I have two fairly ok accounts on runescape. well I took a lil break about 3 weeks ago. I just found out that two of my good friends stole both of them. I cought one before they could change the recovories? do I have that spelt right? and the otherone I didn't get in time and they change the password and recovires. I've talked to one of them and he says he doesn't know what the password is and the otherone lives along way away.

That's why is says on the site that you shouldn't give your password to anyone. I hope you are not trying to blame Runesacpe for this. It's clearly your fault.

Yea, you should be able to get it back, if you remember everything. If you were a member they gave you a number to retrieve your account. Also if the membership was brought through credit card, you can do it like that. They also can check to see if the account was made on the same ip you are using, along with the first password and stuff like that.

Well, if I were you, kill your friends :-P Prehaps next time ad some uncrackable security questions and a random password :-) and change it every week or month or 2 weeks, change it frequently ;-)

contact the runescape staff if you can and see if you can get those accounts back - usually they will be able to get it back to the rightful owners - Blizzard and Steam does it even though it can take a while and if you can prove you own the account and the changes were not authorized by you then i am sure they should be able to help you in some way

I've had that happen to me.
Except it was with a website my friend gave to me.

I hope you get things sorted out.

steam is very good with it. My friend lost his password or something. We are not really sure what happened. He had his password for steamed saved for like 2 years, then one day it didn't work. He used Kaspersky 2009 anti virus. Top of the line virus scanner, no key loggers or anything. Well anyway he contacted steam and they told him to right a code down and take a picture of it with is cd key. Then they let him change his secret word and everything. Kind of off topic, but I just wanted to tell how good steam is.

it happened to me twice this past year - they detected someone trying to use my account and they locked the account lol, TWICE in 2 months - it took them over a week each time to fix it

i will say they are good, but very slow compared to other companies - and on that note, I hope runescape staff is faster at responding with that than steam cuz a week can be too late and in runescape they can get rid of your items and stuff, not really sure how that works

good luck getting it back to juice

They could get rid of item's but there would be no point. It would just cause displeasure to the owner of the account. Theirs no way to get to get the item to another account. So hes probably using the account him self.

yeah I have had a account hacked before it was not fun trust me
but I guess all you can do is start over and create a new account
or try to get your old account back
I dont know how

well i don't know what to say other than contact jagex about your member account ( if that was the one that you can't get back ) and then if they ask you about your recovery questions maybe type in what they were then there should be a few boxes about what your previous passwords were and then it should say about if your account was a member then you should type in your information there. so if you have all that you might be able to get your account back. then i believe there is a little comment box that you can type stuff pleeing your case. but there you should type what had happend that your account was stolen and you can't get it back. i know how it feels when your account gets stolen. it happened to me when i had four santas and like 20m cash. i was furious. so now i'm back to 1m cash about 10m items and 1 santa. miniscule to what i had before but it's better than nothing. and the first time i got hacked was when santas first came out and i had one with full addy. back then. full addy meant you doing ok. and full rune meant you were rich.

Well i've read everyones post and this is the best answer that I can think of.. It's happened to me plenty of times in the past and if you've contacted Jagex staff and told them all of your info and had no reply or no answer in about a week, kill them haha :D [Your friends, that is]
