This is really important!
You will not be able to play RuneScape in Chrome starting from Chrome version 42. Google expects to release this version to everyone next month and most people will get it as an automatic update.
This is a result of Google removing support for lots of plugins, including Java (which RuneScape uses). Websites that use Silverlight, Unity Web Player etc will also be affected.
You can find more information about this here: https://www.runescape.com/browser-support
As a several time DMM finalist, these look decent, I have a few worries though.
> supported in real time by our anti-cheating specialists
Can this be extended to the week leading up to the final? If I got a months membership for everytime I saw someone boxing, auto-clicking, scamming, door-blocking and botting my account would have more time than Woox's!
> We will announce the amount of supplies prior to the launch of the Winter Finals.
Can we get a date for this? I worry it's something that will be announced hours before the start. Also, the home-page of Old School links to an outdated set of rules for dmm. Would be much better to have one source of truth, not several sources new players need to look at.
> perceived to be our most successful Season yet in terms of player participation
Can we get Mod Lottie to show us the numbers that back this statement? Total number of kills, sizes of bank keys, total hours played in a season, creativity is the limit.
To add to that, can some figures about the tournament be released too? E.g. how many deaths, biggest pre-final hour keys, etc. Can you guys looking at sever logs recreate what happened you could make a daily highlight reel of big fights in the week build up.
The gambler's fallacy has been in use for longer than 24 hours but is a big deal.
When you run out of keys it trys to get you to buy more because look at all the great things just one more could win you.
The game also heavy advertised a premier club so many players already bought a year of membership with it so they can no longer vote with their wallets by not buying membership.
Runescape 3 is a large portion of the players. The game which is getting these update has about 60k players online right now while the oldschool version without any of this yet has about 20k players online.
So roughly 75% of the players are dealing with this right now. The Runescape 3 players already pay for the oldschool game in their members but switching over isn't something many want to do.
The oldschool game doesn't use EOC combat and all accounts must start over on this servers.
This means they also can't boycott by playing the oldschool game because they might not enjoy it.
We are also taking steps to improve the experience of using the downloadable client.
We released a new version of the client today. This update adds the ability for the client to be launched from the website. We have not updated the website to make this possible yet, but within a couple of weeks you will be able to click the yellow "Play Now" link in the top right corner of the website and the client will open automatically.
Today's client update also includes a new icon, to match the latest RuneScape logo. If you are playing on a fancy Mac with a retina display you should also now see a much higher resolution icon :)
You can download the new client from the page I linked above, or from here: https://www.runescape.com/ways-to-play
I'd also like to point out the obvious that Account Sharing is, in fact, against the Official Rules and Terms & Conditions.
Can you please host the official rules of runescape on the main page of https://oldschool.runescape.com/ and specify that the same rules apply to OSRS and not just RS3?
So much bad information is spread about the legality of 3rd-Party clients, AHK, Mousekeys, etc. It's practically impossible to find Jagex's stance on these matters on the oldschool version of the website.

Seems pretty fucking clear to me.
There's a free area and a members paid area, which makes up a good 80%+ of the content these days. https://www.runescape.com/oldschool/world-map basically the areas around varrock, falador and lumbridge are f2p, along with most of the wilderness area. Everything else is members only with some minor exceptions
Help your son set up account security.

There are a lot of players ingame trying to scam other people for their ingame wealth. Perhaps you should let him face these things himself and let him learn from it like I did when I started playing at the age of 9. But here's a page about the most common scams ingame.
Commission Staking. It is against the rules.
https://www.runescape.com/game-guide/rules
> You must not advertise, organise, promote, or take part in any unofficial player run games of chance where in-game money or items are staked on the outcome of a random in-game activity. This includes, but is not limited to, all types of chance games where players trade an amount of in game money or items with the expectation that they will receive in game money or items in return based on the outcome of a game of chance or similar activity. It is also against the rules to bet on the outcome of another player's activities within the game, for example: how long it will take to kill a monster, or the outcome of a duel (commonly referred to as "commission staking").
In b4 fmods hide any kind of feedback.
Also I did a ctrl-f on the rules, searched for the following 'week', 'sticky', 'confidential' and even 'penguins'. All queries yielded 0 results, which rule did she break?
We included a fix for the left-click attack bug with the update today. This fix reduces the likelihood of someone misclicking to essentially 0.
Reasonably speaking, there should be no opportunity for players to misclick in guarded zones with the extensive attack priority options in game.
The map found on the deadman page has now been updated with the one made for 2007 Wiki. Learn where the safe zones are and don't walk into them when skulled.
As for why we didn't just make guarded zones safe zones,: we don't want you to feel safe anywhere. We want people to be able to kill you in the guarded zones if they can tank the guards and feel it is worth the risk.
I said in certain contexts - the language the player used is a clear hate term, and is specifically defined as inappropriate language in our rules. My statement was a general overview of what the word filter is there for. For clarity - here's a quote from the inappropriate language rule:
"This includes (but is not limited to): discussion of recreational drugs, sexually explicit language, solicitation, racism or other prejudice, threatening behaviour, blackmail and excessive swearing."
We have a maturing audience, which in this context means we don't feel low level swear words, used in certain contexts, should result in a mute or offence - this has been the case for years. We've never tolerated certain language, including racial slurs.
The rules surrounding offensive language are clear - in summary avoid using hate language, or excessive swearing at others, and you'll generally be A-OK!

