Smapla Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well, i suppose not many people are capable of making a working runescape world switcher, but there are a few, that with a basic understanding of HTML and JavaScript could cook up a basic world switcher. If you make a world switcher, is it illegal for you, and only you to use it? It's not third party software, it's just you and jagex, that's two parties. They've said before that book marking worlds is acceptable, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superson Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I think 3rd party clients are legal... as long as you go through the front page in them... And you can't really switch worlds just by clicking a link either... but none of them can. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers. Alansson Alansson, woo woo woo!

A world switcher does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StArCrAfT213 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 runescape put there own world switcher in for a reason, now its really fast ne way no ned for another client only for fast links/chats/guide links/ maps n such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It has nothing to do with the program being released, it has everything to do with you having ANY advantage at all over ANY other player. Having a way to get into full worlds although not a world ending advantage is still an advantage none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakdragon39 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm fairly certain that bookmarkings pages is not legal. A) A P-Mod friend of mine let me know it wasn't B) They kept switching the address to world 2 before C) Now I, atleast, can't even bookmark worlds at all. I always get redirected to the front page. I'm not so sure on the First Party Client thing, but I'm pretty sure it would also be against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 No it's not legal and why is that? bookmarking worlds is legal. I'm fairly certain that bookmarkings pages is not legal.

biggy08755 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Third Party software is software not made by the First party. AKA Jagex. So no it's not legal. Even if only one person or 1 million people use it. It's still third party software well today at 11:30 am 14 years ago i was born.. wo0t!!!At 11:30 you should start holding your head underwater wo0t!!!Stop acting such a moron.

dberg20 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I do know how, but am pretty sure it is illegal. I have coded some worldswitchers in the past, when they were legal and one in the present but a browser-based one, I have a legal one in progress in visual basic right now. Jagex did confirm you are allowed to use desktop shortcuts, so logically this should be legal.

Lunar_Drifter Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 What about the whole debate about Swift Switch? Didn't Jagex say that you could use it (after the owner tweaked it a bit), but they didn't recommend using one?... Why would this be different?

zeldaot Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It's illegal, when Jagex says "Third Party" they are not meaning a relationship between three entities but rather any relationship which is not authorised/endorsed by the original party ie the IP owners (Jagex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireblade3730 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Third party means anyone outside the first party (This being jagex) So even if you made one and used it yourself, it would be third party.

silver24-7 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 They've said before that book marking worlds is acceptable, after all. They said that book marking worlds isn't acceptable, but anyways, what are they going to do about it if you make your own? And btw some 3rd party clients (e.g. swiftswitch) are legal, so why bother? :P I'm Finally 99 mage ^^ (and cooking...) :PSilver24-7 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Smither Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thsi discussion is very hard to follow because everyone drifts over to SS But what i understand that your asking is saving World 2 to the favorites legal? Am I right? I wonder if it's legal it's NOT third party SOFTWARE. But it does give an advantage :-k It probably is though.

primadog Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 just because there's no written rules doesn't mean it's legal in the eye of JaGeX. Of course, if you make it for yourself and do not distribute it, it's rather difficult for jagex to track, ie the old saying "it's legal till you're caught" All I learned in life, I learned on Tip.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedFish Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 heh... I've been using a homebrew RS client for about six months now... It's perfectly legal though, since you have to go through the main page and switch worlds like every other schmo who plays RS. It's more of a convenience, since it has an integrated calculator, notepad, map, and second window for browsing the forums while you are playing. I'm also working on a coordinate finder, and it's well under way. It's for my eyes only though, so nobody bug me about getting a copy :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, its not legal to make your own. Even if you convince Jagex it is legal they will ban you for even trying to bend their rules of their game. Its better just to have open 2 web pages, 1 on Runescape.com, and the other on Tip.it/runescape. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
