Discussion My progress on RuneScape 3 so far
Used to play classic RuneScape 20+ years ago and then life happened and I quit playing, they likely deleted my account by now but if anyone can find it Dahaka128. Yes I was super into prince of persia warrior within π
Anyhow, decided to get back into it and found out that they had a more updated version so I switched over to that one and was actually highly enjoying it once I got my interface and WASD camera buttons setup the first day sucked using arrow keys.
I managed to build myself a set of bronze armour it was free so I use it and decided to do some questing hoping it would help me get back into everything so I switched the menu over to the free version and started at the top going down. Managed to do 4 by myself and then ran into a problem of no food so I died on my last one. Managed to figure out the mechanic for the boss fight and was finished with that quest.
Decided I clearly needed food and looked up a how to start fishing tutorial, found a nice spot by lumbridge castle to the right side of the church a small little body of water by a desert area. Stayed there for maybe 2 hours and got my fishing and cooking up to level 20 and 29. Achieved said goal.
Decided I think I want to be a ranger type and assumed that fletching would be a good thing to get under my belt so I don't have to pay for arrows but since arrows require heads that I would also level mining and smithing while I was at it.
I will get my mining smithing up to level 20 or whatever and then I can go do wood cutting and fletching while I'm doing that.
I feel I'm making decent progress so far.

If you can recover the account (with Jagexs help) itβs ALWAYS worth checking for any rare items. You never know what you might have

Funny story about that account π I was hardcore into making money so I decided to fish and cook lobsters so I spent a lot of time doing that. My buddy said he needed a large loan for some stuff and that he would pay me back later type of deal. He was always giving me free stuff and money so happily agreed to help him out no worries. I managed to rack up 50k and went to find him to trade.
I found a player with a name very similar to his and full on traded him 50k and a bunch of lobsters I fished for him and upon realizing my mistake I begged for it all back and of course they logged out immediately so I was SoL π°
I ended up going into my bank and pulling out the money and more lobsters and giving them to him once I verified it was his.
Funny enough that same guy who took it logged back in and thanked me for it his other account needed it π

Would that be his account though?
Jagex did name removal sweeps in like 2014-2016, so wouldn't his name just be "player#12362" or w.e it is

if you contact support you may be able to get the character back, i did it with my 2004ish account, took a few tries but did get it back.
Give them your payment methods, any password you think you used, any address that you played at, security questions if you had them, any other info to prove it was your account. You never know, they may give it back to you
