Runescape Login Update

Jagex are aware a number of scams in runescape revolve around people attemtping to fool players by immitating how the main runescape.com site looks. This has led to many people foolishly entering their actual runescape password into someone elses site and therefore having their account taken over.

Jagex announced the new login update that will hopefully help people become more aware when they enter their login details. It is stated that the new login is more secure although the main benefit should be to inform all players to take extra caution when entering their password onto websites.

There are numerous runescape help sites and fan sites that do genuinely help players who have problems. However, there are numerous sites who deliberately try and fool people into entering their password information.

Gradually Jagex are working their way through all the scams and closing as many loop holes as they can. The cumulative affect of all the security upgrades and increased attention on how to reduce scams, should make a large impact on the number of people who do get scammed.

There is still a long way to go to win the overall battle with scammers, but Jagex have made another stride in the right direction.