The information this "guide" gives has always been wrong (or at the very least super misleading). I don't understand why it was made nor why it has endured for so many years as an easy to navigate to place on the website.
Considering the Game Guide also continues to have multiple links to the long since deleted wiki on the official site (see the read more links for the quests, area and combat sections on this page, which is one click away from the homepage...). Also there're no permanent link to the lores and histories page which has been a bug bear of mine for years! The whole section needs a huge overhaul, and I genuinely don't understand how this could be so far down the priorities of Jagex's website team.
That player you reference wasn't banned for account sharing - they were banned for account hijacking - you can read my full response here: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/60g73s/seriously_jagex/df6b1qs/?context=3
Mod Mat K stated that no one has yet been permanently banned for purely account sharing in OSRS, which was over a year ago.
He did not say we would never ban anyone for account sharing, simply we haven't yet taken that type of action. I know that we have issued offences for it in the past (mutes, warnings).
If anyone breaks our Rules, which can be found here: https://www.runescape.com/game-guide/rules they run the risk of having action taken against their account. This could include a warning from a Jagex Mod to their inbox all the way up to a permanent ban, depending on the severity and type of rule broken.
My advice is simple: don't break the rules. Account sharing in particular results in lots of account security issues down the line (a lot of the 'jagex gave my account away!' threads are the result of sharing an account with a friend, that relationship going sour, and the account becoming a mess).
$25 for 50 million gold?
[Bonds](http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Bond_(tradeable) are legit ways of trading money for in game currency. See their site for the exact information about how.
As seen in the wiki link you'd get five bonds for $25, which would translate into 27,054,545 runescape gold if sold at AH (current price).
Sure, it's half off compared to the offer you took up on, but it's completely legit and no risk at all.
Edit: Removed extra parenthesis.
50/50
EDIT: Of course, I was only joking. You can see most of the drop rates here: https://www.runescape.com/drop-rates. Here are all of the individual chances of getting what you got if you were interested.
1/3 chance to get Sara brew flasks (1/5 chance to get 13)
1/35 chance to get pheromones if you were at max enrage, 1/50 at 0%
1/18 chance to get a Trisk piece
1/40 chance to get a leg piece (1/39 with LotD or better)
1/128 chance to get an effigy (if you don't own any effigies)
37.5% chance to get crimson charms, 1/10 chance to get 16 charms
You are free to create as many accounts as you like and you are welcome to trade between your accounts just as you would with any other legitimate player.
However, if any of your accounts obtained wealth by rule breaking activity for example macro use (botting) or real world trading (buying gold or items from 3rd parties) then all your accounts will be banned.
These are the 'main' game names and dates:
- Rsc - 2001 to 2004
- Rs2 - 2004 to 2013
- Rs3 - 2013 to present
Osrs is a separate entity, entirely unconnected from the main game's timeline. It's a copy of RuneScape from 2007, which was re-released in 2013.
- To login to Osrs, you go here: https://oldschool.runescape.com
- To login to Rs3, you go here: https://www.runescape.com
I know the way things work can be mildly confusing, so I'll try to explain. Jagex never "shut down" Rsc when they updated to Rs2 in 2004. Instead, they continued to host it for those who wished to continue playing. It was such a major overhaul, that it wasn't just a name change; it was quite literally, a brand new game with a new engine, and everything. As such, this meant new worlds, new account saves, etc.
However, when Rs2 was updated to Rs3 in 2013, there was no engine update or whatever, like there was with Rsc to Rs2. So it's essentially the same game, but with a name change. We still use the same servers, the game gameworld, etc., as we used when it was Rs2.
Now, in November 2012 before the name change to "Rs3", the EoC was added. This created a massive uproar, which eventually led to jagex re-releasing a copy of RuneScape as it was in 2007. This was subsequently dubbed as "Oldschool RuneScape", or as people call it "Osrs". The re-release occurred in February 2013, and the Rs3 update occurred in July 2013.
The PoH alter (and the Wilderness Chaos alter) and Ectofuntus don't get any extra xp from dxpw.
No, RuneScape and Oldschool are different games and have different teams. Oldschool is planned to be released at the end of this year. RuneScape is planned to be released early next year. Source: https://www.runescape.com/c=WdB68VyIrHQ/info/mobile This is not a beta, this is a technical alpha.
There is no official post, because not everyone has been invited. It is explained in the invitation email how to confirm if the email is legit or not. It was not supposed to be kept quiet, it's just, there is no gain from either side making a commotion about a few hundred invitations which is negligible in comparison to the size of our player base.
Yea! It split into two different tracks of development along the way. Now there is an updated more modernish take on Runescape known as Runescape 3 (RS3) and there's a nostalgia overload version that didn't make the risky changes and built on what people knew and loved already known as Oldschool Runescape (OSRS or 2007scape).

