    Apparently I live under a rock, Chromium is dropping support for NPAPI and honestly I can say good riddance, however this means Java will no longer work in browsers. That being said, its probably best for you RSPS owners who still use"Web clients" to start migrating to a universal desktop client.

    Here are a few options for you

    C# is becoming a cross platform language, so with that you can take advantage of .NET, I released my Summit Loader awhile back.

    The code takes advantage of WebKit, but soon I'll push an update to make it utilize a built in OpenJDK so the user won't even need Java installed. This will also allow you to some level communicate between the C# client and the RS client

    http://www.rune-server.org/runescape...urce-code.html


    If you don't want the hassle of that, I made this to load jars remotely so they can always be up-to-date

    There is a known bug however I haven't fixed: https://github.com/Codeusa/Drunken-JAR-Loader/issues/1

    http://www.rune-server.org/runescape...ar-loader.html



    Anyway, switch because in April 2015 NPAPI support will be disabled by default in Chrome.
    What am I watching now?

    Guess why that is why I never noticed, I use Firefox on Arch as my dedicated browser.

    Well it's disabled on chrome by default for security reasons or something. But I'm sure it's not a big deal. Maybe oracle will rewrite the java plugin. Haha

    Finally, I am actually looking forward to this. I hope to see some serious work by jagex on making a native client now. I picture something epic and my standards are so high, I can only be disappointed.

    This really isn't a huge deal, google has the GWT which already supports compiling java -> javascript, this is just a way for them to secure their own products while simultaneously knock down oracle.

    Also means they can reduce the amount of potential exploits in chrome significantly compared to the other browsers, which looks good if you know nothing about computers and live in fear of those dastardly 4chan hackers

    To be honest, render distance in those pictures still looks rather very short compared to what some of current gen mmorpgs can offer.
    Nonetheless though, the improvement is clearly visible and looks great.
