Runescape Invisibility Glitch Video

Hi guys, short video that I made today. It features me doing various activities while invisible. Player A sees player A and player B, while player B sees only themself. Because I don't know a whole lot about game mechanics, I don't know whether player A was invisible to all other players or just player B. I was going to log on a third account to check but I would have had to log out my current 2 players which could have taken away the invisibility.

Anyway this video is still interesting to watch, although I've been informed that the music is bad, so feel free to mute it. Full screen and highest resolution is also a good idea :)

Not gonna lie, that's pretty cool. But how?

Unfortunately it was an accident. I was dual logging to transfer some stuff And I walked on player over to the other to trade. Then I realized that I couldn't see them. I looked on the invisible one's screen and everything looked normal. :p

The only thing I can think of would be that I had to log the two accounts in at almost the exact same time or else Jagex's dual log prevention system would block them, so maybe that caused it.

What about typing message and the trade request?

I traded with the invisible account after, it worked fine except the invisible one had to initiate the trade because the other one couldn't trade it because it couldn't see it. As for typing messages, if the invisible one typed messages then the other one would not see them.

I decided not to put the trading in the video because I would have had to edit out the account names which I didn't know how to do :p

All of this happened after I found out about the invisibility, I think it was invisible right after login.

I have had the same situation happen to me! I was only able to trade with the account that could see both, then click the trade offer that was there.

Had this happen to me while training on lessers, the other guy was like, "Wtf, where did you go?". He re-logged and he could see me again.

bot while invisible! but since relogging fixes it, i guess not.

I've had this situation often too recently when I've dual logged. The first time I was so excited that one character was invisible, so I went to the wildy to try and pk. Sadly, I realised pretty quick everyone could see me :p

Yep, I'm fairly sure it's client sided not server side.
