do not download the new runescape software it is spyware (they say it is collecting your details about your comp


is it balls they already know that just by you visiting there site

(and so can every one else if you own a site (google analytics) its not hard)

this means this software is nto for that it is for something else
do not downlaod it

cmon guys we are a comunity of hackers/programmers i bet amost everyone on here has a higher iq than average (not including leechers)
if they think we will fall for it they really are pushing stupid to another lvl

omg did u see that jagex got 99 stupid skill cape

this goes for leechers aswell

i dot really care if jagex bans you an all that but if it srarts sending them details about the scripts and the websites srl could get ruined

do not risk srl



When planning future projects or attempting to really push the technology of the RuneScape game, we often come across the same problem: we have no information about everyone's computer hardware. With this kind of information, we could release more RuneScape improvements that make the best use of your system's capabilities.

We have come up with a solution that we'd like you to help us with. We have developed a program that, once downloaded, will tell us the following things about your computer:

Your operating system
Your graphics card
Your CPU
Your Java version
Relevant graphical and audio drivers
Once we've gathered together all of this information, we can begin planning our future projects and RuneScape improvements to work within these specifications. This means that very few people will miss out on some awesome updates that we have planned!

To begin downloading the program, visit this link and log in. It will guide you through an agreement page to make sure that you understand what is required. The process does not take long, so you should be back to RuneScape in no time.

The applet is completely secure and official (you can verify this by checking that your address bar states www.runescape.com/). We can guarantee that your information will only be used by Jagex to develop future games and improve RuneScape. It will not be shared with any other organisations.

NOTE - Please only download the program from RuneScape.com. This is the only legitimate source.

You are aware that Java applets are sandboxed right? It would be impossible to use it install spyware, from what I can see it does exactly what jagex says it does which I find quite intriguing…

You guys need to calm the hell down. They don't care about you as SRL cheating makes little to no impact on the game. And they would already know that anyone who is smart on here and doesn't get banned through their macroing detection system isn't going to download the program. Instead, their program does what it says it does and it will be used by millions of people and hopefully will create better future updates.

They won't be able to tell does or doesn't have SCAR or other cheating programs installed. Or anything other than what they specified will be looked at. That is a breach or privacy and will land them in court.
