So... I recently had all my accounts perm-banned for macroing major (first offences, but I assume it's because I was botting more than one account) at the same time, and quit runescape for a while.

 

  After about a month without playing at all, I finally decided to make a new account and start playing again today. Before opening runescape or going to the website, I turn on my Proxy and go through a public proxy server as I'm paranoid of my account being traced back to my IP which all my accounts were banned on.

 

When I opened the email to verify my account, I forgot that I wasn't using a proxy... but I assume I wasn't flagged just for that, cause I didn't log in or anything, just quickly clicked the link from the email to complete the verification.

 

But here's where I'm worried... I never bothered to delete my Jagex/Runescape caches on my computer. I've played on the new IP on my new account legit all day, before I remembered to delete the caches. Am I potentially flagged just from that? Brand new account, on a different IP, but all of the caches that existed before my old account was ban were still there. i just deleted them now. If I played legit for a couple weeks, would my account likely be taken off the radar?

 

I'm a little paranoid. Any input would be much appreicated... I can't afford to keep building an account that is likely to be banned as soon as I start using bots. Basically I'm wondering if upon logging into a new account, the cache is scanned and the account is flagged if there's been any macroing behavior on the computer in the past.

dont bot then.

 

Makes me wonder if he bothered to read the post, or he's just trying to be as unhelpful as he can be ^

If you are doubtful about botting, always play legitly for a week or two. Do some quests here and there. That should somewhat help. I'm not sure if you are flagged or not, but if you're able to play legitly for at least a week, you're good to go.

Thanks, I guess I'll keep doing that then for a while!

You will get flagged if you get banned for botting.

You're fine just keep on truckin

I have 2 accounts legit account bot account. My bot account was banned like 5 months ago I kept botting after my ban and nothing ever came of it. I think even if you were flagged its gone now.

Ahah thanks yall for the input. I have been away for a while and was wondering how on top of it Jagex is. Thanks for killing my paranoia.

 

I just wanted to make sure I can eventually bot this account responsibility in the future .

Runescape doesn't have access to your cache lol. Even if you made new account on same IP they wouldn't ban you, I've done this 10000 times. Now if you start botting a obvious script, yeah they probably going to ban you faster then anyone else cause your IP had already been linked to a account for botting. And idk why kids on this forum use proxys.... Get a VPN they're much more reliable and faster.

I know that they have the logs of all locations ever logged in by an account.

 

But I don't know whether they can identify an IP with cookies or whether they track the IPs of computers that use their account activation links. This is what you're dreading aren't you? I think you should PM someone with a greater knowledge in IP tracking. But even then, if it's possible to track you like that, would Jagex do it? 

 

I say your chances of being flagged and watched as a result of what you did is small. 

Wow, if Jagex don't do this then they really should. I imagine it would be a lot more efficient to just create a file in the cache saying "this persons been caught for botting" and have the game look for that file to see if it should track actions than manually flag IP addresses which can be changed easily.

No access on cache mate.
