I quickly looked but didn't find an answer to this.

am sure am the same as a LOT of people here, every company want shtie own launcher and they all want them starting when computer turns on. easy enough to turn off jagex one.

my question is, do I HAVE to use it to login from now on? I'd much rather just open runescape and login but that gives me an error everytime I try to and I really don't need a launcher just to open runescape.

I'll be honest am kinda trying to figure out the point of the launcher from my perspective. I don't use mutiple chars so maybe thats it

Hi there
happllo hax


Use of the Launcher is not essential currently however Jagex is rapidly moving towards making players upgrade to the new 'Jagex Account' and Launcher use will be compulsory then.

It might feel unnecessary when you only have a single character but the new 'Jagex Account' is being introduced to beef up account security for players.
Account hijacking is a significant problem and the Jagex Account system makes it very, very difficult for a hijacker to gain access to another players account.

well I know am regretting upgrading to it at the moment, everytime it logs me out I have to wait for a verifiction to prove it's me.

this is account insecurity, this is so intrusive it will activly encourage people to turn it off. you wouldn't think just refreshing the browser page would need verification again
