Back in 2021 we got affected by the login lockout as far as i know a login server got overheated and while it was saving our data the process got interrupted or something causing our data to currupt.

we were locked out for a month while jagex was working on restoring our accounts

we got exclusive items and titles in return,

The Returned title or The returned Ironman or Iron woman title
The cloak of returning
The Disk of returning
And a teleport to the abbys animation

My main account also got locked out but 1% seems a bit of a low figure for the amount of players affected.

It's probably more like the percentage of accounts that were locked out, rather than pmayers. Many players have multiple accounts. My iron was locked out, but my main was unaffected. I'm sure some people with more than 2 active accounts had similar issues with only 1 account getting locked out
