Not if you are on a Quick Chat world, that means it is strictly quick chat only, other worlds will have quick chat and you can use free chat as well.
You cannot use free chat unless you are 13. I tryed but i had to wait. On your birthday it will atomatically make it so you can use free chat.
By default, Jagex should let anyone use free chat, but there are certain worlds that are Quick chat only. Chances are you were on one of them, try changing worlds and looking at the list closely to seeing weather it's quick chat or not, you want one without quick chat.
You can sign up for free on the RuneScape website. You have to be at least 13 years old to use all features. Otherwise, you won't be able to use normal chat with other players, only "quick chat" (chat using predefined options).
Log out of that Quick Chat world or, if that's not the problem...Turn 13. It won't let you use Free Chat if you are 12 years and 364 (365 if you turn 13 on a leap year) and under.
Pressing enter and using the search option may be an easier way of using the Quick-Chats for new users. otherwise there may be a guide if you search the runescape knowledge base. free chat not quick chat how do you use free chat.[pswolfer8] they updated it now theres free chat but you have to make a new accouunt my lvl 81 with fulll dragon and 18mil got stolen from me !!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you seee him try to convince him to give em my password abck his anme is penguins ahh
You can be as old as you like to go on runescape but if you're under 13 then you will have to use quick chat.
You are not actually restricted to use Quick Chat (QC), you are probably just on a Quick Chat Only World. Either that or Jagex have Included a Quick Chat Only Ban in the New Update in August 2011. Source(s) Knowledge with my combat level 138 RuneScape character.
Lol...... just put a fake ages so you can use the chat.
Im in a free chat world, over thirteen and everythings turned on. Please help!
RuneScape is intended for people of at least 13 years of age, but you don't have to be 13 to play; you just won't be able to chat freely and will have to use the Quick Chat feature.
Go on any other world other than a quick chat world.Note: If you are under 13 ( when you registered ) you can't use chat until you are 13.
The reason you get muted in RuneScape is because if you get reported for offensive language use the Jagex mods/staff mute you for a number of days and you can only use quick chat.
