Life is a bunch of experiences you have until you die  Group: Forum Admin Joined: November 15, 2005 Member No.: 1,622 Posts: 4,267 Skin: RuneScape Blue From: England My Highscores: Neo Avatars R.S. Name: Neo Avatars R.S. Status: Retired  |
QUOTE(JaGeX) 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; b) 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. Update 2-Jan-07 - 17:21 GMT Further to that 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 at all, but it's ultimately up to you) 3) We're also looking at adding an official 'group chat' system into the game ASAP for clans and other groups of players to use. This now means that all pieces of 3rd party software that embed a pane displaying the RuneScape game within themselves or which bypass the normal navigation of the runescape.com (other than general purpose web-browsers without RuneScape specific features, or official affiliate websites) e.g a worldswitcher tool are illegal.

Rule 7 seems rather unclear or I may have misunderstood. Ok, I should have hit refresh first. Bye bye Swiftswitch... time to find other methods of bashing into trade worlds. edit 2: QUOTE including extremely unsafe chat channels where large amounts of scamming go on, and users encourage each other to try to break the rules. Thats the IRC channel's fault!

By the looks of it, it seems that SS is not legal anymore.
QUOTE <Dani> They're idiots, they don't realize that people will keep using SS, and since it's been declared illegal, people will be desperate to find it <Dani> ...and will find keylogged versions, spreading the problem rather than fighting it I stand by what I said on IRC. |

Jagex are so stupid really. now people will break that rule even more. when they read that, they start thinking "oh there really is such a tool for runescape? cool!" they go to google and get it. jagex makes people break their own rule

Don't ask me why, but maybe in the future Jagex will make their own SwiftSwitch style browser, and charge people to download it. Is this them getting rid of the competition? Wonder how many rants there are on the official forum right now? |
