I remember way back when, when Runescape was still a thing and I was still fond of it, There was an incident known as the Falador Massacre. But first a little background context; There was new skill introduced into the game a little while before the incident, known as construction. It allowed for players to create houses within their own little pocket dimensions. Within them, you could create an array of furniture and accessories. The only part of construction that is relevant to the story, is the boxing ring. It allowed for those inside to fight one another. Now what happened was this, one player managed to reach level 99 construction (The highest level), and to celebrate, threw a party in his home. Eventually there was too much a strain on the number of people joining the server. It evicted all of them from the teleporter in a town known as falador where they had entered. Though those who were in the boxing ring, retained their aggro potential. Normally players can only attack each other in the wild (an area to the north), but this glitch held an exception. What followed was a massacre across the whole town, as many who were involved were high level players. They easily wiped everyone out, and spread across Runescape wreaking havok, including going to Lumbridge (Runescape's spawn point) and repeatedly killing players over and over. In all I think it lasted an hour or two before moderators got involved, but by then there was so much that was lost. A lot of people were banned that day.
Happy Birthday Ross,
Have a good one.
