Runescape classic account

[Bendik]

I have a runescape classic account but hasn't been logged in for around 6 years, it gives me the message "You need a members account to login to this world" whereas my other non RSC says "Unable to login. That is not an RS-Classic account"

So I'm wondering if I buy normal membership for the classic account, will it make me able to login or will it change the message accordingly to: "Unexpected server response"?

(Note: If you haven't already played Runescape Classic at least once in the last 6 months on your account, you will not be able to login. You will instead get the message "Unexpected server response". This is deliberate.)

Just looking for confirmation

Yes, if you haven't logged in 6 months don't bother buying membership.

Thanks, quite a shame though.

Actually, I was banned for 2 years then got unbanned and still had Classic access.

bummer

I was told this by people on sythe too. I went ahead and bought membership anyway and it worked for me. my guess is that JageX missed some accounts during the 6 month period; or that if you played in the actual RSC instead of when RSC was open to everyone that the 6 month rule is void. I'm not saying that you have a 100% chance that your account is a "Classic" account. But, from my experiences there is a chance.

I tried it with one of my old rsc accs and it didn't work =/

I've also seen images of people that has "you last logged in" over 6 months on classic aswell, after the RS2 release, but I don't really dare buy members as the account is level 10 or so in RS2.

No that thing does not work, just go ahead and buy member it will work. I logged into my rsc account the other day and when I logged in it said 1037 days last logged in or something.

You won't know until you try, so you might as well.
Good luck.

If you're a non-member it always says that.
If you're a member and don't have RSC access, only then does it say that the account is not RSC-Enabled.

My Suggestion: If your only reason to become a member is to see if you have RSC access, then don't. If you want to become a member, and you'd also like to check just out of curiosity (it is highly improbable that you'll still have RSC access), then it's up to you.

Oh didn't think of it like that. I'll just leave it alone.
