Jagex vs. IBot & Anti-Bot Update
1 day ago

We’re delighted to be able to announce that we’ve finally triumphed in our 2-year legal battle with Impulse Software, the developers of the iBOT RuneScape botting software.

Their statement on their websites sums it up very nicely:

“Farewell,

We (Mark/Eric Snellman t/a Impulse Software) have owned and operated the websites www.rscheata.net, www.impsoft.net and www.oembots.com for several years. We’ve been developing and making money through these websites from botting software called iBOT that works exclusively with RuneScape.

We’ve been involved in a lawsuit with Jagex in the US regarding the legality of this software and our actions for the last two years.

Recently, judgment was entered in Jagex’s favor at Court on every count in the case. We have to pay Jagex a significant sum of money, although we are not allowed to say exactly how much for legal reasons. We are also prevented by injunction from doing a number of things in the future, including developing botting software, helping other people develop or use botting software or talking about Jagex, the lawsuit or RuneScape. If we breach any of the conditions of the injunction (such as by developing new bot software or helping people cheat in RuneScape) we would have to pay Jagex at least $1,000,000.

Throughout the course of this lawsuit, we’ve come to understand the harm that botting does to RuneScape and Jagex. We’d like to apologize to Jagex and to all legitimate RuneScape players for the damage and harm iBOT has done.

In the next few weeks our websites, domains, code and customer details will be passed over to Jagex along with details of all those people who we know have developed scripts for iBOT and sold or re-sold those scripts.

We also won’t be going near Jagex or any Jagex game ever again. In fact, we’re prohibited from playing RuneScape or any other Jagex game ever again as a condition of this case ending.

Shortly, all references to iBOT and Impulse Software will disappear from the internet. We’d encourage all of you who have scripts or iBOT to delete them and certainly not to try and use or develop them. We’ve not been able to fix them anyway following Bot Nuke week, but if you did manage to get them working again, you’d be open to the same claims Jagex has made against us.

Mark and Eric Snellman – trading as Impulse Software”

Obviously, this is a big win for us, but it’s also just one of the latest initiatives in our ongoing offensive to permanently stamp out botting and gold-farming in RuneScape. First and foremost, we’ve remained dedicated to this cause to provide you - our esteemed community - an enduringly great game, and we’ve no intention of stopping here.

We remain committed to our ongoing work to ensure that the successes of Bot Nuke Day are never undone by staying a few steps ahead in the arms race with the remaining bot developers and gold farmers. We’re already well underway with our next generation of anti-botting software called Optimus, which is going to be released shortly, and we’re also currently developing ways to remove the remaining screen-scraper bots from the game. We’ll also be continuing to fight gold-farmers on every front.

The team has been dedicated to eliminating the last of the performance issues experienced by some users since Bot Nuke Day, and we will shortly be releasing an update intended to resolve these problems. We’re also planning further improvements to game accessibility and performance in future updates this year.

Have fun!

Cheers,

Mark Gerhard
CEO & CTO

Am pretty sure color bots can still survive this.

Bring it on.

Btw heres a citidal miner (so it has walking too) that I made a while back that doesn't use color, apart from compass.

Seems like now days with its possible to even bot with just the compass (there is another person on villavu that made a near perfect tile walking function) and polar coordinate. We can literally make bots for a blind runescape.

The day jagex stops bots completely, is when they break the laws of physics, math and make rs look like chuck norris.

Inb4GF and Jagex lose bank

Main you are my hero =P

But ye, if Jagex nuke the color bot i will be very impressed.

M_A_I_N_FTW · Jan 28, 2012

Did I mention you could already bot with a black and white rs?

Even if they want to take legal action again simba and scar, they can't as they are just compiler for a language that has some minor computer vision capabil, also rid doesn't even load the rs client which should keep them safe too.

fuck jagex.

That would probably be easier, haha. Then you are only working with value instead of a range of colors.

Lame · Jan 28, 2012

there game stoped being fun years ago now its all about ruing the game for every legit player and destroying runescape in any way possible.

iBowi · Jan 28, 2012

Interesting, but that certainly wasn't their exact words. Things like saying we see what botting does to rs and we apologize blah blah and whatever else they said is probably part of the settlement

Crabtree · Jan 28, 2012

Jagex will do everything in it's power to stomp out botting, and rid the game of gold farmers. I am glad i've purchased enough gp to get all my buyable skills to 99. : o )

It is sad they just don't try to sell gold on their site as the most effective way to stomp out gold farmers. This method would work 100%, but doubt they would actually do it.

The problem is, they have to keep changing their prices to be cheaper than that of the goldfarmers/RWTers. Eventually gold will be worthless. Also, where will Jagex's gold come from? They would have to spawn it, and too much gold going into the game would ruin the economy. Therefore this solution has many faults.

Getting rid of bots is ruining the game for legit players and destroys rs? Okay lol

fruit12 · Jan 28, 2012

Rest in peace Ibot. Thanks for the 99 mining + 99 strength.
I admire mark for actually trying his hardest against Jagex in this lawsuit. He stood up for his company against a huge corporation.

He means that they are destroying the game when they trying to get rid of the bots.

SmokeHut · Jan 29, 2012

Really they can only stamp-out the bots that inject directly into their game. Stamping out basic Java languages on colour will be incredibly difficult.. And I can only imagine them damaging the quality of their game by doing so.

I personally use Java to script basic colour bots through RuneDream, so I was making a reference to what I have knowledge of. I'm aware of other languages.
