Hi all,
As you may recall,
Jagex removed F2P accounts from the RuneScape Highscores in November of last year. Since these accounts were no longer accessible from the RuneScape Highscores, RuneTrack has been unable to track them, and thus they have remained dormant for months. I've made an effort to retain all data for these accounts up until now because I was hoping that Jagex would
provide a way for fansites to continue tracking F2P accounts. However, it appears this will not be the case anytime soon. As the site's activity levels continue to increase,
storage space and reasonably sized data sets are important to keep the site running quickly and efficiently.
For this reason,
I will be performing an inactivity sweep of all accounts which have not gained any XP in the past 3 months. Note that because F2P players do not appear on the RuneScape highscores,
this will also include accounts that have been F2P for the past 3 months. The only exception to this will be for accounts that have a
Global Record - these accounts will never be removed.
All inactive accounts that are marked for removal
will have a warning message at the top of their User Profile page - if your account does not have this message at the top of your User Profile page, it will not be included in the inactivity sweep. If see the inactivity message appear at the top of your User Profile but would like to prevent your RuneTrack account from being deleted,
saving your account is a simple process. Simply click the "Save Account" button directly next to the message and
your account will be taken off the inactivity list and saved from removal.
Inactive accounts have until June 30, 2012 to indicate that they won't want their account removed. After this date, all remaining inactive accounts will be removed.
This inactivity sweep should be a one-time event and won't occur again anytime soon. Feel free to
post a message in the Forums if you have any further questions about this. Thanks!
