AGUINMON979 HAS ALLOWED ME TO RECREATE THIS THREAD ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~ANCIENT BUGS LIST~ INTRODUCTION: This is a list made by the people who are willing to sacrifice knowledge they know about RS glitches from the past and recent. THE LIST OF BUGS: I plan to make a list of bugs I know that have happened in the past, if you would like to post something I forgot please do so, if you happen to have any pictures, please post them. MAJOR BUGS ~Falador Massacre~ On June 6, 2006, 6/6/06, a bug was discovered with the newly released player owned houses. In world 111, a player whose name is Durial was at a house party. This person's house party was the first person to reach 99 construction, and his name was Cursed You. So Durial was fighting a player, when Cursed You kicked everybody out of his house. Durial and some other players had to ability to kill anyone in the Runescape world outside the wilderness. So dozens of people were killed in Falador, there was a huge crowd following Durial. The group of player killers received many rares and items in all worth billions of gp. It lasted throughout the day, while moderators were yelling "Bank your valuables!!" It was Armageddon. People were being slaughtered and the worst part was they couldn't fight back. Finally, a mod with at least some brain decided to kick the team, and Jagex locked their accounts. Billions and Billions of gp was lost during that day. ~The Great Party Hat Dupe~ In Runescape Classic, a group of people downloaded a cheat to Runescape that let them duplicate any items nonstackable, such as party hats, Christmas crackers, and dragon square shields. The economy was balanced out that day as thousands of Christmas crackers and pink party hats came in to the economy. Stuff like dragon squares and helms was also duped. Jagex offered a reward which was lifetime membership to whoever told them who did it. The starter of the duped told Jagex he did it, in hope for lifetime membership. A reward it was, the reward of all the earth, a permanent IP ban. MEDIUM BUGS ~Glory Dupe~ When construction was first released there was a duping glitch with the glory on the wall function. A very famous player who used to hold the #2 spot took advantage of this glitch by getting around 1.5K glories. by lemeja123 ~Walking on water~ In early 2007 a glitch was caused in Catherby on world 82. From Catherby beach to water Obelisk Island, a invisible path opened up, so players could walk across the water to water obelisk island. Big riot there, and even the Wise Old Man showed up to see what was happening! ~Instant-Death~ A few week prior to the Falador massacre, player standing in random spaces such as Falador square, the gargoyles, and outside of tears of Guthix would randomly die from a "one-hit", Jagex rectified this bug quickly and pointed out although it was extremely nasty, it was not new, and only happened in some circumstances. The only reason it took so many people that day was because the discovery of the bug left to a lot of people trying to test it. Credit to Bobbington2 ~Sleeping cap lure~ Pre wilderness ditch players worked out how to lure players into the wilderness using the emote on the sleeping cap, standing near the entrance to the wilderness, a player would ask another to follow them. they would then trigger the special emote and then click inside the wilderness. The player would not move till the emote had finished but after it had the lurer and the victim would both appear in the wilderness skipping the warning screen. Again, credit to Bobbington2 ~The great deleted item!~ On the release day or the achievement diaries a temporary sticky was posted in the recent updates forum to calm people down after another nasty bug. Although I am unsure or the circumstances it was possible for stackable items to randomly disappear from a players inventory, most of the cases I heard of where related to cash, seeds, and pieces or eight. Once again, credit goes to Bobbington2 ~Tea, tea, beautiful tea~ A bug from 2006 made it so whenever you drank Guthix Rest tea it would restore your hp and stats to full. This bug was heavily abused in places like KQ, KBD, Jad, and Chaos Elemental. Players would stock up on tea, then go out to fight these bosses. When their hp got very low, they drank the tea, then they were full on hp and everything again. Jagex later removed it in a weekly update. ~Jad invites his brother over to dinner~ There was a bug in which a player having killer the level 702 jad where faced with him respawning a few seconds later killing the player, this stopped many people from collecting their fire cape; Credit to Bobbington2, yo. ~A Powerful Knife~ In Runescape classic there was a bug with the commonly known knife. Players found a way to wield it as a weapon hitting 57. It was used a lot in player killing, a player is walking through the wilderness. Then all of a sudden a group of people wielding knives come and own you hitting 57s on you. ~Who let the imps out?