Quote from: 27-Aug-2010 - RuneScape Game Bar
We’ve recently released the RuneScape Game Bar, which is a toolbar for your web browser that gives you up to date RuneScape information. The main features of the Game Bar are:

  • Information about any Grand Exchange offers you have running.
  • Reminders about repeatable content, including when you can next play Tears of Guthix, redo the Phoenix Lair, fight Bork and the Skeletal Horror, and when you can earn more Thieves’ Guild Hanky Points.
  • Quick links to the RuneScape forums, game guide and Adventurer’s Log, among others.
  • An RSS feed of recent newsposts on the RuneScape website.
  • A ‘Play Now’ button to quickly load up RuneScape.
  • A search bar.

We are also working on additional features, including seeing which of your friends is online. If you have any suggestions for other things we can add to the Game Bar, visit the RS Game Bar - Try it Out! forum thread.

To install the Game Bar, simply click this link and follow the instructions. Currently, the Game Bar only supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Safari. There is an FAQ about the Game Bar here.

Sounds like Jagex is trying to prevent players using unofficial RuneScape Clients like Swiftkit. :D

I'm guessing this is the RuneScape Downloadable Client we were promised?

The downloadable client has been available for a number of years, i believe they said something about updating it to support things like "the Runescape game bar".  I'm assuming this is the first step in this though.

Sad no Chrome support though :-\. Then again, Chrome doesn't have many 'attachments' does it?
