RU_Insane Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 What's the strangest thing you've encountered in RuneScape? I've had quite a few, but one that bogs my mind to this day happened back in June 2006. No, it's not the Falador Massacre. I was in an F2P world (probably 153) and and my main was level 50 something combat. I was walking around Varrock, just admiring the place, and some guy with a monkey gree-gree (I didn't know what it was at the time) runs into Varrock Square. At first I thought it was odd by itself. I'm thinking, "what strange mask is that guy wearing?". But I wasn't prepared for what came next. Keep in mind this is an F2P world. This guy activated his gree-gree, (I think) and the entire Varrock area I was in turned into something that [cabbage] resembled Karamja. There were many other players with me at the time and they were freaking out, man. Monkeys appeared out of nowhere and they were hanging from the palm trees that just popped out of the ground! They were sitting in the market stalls and running around! I talked to a monkey and he went all "ook ook" right? I honestly do not know how he did this, especially on an F2P world. Monkey gree-gree is members. How did he do it? I don't know. Anyway, this entire event must have lasted a couple minutes at most, but it felt longer. People were following around the guy that did this, as was I. They kept asking him "How did you do that", "what did you do", and so forth. After what seemed like a few minutes, but was apparently only a couple dozen seconds, the Varrock Square area returned to normal. I didn't know how to take screenshots at the time, so I don't have any photos of this event, nor any video, unfortunately. The perpetrator teleported, but I managed to track him down and talk to him. Being the stupid 11/12 year old I was at the time, I told him I was the Dragon Lord of Darkness, lol. I thought I'd scare him doing this >_< We talked for a good while, and he seemed like a cool guy. He logged off shortly after. I added him to my friends list, but I took him off after a while. I regret doing that, because now I forget what the guy's name was. :( I don't have video, I don't have screen-shots, and I don't even have the guy's name. But I have my memory, and I know what I saw. I didn't get members till 2010, so this wasn't in a member's world. It wasn't a private sever, it was the actual game. I tried looking for this obvious glitch in RuneScape Wiki, thinking someone else who was there at the time would have documented it, and there was entry about a monkey gree-gree glitch which took place in June 2007, but on a members' world. The circumstances described were similar, though. He transformed a suburban/commercial area into a tropical one. Maybe it was the same guy? I looked again today, and I couldn't find any entry about that glitch. The only entry related to a monkey gree-gree glitch concerns stretching of one's character when an easter ring + monkey gree-gree is equipped shortly after. So there's my story. I seem to be the only one (besides the others who were at Varrock Square at the time) who can recall this event. It's a bit of an alienating experience, knowing you saw something unique, but no one else can corroborate the story for you, like those people who claim to have seen UFOs. (No pun intended). I've witnessed three other glitches that are notable, but not on the same level of what I saw on that day. I met a guy who turned himself invisible (he claimed he had no idea how he did it). I saw someone crawl around on the ground with their legs (ala-sled formation), and I took a screen-shot of that one: Taken 31st of July 2010. Sorry for the sucky cropping. >.> You can see her odd position though. I also saw someone's head bob around like crazy. It swung back and forth like a slingshot, very rapidly, it was like a bobble-head. I didn't take a screen-shot of that one. Heh, now I feel like I need to relieve all of my wacky RS memories! :P I'll add additional ones as I recall more. So what's the strangest thing (or, if you have a list, strangest things) you've seen in RuneScape? RIP RU_Insane. August 3rd, 2005 - November 11th, 2012.

essiw Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The event you describe is not even possible, try harder next time ;) http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

RU_Insane Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 The event you describe is not even possible, try harder next time ;) I knew this reaction would come, and no, I'm not trolling. I'm telling you, I have no idea how he did it either. All I know is that it happened, as absurd as it sounds. Aside from that, I listed three other events I've witnessed that can be explained. Why don't you comment on those, or at least add your own story to prevent from derailing the thread, hmm? RIP RU_Insane. August 3rd, 2005 - November 11th, 2012.

JeRambo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 i think you had one too many m8! "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

essiw Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, it just is not possible technically to create something like that, it is only possible to create such things at your own screen (like making a Jad appear in GE), but no-one else would see it. It just ain't possible.About the other glitches those are more normal ones, I have seen people removing heads etc. And the only thing I found remarkable was the infinity boots glitch, they would stick to the ground (and of cores still to your feet) when you were running (making some sort of elastic effect) http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

I've never glitched my boots, but I've seen people stretch their skin. i think you had one too many m8! I was 12 y/o at the time. Why would I drink :P RIP RU_Insane.

Cool :) When a classmate told me that houses came out on RuneScape, I didn't believe him at first because it seemed too modern for me. Then I learned of the massacre. .>_> RIP RU_Insane.

Kirschen Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Of course, it isn't a direct ingame experience, but I ended up having my internet fried for a few days. Once I was able to get back on my internet, I learned of the incident. It sounds weird, but I seem to end up having my internet act up on me a day or two prior to some massive glitch/tragedy/mess. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruhx Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I believe you about the Varrock/Karamja thing. One time, I walked on the river in Edgeville. You could for a longgggg time. No one ever realized it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU_Insane Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Monkey form freewalk isnt all that strange. In the time period you said it occured is also plausable (though it can still be done today) My strangest RS experience was a random add by a Jmod. Mod Drew: Hey thereMe: Hey thereMe: Anything I can help you with?Mod Drew: Haha I just recieved updated information all resolvedMod Drew: Sorry to bother youMod Drew has logged out I took a picture of it but i dont feel like uploading here I knew I wasn't crazy. And haha, that's weird. I wonder what "updated information" he was talking about. Maybe he was spying on you? O_O I believe you about the Varrock/Karamja thing. One time, I walked on the river in Edgeville. You could for a longgggg time. No one ever realized it though. Thanks <3 I didn't realize you could walk on it either. I suppose Jagex patched that up by now. D: RIP RU_Insane. August 3rd, 2005 - November 11th, 2012.

spooferfish Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Back in rsc, I logged in just after an update. I go into the bank, click the banker and tell him I'd like to access my bank account. He says ok, then nothing happens. I go to click on him again, he transforms into a scorpion, then a few other wild creatures, then the server went down for a bug fix.

Saradomin_Mage Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Lagging hard on RSC. Laglaglaglag Connection lost - please wait attempting to re-establish... SUDDENLY all the ground has been turned to water, and all the NPCs are missing their bodies and are just sets of floating heads. What? Log out, maybe that'll solve the problem. Too bad, the login screen scenery has turned to water too :P Had to reload the game (goodbye 5 minutes of play time T_T) before it got fixed. Logging in for the first time was my strangest experience.I remember on my first ever load up, I saw the Jagex logo and was like "Whoa ! Cool !" (I had played their Jagex Castle minigames before - RIP Battle Thingz) In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

RU_Insane Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 i logged in one day and i was invisible :) Nice, haha. That's similar to what happened to someone I met, except he randomly turned invisible when he went near the Draynor jail. :mellow: RIP RU_Insane. August 3rd, 2005 - November 11th, 2012.
