New Account Restrictions

While the Support team works hard to clamp down on cheats in the game, it can be especially hard for them to do so when new accounts can gather items of value and pass them on so easily. In general, we try to avoid anti-bot measures that impact legitimate players, but sometimes it's necessary for the long-term health of the game to take action against cheats. We've therefore applied some restrictions that will prevent brand-new F2P accounts from trading items to other players. The good news is that they can still receive items from other players, so you can still give supportive gifts to your newb friends.

From now on, the following rules will be in place for all brand-new F2P accounts:
Items dropped by a brand-new account cannot be picked up by other players, although brand-new players can still pick up items dropped by others.
If a brand-new player is PK’d, the PKer will still receive most of their tradable items – the exception is noted items, which are capped at 20 notes per item.
Brand-new players may receive items in a trade but cannot give items away.
Brand-new players cannot log in to PvP worlds.
Brand-new players cannot create ‘Sell’ offers for commonly botted items on the GE.
Brand-new players cannot add items to the Party Chest.
Brand-new players cannot stake in the Duel Arena.

These restrictions can be removed by logging over 20 hours of game time, earning 10 quest points, and reaching 100 total level. Alternatively, you can purchase membership to bypass these requirements.

Was nice while it lasted boys. 

Well, we just bot these:

over 20 hours of game time, earning 10 quest points, and reaching 100 total level

?

 

Shouldn't be too hard to achieve. Sucks for suicide bots, but any bot that isn't just supposed to live for 2 hours isn't too effected. 

Bot 10 quests, then run splashing for like 19 hours. There you go, that's like 100 total + time req + quest req. 

Gold going up in price! 😉

this.

It's a bit late for an april fools joke, Jagex.

Assuming you can bot these new requirements and make it past them, it just forces your account to look even more legit.

The classic lvl 3 with nothing but cooks assistant, sheep shearer, and romeo and juliet was looking suspect anyway lol

Weird how they just decide to do this now for "long-term health of the game." 

Lol

Rip f2p

@Zappster @Naked 

Nothing changes much unless you were suiciding accounts. A couple of extra quests and longer to train skills isn't a big deal

well rip the f2p farms including mine idk how to fix it without to much effort
