Login server



A Login server is one of the 8 servers available in RuneScape that verify that a player is valid and active, and not logged in elsewhere, after entering a username and password.

The login screen appears as the player prepares to log in. The Username and Password is sent to one of the login servers for verification before allowing the player to play the game on a game server.

During login sever maintenance there will be a 12.5% chance that a player would not be able to sign on. Assignments to which login server is random. If there are mulitple accounts using one IP address, some accounts from that IP address may be able to log in, and others may not be able to.

Trivia



 * The images of flames depicted on the old login screen (before the login screen update) are known as the flames of Lloigh-enn that are said to "require a spell recited most precisely, that is different for each individual who wishes to pass through." "Lloigh-enn" is based on "log in" and the "spell" recited is the player's password.
 * The login screen sometimes shows NPCs walking outside their normal areas (e.g. Zaff walking around Varrock square).
 * There is a glitch that may occur during the loading of the login screen, depicting a squashed version of things like overhead prayers and hitsplats