>-ESO -Runescape -Maple story or something similar -final fantasy heavenward
Honestly, these are good choices. ESO and Runecape especially are relevant enough to want to expand.
ESO would probably happen over time, you know *after the Skyrim deluxe edition "hype" settles down.
Runescape will soon have a mobile version for their 2007scape Old School and even mobile with Runescape 3 (if you're into that one).
Not sure if Jagex has any plans to expand to console markets, but starting with the switch would be interesting.
It seems they've hidden it very well, the only way I can seem to get to the post with brackets is through the update post on the 3rd of august. It didn't even get it's own post. Other than that there is a post announcing it on the 13th of july which left the frontpage long ago.
It clearly states in the rules that:
>Software that can be used to gain an unfair advantage in our games may not be used.
I would interpret that sentence to imply that most features offered by 3^rd party clients are against the rules. I would like to see this actually enforced.
If you think this isn't breaking the rules you need to read the multiple log in section on the rules more carefully.
https://www.runescape.com/a=13/game-guide/rules
Similarly, multi-logged accounts must not interact with each other to exploit gameplay mechanics, such as attempting to rig the result of a minigame.
Creating more accounts definitely falls under exploiting gameplay mechanics and rigging the results of a minigame, regardless of if the accounts are independent of each other or not.

>Hey folks, we've had a few reports about this...
The RS3 Splash Page (https://www.runescape.com/splash) has defaulted to Spanish for me for at least a few years (I live in southeastern US). This is the only page on which this has occurred to the best of my recollection. I always assumed it was some setting on Chrome causing the issue and I was just too lazy to search for a fix to something that didn't really bother me. Kinda sad I didn't report this now, though --- if it is a more widespread issue, it's plausible that at least a few potential new players were turned away.
No. The EXE is for Windows and the DMG is for MacOS. Unless you mean getting the plain old .jar to run using the command line. That probably can be done.
That's not what free speech even means. It's freedom from persecution by the government, not "I can say and do whatever I want." Relevant
Jagex has the right to enforce rules within the game based on the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when creating your account. This includes multiple statements about your account being the sole property of Jagex. They own your account, not you. It's explicitly stated in the Rules of RuneScape that discussion of recreational drugs is not permitted within the game, and usernames may not contain references to recreational drugs.
And above everything else, the Constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to free speech is in the U.S. Constitution, which has no jurisdiction within RuneScape because Jagex is based in England. That being said, what you're choosing to argue over doesn't hold any weight whatsoever.
If you read The Chasm of Lights and think about her as a character, it only makes sense.
You take a cave goblin with a heart of adventure and show her the surface world, save her life and fight alongside her for long enough? 'Course she's going to have feelings for you. It would be almost weird if she didn't.
i see, thank you. i found it funny when you said both games and runescape 3. i was like whaaa XD
what game would you suggest? im more interest in the wow one, better graphics too. but the larger community for osrs is whats really giving my choice a hard time.
​
you know what, ima do rs3, https://www.runescape.com/download is this runescape 3? cause it just says runescape :v. i think it is, only thing thats popping up when i google runescape 3 anyways
Okay, um...

