Mac address

Dtwizzy · Aug 25, 2014

I didn't really know where to post this but I play a Runescape private server that I was Mac banned on, An admin is trying to unban me and said he needed my MAC adress and ip adress to do so. Is it safe to give him my details?

That all depends whether you want to take that risk of becoming unbanned?

However, he'll no doubt have access to your IP address as a standard procedure of being an Admin.

Is that information needed for me to be unbanned

Sounds dodgy to me - never heard of anyone banning by mac address

The owner did it because of a suspicion of RWT but after investigating found I hadn't done anything wrong. Now I'm being asked for them details so I can play again.

Pretty common on RSPS, happened to me personally, to a load of friends as-well. Basically means changing your IP won't be enough to logon if you're MAC banned.

I assume they would already have those details of yours if you logon via your actual IP, so I don't see the harm. - Don't quote me on this however, just google to be sure.
