tomdavies90 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 well today, SwiftSwitch got the much awaited update which makes it (well i guess not 100% until jagex confirm but he fixed everything he was told too) legal. i was just wondering wether people who never used it before will consider using it now that they can safely do so?

Mollerz Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 SS is is illegal on these forums. But maybe you could get a confirmation from Jagex. Click my signature for my blog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakka102 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 SS is is illegal on these forums. But maybe you could get a confirmation from Jagex.I dont understand that, It's not illegal by Jagex's rules anymore so why is it illegal here? I thought tip.it followed Jagex's rules....       Already DL'ed my v2.39. Works like a charm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaGEx just frowns upon the usage of 3rd Party programs as you probablly know, so Tip.It goes along and does not want us to talk about them. At least that's how it was before.       I'm DLing it now.

I think it needs to be unblocked so I don't have to use it through the firefox window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecube Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well actually, I just read the updates news and they said:       We've also had to disable the ability to connect to other irc servers, this isn't something we enjoy having to do but with the current rules there's just no way we could of left the feature in. I'm not entirely sure if this is permanent, we'll just wait and see.       So that means it's not just Tip.It. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elishot Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Tip.it is not blocked. All servers are blocked from the SS irc window. They have disabled the use of the function /server        They also have put on a mode +f to every user (a censor that censors websites, bad words, etc)       It was necessary for them to keep IRC on SS. So you won't be able to access tip.it's server through SS, you will have to download mIRC.        [and the swiftirc network is not working right now either, it should be up soon later] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I send a message to Jagex a few days ago and they replied (probably automated...) saying "We do not recommend downloading any 3rd party clients, due that they might have a keylogger...*blah blah blah about how anti-virus cant scan completly...bah*"Â Â Â Â Â Â Â So its legal, but they dont recommend it. Thats what I'm thinking. Well anywho I'm using it right now and it works as a charm. :D "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

ashozzy2 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 as a third party developer i asked jagex about the legitmacy of these add ons.       Seems that World changers are perfectly legal aslong as they do not let you enter worlds that are allready full, chat has to be stated that it is not endorsed by jagex, seems all fair to me.

Thus Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i used to use swift, but until jagex says it's legal, i wont use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastForce Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It's finally out :)   Already dloaded :D        IMO they should allow to connect to other servers but put up a disclaimer  Road To Trimmed Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What better options does it offer? With the world delays the world switcher won't work. A stats look up? Big deal, just use mIRC or just open up another page. I never did understand why SS became so popular after the world delays were introduced by Jagex, but maybe I'm missing something....     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
