Rune Adventure · last updated 2 September 2026

Rune Adventure is a browser game. It needs an account so your character survives between visits, and it needs to show other players your name so the world has people in it. That is the whole of why anything is stored.

What is stored

• The username you choose. It does not have to be your real name, and nothing checks. Other players see it.
• Your password, as a scrypt hash with a salt unique to your account. The password itself is never written down and cannot be recovered from what is stored — not by us either.
• Your characters and their progress — level, gear, inventory, quests, guild, where they are standing.
• Chat you send. Only the most recent few hundred messages across the whole game are kept; older ones fall off and are gone.
• A session cookie, so you stay signed in. It holds a random token and nothing else.
• Your Discord ID, but only if you choose to link a Discord account.

What is not stored

• No email address. None is asked for. This does mean that if you forget your password there is no way to send you a reset — that is the trade.
• No IP addresses. Your address is used for a few seconds to rate-limit sign-in attempts and is held in memory only. It is never written to disk and does not survive a restart.
• No advertising identifiers, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party scripts. The game loads nothing from anywhere but its own server.
• No payment details. There is nothing to pay for.
• No location, contacts, photos, files, or anything else from your device.

Who it is shared with

Nobody. There are no analytics providers, no ad networks and no data brokers involved.

The one exception is the optional Discord integration: if the server operator has connected a Discord server, some in-game chat is relayed to a channel there, and your character name goes with it. Anything you type in a relayed channel is visible to that Discord server's members and to Discord itself. If you would rather not be relayed, do not use global chat.

Deleting everything

It happens immediately, and it is not reversible. Characters, items, bank, guild membership, critters and your login all go.

Two things are deliberately kept, and neither can be traced back to you:

• Chat lines stay, with your name replaced by [deleted]. Other people are in those conversations and did not ask for their half of them to stop making sense.
• Moderation records stay, with the name and the account identifier removed. What is left is a count of what happened attached to no one.

If you led a guild, it is handed to whoever has been in it longest rather than being destroyed. If you were the only member, it goes with you.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13 and is not intended for them. It has open chat with other players.

Changes

If this changes, the date at the top changes with it. There is no mailing list to notify, because there are no email addresses.
