WARNING: READ BEFORE PLAYING
Photo sensitive Seizure warning
A very small proportion of people can experience epileptic seizures when
exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Such exposure to
certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer screen, or while playing
video games, may induce an epileptic seizure in these people. Certain
conditions can induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in
people who have no prior history of prior seizures or epilepsy.
If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult
your physician prior to playing RuneScape. If you experience any of the
following symptoms while playing a video or computer game - dizziness,
eye or muscle twitches, altered vision, loss of awareness,
disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions - STOP PLAYING
IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician. Only when they have given you
the all clear should you resume play.
Repetitive Strain Injury Warning
Prolonged use of a computer, bad posture, low levels of fitness can all
combine to contribute to a condition referred to as Repetitive Strain
Injury.
To help avoid it follow these simple steps:
When playing RuneScape take a 10 minute break from your computer every
hour. Get up and walk around, do some stretches. Exercise regularly.
When using the computer only maintain a loose grip on the mouse. Never
rest your wrists on a support whilst typing or using the mouse. For
extended periods of mouse-only use place the mouse directly in front of
you between you and the monitor. Make sure the top of the monitor is at
eye level and directly in front of you and that your seat is at the
right height so that your forearms are at right angles to your upper
arms.
The picture below illustrates a correct sitting position:
If you have any serious pain or discomfort in your arms, neck, shoulders
or back whilst playing RuneScape stop playing immediately and consult
your physician. Only when they have given you the all clear should you
resume play.
