I tried working out how long it would take to brute-force that.
My calculator broke.

I tried working out how long it would take to type that in all the time.
My face broke
But umm yh read the whole guide, good read. Didn't realise how big of a difference it makes for brute-forcing. Generally my passwords are pretty long with random numbers/letters like yours, but then sometimes im lazy with certain passwords ##
Mark:
Lol common sense.
Sean:
Unfortunately, RuneScape passwords don't take into account the upper/lower case letters. HeLlO is the same as hello - that is, unless they've changed it recently.
You might want to update your guide :p

I got hacked a few days ago :'(
Logged onto RS after a few days of not playing and everything was normal. I had all my items in bank and such.
I stood AFK while looking at OUR forum.
When I was done reading on our forum I decided to do something on RS.
I saw that i was logged out, but since it had gone a few minutes since I went AFK I didn't freak out.
When I tried to log in it was the wrong password. I tried several times but it didn't work.
Luke managed to get back the account (I bought it from Luke if you didn't know) and I logged on.
I found myself at GE without any items on just as before, but when I opened the bank I saw something different.
I had 1gp, my BGS was gone and so was my ZS and my whip.
Now I have around 3m bank alltogether. I'm lucky the hacker didn't take all my pk supplies.
Sucks bad..
