New Macroing Offense - Erasing Members

[KerokeroCola]

Logged into my SorcGarden mules today.... 10 of them had their members subscription erased. Is this a new macroing offense, or was I just the one who was targetted?

Check the account information, probably you have received a membership block and no negative days.

Just got this from [email protected] (in the Runescape messages system)

We are writing to let you know that your RuneScape subscription has expired.

Your account has reverted to free-to-play status for now. Don’t worry about your member’s items and skills; they are right where you left them and will become usable again once you choose to re-subscribe. Your character has been teleported to Lumbridge so you can carry on playing the free version of the game. Just log into a non-member’s world and you’re ready to go.

Whenever you are ready to get back into the member’s game, you are free to re-subscribe via our website. Go to:

www.runescape.com > Account > Account Management > Start/Extend Subscription

Simply log in with your account, follow the on-screen prompts to select your product and payment method and you’ll be back on our member’s worlds before you know it.

Feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

We look forward to seeing you back in game.

Kind Regards,

Jagex Billing Support

Oh wow. Jagex really are just about making money now. They don't give a fuck about bots it would seem.

Check the account information, if you have no membership block, then it is interesting...

 

[Lambda]

Wow... that's ridiculous. It's most likely another business strategy.

 

[nocturnal]

well it seems that your member is simply over.
But it might be a bug/their mistake. Imo you should contact thme and ask for memebrship recovery.

 

[WeRnIE]

It is probably a bug, membership block does not appear like that and it does not look as a punishment, Email Jagex billing support.

 

[Persia_Ugly]

Hmmm one of my sorc accounts suddenly ran out of members too.

 

[WeRnIE]

Then it is probably a new punishment, try to email Jagex, they would stop lots of botters in this way, really nice move.

 

[kmjt]

That's literally stealing on Jagex' behalf..

 

[onebigpackage]

Did your account also get rolled?
How long did your accounts go for before losing membership?

Agreed, it would not be in their place to remove payed membership, only to ban.

Strange situation.

It is "in their place" to remove membership.
You're paying for to play on the full version of the game. If you're not actually playing it, and breaking the rules simultaneously then why shouldn't they remove it?

It does suck though, hopefully you should have enough wealth on the accounts to pay for membership again.

Not really, but it would help Jagex.

Since a lot of paid/member accounts lagg the member worlds by botting so much to get gold for themself in game or selling it. So Jagex mainly wants to stop the botters in member worlds.

 

[kmjt]

Btw Kero how many sorc garden bots do you actually run? If 10 of yours potentially got members taken away because they knew you botted, sorc garden isn't as safe botting as we think it is. >_<

Yeah, the worlds really lag in sorc garden lol. Botter overload :S Hopefully this is a new punishment it's better then a ban. You would need to create a new account and make it mems anyway.

Some people got their money taken and did not received their membership, some says that they can not subscribe, hmmm...

 

[Dave.]

Same happened to me, i had 2 days members left, was about to trade all the herbs to my mule and i log back in to find i have no members -.- pissed me off so much lol

Well both yes and no, I just don't see removing membership being necessarily when they have the ability to either ban or leave the account alone.
