Technically this is against rule 7.

 

 

 

The html document counts as a 3rd party application.

 

 

 

Here are some quotes from runescape.com for rule 7:

 

 

 

It must not bypass the normal navigation of our website for users wishing to reach the game worlds. The software should initially only point at the front page of http://www.runescape.com, and should require the user to navigate through the website normally to reach the game worlds. The software must not contain or acquire direct links to our "Select a world" page, or to our game world pages, or to the RuneScape applet.

 

 

 

The html file bypasses the normal navigation by directing to the world webpage.

 

 

 

It must not attempt to make it easier to enter a busy RuneScape world than it would be for users not using the software. It must not allow worlds marked as 'FULL' on the world select page to be selected. It must not contain any features to make it easier to enter or monitor busy worlds.

 

 

 

The html file does exactly this, goes straight to the world full or not.

 

 

 

 

 

You may be sitting there thinking "Hey, it's a html file... Not a program!" Well, that is very untrue indeed.

 

 

 

A quote from Jagex explaining that these rules include web-based software:

 

 

 

What do you mean by "software"?

 

 

 

 

 

Software means any type of software, including: downloadable software (e.g an [Caution: Executable File] file), or web-based software (e.g a website set up to perform a similar function with flash, java, javascript or serverside scripts).

 

 

 

So your application does infringe on rule 7, if it didn't then a web-based world switcher i wrote before the rule 7 update would still be 100% legal today.

 

 

 

Edit: I know you're going to flame me over your response on the runescape PST about this not being against rule 7, so here is what i say - in the message sent to Jagex PST it does not say anywhere that it uses a html file to aid pointing the browser to the world page - which this does meaning that it is using 3rd party software!

 

 

 

When/where did you find that?

 

 

 

That's new...

eehhhh......im going to wait a bit more before i try this... seems risky :ohnoes:

great guide works fine for me thanks 8-)

404 - Page not found

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Sorry, the page you were looking for was not found.

 

 

 

Wat am i doing wrong?

Well... If someone happens to remember, when the old SS was made illegal, the reason happened to be that using it didn't involve the normal navigation through the runescape website. Creating a desktop shortcut is illegal behalf to the same rule that SS got made illegal with.

 

 

 

Even though, there is absolutely no way jagex could find out you're using a desktop shortcut, so go ahead, use it.

 

 

 

I will :wink:

BEST GUIDE EVER :shock: make a siggy and i will put this in my signature. 10/10. =D> =P~ :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Obviously that Mod doesn't know what you mean, and once again uses a template.

 

Since first off all, a shortcut is something you make in notepad or something similar, not a 3rd party program.

 

And second, you get the whole explanation we always get.

 

To me another prove they don't actually read what you say.

 

 

 

That on the side, for me it works perfectly, I will use it to get into the merchant worlds :)

 

 

 

I also believe that they can't see if you use the shortcut, since it just uses your normal webbrowser like it always would.

great guide works fine for me thanks 8-)

 

 

 

still doesnt work...

 

 

 

dont use spaces when you title the world you chose. put .htm at the end. i had a simaler problem. this should work. hope it helps :D :wink:

i give up...

thx for the info! lookign forward to using that! \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think thats ok in a nutshell. O:)..

 

 

 

ALSO: instead of putting the world of your choice you can put high scores forums loggin page etc. love the guide but proof is good :D

Yet another canned response from Jagex...
