back when I used to play runescape, my account got hacked, and I lost just about everything, including 5 billion gold. That's one of the reasons I stopped playing, along with the fact that it was getting boring.

I can't believe some are still so foolish to fall for these scams. Word of advice: If it sounds too good to be true, especially on the internet, it probably is.

Too true. I tried runescape, but it sucked so bad that it made me want to punch a baby.

That's exactly what I want to know. I mean, you've never played it, so how do you know you don't like it?

It's too hard. Plus, alot of people hack your accounts.

I had an account along time ago.

It's not hard and I've never been hacked on Runescape.

Now there's something I never knew. I don't have the least memory of you ever having one.

Post by: TP Zelda on August 04, 2007, 05:02:47 PM
Well, it was hard when I had the account. And that was a long time ago too. Probably before we had the first laptop. Probably before I even signed up here. I may try it again sometime.

I probably won't join Runescape, the risk of getting hacked seems too high for me.
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: darkphantomime on August 04, 2007, 05:49:02 PM
That's like saying "I won't join Gamefaqs because the risk of getting flamed is too high for me"

Okay, maybe I'm not really making a case for either thing... *coughs*

Brilliant analogy JQ.  

You only get hacked in runescape if you let someone do so.  If you give out your password (Which is supposed to be impossible now) then of course you're going to get hacked.

I've never played Runescape, but I've seen it at my friends house. I'm not going to say how bad it was, watching it. :'(
I think 420chan hacked it, since they said they would raid it. Sorry for your loss, though, since you put so  much time into it.
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: DW on August 04, 2007, 09:32:34 PM
420chan doesn't hack Runescape accounts. 8)

Sorry, but the only way you can get hacked is if you give out your password. Never, EVER give anyone your password if they say they'll give you a bunch of stuff.

I have been hacked once, but it was because of a friend who...nevermind..

Saying your password is, in fact physically impossible now.  If you were to say something pertaining to your password on runescape, it would say instead of you saying your message: Sorry, but there seems to be a word in there that has to do with your password.  If my password were, say LegendofZelda(Don't get any ideas, it's not it) I couldn't say Legend of Zelda or anything to do with Zelda(the character).  If you do manage to get hacked, I recommend checking your computer's security

Yeah, I was hacked when I gave my friend my password so he could level my guy up while I was on vaction. But this was back when we were 10 or so years old.
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: Gamefreak on August 05, 2007, 09:19:59 AM
I've never revealed my password.  Not even to my closest friends.
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: DW on August 05, 2007, 09:54:51 AM
See, you can't trust 'friends', except for certain ones. One friend of mine was eyeing my hands as I typed in my password whenever he was over.
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: Zoratunic on August 05, 2007, 10:27:14 AM
Well, my friend didn't take my stuff, I know that. Besides, it's just a stupid game anyway, it's not like it affects real life.
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: DW on August 05, 2007, 10:30:42 AM
Then wy did you give him your password so that you would level up while you were gone :-*
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: darkphantomime on August 05, 2007, 10:32:35 AM
Because he was young and stupid maybe?

(Not to say that he isn't currently so...)
Title: Re:I been...
Post by: Zoratunic on August 05, 2007, 10:32:37 AM
That was back when I was all into it and everything. Now I think it's a boring, pointless, timewaster.

This isn't the topic to discuss Runescape gameplay.  If you want to do that, use the Runescape topic in the links.

Mine is jackal386.I haven't been on lately since I was having trouble loading it, but I finally got back on last night.

I don't think it's boring or pointless because I don't just focus on grinding levels like most people in the game, I like to enjoy the good community (although it's dwindling lately...) and play games and work on skills so I can help people out when they start. I'm getting extremely annoyed by all the 'lolz u n00b' people on there. Just because I'm wearing Steel Armor...God, I can't wait to make enough money to buy my crap back.

I used to play runscape, but it messed up my computer, lol, so yeah, I don't think I've ever been hacked before, but it would suck if I did, and they say, payback is a beeeeeeeeep. ;D
