== Autorune ==

Autorune was an automating program made by Kaitnieks for Runescape. Autorune is no longer in continued-development.
Autorune worked by sending commands, normally sent through the regular Runescape client. Autorune was sold by Kaitnieks on November 01, 2002 to a user by the name of "Coran". Since then many imitations have come up such as, "American-Bot", a similar program. But American-Bot was a modified client rather than Autorune, which was more of a compiler.

History of Autorune

After Jagex discovered the use of Autorune they implemented some changes to Runescape, such as adding fatigue, which required the player to find a bed or use his sleeping-bag to rest. When you rested you saw a screen which required you to enter a random series of characters. This stopped Autorune cheating for awhile until Sleepwalker, a sort of peer-to-peer add-on, that allowed users to type each other's sleep words.

Bannings

On December 13, 2002, Jagex implemented a small piece of coding to the actual Runescape client, which caused the client to send a useless command to the server after 45 clicks on any intractable object. Autorune didnt send that command to it was easy for Jagex to distinguish who was using the illegal-program. This created a shock for the cheating communities. After this unfortunate event there was a silence throughout all of them. <br><br>On April 09, 2003, Autorune was updated ,after a long idle, to send the additional commands that the normal client did.