It should follow Arravs story. Making it about an already in game quest wouldn't work as there's no proper main character, the god wars wouldn't work well either because there's once again no obvious main character to follow and the ending would be extremely anticlimactic. Big green guy wakes up aaannd its over. Arrav is the only one that makes sense to me. His story can be followed without knowing too much lore stuff (we don't want the movie to be all exposition), it deals with how Ancient Varrock was founded, one of the most iconic places in Runescape and we have an obvious main character and villain. The story has a good ending as well, with Arrav sacrificing himself to stop Zemouregal from taking the city.
Oh and if anyone wants to read how the story goes here's a link: https://www.runescape.com/lore/the-legend-of-arrav
Taking everything mentioned in this comment chain into consideration, if my calculations are correct, the 50th percentile for Dyes doing Hard Clues occurs right around 760 attempts (including rerolls) and 2621 is over the 90th percentile meaning less than 10% of people ever go this far without getting a Dye. This is the formula I used if anyone wants to double-check my work:
(1-((1/1707)+(1/3072)))^x = Y
Elite Clues as they have a notably higher chance of granting a Dye - this is partially because Elite Clues can drop the Dyes offered from Hard Clues at a higher rate along with three Dyes only dropped by Elite and Master Clues:
(1-((1/1678)+(1/2509)+(1/3204)+(1/5096)))^x = Y
For Elite Clues, the 50th percentile occurs around 461, and 2621 falls just above the 98th percentile. Most people would get their first Dye before 700 attempts (including rerolls).
For Hard Clues, 100 attempts is just above the 8th percentile, 500 attempts is just above the 45th percentile, 1000 is just under the 60th percentile, and 2000 is just under the 84th percentile. Most people would get their first dye before 1200 attempts (including rerolls), requiring nearly twice as many attempts as Elite Clues.
The Master Clues rates are here if anyone wants to try and calculate that.
Hope this helps anyone trying for a Dye!
Best of luck!
EDIT: Some of the drop rates were incorrect, this has been revised and corrected.
PSA: You can check how many Runecoins you have without downloading the game by checking the store via the website: https://www.runescape.com/solomons-store
I have no idea where you got 600 runecoins from. I mainly play rs3 on 2 accounts, and neither of them have gotten free runecoins.
You've got it wrong. See here.
>Using combat with an allied player within Deadman Seasons/Finals is considered to be using a game mechanic to gain an unfair advantage. During the Season it will be met with a 3 day ban. Repeated instances will result in disqualification from the Finals. During the Finals it will be met with disqualification.
Note:
>During the Finals it will be met with disqualification.
They need to disqualify Manked for this.
> losing money to savvy players who could ultimately pay for membership just by buying bonds
Bonds are NOT infinitely supplied in the ge, nor are any items at all contrary to what some people believe. It costs more in bonds for membership than it does with irl cash. A bond buyer would not pay for them for irl cash if they were worthless in game, so bonds actually made jagex gain money not lose it. To break it down, jagex sold membership to the bond buyer already. The bond buyer then purchased a bond to sell to another player seeking to use their game cash for membership. The bond does not give as much membership, runecoins, or keys as regular cash does. This means it takes more bonds (and therefore more irl cash) in order to get the same result.
If you need an example, the most recent Gold VIP membership was $79.49 OR 20 bonds. Bonds were $5.99 at the time, so that multiplied by 20 was $119.80 jagex made from people that used bonds for VIP as opposed to $74.49.
You are free to create as many accounts as you like and you are welcome to trade between your accounts just as you would with any other legitimate player.
However, if any of your accounts obtained wealth by rule breaking activity for example macro use (botting) or real world trading (buying gold or items from 3rd parties) then all your accounts will be banned.
Similarly, multi-logged accounts must not interact with each other to exploit gameplay mechanics, such as attempting to rig the result of a minigame.
It is, but it's not an enforced rule.
https://www.runescape.com/game-guide/rules
Basically, they won't bother banning you if you're account sharing, but if you're obviously using it to cheat something like a seasonal high score, then you can be punished, and if the true owner's identify ever becomes questionable (such as two different people trying to recover an account with reasonable submissions) then they will simply ban the account to avoid trying to figure out who it belongs to.
So while you generally won't be punished for account sharing, it can get you in trouble if you cause issues.

