I go over Runescape's 1st game client: swift switch. This video encompasses the start of swiftswitch, a bit about the controversy, the player riots over swiftswitch, and the transition into swiftkit. I also go into where the client is now and where the owner is now. I hope you guys enjoy, and as always I thank y'all for watching!
