Re-add a link to the forums/main website visible from in-game
Before RS3, there used to be a bar at the top of the gaming window with a few links, one of which was to the forums. Reimplementing this would likely raise awareness of the forums and other key areas of the website to newer players and also streamline the journey to the forums/main website for the more experienced - instead of having to open a new tab and type in runescape, one would just follow the link...
It does not necessarily need to graphically implemented in the same way as before, but it would be useful to have it visible when playing the game imo...

Move 'Continue to Full Website' to beneath 'Play Now' on the RS splash intro page
Since the spash intro page was introduced I've always through the link to the main website was always very hidden away down at the bottom of the page in small font... The main RS website is zupa useful and has a 'Play Now' link of its own, I don't see any reason why it's existence should not be made more apparent on the splash intro page.
Recently, a big link to it has been added in the top right hand corner of the page. However, the most eye-grabbing feature is the big 'Play Now' button in the center, so my eye at least did not stray up to the top right until further inspection. Imo, an effective idea would be to move up the small font 'Continue to Main Website' link from the bottom of the page to just under the big 'Play Now' link where it would tap in on the the attention the latter draws...

Hey there,
I remember using those links really quite a lot, especially the forum link. It allowed players to click that link and automatically be logged into the site too which was really useful. I would definitely be in support of this idea. I will be interested to see whether or not this would be able to be implemented however I can't see why not.

Bit of a short ramble but I hope I made sense
- C.E.
I noticed this when I used a dfferent laptop as mine automatically goes to full site as I favourited it, but I completely see where you are coming from. Although they obviously want to encourage people to play the game, the site contains so much useful information concerning the game, I can't see why they have made it so small.
I definitely agree with this, they need to show off their hard work!
Thanks for the suggestions. I will implement these suggestions in tomorrow and add the pros and cons I have too with linked feedback. I just wanted to respond!

Looks like at least one of the website devs is around in this forum today, so just bumping this to page one.
