Picked this up earlier today:
http://www.gamersdailynews.com/story-14860-Man-Arrested-for-Runescape-Account-Theft.html

Jagex Games Studio, the UK’s largest independent games developer and publisher, today confirmed that a UK resident has been arrested following collaboration with the Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU). The arrest is part of Jagex’s ongoing effort to combat the theft of accounts in RuneScape.com, the world’s most popular free-to-play massively multiplayer online game.

Way to go jagex, account hackers are real assholes :smile:

“People who seek to destroy others online gaming experience could be committing criminal offences, leaving themselves liable to prosecution” continued the PCeU Spokesperson. “The PCeU will continue to work with the industry and investigate these allegations where appropriate.”

I killed you when you waz training in de wild and youz lost like 10m!. Now I can be arrested for destroying your online gaming experience!

Yeah, i think it should be a big fine or something. But arrest?

Well it would be criminal offense if it was a members account that is stolen. As the owners pay money.

Edit:

Jagex maintains a specialist team to combat any law breaking within our games

So thats why people can still auto freely and legits get banned :f:

How are they jackasses?
The step from stealing in a game to stealing in real life is really small.

Does that count for cheating as well?
As in, cheating on games/girlfriend?

I totally dont think so.

People would even regain their RL when their accounts are stolen. ;D

So It's a good thing!

The FBI? Wow, I didn't know Jagex was going that hardcore. But I guess this is a good thing, nobody likes account theft :)

Way to advertise runescape much? lol

Wow, god. Why would anyone even take things this far for a poorly developed, point and click game.

Damn.

Well, anyways, there are hackers everywhere, and this post was just to advertise RS/Jagass.

Fuck you jagex <3.
