ok well i found this out a while back but i just now decided to ask what it is, i was messin around and typed @red on the runescape login page under username and it made me type red lettering, then i tried with multiple colors like gold and gree and it works with almost every color i use, anyone know why this happens?
Go to www.runescape.com
Go to Play Runescape.
Go play in High Detail.
Go to any world you want.
Press @red or another colour in the place where your name should be.
This works with quite some colours. You can just type the first 3 letters of the colour and the coulour will appear flashing.
I know why it does this.
On their client for the existing server, you can add new @colors by modifying something in a class file...
You make a line of code that includes the new 3 letter name and the HTML color code of the new color.
It's simple, I made a tut on it on Mopar... this means Jagex probably just carries on with the coexisting client, adding new stuff, never changing bases.
