Authenticity aside - is a longer AFK/logout timer possible? If not, then a more convenient way to log back in?

Loving the game so far, but the main problem which might pull me out of commitment is the AFK/logout timer. Not asking for 10 minutes or anything crazy, but even adding 90-120 seconds would change our daily lives.

Either that, or a way for the game to save your creds in the cookies/cache so that you can just press one button to log back in.

This topic has been brought up on this forum before, but I am hoping stances might change over time.

I would be willing to donate $5 if it meant gaining access to this feature. After all, members content is free anyway.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

“Authenticity aside” is pretty much a non-starter around these parts. Nearly everything is relentlessly authentic. The authenticity is the entire experience!

The logout timer is 90 seconds and was not increased until 2009 when it was extended to 5 minutes: Update:Logout Timer Increase - The RuneScape Wiki

For logging back in quickly some members have taken to creating scripts that autotype their credentials. Be very mindful of which window is focused if you choose to go this route!

Thank you! I’ll go the script route to login.
