Jagex Disappointing Customer Service and Lack of Support

After interacting with Jagex, I was left deeply disappointed by their customer service and lack of support. It seems that the company is more focused on profit-making than addressing genuine customer concerns. The unresponsiveness and lack of assistance from Jagex have left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a customer. I would caution others to be wary of engaging with Jagex based on my experience.

I've been trying to get my account unlocked for 5 days. I don't need any information changed and I am just getting denied a password reset request. Just wasting my time doing things except, you know, the thing I am not asking for. I have the email, the password, the two step authenticator, but can't access the email because it was a fresh email from making...

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I tried to log on to the game last week after some months away from playing, only to find my account had been hijacked, botted and banned. The account also had membership on, which I have not had since 2014. I managed to submit the relevant information to recover the account and add to a new Jagex account for much improved safety. The hackers got through my...

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

After my account was hacked and items stolen from a hacker, I spoke with Jagex's support team to see if they can recover the items. They ended up locking the account and had confirmed that the account had been accessed by a third party, but said no items can be returned. I never recovered the account as I was quite upset and was seeking out legal...

Is Jagex Legit?

Jagex earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Jagex to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 17% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Jagex is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Jagex, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Jagex. The company provides a physical address, phone number, and 2 emails, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Jagex.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Jagex.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

The Jagex website has a cookie consent banner indicating the use of cookies for data collection. Reviewing the privacy policy and terms of use is crucial to understanding how the data is used and ensuring compliance with regulations.

We looked up Jagex and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Jagex has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 17% of 175 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Jagex. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Jagex No answer to a locked account

Been months without answers. I’ve spent 17 years on an account to max. I have spent hours on end playing this game. I have every information to recovery my account, no one else has my information. I have been so frustrated by the inconvenience of support. Automated robots and no explaining on why my max account and how I am not the original owner I crack up because who else has the recovery questions from 2005, who else knows where I have lives and played from etc. no one, who else knows all passwords and membership info with credit card info?!?! Bloody indisputable onto whether this is rightful on how to handle customer service and loyalty. I cannot believe it ends like this.

Jagex #4689875

Jagex #4647460

Ticket numbers.

Desired outcome: To be able to play on my account that I have invested 17 years of my life into the be maxed within the game.

Account was hacked, banned for botting, then appeal DENIED! So I lost my account a little over a month ago and couldn’t figure out how to contact support. Every time I tried logging in it said I would need to use my Authenticator to log in, with the issue being I have never set one up, so it was obvious to me someone stole my account.

I have been playing runescape since 2017 and have been solely focused on playing that and never had problems. Always followed the rules, took a short break every now and then.

Jagex oldschool runescape castle wars cheating/rigging

There is a player that goes by the name "snipe". He has been rigging the games with his clan to always win by stacking for years in world 334. Im comming here now as a last resort, can you please do something about him? Might i suggest making it always be random teams like soulwars? We are The Castle Wars Community (or CWC) and would very much like to have our theme world back to order. The games are totally unplayable and he gloats about it. You have banned him before for using the castlewars cheat client in soulwars as "duno" for doing exactly the same thing hes doing now. but why are we ignored? Do cwers not matter? We play the game just as much as anyone else and work 2x as hard to be shut down by some kid who cant play correctly so he has to cheat. Does that really seem fair Mod Ash?

Sincerly,

CWC

Desired outcome: Mac ban on the account "snipe" or make castle wars random portal only

False bans are rampant and unless you are a youtuber or streamer who can kick up a fuss, you won't get unbanned. There isn't even a proper support system in place for players to reach out to appeal their bans except an automated service that just rejects the appeal. I was banned on July the 26th, I submitted an appeal which was automatically denied within...

Jagex Old School RuneScape

This company has essentially non-existent customer service.

My prized childhood account was hijacked in the spring (April 2023) and hit with a Macroing Major ban. As soon I received notice of this I attempted to reach out to customer service. When I didn't hear back after repeated attempts, I reluctantly (and desperately) decided to file and appeal to have the wrongful ban overturned. The only way I might actually receive a human response response from this company, right? Wrong. Years of hard work on this account down the drain, no communication, and completely iced out.

As a paying customer for the last 15+ years I expect better communication from such a long-standing organization.

Jagex prides itself on "community building" but invests little to no effort into helping the players in situations like this.

Desired outcome: I would like to regain access to my account and continue enjoying Old School RuneScape.

Jagex Almost 5 years still banned!

Back around 2019 time, I was fully banned on my main "POH J" and another account which was an alt account "Johno R"

I firmly believe these accounts should be unbanned as there was no other offence on the accounts and I do feel the punishment was a little harsh but decided to wait 3 years and re appeal..to my surprise I'm still banned.

I am currently trying to expose bots in 330 and have sent you a tip off email and I think it's only fair now that you unban those two accounts.

I would also like to mention that I've been highly targeted In your game on my "JohnoR" account.

Players have made impersonated accountants, called me names and trolled with no action being taken.

It's no wonder I'm angry..and let's not even talk about the amount of scammers, bots and more in world 330 osrs.

Jagex Banned my hacked main on first offence and refuses to even look

I got hacked when I left for the military and my mom sold my pc, the hacker then botted anglerfish on my maxed main almost all 99's and got me banned when I came home I tried to appeal thinking yes I might finally get my account back only for jagex to say "lolno" in my appeal, seems shady given I was trying to pk dmers all day in pvp worlds.. Not fair at all no help everyone that's reached out at all have been rude and unhelpful seems like a cash grab having me restart 3 years progres.

Desired outcome: review on ban or full refund of all membership keys and bonds on the account.

Jagex Jagex customer support - nonexistent

Currently have 2 open tickets with Jagex, first one starting Jan 8th and second started on March 15th. Neither of these have had any response to this day. Zero.

Tried opening another ticket and it was instantly closed with no response nor explanation.

How can a company operate like this? It's genuinely flabbergasting to me how they can stay in business like this. I'm a new player to their games but i've already moved on to other games since this "support" is unacceptable.

Desired outcome: At this point there is no outcome i would like - they've already burned the bridge and there is no chance i go back to any of their games.
