Jagex Moderator

Jagex moderators are employees of Jagex Limited which have accounts in-game which are for purposes of playtesting, debugging, and (infrequently) dealing with in-game situations.

A Jagex moderator account has a gold crown beside its name when in chat (compare Player moderator, which has a silver crown). Moderator account names always begins with "Mod"; however, there are two exceptions - Paul and Andrew Gower's RuneScape names are simply "Paul" and "Andrew", respectively.

Jagex has made it so that players cannot create usernames that begin with "Mod". However, one known player, Mod_Element, created such an account before the restriction. It is not known whether this player was banned or renamed.



Jagex moderators have the combined abilities of both forum and player moderators, and additional abilities above and beyond which enable them to carry out functions related to their duties.

Jagex moderators have the ability to add or remove items in their inventory, modify their skills, and travel to any location in the world. This ability also allows them to walk through scenery, and onto any terrain, including that which would normally block passage.



Players used to be able to trade with and attack Jagex moderators. However, the system was changed; Jagex moderators can no longer be attacked in any way besides Moderators attacking Moderators, and any items they drop will disappear instead of appearing for other players to pick up. Jagex moderators can also no longer trade with players.