~ Near when castle wars came out a bug happened where players could actually walk around Runescape as sheep, animals or rabbits, because they glitched themselves out of the waiting rooms. In the wilderness, it was highly abused. You would see a bunny, cool a bunny, and you would ignore it. All of a sudden this bunny hits dds specials on you and whip specials. Lol, funny. Credit to trevor922233 ~Range Darts bug~ I think early 2007, or may have been late '06 a bug after an update where the more knives you wielded (range knives) the bigger your range bonus, so if you wielded 1 and the range bonus was +8 wielding 8 would make it + 64 and so on, this led to people wielding 20k knives and having mental range bonuses resulting in them always hitting their max hit, players took advantage of this in the duel arena and the wilderness. it was rectified soon after. Credit to tomdavies90 ~Prequel to A Wall No Longer~ How it happened was you opened a door and it'd cover the wall, nothing major here right? However when you closed the door the game saw it as an empty space. Lets just say I had a lot of fun that day and a mod couldn't stop me as I was doing nothing wrong in Jagex's view of bug abuse. Credit to sworddude198 and nicrune008 ~The Power of Vengeance~ This bug was where a person would use Vengeance, and instead of recoiling 75% of the damage that you had recently received, you recoiled 750%. Many people were using this bug to k0 the KQ, KBD, and Chaos Elemental. This bug was just a misplace of the decimal by Jagex. Credit to scruffy009 ~Player Mirage~ If many, MANY (50+) players) were standing in one single spot, and something (NPC or player) also in the spot died, it would trigger another NPC or player to look like it was about to die, and stay in the same spot. It would point toward where it was going. It would, however, be able to move, and even attack. To everybody (besides itself) it would look like a guy was just rotating whilst on the ground. So you see this guy laying on the ground in the wild, and he starts to point towards you. You then get attacked, and you can't find out what's attacking you! Doing anything besides moving, attacking, or any interaction between a player or npc would set the player/NPC back to normal. ~Walls of Air~ In Varrock sewers where the moss giants are, at the bigger of the 2 rooms, you could actually walk through the dungeon wall and into the black spaces. You could walk all the way to members area. ~by nicrune008 SMALL BUGS ~The Warriors guild~ When the Warriors guild was released everybody ran up to Burthope to see it! however one small mistake was made... they forgot to upload the guild! when players got there they found an empty space, the game was rebooted again a few minutes later. Credit to bobbington2 ~The Ardougne Half house ~ Just before the release of construction, there was a game update that had an odd side effect. half of the servants guild in Ardougne was uploaded in the game, there was a roof on the floor, and only one outside wall. It was removed in a system update a few days later. Thanks to bobbington2 ~A crystal clear problem~ How it went was that you could alchemy them for more than you buy them from the elf, you had to alchemy in F2P though. I remember reading this somewhere on Tip It forums. Credit to sworddude198 ~A wall no longer~ Right after the big Varrock update, a lot was changed, new look, new museum, and something not so new Jagex screwing up! The house right across from the museum was cluttered with people, you could walk through the south west wall! ~Ali Morissane never gets his carpets straight~ A bug happened recently where a player actually flew through world 2 Falador on the carpet in the desert... had a big crowd following him with wanna-be moderators. ~The magical moving chair~ A bug that Jagex hasn't fixed where you would do a series of performances, and then you could walk around in the chair. You would instead of walking, sit in your chair and magically move around. Credit to trevor92223 ~Keg out of Guild~ When the Warriors' Guild was released, you could go to the keg-balancing room and then walk out of the room with a keg balanced on your head. You then exited via the heavy metal door and once you were outside, the keg disappeared, but your character started moving from side to side. (It looked as if your character was drunk.) by Serephurus F2p Duel Arena There's a bug at the duel arena where if you stand in the Northwest corner of it, and then switch to an f2p world, you'll be in the same spot even though it's a member spot. by Tcbskater ~Be a Banker!~ During the Edgeville update, they resized the bank. If you were in a certain spot, when you logged in, you appearing inside of the bank area with the bankers. The only way you could get out was if you teleported. Also, you cannot do this if you were not caught inside during the update. by guthix121 More coming soon!
