Broadcasts
Broadcasts (also known as the News Feed or Broadcast Announcements) are a feature that allows certain news as well as player accomplishments to be displayed to all other players in the Chatbox. Certain messages are only broadcast across the server on which the player is logged in while others are displayed across every server. Any achievement is displayed to the player's friends and members of their clan. Messages that are server-specific are displayed in orange, worldwide messages in red, and messages to friends and clan members in green. Game announcements will appear in yellow. Jagex Moderators have the ability to send special, global announcements.
A player's achievements are only displayed to everyone if they have their private chat set to on; they are displayed to any friend so long as their private was not set to off. These broadcasts can be turned off by setting your private chat, online status, and game announcements to off.
Players have the option to toggle these announcements on or off in their chatbox. Originally, achievements were filtered with the rest of the game messages; now, only the game announcements are filtered this way.
