if the seller recovered it then why is it still locked ?
I say it's just someone that have been recovering it too much and got it locked by doing so many appeals.
try to cool down for a week or so and try recovering with whatever info you have and see if it's locked or not.
good luck...
It is not illegal in terms of laws...It is a bannable offense in RUNESCAPE but not in real life, laws don't carry on from runescape into the real world usually...bahaha.
Off topci: Well when you log into runescape you have agreed to the Terms of service. If you break them then jagex can make punish you irl (but the will most likely not tho).
Sorry for the acc got locked. Hope you get it back.
That means the owner tried to recover the account,
and jagex locked it in suspicion.
Without creation information there's little hope of getting it back
