I've alredy posted this brief history somewhere 12 hours ago. The party hats becam very rare and valuble because few people got them to start with then some people who hjad them quits, or people died with them in inventory. Then some people figured out how to duplicate the hats. It almost ruined the runescape economy. Also people started paying real money for hats that were duped and then jagex deleted all non genuine hats. Thats the reason that Jagex implamented the new holiday item system. questions?
