Jagex rules

[TheAncient]

I had some questions regarding Jagex's rules for RS. Obvioulsy I should have contacted Jagex on these issues, but apparently Jagex doesnt answer F2P players' questions :-k And I already looked at the knowledge database.

 

 

 

1) Apparently "AFK" (away from keyboard) training is against the rules. Is doing something else while RSing (e.g. CS, forum browsing) considered AFK, as you're not actively playing RS?

 

2) Is the use of stickykeys (my regular mouse click is REALLY loud, stickykeys makes it so much softer) macroing? It just helps you click. =\

 

 

 

:D

yes and no... its considered afk to to anything that is not letting you pay full attention to the game. things like browsing another forum, looking through the knowledge base, etc., while considered afk are widely done, but you run the risk of being surprised by something, losing track of your hp and dieing, etc. etc. then theres always the white screen of death, something that i get everytime i switch screens now that ive updated my java client thingy... i hate that thing...

 

2) Is the use of stickykeys (my regular mouse click is REALLY loud, stickykeys makes it so much softer) macroing? It just helps you click. =\

no i dont see how that can get you banned. the thing about macros is that they are very methodical, precise, and repetitive. if your doing the same actions at a very specific rythm for a while, you may get more randoms(in theory) and you might get reported by passers by which could lead to you being banned. just be careful.

1)Yeah, you can be called for that, but I don't think many people are called for it. It's mostly those who leave their Keyboards for an extended period of time. Lots of people surf the forums whilst playing RS, heck I'm doing it right now and I have a spotless record! Just keep checking in and out of the game and you should be fine.

 

 

 

2)Yes, Jagex will crack you down for that. They do not like it when people aren't using the mouse themselves. They supposedly have software in RS to detect when things aren't happening by your own mouse. Many have fallen prey to it, so I'd suggest stick to the noisy mouse and if you must get a nice quite one, wrap it up in a cone of silence (D&D anyone?) and try to keep it quiet. Just stick with the mouse and you'll be fine.

No, it was confirmed by amod apparently that using keyboard keys as a mouse are fine, which isnt using the mouse. Im not quite sure what stickykeys are though, but id imagine its something similar. As long as you are incontrol of your character its fine.