Solicitation report category is for players asking for nudes.
Unfortunately begging is not against the rules. I know what solicitation means but Jagex uses this word for one specific type of behaviour:
> Inappropriate language
> This includes (but is not limited to): discussion of recreational drugs, sexually explicit language, solicitation, racism or other prejudice, threatening behaviour, blackmail and excessive swearing.
> Solicitation
>It is not okay to ask for a boyfriend or girlfriend in-game. This is not a dating website after all!

"
Account sharing and buying or selling accounts
Each account should only be used by one person. Never share your account with anyone else, doing so will likely get the account banned. Players may not sell, share, transfer or lend their account to anyone else. Players should not accept an account that anybody else offers, as they may be stolen, and this could lead to your own account being disabled!"
I strongly suspect that this is one of those rules that is still present but not actively enforced
>Each account should only be used by one person. Never share your account with anyone else, doing so will likely get the account banned.

Hey, if the account has had membership in the past it will be checked once more next month for signs of hijack per the current macro ban review initiate :). If the account ban was found to be hijack related, the ban will be lifted and a message explaining that left in the account's message centre.
There's just a few things I wanted to point out to you (and anyone else reading) after having read your story.
It seemed at one point you were waiting for the bot to log off so you could sign in and check the account yourself -- if you went through account recovery and clicked 'yes' at the e-mail hint, you would've been sent a link to password reset the account, this would've booted the hijacker off the account and secured it for a password change.
It seems like two passwords were compromised on the account: the one the account had when the authenticator was disabled and the new one that was set on it later.
For the new password to have been cracked so easily strongly hints that this was an old reused password the hijacker knew of, or there was a keylogger/malware that leaked that info to them. That's especially evident as the hijacker didn't have access to your registered e-mail as you don't mention having any sign in issues to the website (if they didn't know the new password but had e-mail access, they would've changed the pw - and in that case you wouldn't know the login to check account settings, they also would've disabled the authenticator in that case long ago).
I didn't read the full post so hopefully I don't come across as too ignorant.
Account sharing is still against the rules (as can be seen here https://www.runescape.com/game-guide/rules) but it isn't something that we typically ban accounts for. However, if you're sharing your account with someone who has consistently broken the rules and is actually using your account because all their accounts are being banned then you can expect us to also take action against your account.
I'm sure you were fully aware of who you were allowing to access your account and you therefore must face the consequences of doing so.

that was not in the deal of this year's premier club.
here is the list of what was offered https://www.runescape.com/premier-club
You don’t have to pay, but there’s millions of more things to do if you do pay for a membership. Pricing is on their website, and it’s gone up over the years, however they do now have an option to pay for the membership with in game gold: Pricing

To be fair, Jagex owes Gold Premier Members 4 exclusive content stuff this year, it was promised in the advertisement. So far there is only one and that's if you consider Premier Vault as one (because technically it is exclusive to Gold), so opening it up earlier for Gold members would fulfill part of the deal.
Idk but I'm eagerly waiting for the following games:
Mario Kart Tour - Console racing game set to be released in the next financial year, meaning anywhere between now and March 2019. I had great memories of this game during my highschool years. We used to sit in a group of circle and pull out our Nintendo DS during recess or lunch to race with each other. The game will be free, and hopefully it will run the same monetisation model as Super Mario Run - pay once to unlock the rest of the content.
Ragnarok Mobile - PC MMORPG game set to be released in Q4 2018. It was my first online game, one which I thoroughly enjoyed playing during my childhood years. I'm excited to see it coming to mobile, where I can relive that nostalgia.
Old School Runescape - Another PC (browser) MMORPG game that is expected to arrive this year (check here for updates). I've actually never played Runescape before, and the game was very popular during my childhood years, so I'm eager to check it out. The mobile version will be a full port of the PC game, so it will be the same game, on the same world, under the same account.
Elder Scrolls: Blade - RPG game that is set to be released this spring/fall (September to November). I've never tried a title from Bestheda before, so I'm excited to check this game out as well. The game will be free, and will eventually be ported to other platforms with cross-platform play.
Seems like it might break part of the multi-logging rule:
You can add me ingame though. I've been meaning to get some more commendation in game. RSN Tact
Right, as much as I understand that Jagex Support is lacking in certain areas. What did you honestly expect?
Account Sharing is and always has been officially against the rules. Sure, it's mainly there to protect your account from getting compromised as its nearly impossible to enforce this rule. But if you do share your account, you are still strictly speaking breaking the rules.
The official statements from Jagex overrule all statements that individual Jagex mods make. What makes it worse, is that /u/Mod_Archie has nothing to do with Customer Support, so he might not be up to date with their rules.
I would recommend reading the Lifting The Lid: Account Ownership from /u/JagexInfinity from a while ago as to why Account Sharing is against the rules.
Notice how he says it's against the rules but also that Jagex "will not actively take action against players casually sharing accounts for the purposes of community or social activities, where there is deemed to be no risk to game integrity, and all parties involved have a mutual acceptance of the account being used in that way."
Which leads me to believe you or the people you shared your account with did something that wasn't casually sharing an account and you got busted.
Also, as many other people have mentioned the "Community Helpers" are NOT Jagex Employees. They are just regular people like you and me, that like to help the community.

