    This banner has been reappearing every day, despite ad blocking it. Below is a list of what I find bad about it:
    • The Video - The video is actually of HD RS. It's totally unrelated to Torva.
    • The Stats - The stats are all fake. Torva doesn't have 100% uptime, thousands of players, multiple worlds, and it isn't the #1 leading RSPS.....
    • The Watermark - The only thing which is actually Torva is the logo and the barely visible watermark. It's actually so bad that they've put it at like 5% opacity.
    • The Flashing - The speed at which everything goes (specifically the flashing from white to a much darker color) could potentially cause discomfort to people with epilepsy.


    Unless these are corrected, it's EXTREME false advertising and shouldn't be allowed, regardless of how much they're paying. If they want to make a good game with all of the features they mention, and ACTUALLY USE FOOTAGE of it, then fine. As it is, they're no better than those ridiculous Viagra alternative adverts that you see on torrent clients and such.

    Actually, as Torva is a subsidiary of Soulsplit, it kind of is the #1 RSPS, which is also why they CAN advertise that they have thousands of players (On the Soulsplit network), and as they have multiple worlds, they pretty much are online 24/7. But I agree, the "video" is of a different thing than Torva.

    Stop manually adding advertisements to adblock, here's a quick guide to block banners by a path.

    1) Install Adblock
    2)Go to Adblock Options click on Customize.
    3) Block an ad by it's URL.



    Input http://www.rune-server.org/static/affiliate into the blank box, it will block all images loaded from that path.

    Gif banners shouldn't be allowed in the first place, they're annoying as shit.

    Torva is terrible anyways, I can't see how anyone finds it appealing.

    Here's the thing: no one cares what you found bad on it. They paid for that so it's gonna be that, don't like it? leave, simple.

    In my own opinion.. I think SoulSplit is too greedy..
    They even getting the Ikov community to refund for SS... Its kinda sick... and strange.

    Are you seriously suggesting that Kevy might do something which involves not making as much money?

    Nah, Soulsplit and Torva are separate servers. He's said so himself.

    No it's not. It's a video clip from an RS3 trailer with flashing words that aren't even true. Ikov's was pretty crappy but it didn't lie and was easier to watch.
