I actually recovered a friend's account (I've never played on it or anything) that was very old. The last log in was like 700 days ago, not that old, but old enough to get an easy recovery. It seems Jagex isn't really caring much. But anyway, it had recoveries, but I just selected the option of "I didn't set any recovery questions." I typed in the zip code (of course this has to be right), I made a guess of when the account was made, in my case, I put 2004. Just fill in what you can. I think the most important part is making a compelling argument in the additional comments area. Just say that you heard free trade and the wilderness has came back and you and a couple of friends want to play again. Mention that you haven't logged in forever and just make it sound compelling, if that makes sense. Bottom line is, this should be pretty easy for you, especially if you're the rightful owner of the account.
I myself got an old main back and a friend's account.
One of my friends actually got two of his friend's accounts (one which is 110+ CB) and one of his very old mains that he hasn't logged in for about 1,100 days.
Of course they don't play anymore, otherwise that would be cold.
