Temporary lack of penguins

An announcement for all you penguin hunters out there:

 

 

 

29-Jan-2009 03:14:25

 

Following a problem with the Penguin Hide & Seek minigame, we've temporarily removed the penguins from the world. I'm afraid you therefore won't be able to spy on them for a while.

 

 

 

I'm hoping they'll be back in a day or two so that you can once more get your fill of penguin-spotting action; in the meantime, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Apparently there was a glitch with the penguins this week causing them to give more points than normal.

Heres me hoping they reset that xp so can claim again. I didnt notice any extra xp when I claimed so its some other bug people doing I guess. Maybe letting people do again..again.

 

 

 

Lol I would loved seen the clan chats when they all disappeared at once and everyone whining for locations.

Can someone please explain what the glitch was? No one seems to be saying what it is? I think it would be interesting to hear about it, especially if it were something accidental that others could be told to avoid.

 

 

 

I heard that people were getting 99 skills from it...I would be really mad if they were somehow allowed to keep those stats.

It was just that there was 1 peng that you could keep spying on and get unlimited amount of points to trade in.

 

 

 

and yes, those people better get banned -.-

I still don't understand...the points could accumulate over 50 so people were trading in 100s of points or something? Isn't there a 50 point cap so even if you re-spied that penguin, the max would be 50 points, right? Or could you trade in multiple times?

You're "sickened" over player's over the internet, you really need to review your priorities in life.

 

 

 

I'm sickend over the fact that people hope for and look forward to these kind of glitches that make it unfair for fair players.

From what I've been able to learn people were able to spy multiple times on a penguin in the ardy area on World 60. Then they would go to Larry redeem points , return to spying on the penguin and repeating said process. Thus causing JaGeX to temporarily remove the penguins.

Isn't there a one trade-in per week limit? If not, I could have been using my points more wisely all along?

well you could never choose how many points you wanted to trade in (you always traded all of them in). So Jagex never set how many trade in's per week you could do...so these people could keep getting points and trading them in.

You can store up to 50 points, and can only earn a maximum of 15 per week.

the glitch was you could get unlimited points on the penguin in ardy zoo. i was there, couldn't abuse the bug though, i tried :lol: .

 

i saw someone go from combat lvl 99-105 in a matter of minutes. there were several people who got to 99, one 99 agility, 99 prayer, 99 summoning, etc. my friend who told me about the glitch got 81-96 summoning then logged out when it was getting too crowded because he didn't wanna get banned.

 

 

 

then a mod tele'd the penguin away lol

N-no penguins! GRAAAAAAGH!! I'm going through withdrawal!!! They're forcing me to go cold penguin!!!! I... I can't take it.

 

 

 

Collapses to the ground, foaming at the mouth, minor muscles twitching, and limbs flailing erratically.

If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system.

 

Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.

The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."

The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest?

Are you [bleep]ing kidding me?

 

 

 

Why the hell do you even play this game if you don't care that others cheat their way to levels while you take the hard route. People who cheat at ANYTHING need to face serious consequences. :roll:
