The project began on 20 January 2010 and was launched on 25 May 2010, originally only being available to Windows users. An unofficial GUI client was eventually developed to work with macOS by taking the jar file from the Windows client and wrapping it in the standard macOS Application Bundle. Jagex later placed its imprimatur on the unofficial macOS client by making it available in the download section of the Runescape website. As of 5 August 2015, the latest release is version 1.2.7.
This is most likely to do with a personal firewall which is blocking the Client from accessing the internet. Users will have to allow the program ("runescape.exe" or "JagexLauncher.exe" for Windows users, and "RuneScape.app" for Mac users) access to the internet in order for it to work. If that doesn't work, try changing the world the client connects to or use a VPN.

You could also get the client to be installed by downloading the program Wine and using it to install the client. (confirmed for Debian Squid, and it also works out-of-the-box on Linux Mint 12 with Cinnamon, though not with XFCE4 (and maybe some other DE's). More confirmation needed)
It is possible to install a version of Java specially for the game client, so that it doesn't need to change the Java used by other applications on the operating system. This can be done for example by downloading and installing the Oracle Java packages without using the OS package manager. It can then be installed in its own directory, for example /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_13/, and then for the simple script above, the final "run the client" line the following would be used instead of just "java":
For some reason Firefox does not Support Java Plug-ins anymore. I have been reading up on this for about an hour. Everytime i try to load the webpage, it directs me to download the OS client instead of playing on the browser. First time this has happend, was working great last night. Java is just no longer supported as a plug-in. If you can help me i would greatly appreciate it. 2ff7e9595c
