I feel so stupid and defeated. I was learning TOA and a guy in blood torva asked me if I wanted to join his discord and tag along for his LV300 run. He seemed nice and genuine in wanting to teach me higher level TOA, but I fell for his scam...
He had me download a party plugin in runelite and run a command on my computer. I have 2FA and all that, but fit didn't matter. My client closed and all my stuff was gone and my name was changed by the time I got back in.
Is there any chance in me getting my things back? Or am I just forced to kiss 10 years of play goodbye? Because there's no way I can restart. This would be the end of my OSRS journey :(
It seems like high profile YouTubers aren’t at risk for ban. Yet he had an interview with the new Jagex CEO. Odablock is famously known for having loans on osrs. He openly talks about his OSRS being traded as real world currency. I have not been banned. But I would like the rules to be applied the same for all users with no exceptions. I would like all others to follow aswell.
Yesterday I woke up to the news of a permanent ban for RWT, I immediately appealed because it was a damn false positive and today I woke up to this message
Honestly. It's worrying and alarming that their systems are so vulnerable to these errors, but thanks, Jagex???Happy because they were flexible, acknowledged the mistake and my innocence was proven, but worried about how they handle their banning systems.
I've submitted an appeal - Any further advice, help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank-You.
My permanent ban has now been lifted. It appears that a large number of the players affected by the 13 August permanent bans have also subsequently been unbanned, so it seems there may have been a wider issue with the recent enforcement.
However, some wealth appears to have been removed from my account again. In my case, it appears to be >one item< - my Confliction Gauntlets, which I believe were the most valuable item in my bank at the time.
I'm still trying to establish exactly why this item was removed and whether the wealth removal is connected to the original June offence or the 13 August action.
For now, I'm just relieved that the permanent ban has been reversed. I want to thank everyone who commented, shared their experiences, offered advice, or pointed me towards ways of getting the issue reviewed. The sheer number of people reporting the same situation was certainly helpful in highlighting that this wasn't an isolated case.
I'll update this post again if I get any further clarification from Jagex regarding the additional wealth removal.
EDIT: It also appears that several other players have reported being unbanned but having additional wealth removed, so this may be affecting multiple accounts.
Update #2: My Confliction Gauntlets have now been returned, so the missing item appears to have been restored.
I'm still seeking clarification from Jagex on whether anything else was removed or altered, particularly my GP stack, as it's difficult for me to determine this myself. I'd also like to know whether the day of membership lost during the permanent ban will be reimbursed.
The ban being quashed is obviously welcome, but I'd still like to understand exactly what happened and confirm that my account has been fully restored. But for all intents and purposes, the matter appears RESOLVED!!!
Jagex have now confirmed that the 13 August RWT bans were incorrectly duplicated. The offence has been quashed, any wealth/items removed as a result have been restored, and 1 day of membership has been added to compensate for the lost time.
So, as far as I'm concerned, the account is restored and the matter is resolved.
Thanks again to everyone who commented, shared their experiences and offered advice. ❤️
Posting for reach, My main account was perm banned for RWT. 2 weeks later my new account and long time alt received a 7 day ban for trading with this account - I served this time, lost my items and have not committed any offences since. Logged on today to realise I am perm banned. This is a big issue, as my new main account has countless hours on since making it, I have made a lot of progress and not broken the rules since. I then decided to check my alt account, this is also perm banned now? I have not even played on my alt since the temp ban so how have I received a perm ban? i’ve also noticed if I check my account status and see evidence, it says this is a temporary ban and gold has been removed? How can I be temporarily banned and permanently banned at the same time? Surely I can’t lose my items again after working to get them back? I have noticed there is a lot of other players suffering with the same issue right now on here and X…Please Jagex do something, we understand we have broken the rules - have served our time and now are perm banned?
Hey everyone yesterday everyone who had beeen banned after the 7days ban should be unbanned I got my account back today get checking lads !!!!!
New Update! Unbanned! And I got my items back!!! How's it going for you guys? Got unbanned?
Back in June I caught a two week ban for RWT. I did it and I paid the price oh well. I waited out the ban, logged back in and continued to progress my account. Since then I haven’t done anything to break the rules. I haven’t pked, traded anybody, etc.
I try to log in today and it says I’m permanently banned for RWT… like how can I get banned twice for the same offense when I already paid the price for it? I dunno if anyone can help or suggest anything but I’m really blown. I figured yeah I have a strike let’s just be honest and play the game legit from now on and still got perm banned…
Update: I GOT UNBANNED!!! Must’ve been a Jagex mistake!
