Thanks to NordVPN for sponsoring this video.
When I made my rarest account video on March 4th, I didn't expect a $20,000 RuneScape to get deleted. I certainly didn't expect hundreds of other rare OSRS names to get removed too. This video is a rare look into the bizarre drama that surrounds ultra-rare RuneScape names.

One thing to look into is the old mayhem makers post about recovering old accounts due to a flaw in the recovery system back in 2007-2009. Ive been around since 2002 and you did not see all these rare names running around until this recovery method was mass leaked. 99% of 1 letter names are not original owners more so bought or hacked with the method mentioned above. You could literally type a bunch of bull in the recovery page and have a 50/50 shot of getting it, as long as it was a inactive account.

I was surprised to see him in the video, we met at pest control less than a year ago and started talking, then added each other and became friends. I was carrying the low level boat with my maxed main, which I do when I'm bored sometimes. We didn't talk much after that so I ended up deleting him, but I did ask him how much he paid for his name and he said his brother gifted it to him just like the video states. I always thought it didn't sound believable at all. I have a semi-rare name myself that I got when it was still available around 2006ish but 1 letter names are an entirely different story.

I hope Jagex looks into it more, and actually hear Aj out. - anyways good video Crumb!

I used to know these 2 guys that wrote an elaborate script to autocheck/steal names as they became available. It supposedly ran on auto-pilot 24/7, and had accounts sitting at tutorial island ready to go all the time. I know a few of the names they sold, but didn't buy any from them. They basically had it set to prioritize 1/2/3 character names in any combination, as well as cross referencing any runescape words, as well as the whole dictionary of correctly spelled english words. I don't know if they're still up to it, but one of them still plays regularly and doesn't appear to be banned. This game's black market is nuts. I only knew about it because I was in their clan and often PVM'd with them for a few months. Nice enough guys just trynna pay the bills I guess.

A handful of pixels is being put on the same pedistal as everything else listed above. But, with none of the staying power.

My guess is that he is the one who hacked the account. Then he sold it. Then later on, he emails you to try to get it back to resell it. And he probably did, and sold it again, which is why it was banned.

March 13th, 2017; Jagex released names of inactive accounts. They probably looked at 5, released it, let someone claim it; and then someone sold it afterwards. At least that's what it seems like they attempted to convey.

@@pwntwtf Not exactly the kicker, and I'm not the OP. Bitcoin is different from video game items (which OP referred to) in that no company 'allows' it to be stolen from you. In that situation you would be at fault for not taking the proper measures to secure it from theft (i.e. cold storage).
