Taken from RuneScape.com:

We have just banned over 15000 accounts from the main RuneScape game for breaking rule 7, and attempting to use software to play the game automatically for them.
We can detect this type of cheating VERY easily. Suprisingly some people seem to think they can get away with this, but we're making absolutely sure you can't.

As well as having new systems to detect people cheating in this way, we are also using a new system to go through and ban other accounts used by these cheats, so they can't just cheat on a 'throwaway' account they don't care about, and expect their other accounts to be unaffected.

We will not let cheats spoil our game for everyone else. It's just not fair on our millions of legitimate players to let a selfish few try and spoil the game for everyone else.



All I have to say is bye bye Fishing Guild autoers!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have made some changes to the way the Agility Pyramid works.
As of now, if you attempt to travel backwards over an obstacle, you will always fail it regardless of your agility level. (If you fall down by trying to go backwards you will now only take minimal damage.) This was necessary to stop players from taking advantage of an oversight where it was possible to gain a better rate of XP by simply traversing back and forth over certain obstacles rather than attempting to get to the top.

On Monday we were forced to alter the XP rates for the affected obstacles; the original higher XP rates for all the obstacles have now been reinstated. You will now gain exactly the same XP from the pyramid as you did when it was initially released, and as a useful side effect it will be a lot easier to give up and escape the pyramid if you find yourself running low on food or water.

Hope that stops a lot of people as well.

While I'm happy they're aggresively targeting autoers, I worry about the methods they might use to find and link 'throwaway' accounts to their other accounts. If they base it strictly on IP's, I can see people who use public computers getting accounts banned unfairly.

I think they've found a way around that, pretty sure that the public computer thing was what stopped them before.

Well, we shall see how well this will effect people. I have a feeling, that it isn't going to take the desired effect that people thought.

I will not make wild accusations about people I've never met and have no proof of them doing so.
