Post by Kaye » Fri Jul 29, 2011 3:10 pm

or maybe it's old idk but, i got this sent to me the day before yesterday:
This is an automated email from Jagex Ltd., makers of RuneScape and FunOrb, and publishers of War of Legends.

I've gotten a ton of these lately.. Sometimes 2-3 times a day. I tend to delete and ignore them.
