Hi Guys

i have been trying to log onto my old r.s account but when I login to RS3 via my email/password it signs me in as a level 3 when I have had a high lvl account registered to that email before??

So is your high level account on Oldschool runescape? or rs3?

Did you bot your account because then there is a chance jagex reset the account.

Maybe try using account name and pw

it is rs3

Are you sure you're using the right login information?
An old account could have been registered to an email without the email being the login information for the account.
Using email to login is for accounts made after they implemented email as user login. Older accounts still log in with their original username.
Old names may have been reset, in which case you would log in to your account with a bunch of numbers instead of your old name.
You can freely choose a new name, assuming the name you want is available.

pm Jagex support..

Send me info and your moms maiden name and ill hammer out the details for ya bud.

or actually just quit rs3 and start osrs
