2. Never enter your password or recovery-questions into ANY website other than runescape.com or runescape.co.uk. You should NOT use the same password at every website you visit, this is very dangerous! Your RuneScape password should be different to all your other passwords, and ONLY used for RuneScape.

3. Watch out for fake websites! There are websites which looks very similar to runescape.com but STEAL your password. Don't trust a site just because it looks official.

4. Watch out for fake emails, and fake staff! There are many people pretending to be Jagex Staff or impersonating me. It is easy to forge emails, so don't trust an email just because it looks official. Real staff will NEVER ask you for your password!.

5. Do NOT share your RuneScape account with anyone else! Not even your best friend! A HUGE number of players have lost their account this way. Not only is this an extremly stupid thing to do, it's also against the rules. So we won't help you when you come crying to us!

6. Don't use unofficial RuneScape addons. There are programs which claim to make RuneScape easier or better, but actually STEAL your password. Not only is using these programs extremely risky, it's also against the rules.

7. When entering your password make sure nobody is standing behind you watching you type it in! You wouldn't believe how often this happens! Please be careful.

8. Make sure your computer is secure! Most windows distributions are NOT secure unless you take some basic precautions
