Saw this on another site, decided to check whether it's true… and yeah. I suppose Jagex does realize that their game will die in a few years, and so they decided to joke around a bit.

Wow, thats interesting. Have any mods posted on the forums with a reasoning?

Perhaps instead of it dying in a few years, their expectations are to have it live past 12+ years? :P (but who am I kidding…) ;)

Checked one of my old accounts which was banned in 2009, it currently has 1 hour less time left then the picture you posted :p

They just took all permabanned accounts, and set it to 12 years. :/

It should be 12 years from the year it was banned…
Would mean 5 more and Id get one of my accounts unbanned. Not fair to have to wait 12 years! Lol oh I could careless anyway.

Do they really think you would still be interested in RS 12 years later? The game would be completely different over that span of time

You think it will be around for that long?

I don't know… with the way graphics are, and all these new and better games coming. I dont see this lasting. The new generation is all about graphics and rs cannot compare to some others out there.

if botany bay is a success the game might end sooner lol lets face it 90% of jagex's income is botters.

good to know they'll be unbanned in a while, don't have to worry about perm bans anymore.

I think it's just a temp thing. They usually would have said something on the forums if they meant to change it, right?

One day when I am 28 years old, I will recover my first account :)

Solar

2012-09-06 04:10:06

Does anyone actually think Runescape will still be around in 12 years time? I don't think it will.

Its funny, my friend got banned a couple years ago and his shows the same pic.

Coincidence? i think not!

Xeronate

2013-03-28 15:32:18

I'm guessing they are assuming no one will play in 12 years. Or you will severely mature.

They are simply trolling. They just put a ridiculous amount of time on all perm bans. It won't really become unbanned in that amount of time.

Might make more sense if it was place for: 03:14:08 UTC on 19 January 2038, the end of 32 bit times ;)

I've got an account banned wayyyyyy back in ~2005-ish times. Appealed many times, I have a few rares on it… and always get denied. Checked, and only ~ 100k hours!

if you took that off rid. that is my ban from back in 2006. so technically it is a 20 year ban. if u didnt get that from rid then i got an acc that is about same time frame to be unbanned

Everyone's account timer is started at the same time. Whether you were banned a month ago, or banned 6 years ago.

Whoa old thread… IIRC I took that screenshot from an ancient perma'd account of mine.