Why should there be any outrage?
Account Sharing is still officially against the rules. So even if you do have permission of the owner, you still break the rules.
This specific case is a good example on why it's not allowed.
On a related note ^hehe . Everyone who enjoyed the lore in One Piercing Note should also read the ripper demon story from the lores and histories page. It can be found here.
It's rounded down, not up.
If you go to the RS3 drops rates specifically GWD2 they show luck interaction and it rounds down.
It wouldn't be wrong to assume that's how it works for all bosses (Fairly sure it's stated somewhere that it rounds down.)
https://www.runescape.com/oldschool/hardcore-firsts
The OSRS Hardcore Firsts still doesn't list a HCIM as having the Vetion pet, so it actually would be the biggest flex. Although I vaguely recall someone mentioning that there was a HC with the Vetion pet a little while back
They just added the new town and boss island to the world map seen here. In the timeline they released in December they showed that they would be working on Tempoross from February to about mid-March.

Scamming
Asking/trying to persuade another player to give you their password or bank PIN for any reason is against the rules and will not be tolerated. Players must not scam or deceive other players.
Why we have this rule
Misleading other players for your own personal gain is not in the spirit of fair play. This rule is in place to protect our players' accounts. As 'Account Sharing' is not permitted there is no reason why there would be a need to request another player's password.
An 'item scam' is an attempt to obtain GP and/or items from another player by dishonest means.
Love that a demo is finally available (love a lot of the anti-bot ideas and think it should work well for just trying the game) and was curious some things:
Is there a way to maintain the No-Trade/No-Loot-Other-Players Features when transitioning from Demo to Full Player, to replicate the Official Old School RuneScape IronMan Mode? (Many IronMan fans love the self-sufficiency it enforces as a playstyle)
If the new animations continue to be delayed, will the launch window be pushed back until the new outsourced animations are ready?
Reading the restrictions, there doesn't seem to be a limit to how many Demo characters we can create per account right? Can they all use Storage sharedly?
Thanks! I'll try to spread the love of this game too :)
On their website, you can find it under 'Game Guide' on https://www.runescape.com/ and under 'Community' on https://oldschool.runescape.com/.

We're working in partnership with Jagex, the wiki is official now! :)
Appeal the account mute here:

Please take a look at the account security here:
It's not listed on the restricted double xp item page so I assume it should work.
Other than it possibly being disabled for dpx, It'll only give slayer xp if you're on task, might wanna double check that. If you are on task and it's still not giving you xp it could be bugged for the particular thing you're slaying, would be helpful to submit a bug report perhaps.

Perfect thread, but just so you know and don't get to ahead of your self, Bonds are about 20 million gp each rn. They are no cheap matter.
If you do happen to have some extra cash around, there's something called Premire Club Membership Link which is basically cheap membership for an entire year, plus a few perks. I would not buy it now, unless you decide you like the game, but I believe that it is open until about early February, so you have time to decide, if you so with.
You are allowed to do all the things you listed.

You got ratted. If it by passed pin, you fucked up somewhere. This is 100% your fault, and you need to research on how to protect yourselves from these issues. Here's a starting point.

Just because a rule isn't enforced doesn't mean it's null. The rule is in place for this exact reason, so Jagex doesn't have to be held accountable for situations like this. You can disagree with me, but any mod who's willing to take the time to respond will say the same thing.
Not sure why I even need to explain this...
Here, let me directly quote Jagex's definition for you:
> An 'item scam' is an attempt to obtain GP and/or items from another player by dishonest means.
They're using dishonest means to get their victim into a PvP area with all their wealth. It clearly fits Jagex's definition of an 'item scam' and therefore it is against the rules. Not only that, but Jagex has also permanently banned players for luring.
As I've said in my previous post, I've reported them through that email and every time I did the accounts were removed from the hiscores, all of them. And yes I've tracked their names and no they didn't change it.

