not was released the hacker has ended up getting my like 95 dung, 99 summ, 99 prayer, 99 mage and all stats are like 80-92+, interesting

 

If it was a hacker then 100% recover it as long as you have creation info , if it's you trying to take advantage of someone playing on your acc then recovering after that person puts time and work into your account, then that is really fked up on your part and you should consider the time you r bout to take from someone else. I don't know or understand your situation 100% but l hope what ends up happening is what won't affect 1 party more than the other. Gl with your dilemma.

 

Had an issue like this with an account of mine not too long ago. Sounds like you may have better luck recovering your account as you're still in contact with the original owner. He will definitely be your best bet. When you do get the account back, make sure to secure it with the authenticator. Good luck.

 

You'll most likely get the account back with the original owner recovering, and free levels that the hacker got is a bonus.

 

Have your brothers friend (the original creator) try to recover it for you. They said they want the creator, give them the creator.

 

No lmfao I've been playing this since 2007, only been hacked in the last year or so without me knowing, but yea, I know who created the account and he gave it to me.

+thanks all.

 

You know the person IRL so you should be able to get it back...Gl with it though

 

Ask your brothers friend and hopefully he can help you. Also next time space out your post a little bit just to make it a little easier to read. Good Luck!

 

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL found out the person on the account was the original owner, he recovered it thinking noone played, jesus christ lmfao

 

Damn, is he giving it back to you?

 

Nope, and i dont blame him, he is a runescape god, was top 100 in 2004-5, seriously he's nearly maxed it in a couple of months, just started my ironman, all is good

 

just contact the original owner of the account and tell him to get it back for you?

 

This thread is very interesting , even though the case never happened to me ,
I can only help advise ,,
go him to speak well ,, maybe you want to sell or rent, or exchange with anything you want ..
the point is to come and talk ,
to get a good solution ...
