Name Sale QUESTION

[da1one1]

Lets say I buy an account and we use a OMM. I give the OMM the rsgold and the other guy changes the account's registered email to my registered email, is there any possible way for him to recover the account?

PS: He does not have original log in, he isn't original owner.

Yes, its possible if he knows the recovery information such as all 3 old passes, creation date, ISP, zip/postal code etc...

How so? Doesn't it still ask him to confirm from the registered email? How does the recovering process work, I have no idea, I thought it still makes you confirm with the registered email if you try to recover with all info.

Runescape accounts are always recoverable. Thats a risk you have to be willing to take. Your best bet is to buy an account of a highly trusted member.

Is there anyway someone could go into detail, like possibly explain in detail why they are saying this?

Well, you only use your Email to change password and such, but to recover your account you are still using the normal recovery system.

Check for yourself, Go on runescape website, under the log-in press "forgotten Password" and write in a username and check for yourself

I did, I wrote in my username and clicked next. Then it gave me 6 attempts to type in the registered email for my account, I failed on all 6 attempts and it then told me to try again in 1 hour, and exited me out of the process.

Ohhh, then i most of done that on a account that didnt have a email account.

Tryed this here on my other account and its true. But, i still think that there is a way to recovery your account even though your email is not registered.

Yeah I double checked this on 3 other accounts, it did the same thing. It kicked me out after 6 failed attempts. Well there is still other people saying there are ways, can one of you please explain to me then?

You are better off letting an OMM hold the money until the name is transferred. Here's a name transferring guide - http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=996383.

Sm321 is right, accounts are always recoverable, don't let the new update fool you.

With the new update system the recovery submission page is sent directly to the registered email. It makes sense this way because in order for someone to "successfully" steal your account, they would have to steal your email as well, because in order to change your password they'd need access to your email. On a side note though, there are ways around this. I've experimented with the new system for the means of protecting myself and taking safety measures if I'm purchasing an account. If you email account support with all of the recovery information and claim that your computer has been attacked (Keylog, RAT, any other sort of risk that creates information logs of computer activity), its recoverable with that claim in addition to any important and previous information on the account, depending on its validity. From experience I've noticed that accounts are recovered 90% of the time if the email or recovery request is sent on the same IP that created the account that is being recovered.

Also you stated the person with the account isn't the original owner. *CAUTION*. That's a pretty common claim that account and name sellers (scammers) use to protect themselves. If the account is recovered they use that claim as a shield to hide behind because they can pretend that the "original owner" recovered it and not them. Most of the time people use that claim so they can rebound their fall when it comes up in a dispute.

Hope this clears up any confusion, trade newcomers with caution and keep in mind that accounts are always recoverable.

Thanks man, that was a nice read. The only thing that I'm tied up on though is that there is no possible way to get to the recovery part without getting the registered email validation correct, if you fail all 6 attempts it wont allow you to go forward with going to that part, the part where you can type in all the info you know about it.

Yep exactly, that's what they implemented with the new update. It's possible to send in a manual recovery if you go to the player support section on their contact us page. If you email all of your recovered details and explain how your computer was at risk (or claim that it was) it usually works out if your ip matches the one that created the account. These manual request are sent in through a regular email instead of the actual recovery submission page.