Real-world trading is the term used for activities which occur outside of the game environment which result in the real-world sale or purchase of items, GP or services with the intention of supplying or advancing a Jagex in-game character other than by the means that are incorporated into the game.
It is clear that a real-world purchace of a subscription to ge-tracker results in advancing an in-game character, namely providing them with a large amount of in-game currency or an expensive item.
The fact that the purchase only results in a chance at the item, and not the item itself, is not enough to get around this rule. For instance, what if a RWT site sold a 99% chance at getting 1m, for a 10% discount on their normal price? This would clearly still be against the rules.
The fact that the giveaway can be accessed for free also does not bypass the rule. For instance, what if a RWT site gave away 1m to someone for every 100m they sold on their website? Or gave away 1m for free to a random person who signs up, but gave people 1000x the chance of winning for a small fee. This would clearly still be against the rules.
You don't need Game Center. You download the official OSRS Client here. After you download it, you just have to boot it up and log in with the same account you use on mobile.
The Game Center log in might be for RuneScape (aka RuneScape 3). Also F2P and has its own advantages. Might be worth checking out if you really enjoy OSRS.
is this bait? cos if its not you're really really REALLY gonna love my response. Allow me to familiarize you with the rules of runescape. https://www.runescape.com/game-guide/rules
"Each account should only be used by one person. Never share your account with anyone else, doing so will likely get the account banned. Players may not sell, share, transfer or lend their account to anyone else. Players should not accept an account that anybody else offers, as they may be stolen, and this could lead to your own account being disabled!
Why we have this rule We have this rule as part of our procedures to preserve the integrity of the game and its players' hard earned achievements. The hiscores are there to measure the achievement of an individual, not a group of players or 3rd party. Also, if disputes occur or friendships breakdown, it can lead to at least one of the parties permanently losing access to the account or having it stripped of wealth and items.
Additionally, many of the accounts on sale are stolen, and people who share accounts run the risk that the person using the account won't give it back, or that the person will break a game rule causing the account to be banned or muted for which the account creator will be accountable."
They specifically wrote it out.
“Boxing, which can be defined as: Using combat with an allied player to avoid combat with other players within Deadman Seasons/Finals is considered to be using a game mechanic to gain an unfair advantage. Boxing offenses will be dealth with on a case-by-case basis.”
Scroll down on this page : https://www.runescape.com/oldschool/deadman
https://www.runescape.com/community shows the combined online player count of both RS3 and OSRS
https://oldschool.runescape.com/ only shows the player count of OSRS
Subtract player count of OSRS site from RS3 site and you'll know the real online player count of RS3. Compare that to the OSRS player count to know the difference.
As of this comment the player count on the RS3 site says 97k while the OSRS site says 68k.
97k - 68k = 29k RS3 players (vs 68k OSRS players)
Barrows drops work as follows:
You get X+1 rolls, where X is the number of bros (not Linza, she's not a bro) you've killed up to 6, so you get the optimal 7 rolls with and without Akrisae killed.
Drop rate is 450 - (Number of bros killed x 58) , up to a minimum of 73. So 1/73 for 7 and 1/102 for 6.
You then have 1/X chance to land on the table of any of the bros you've killed. Once the bro has been decided, each of his drops is equally likely (making specific Ahrim and Karil drops slightly rarer because they have 1/6 instead of 1/4 because dw).
Chance of at least 1 piece of Guthans with 1 bro killed: 2/(450-58)=1/196
2 bros killed: 3/(2*(450-58*2))=1/222
3 bros killed: 1/207
4 bros killed: 1/174
5 bros killed: 1/133
6 bros killed: 1/87
7 bros killed: 1/73
(source: https://www.runescape.com/a=63/drop-rates)
You can time your kills and then divide that with the drop % and you get the expected time with each tactic. I suspect it's best to kill as many bros as possible, but you never know.
Assuming he was actually scamming and that it wasn't real life issues keeping him from returning, then absolutely. Also, I think scamming itself actually is against the rules, though I'm not sure how enforced that is or whether it would/could result in a ban/mute.
