Once you switch to a Jagex account, you can only ever use the first-party launcher to log in, even with Runelite. You can't switch back. Switching to a Jagex account will eventually become mandatory, and at some point they will kill off Runelite too in favor of the C++ client.

Oh man, yeah that really sucks. Jagex needs to sort that out.

But no way will they kill Runelite, surely. The community would flip out worse than anything Jagex has seen!

They would. I don't think they'll kill it for a while yet, but the C++ client was always intended to eventually replace Runelite. Which is a bummer for all the community plugins that won't ever exist in the C++ client (including one I wrote to make notifications useful on non-Windows platforms), but not as much of a bummer as when the launcher inevitably stops working in WINE.