Unlucky. Good riddance
Today I got perm banned for rwt ive seen that this has happened to a bunch of people ive made an appeal so im just making this post to see if anyone is able to successfully get their issues fixed
Previously received a 7 day ban for buying gold - accepted and moved on. Since then I've probably made ~10 trades or less because I didn't want to risk my account. Today I woke up to finishing my grind to 99 slayer (300k exp away) and I'm perm banned? I saw another post today of another lad also receiving a false perm ban, so hoping I'm just apart of a weird wave?
The only trade that I think could trigger this was my friend who plays on mobile asking me to buy his pure account an anguish, zulrah scales and darts since he couldn't double log to do it himself. He then logged on to his main to send me the ~20m back since he didn't have it on his pure. I'm sure PM history and IP logs and all that will show this though? I submitted an appeal with our messages through discord etc.
Really hoping that this is a mistake on Jagex's end today, as being 300k away from 99 slayer and receiving this is such a bummer. I keep seeing that a bunch of people were perm banned today, but are also saying that they haven't done anything. Hoping to gauge if this is a massive incorrect ban wave with this post.
08/14/2026 UPDATE
QUASHED
FULL UPDATE -
The accounts are now unbanned. For about an hour I had a reduced bank due to the second wipe. I was logged out of the game and now all my items have been returned. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again!
I haven’t received any comms from Jagex but they’ve worked quickly to resolve everything which is appreciated.
Cheers and have a good weekend!

So based on Reddit today and my own experience it looks like a lot of us got hit with a second RWT ban despite serving the 7 day ban, and not committing the offence again.
I was personally banned in July and learnt a huge lesson. I’ve not done it again since and got a permanent ban today. I only committed the offence once, so I know they’re not finding other occasions and getting mixed up.
I know a rule was broken initially, but serving a 7 day ban and having accounts wiped is the consequence of that. I think there’s serious errors with the way that these bans are being handled, creating duplicate bans for the same offence. Essentially, if you get your 7 day warning ban, it looks like you’re just waiting for your permanent one to follow at that point.
We need to raise this with Jagex because I’m sure they’d be keen to fix whatever the problem is, else it’s just going to make appeals pile up.
Are there any suggestions on how to gain their attention asides from the mass appeals they’ll have from today’s batch?
Cheers!
I posted around 7 days ago saying I’d been temporary banned for 7 days due to RWT. Went to log back in today and I’ve been permanently banned. I bought gold on 3 separate occasions so I’d imagine more than 1 has flagged up although I thought maybe once I got a warning they would give me a clean slate from logging back in.
Am I wasting my time appealing this? The thought of a new account makes me absolutely sick, so much progress gone and I get it’s my fault but I never realised buying gold was such a severe ban. After the 7 day ban that was enough to make me not do it again so I’m gutted this has happened.
Well Jagex, I was a Ironman until 2199 total . I believe in earning what I have , not buying it . You falsely temp banned me which is what it is , I understand mistakes happen , however . The day I get unbanned , I log in , check bank see how it’s looking and was pleased it wasn’t wiped . Then , not even an hour later you perm banned me . I did not trade anyone . I was only on the account for 5 mins . Good luck out there scapers . Don’t trade randoms (Yes I traded people splitting purples before first ban ) this also happened to others on Facebook. I included photo of some raids loots between my two accounts to prove I pvm
I have recently been perma banned on my osrs account. Rsn: BenjiBallin i have only bought osrs bonds, Today i received a permanent ban on my account and it says gp and items have been removed. I’ve heard an influx of many people today have had the same thing happening to there main accounts if not all there alt accounts too. I have seen that you have been able to help someone i know solve this problem earlier today. Could i please please get some help with this, i love this game and i would never risk a permanent ban on my account.
I know it was stupid and I’m not going to claim
I’m innocent or anything.
I got hit with a RWT Major Ban yesterday, unbanned in 7 days.
I’m wondering what will happen to the wealth. Has anyone else faced a similar ban?
Most of my wealth was inside the GE, either sell or buy offers, with only about 100m in my bank.
Again, I know it was dumb but I’m just looking for anyone’s insight who’s dealt with this before.
Account was hacked and was permanently banned in 2024 for Macroing Major, appealed last week and Appeal Denied, which I was surprised. Is there any recourse or anything else available to help assist me? I have now secured everything.
