I've had a very rare name on a permanently banned account since October 2011. The ban was for simply for 'goldfarming'. They have never even checked my appeal.
Is there any chance I will ever be able to get this username back? >_<
I have the same issue, mine was from 2010. They declined my appeal. I got an email back from the parents email thing. It was just a copy paste standard message that said to appeal through the rs website. Dont think there is a way.
