Jagex tracking GE?

Well, I was simply creating a library for Java to get page encoding faster and I stumbled upon this code latched on to the bottom of the code


<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker=_gat._getTracker("*******"); // <--- edited.
pageTracker._setDomainName("runescape.com");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
}catch(x){}

</script>

I may be an idiot for bringing this up, idk, but it seems to me that they might be able to track mass checkings of different object ids within a few seconds using that shouldn't they? Again, I might be being an idiot, discuss.

P.S. Could they have someone here inside SSRL? How else would they know to track that.

I think its common to track pages views in this case. I doubt its anything new because of us. I'm sure we're not the only ones that record data en masse from their website.

With the new PHP script that will be the only thing that we use to get our data. This way they don't recognize patterns from a script when all of use use it. (plus php is faster and server based) If they ask just say its a database, I doubt they'll care.

Yeah, true, PHP would be faster. Anyways, I just thought it was strange that I saw that pop up all the sudden.

Not like they could do much to stop us anyways. No usernames to ban or anything.

yeah, working on getting a plugin made though. I'm doing it the hard way though, trying to access a java library through JNI in C++ so yeah, its not easy stuff. Anyone that can help please pm, else I guess I'm on my own.

I'm doing it the hard way cause I want to be able to plugin stuff I write in Java.

If you ever get the code base you should release it into the "C++ plugins" thread in tutorial island, that seems to be the place for getting plugins in new languages :p
