Mischlings Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I was reading runescape Wiki and ran across this bit of information: "The highscores for a player do update if a player reaches the 6 hour auto-log. " I didn't find any other mention of that on the site, so can anyone clarify to me what exactly this is? I have a suspicion that it simply means that the game logs you out after 6 straight hours of playing, but I don't remember ever hearing of that before. Can anyone clarify what this is and when it came out? If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

HunterMetroid64 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Yes the game will log you out after 6 straight hours of playing, though you can log right back in when this happens. It was introduced some months ago. Can't really remember when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mischlings Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 This has been around for many years so it's not anything new. Interesting -- I've played since RSC and do not remember ever hearing of that before today. Well, now I know.

Skull Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Never happened to me. Probably because I eat and piss more often than once every 6 hours. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The question is WHY is there an 6-hour log? :blink: BlogTrimmed | Master Quester | Final BossBoss pets: Bombi | Shrimpy | Ellie | Tz-Rek Jad | Karil the Bobbled | Mega Ducklings120s: Dungeoneering | Invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy_Accursed Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It's misleading wording and pointless info of the Wikis behalf really. Highscores update when you log off; just because you happen to get auto-logged off due to palying 6 hours straight doesn't really change that. I mean you're still LOGGING OFF whihc is what makes highscores update ur data Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joskeuhtje1 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It's mainly because when someone's membership has expired, he can use autoclick to never logout, and he won't buy new membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But system updates don't "log you off" they kick you off because the server turns off, leaving you're account "trapped" in the server the same as it is in a server crash.

I assuse the fact that I logged out to switch worlds is the reason. I laughed so hard at that. "I've played for 8 consecutive hours but have never been auto-logged [due to the system tht auto logs you after 6 hours of consecutive play]""I logged out to switch worlds" Clearly if you logged out you did not play for over 6 consecutive hours, you played in 2 stints that totalled 8 hours.

anonymous_user Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah, it happened to me on a very long TET KBD trip. I guess one reason that Jagex might've put it there is so they can say that they have ways of preventing no-lifing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy [cabbage]. You play 12+ hours a day? That's... fairly... ... I'll just walk away from you at this point Yes, on weekdays my frequent rhytm is 12 hours runescape, 6 hours sleep and 6 hours work. This can vary a bit of course depending on how tired I am. On weekends my rhytm is a bit more inconsistent varying from 6 to 24 hours runescape a day (sleeping from 0 to 18 hours). Yes I'm happy with my life like it's <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
