As someone who was heavily into Rs1 and 2, I could never imagine trying to play this game again. Just reading these posts make my head spin it feels like a Korean MMO now.

RS'3' is just the same as RS2, as in same accounts etc. No progress wipe or anything.
It was branded RS3 when they did a big update to interfaces, etc. They also tried to move the game into HTML5, but that failed. Although a C+ client isn't apparently too far off now.
It is no longer branded as RS3, just simply RS.

Both RS3 and 07Scape are still both lovely games we only play because Sunk cost fallacy tho. (Okay and the quests are pretty good sometimes)

I like the minigames though.

And there is something satisfying about afking a skill while doing actual work

Just a heads up to everyone, my account (Arsenes) was hacked, and my best guess is from something being downloaded from tip.it. Went there last night to use one of their calculators, account was fine this morning but the password has been changed as of now. Currently trying to get it back before the bank pin resets, but the email address registered to the account is an old one & of course I forget the password. I've had issues with tip.it before, so don't go there. Dumb mistake.

tipi.it has keyloggers? for real?

I use that poo poo all the time (mostly skill calcs) and have never had issues

PSA: don't do lava stryke wyrms because they are broken right now if a pker attacks you when you first attack a wyrm you can't attack the pker for like 30 seconds and the lava wyrms have a special attack that pulls you towards them then they come up under you to deal massive damage if you don't get out of the way in time if a pker stuns you when this happens it can be fatal and there is almost no way to avoid it. so essentially it's suicide right now don't do it.

I can't say 100%, I just know that I visited it last night for the first time in awhile, and now have my account compromised. I was also hacked a few years ago, and it was verified that it was caused by someone compromising tip.it and getting access to peoples emails. Like I said, could be wrong, but since I've had problems with the site before, it's immediately what came to mind.

I heard that hackers were using OSRS to brute force passwords so if you don't have the authenticator that may be why.

I had an interesting time of being attacked by an invisible player there yesterday, so there's just a whole bag of broken nonsense going on at lava strykewyrms right now. Echoing your statement of avoid at all costs (unless you 3-item).

That's what I've heard too, I thought OSRS had some login attempt lockout if you entered the wrong password multiple times? Best thing you can do is attach an authenticator to your account as soon as you get it back.

It looks like they have him running a bot in Lumbridge castle with the other bots here on world 6, but it's not working properly. Joachim and Bloodstain are taking care of pictures.

edit: really, someone get on twitter/Reddit whatever the hell Jagex actually responds to and get someone moving on this account-hack.

Yeah, I should have had an authenticator, my bad there. I sent Jagex a message asking them to lock the account and gave them a new email to contact me at. Told them I could provide them with any account information they'd need. Lets hope they see the message before the bank pin resets, that would suck pretty bad. I'm heading to hockey now, i'll keep you guys updated!

He keeps saying "it's me, I've had this account tied to my email since 2002," so it looks like he probably got into old email you don't use and requested the password that way.

Okay, at least it's not a problem with a keylogger then. I know the email account, I just lost the piece of paper I had the password on. Kept the account tied to that email thinking it would be safer since I don't use it for anything else, hasn't that bit me in the rear end :S

If you cant get your account back/don't want to start over I have a few former goons accounts from when they've stopped playing and I know at least one of them has overloads and stuff so they aren't horribly far behind!

I appreciate the offer, but I've been on the same account since 2001. I'm pretty sure I'll at least get the account back, it's the bank I'm most worried about.

I've had that problem before. Someone had somehow gotten into the old email address that was tied to my account, and requested a password change that way. I got my account back by making a new account and using the 14 day membership trial to post in the appropriate topic on the forum (which I'm having trouble finding, they might have gotten rid of it). It was definitely faster and more efficient then going through the website's system, which quoted (but did not guarantee) results in 1-3 months.

This was probably over a year ago however, and it's possible their ticket system has improved. Their support twitter is directing people to it and saying they try to respond within 24 hours. No idea if that's actually the case of course.

Hope you get your account back soon. :(

I screenshotted a conversation with the hacker, but he basically wants to take half your cash stack for the "promise" of giving your password back. Right now, he's waiting on a guy who apparently knows how to get your pin, so let me try and paste it here.

Pretty obvious he's just trying to get the pin now to save the trouble of waiting for it to expire, I think. I've never heard of "a guy" who can break into banks like that, and there's nothing binding him to do anything he claims other than his word.

Also, it goes without saying, but don't PM Arsenes' account during all of this, because he's a brittle and lovely account-stealing pubbie who can currently still do poo poo to Arsenes' account, like resetting combat skills.

It's out of our hands, so don't contact Arsenes.

Just a reminder to everyone that if you have Arsenes on your friends list and the hijacker is online, don't loving talk to him. He's just an annoying baby who whines about harassment and becomes more likely to do things that could jeopardize the account completely.

Alright, just got home, thanks Flex for the screens. He hasn't seen my bank, 150m isn't half, he's just trying to get my pin. Basically going to come down to whether or not I can get ahold of Jagex before the pin resets. Going to wake up and deal with it early tomorrow, like I said I was on early this morning and I believe a pin has 3 days? So fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for the help.

But note two things:

For players with Bank PINs set, you will be asked for this before you start the process. You'll also get three warning confirmations before your skill is reset, just to make absolutely sure that you want to carry out the reset. The process is irreversible.

For those who are absolutely sure that they do not ever wish to reset a skill they can permanently turn off this feature by speaking to Nastroth and informing him of this desire. This action is irreversible.

Gonna go do that right now I think.

Seems like your atk+str+def levels have to be ridiculously low to use the resets, and it's only prayer+con or defence that can be reset, not all combat skills. So at least Arsene's skills should be safe.

Reason 571,648 and 571,649 not to play with pubbies, though the angry pubbie redditors are hilarious. On the other hand, there's a shameful number of Goonscape Redditors (who should bug Jmods about Arsenes on le reddit because Jagex are redditors).
