Game Session Validator/ Refresher

[Trey]

This will be quick and simple.

 

I hate coming back to the computer after doing RL shit for a bit and finding out that my game session has ended. I wouldn't really mind it if there were a way to check if the token was still valid before entering my Gettysburg Address of a password, but there isn't. That's where this suggestion comes in. Add a button that checks if you token is still valid, and if it's not, have a refresh button somewhere. Hell, if at all possible, just give me a fresh token without me having to reload. (not sure if that's doable)

 

tl;dr: Add a button to the login screen to check if your game token is still valid.

 

Exempli gratia

 

 

Notes:

• The CHECK CLIENT and REFRESH CLIENT buttons are at the bottom of the login page. Under Create new account.
  
• I use the official RS client so when the session ends I have to exit and reload the program.
  

Glad I got that off my breasts.

I would rather see them remove it altogether and allow it to be an optional parental control feature in the future.

What? The session being valid or not is a part of clusterflutter.

Your point being?

The core of cluster flutter was removed months ago and only small fragments remain. The purpose of the session eventually boils down to breaking bots. Shortly after the session was added, bot client developers wrote a subroutine to refresh the client and bypass it. It has no purpose anymore. It is only a painful reminder of the fact we need to go outside.

Got a solution for all of you -- Add a Captcha, and enable refresh of the session token that way! It would totally destroy the need to refresh the page, amongst other things! :thumbsup:

 

Heck, it might even murder bots! :twisted:

Uhh

 

Captchas are highly ineffective at deterring bots

Not true, especially if you mix in a lot of noise and/or distortion that only a human can actually see past. :geek:
