It is your responsibility to ensure that your RuneScape password remains safe. You must not disclose your password to anybody else for any reason. Real Jagex staff will never ask you for your current password. You must ensure your computer is kept free of viruses and trojans to ensure the safety of your password.

You may create more than one account, but if you do, you may not log in more than one account at any time, and they must not interact with each other in any way. Using one account to drop objects for transfer to another of your accounts is not allowed.

Chat-facility and message-boards

When using the built in chat-facility or message-boards you must not use any language which may be considered by others to be offensive, racist or obscene. You must not use the chat facility to harass, threaten, scam or deceive other players.

You agree that for the purpose of preventing offensive language we may automatically or manually censor the chat as we see fit, and that we may record the chat to help us identify offenders.

Sexually-harassing, threatening, stalking, or otherwise harassing others is illegal, and may result in legal action being taken against you.

If you are a victim of the sort of behavior described above, or receive any other unwanted communications you must use the built in facilities to block the messages. If there is a particular user causing a problem then use the ignore function to block further messages. (to do this point at the friends menu, click on the 'ignore' tab, click where it says 'click here to add a name' and finally enter the name of the user to block.) If you continue to receive unwanted messages, or receive harassment from multiple players then you must use the privacy controls to block all messages from everyone except your friends. (to do this point at the configuration menu, and ensure all 4 privacy settings are switched to 'on'). If you continue to have problems, or are still not satisfied then you must immediately stop playing RuneScape and must no longer access this website.
