sprocketme2 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I am a webmaster and have me own runescape fan site. I have the ability to play runescape on a page on my site, but is that allowed by jagex? The only reson for doing this is for easy access to world 60 and so i can have links and pics right there as i play. Oh and this does not change the game itself at all. Just the area around the playing area. I Think its perfectly legal because ive seen others with this sort of thing but i just want to make sure.

Pandaman115 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 It's very illegal, and you will get banned for it. As i've heard. [Admin Edit: No naming names in a negative light] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcyte Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 It's very illegal, and you will get banned for it. As i've heard. how so? i don't think it is.

bflitny1 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 As far as I know, iframes (which I presume you are using) are legal for personal use only, but if you're hosting the game for others to use, then it is highly illegal and you could end up getting banned, along with everyone else who uses it. Don't quote me on this, but I presume this is how it would work. Drops: Barrows: 60+ DK: 4... Dragon: 60+ Whips: 2...

tafrank Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 using a frame or iframe for it. its not like a 3rd part program or anything, and it dont interact with game so how can be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indizle Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 So basically you run the client from a different webpage? I do think they object to that very much. The only places the client can be accessed are the official website and Miniclip. I think that the ability to host the client is something of a right that JaGEx sells (I believe Miniclip Pays Jagex for the client, but I'm not positive), and in essence you might be stealing that right. Truth be told, just doing that is kinda pointless...just switch between windows if you must be on a website and the game at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketme2 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 yes this is intended for me only, it doesnt affect the game at all, and i believe it is an iframe. As for paying for it, i am a member so there are no advertisements anyway, and i am technicly paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But due to the mods having mixed opinions on the matter, Jagex allows SS (Not naming program.), but I'm not sure about this. SS Doesn't black advertisements, does this? It's against the rules to block adverts... :uhh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketme2 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 oh and how do i go about sending a quary to jagex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indizle Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think it's the other way round. Runescape amke millions extra because of miniclip, it makes more sense for them to pay miniclip to host it. Very true, that does make more sense. I was thinking that Miniclip paid to add the client to get more hits, which would then get more advertising revenue. But that makes no sense the more I think about it. Either way, I'm sure Jagex doesn't want you hosting a client on your own webpage. When you pay for members, you pay for extra content, not the right to add the client to personal webpages, so I still think its illegal. The safe thing to do would to not even bother with the issue and play it on a separate browser or the Official Client like most other people. But, whatever, message Jagex to find out for sure. EDIT: I found this on JaGEx's official website: Commercial Alliances Partnerships - RuneScape Jagex partners with leading companies to bring the playing experience of RuneScape to as wide an audience as possible. Broadly, any significant online business who currently has a large and suitable audience could be a potential Jagex partner. Most Partnerships are done on a revenue sharing basis: earning significant additional revenues for the partner with no additional investment. Jagex can help monetize your audience. So I guess Miniclip and Jagex simply split profits for Miniclip users, which explains why their Main page for Runescape is different from the official one. Btw, as an interesting note, apparantly a third website hosts Runescape: http://www.mofunzone.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tefda Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 If you don't host a page and say "Play RS here instead of at Runescape.com!" I'd think you'd be good. If you just keep it as an .html file on your desktop, that'd be even better. It's techenically not using a third party software since it's still in the browser. You're good but still send in a query if you're not sure about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its where my name comes from too. mini=miniclip. lol that does make sense though because thousands of people play on miniclip and I think being their number 2(used to be number 1) game gets a lot of publicity Doing a little bit of everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugafan_2009 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think it's illegal cause some sites could put a keylogger on it and steal people's password. But I'm not sure. Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfmon56 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 As long as you don't tell other people to go there and play it, and it's not your own private server, it's perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaleber Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I doubt that it's illegal, since you are playing from the main Jagex site. If you had made your own private server (which you haven't) that would not be allowed. 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayoszee Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It sounds like you just have a link to a world, and surrounding this frame where the RuneScape game plays, you have a series of links and images. Effectively little more then having your Bookmark window/toolbar open. Something everyone can do. You are not doing anything illegal. You just have links around your RuneScape game for convience sake, links to information, maps and forums. Even, World switchers have been obsolete with JaGeX's own world system (which can be even easier to use via bookmarks and disabling javascript, but you already know that :lol: ). Any advantages you could gain from a set up like this is already available via bookmark toolbar, something available on any kind of internet browser. 98% of teenagers have been drunk or around alcohol.
