Once a Cutthroat...
[ *  *  *  * ]
Summer of 2003

A little dude called Keanu has just moved to Maine (USA) from Pennsylvania. Well, I’d actually been moving a lot for the previous 6 years, so it was no big issue. I think maybe in the first day or two, I met CJ, a lad who lived only a road away from me. Within a week or two, he had introduced me to this online game called “RuneScape”. At the time I was no big fan of online gaming/console games (Probably cause the only decent things out in those times were the PlayStation and Gameboy and I couldn’t afford either), but RuneScape looked OK, so I decided to have a go.

I was put on the spot to think of a name, so I came up with “Kecool” – “Ke” being short for Keanu, and “cool” the obvious. But it didn’t work. So CJ stuck an “er” on the end (For reasons unknown to me), and so Kecooler was created in the summer of 2003. This was RuneScape Classic’s day. I thought the game was decent, but I wasn’t happy with my name. So, I created a new account, “Keiscool” to make it look like the preceding account. And Keiscool became my very first main.

I’m not sure whether RS2 was released before it happened or after. I can’t even remember when it was, but I’m guessing late 2003/early 2004. I had reached my peak on Keiscool at level 25. CJ (AKA Superdork_5) and I had a brilliant money-making scheme of picking up the gold dropped by guards when they were killed in Falador centre. This still works today to an extent.

One day, I was in Falador doing just this. I was on my own, and I suppose I was about level 28 back then. A level 3 comes up to me and asks me if I want to get loads of amulets/get rich. I had never come across scamming before, so I said sure. He told me to follow him, and we went to the Falador Jewel shop. We went up onto the first floor, and there was another player there, I don’t remember his level though.

So the level 3 tells me to get loads of amulets, I need to press (command that I’ve forgotten), change my password to “ammys”, then Alt + F4. I press the first command, and it does something to the game – makes it darker or so, I can’t remember. But before I press Alt + F4 (I’m 10 years old at the time, don’t blame me) I tell him I want proof.

Then the level 3 tells the second player to do so. That player disappears for about a minute, and the level 3 tells me wait for him. When player 2 logs back in, he’s over-excited and shows me an inventory full of amulets in the trade window. And then player 2 runs off. At the time, I thought it was a legit glitch or so, and had no suspicions. At this time, there was a feature where you could change your password in-game, so I changed it to “ammys”, and hit alt + F4. The screen closed.

I brought back up RuneScape, expecting to log back in with a full inventory of amulets. I tried logging in, it said my account was already logged in. A couple minutes later, the password had been changed.

Aftermath

I sent a report to Jagex, and they took action. At the time I believed they banned Keiscool (I didn’t question it), and the feature where you could change your password in-game was removed. Because I had lost my main, I quit playing RuneScape until the F2P release of RS2, on which I started again on Kecooler.

Only recently (2007) I noticed Keiscool was not banned, but simply locked. It has been almost 5 years since I lost Keiscool, and I remember almost nothing of the actual account information, not even my proper passwords. So my recent appeals to unlock it have failed.

Finally in late August/Early September I sent one last appeal to Jagex for recovery with every speck of information I had.

I checked appeal status on September 7th, 2008...

FUCKING BOOM FUCKING HEAD FUCKING SHOT B)

The second screenshot is something you will never see anywhere else. The only way someone can get to the RSHD/LD character select screen with previous items in their inventory is by never once logging onto RS2 since it's release to the release of RSHD. No one, but me.

THAT is epic.

Yeah I quit August 15th, but I'm still on a 1-year term with my clan Red Blade Hunters, I had my HC trial in early September so was still active on RS then and decided to work on my appeal a bit more... it paid off :D
