Did you notice the NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) in the Runescape 3 HTML5 Beta Test Code of RS Gold
? With this, players need to refrain themselves from posting any images or videos regarding the HTML5 beta, as your account could be subjected to punishment as well as further copyright infringement.Reminder on the NDA and Jagex’s ExplanationMod Crow has explained why the NDA is in place: A Non Disclosure Agreement is common and necessary for any kind of closed beta. You're working with an unfinished product to help playtest the content and identify key areas of feedback.
It's not an early access pass to the final product and you will no doubt encounter bugs and performance issues (All of which we aim to fix for the final release).The NDA is to prevent users from showing off unfinished content, therefore giving a false representation of what everyone will expect. So please, don't try and share the details of the beta as you will only be misleading others as to what they can expect when it's live for them.Should There Be a NDA for the RuneScape 3 HTML5 Beta?Players has argued hotly in the forums on whether there should be a NDA for the RuneScape HTML5 beta. Below are some pros and cons with reason presented:Pros:1. I'm surprised too. You were free to post things about the eoc beta.
I wonder why there's a DNA for this beta n not for the EoC one.2. Its weird i might understand for the alpha but for a graphics update beta really?3. Jagex can't possibly expect people to follow this? 'Here's some cool new stuff to play with, but you can't discuss what you like and don't like and how to improve it with your fellow players!' It's absurd.4. I'm surprised. Never known Jagex not to want people to share upcoming things.5. How odd. So no nice pictures for us who can't access it yet.6. What were they thinking they would do with all the members posting on forums, talking in chats, and making Youtube videos?
