We have updated Rule 7 and Rule 9 to clarify some long standing gray areas, and to cover some recent threats. Please take the time to re-read both rules and make sure you fully understand them. The reason for this update is both to clarify some very frequently asked questions, and also to help address recent threats which have been harming our players. In particular we have extended rule 7 to make it clear that it DOES now include third party RuneScape clients/world switchers. We have done this for two main reasons: a) The sheer number of users losing their account/password to programs which pretend to be one thing but actually steal their password;  Problems with some of these programs including extremely unsafe chat channels where large amounts of scamming go on, and users encourage each other to try to break the rules. When RuneScape fansites are distributing programs which are then used to discuss breaking the rules or result in their own users being scammed, it's clear that our rules need revision! We don't want to be unnecessarily restrictive, but we obviously also have to balance that with protecting our users. We've thought long and hard about this, and hence this update. |

Direct quote from Runescape Rule #7. What about third party RuneScape tools which don't embed or interact with the game? Third party RuneScape tools which don't embed or interact with our game/website at all are allowed, but still not recommended for security reasons. For instance, using a 3rd party RuneScape calculator that doesn't embed the game isn't actually against the rules, but downloading third party RuneScape executables from external websites is still extremely dangerous as many programs claiming to be calculators actually steal your password. You'd be much safer using a web-based calculator that runs via your web-browser and doesn't require you download an executable program at all. ICELINK IS DUMB, IT IS ILLEGAL ewww wtf? who is the one editing my post??? whoever the tard is that edited my post, you said the swiftswitch is |

Skrewi Lui 02-Jan-2007 17:32:21 Jagex have you seen how many people are complaining on these forums so far? If you check the unofficial forums there are more then 3 times this number. Why take away people's rights. It's their fault, you've been over that 3rd party progs have keyloggers, they should have been listening. Over 500k people use one client (not gonna name it), and about 3 of them have reported being 'hacked'. 3 out of 500,000!! If a hacker had chosen to hack people from this, it would be alot more then 3. Jagex, you may as well change the rules back right now, or you will lose more then a few players. If you really want those programs not to be used, you're gonna have to think of a better client yourselves. And you can use calculators, but not clients... Calcs are much more unsuspicious and people wont expect them to have as many keyloggers, when they can have them, and give an unfair advantage. I'm seriously sick of these pointless updates, which have nothing to do with anything. You've amazed me by another more pointless update then the last one, well done. Btw ty for the sticky. == Yes, there are a number of complaints. No, we're not going to change the rule. We have always strongly recommended that players do not use third-party software in conjunction with RuneScape. It has always been illegal to use the majority of software with RuneScape as it was being used to break other rules. Sadly the amount of scamming and rule breaking happening in chat channels in some third-party clients was deplorable. The only thing we can do to stop it and protect players is to make them illegal. Please review the following, which was posted by Andrew: I just want to clarify a few extra things: 1) We're absolutely NOT going to ban people who used such world-switchers historically. That would be completely unfair given we've only just mentioned this! We will of course give everyone plenty of chance to read and understand the rule, and get rid of such programs first. 2) It's only RuneScape specific add-on programs we're talking about here. You can of course still use things like msn/aim whilst playing. Just bear in mind that if you do so it's entirely at your own risk, and we won't be be able to help with abuse/scamming. (so we don't recommend it, but it's still up to you) 3) We're also looking at adding an official 'group chat' system into the game for clans and other groups of players to use. So there's a safer way of doing such that. |
