It is literally impossible - NO matter what he did. Has to be a glitch or bug. OR he hacked. In any case - don't worry about it. The problem won't be fixed. That would require work! Imagine what would happen if it did get worked on!

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.

Even crazy, this is bug for sure!

But he has 27 days of being registered on runetrack

This has happened before and Sword Kill remedied it as soon as I had alerted him of it. As mentioned here:



This is not the tracking system's fault as it is impossible to notice a name change when another person takes the name. This is why Sword Kill still has to manually handle some things.

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).

No idea sorry kill, this thread has got quite popular tho =)

Three possibilities I can think of:

1. The max stat players get some extra benefits, such as instant name changes.
2. He's a player mod and they might have that as a benefit.
3. The first Toad was banned and voids all claims on the name.

A lVl 2 low did the same?

Surprisingly, it's actually a real record (http://runetrack.com/records_skill.php?skill=attack).

He spent 2 years preparing for it by gathering zeal in soulwars - read his story here: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/f ... 1,63087412

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.

Unless he waited a couple months after deciding, it was probably 10 months.

Well i think 8 months is reasonable lol but yeah in the future there might be more crazy gains

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.

This is indeed possible as wanted names are sometimes being taken over by people for maybe ingame items/cash or real life cash. Though this is just impossible to detect so we just have to live with that.

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.

Nothing we can do but these situations are rare I think so we will just need to pay attention to the records
