Probably a bug in the runetrack system. maybe he has temp banned and when his stats came back the system forgot and thought it was all gotten today.

As runescape99999 mentioned, some low level named Toad changed his name from Toad; some high level changed his name to Toad. And all of low level Toad's stats were replaced by high level Toad's stats.

Toad's response: http://forum.tip.it/topic/244419-200m-i ... try4984394

Also, see: Runetrack - most skills say Toad?

The only thing I'm not clear on is how this person bypassed the 28 day waiting period for name changes (http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=2270). The player who previously held the "Toad" display name, who had fairly low stats, was gaining steady amounts of xp right up until August 17. Then, on that day, they changed their name to something else, and a new player (with significantly higher stats) came in and took the name, thus making the stats appear to jump by such a great amount.

Does anyone know how the 28 day display name holding requirement was bypassed in this scenario? This shouldn't have happened - it's not a common occurrence, and I've never seen something quite like this before (the case Dsctatom mentions was slightly different in that the 28 day period had elapsed already if I remember correctly). There should always be a waiting period of at least 28 days between the name changes - RuneScape shouldn't allow an instant swap from and to a display name (at least, according to Jagex).

A lVl 2 low did the same?

Indeed it is, people nowadays going for records can do some crazy stuff But i thought it was more like 8 months he spend on zeal points gathering.

I have got many 99s since but approx 10 months ago i decided that 99 was not what i wanted, i wanted to gain 200mill Attack xp and max the skill out once and for all, keeping my combat the same needless to say.

Old post I know but I think it's done like this:

1. Player A wants the name Player B. However that is already taken.
2. Player A and Player B come to an agreement that enables Player A to take the name Player B.
3. Player B changes his username to something offensive.
4. Player B gets in contact with a jmod.
5. The jmod changes Player B's new name to one of those stock names like [Player#52354]
6. Player B is now an available name
7. Player A changes display name to Player B
8. If Player A and Player B were both listed on a tracking site, and Player B had much less xp than Player A, then it shows up as though Player B gained that vast amount of xp.

Ah ok, thanks plqx - I can see how that might work. Though it does almost seem like a flaw in Jagex's system, as it's a way people can get around the name change waiting period rule.
