RuneScape Account Hacked and Banned—All You Need To Know

Was your RuneScape account hacked and banned? No need to panic because DoNotPay will help you get out of trouble. You aren’t the only one with this issue as hackers prey on RuneScape accounts—especially on those that haven’t been used for a while.

If you don’t want the countless hours you spent on this game to go down the drain, you will need to send an appeal. Read our simple guide to find out what you need to do to prove your innocence and unban your account.

How To Know if Your RuneScape Account Was Hacked and Banned?

If RuneScape bans your account, you will receive a notification about why it happened and when the violation occurred. To get more details on the violation, you can go to your Account Status page.

You will know that your account was hacked if you weren’t playing the game at that time. Check the location of the last log-in as well. If the address is different from where you log in normally, you’ll have another piece of evidence.

Certain offenses can make the appeal process more difficult. RuneScape doesn’t permit appeals if your account was banned for:

  • Fraud
  • Real-world trading
  • Macroing
  • Bug abuse
  • Repeated offense that got you suspended in the past

If your account was banned for one of these offenses, you don’t need to cancel your Jagex subscription right away. You should file an appeal and prove that your account was hacked.

Unban Your Hacked and Banned RuneScape Account

To oppose the unfair penalty, you need to provide evidence that someone else is responsible for the violation. Include the screenshots of your IP address and the IP address of hackers and any form of proof that you weren’t online when the incident happened.

Your account may be hijacked, but you need to appeal the ban decision as that is the current status of your account. You need to explain that your account was hacked and include evidence that proves it in the appeal.

To initiate the process, do the following:

  1. Go to the RuneScape Support page
  2. Click on Your Account
  3. Choose the Account Bans option under Account Settings
  4. Find the Appeal Ban button at the bottom of the page and click on it
  5. Select Banned to answer the question Has your account been banned or muted
  6. Select No under Can you log in to your account
  7. Click Can’t Log In
  8. Answer Yes to Do you know your login name or email
  9. Choose Yes under Do you know your password—if the hackers changed your password, select No and follow the process for password recovery
  10. Select Yes under Do you know your registered email address
  11. Answer Yes under Do you have access to your registered email address—unless hackers got a hold of your email address as well
  12. Answer the question Do you receive an error that your account has been disabled
  13. Choose Yes under Is this the first time you are appealing the ban on your account
  14. Select Appeal My Ban

With a well-written appeal and strong evidence, the reps should unban your account. It can take up to 14 days until you receive a response from RuneScape support agents.

Note that you need to be respectful but convincing, so how you write the letter plays a huge role. Do you want to simplify the procedure and avoid the pressure of writing the appeal? , and you won’t have to deal with time-consuming forms and lengthy explanations—we will take care of it!
