will we all eventually be forced to migrate to a jagex account? i don't want to use an email to login/ potentially lose access to my account due to error... my password is secure enough as it is???
You will have to use an email to log into a Jagex Account but the migration is perfectly safe and you won't lose your account provided you apply some basic security approaches such as making sure you can access the email you use for your Jagex Account and the address is secure
Allowing people to log in with an account name would be nice. Some of us have been playing for two decades and have grown attached to our account info. It also gives some measure of security, since there are two possible logins instead of one.
I lost my personal game account username login as well when I got my Jagex Account, but for me the other benefits (email notifications and ability to change login) in particular, outweighed that aspect. I also just have a main (ignoring back in the day failed pures) but I can see how 20 characters would be super useful for a lot of people as well. I also know a few people who are quite glad to see the back of the username logins they chose years ago that they are less than proud of today!
