there is a link on miniclip.com that says you can play runescape on it but it seems like a password scam isnt this against jagex's rules?

No it's not a scam, it links right to Runescape's site.

So, you didn't know that Miniclip is one of Jagex's official affiliates?

Runescape does say "Don't enter your password anywhere except runescape.com", however miniclip is affiliated with Jagex. Runescape actually owes a lot of its success to miniclip for becoming so popular. I believe you can only get up to level 30 on miniclip however.

How Miniclip does this: http://www.jagex.com/corporate/index.ws

If you are interested in becoming a Jagex partner, such as enabling visitors to your website to play RuneScape without leaving your website go here.

Before miniclip: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/yankeefan/alot.bmp
I uploaded this over two years ago. Notice the title of "alot". This was considered a huge amount of players playing at the same time. Once Miniclip and Jagex teamed up, Runescape became huge due to the hoards of "Miniclip noobs" that began playing. The overall intellectual level of Runescape players dropped dramatically around this time, and has never recovered :\

Regardless, I strongly recommend that you do not play Runescape anywhere except Runescape.com. As far as I know, Runescape is only affiliated with Miniclip and one other site of which I can't remember the name of. These sites are really only for new players.

Bottom line, don't play anywhere except Runescape.com, you don't need to play it anywhere else, and as long as you just stick to runescape.com, you don't need to worry about whether or not the site is legit(which 99% of the time it will not be).

The window that appears (in miniclip) is run off the RS servers; if anything it would be against the 3rd party client rules, but as people have mentioned the two sites are affiliated.

the only reason i thought it was funky was, on runescape it says never enter your username and password on a site unless the in the address bar it specifically says "www.runescape.com"

Well, I think perhaps Jagex should have made an announcement of said partnership.

That was the runescape site, it was just through miniclip. I messed with the link and got it directly.
