Well, lately, it seems Jagex has been a little off.

Firstly, though not really wrong - basically destroying what was left of RSC.

Then, I know not if you've heard this or not, but you have to be at least 13 to play Runescape now. Try to make a new account, list yourself as 13 and under - you can't do it. So much for it being a family game.
Maybe it was needed, but maybe not. :\


Then, I just heard from some people - characters with names like '000oooOOO' and such are being banned. I think it is due to some people with those names trying to get out of being reported (you can't tell the difference between an O and a 0 on RS, I believe). Here's what someone I know got:

<Rmp92992|AutoFighting|Sleeping> We regret to inform you that your account has been banned due to the character name being inappropriate for use in RuneScape.
<Rmp92992|AutoFighting|Sleeping> The Terms & Conditions of membership clearly state that "You must not choose a Username that infringes the rights of any third party, impersonates Jagex staff or other users, or which is deliberately confusing or which is offensive, racist, obscene or otherwise unlawful."

I don't know him well, but I don't think he did scam or anything. I know not if Jagex are doing this to all OOOO000ooo accounts, and I really hope not. We have honest OOOO's out there ( http://www.ooo.ytmnd.com btw).

So, it would see Jagex is becoming more strict and whatnot.

Post your thoughts.

If you're younger than 13 but you don't know to lie about your age you shouldn't be playing RS anyway.

Eh, I suppose JaGex has to take a stand if they get numerous complaints from elsewhere.

Obviously people can lie about their age, but it's the principle that Jagex did it.

I'm not about to promote lying, but then again the form doesn't ask for an exact birthdate. I'll leave that in the open.

Jagex has changed in half a decade...they used to be so close with their community. Now, everything is getting the cold shoulder in the name of a few pence.

Thoughts?

I know some pk'ers that make their names confusing so it's hard as hell to look them up. I wouldn't see a point in banning them though. I can understand if they have been flagged, or seem to be up to autoing. I'm sure plenty of people will be outraged to hear about some of the decisions JaGeX is taking.

yea, the bannings seem quite dumb. Ive seen an 0000oooo000o00 guy at edge quite a few times and would be a shame to see him get banned. Age limit seems alright with me, though i started when I was 10.

Indeed, it would seem Jagex despises most players really - I kind of agree.

And it would seem all ooo000OOO names are getting banned. What of the honest ones, that have played a long time - getting banned? That's just bull.

I do believe they are getting more strict. I saw a screenshot the other day of someone getting a message that they were baned due to their name of "Raindeer Poo".
