[anchor=3]-[/anchor][size="5"]Famous Stakers[/size]

During the time when the Duel Arena was functional, there were many extremely rich stakers. Some staked until the last PHat/rare they had in the hopes of coming back, but were cleaned instead. Most wanted to profit from all the richness they had by selling for real life cash. Eventually Jagex catched them. Some were able to sell a lot more than others.

1. The beta phase lasted from December 1, 2003 to March 29, 2004. It was for members only until March 17, 2004 when it became free-for-all (source).
2. The Wilderness was removed on December 10, 2007 after being ingame for 6 years and four months.
3. Soon after the Wilderness was removed, lurers were looking for a way to make cash off other players. They found a way: the victim would be fighting in a combat ring. The lurers would poison the victim. When the victim was very low HP and poised, the owner would expel him. Thus he would appear outside, and die due to poison. The victims would only keep 3 items, and loose the rest.
4. Early in the beta, there was no ability to run
5. "Weight" was intended to work like fatigue did in RS1
6. Early screenshots of Runescape 2 had "fatigue" in the skills tab
7. Since everything done in beta would be rolled back, rich players dropped rares.
8. During the beta, Jagex Moderators did not have their gold crowns ingame as they do today
9. After and during the beta, players could attack, kill, and receive the loot of a JMod. The ability to attack a JMod was later removed.
10. There was no report abuse function during the beta.
11. You were able to trade, and receive, items from JMods during the beta.
12. The first player to hit 100 (without the x10) was Golvellius07 (picture)

[anchor=2]-[/anchor][size="5"]The Beta Phase[/size]
Jagex had been hinting of a "3-D update" ever since August 2002. Initially the project was not intended to be a completely new version of Runescape but a simple update to the classic engine. However, as time went on, Andrew decided to completely rewrite the game engine. Thus creating a new version of Runescape (aka RS2).

Throughout 2003, Jagex released information of how the progress was going as well as screenshots. On October 1, 2003, an official date for the RS2 beta was announced - it was to be held on December 1, 2003 for members only. After months of testing, the beta ended on March 29, 2004. That same day, Runescape 2 was officially launched and the Runecrafting skill released.

Throughout these 4 months, the game changed so much that it's impossible to keep track of. A lot of cool stuff happened in these months, many of which have been forgotten about or no-one ever knew. All pictures have been reduced in size in order to fit into this topic. Click the links to view their full size. Here they are, enjoy!




[color="#4169E1"]Click spoiler for more beta pictures[/color]
[spoiler]
Picture 1: This is the first *ever* picture of Runescape 2 released by Jagex on October 18, 2002.
Picture 2: Official Jagex screenshot released weeks before the beta. Take note the the "Weight" stats!
Picture 3: A player during the beta at "the castle". If you notice, "Fatigue" was originally intended to be incorporated into RS2.
Picture 4: Official Jagex screenshot. Runecrafting is missing. Total level, QP, ect were in different places than when the beta began.
Picture 5: The right click during the beta (and some months afer) was a little weird as you can see.
Picture 6: Since everything was temporary in the beta, and there would be a rollback (to that of what players had in RS1), many had drop parties. You can also notice that the RS font changed throughout the beta.
Picture 7: The original way "Varrock bank" looked. There was only one "side.".

[anchor=7]-[/anchor][size="5"]Bugs & Glitches[/size]

There have been thousands of glitches and hundreds of bugs throughout RS2's history. Since it is impossible to "get them all", these are the ones which are the considered the more famous - as well as those that I consider interesting.

[size="3"]6/6/06 Massacre[/size]
[spoiler]Construction was the first skill released in years! The thought of being able to build your very own house was very exciting back then. The idea of POHs (player owned houses) had been floating around ever since Runescape Classic. Planks went from being worthless to 10k each. You can imagine all the excitement going on .

On June 6, 2006 (6/6/06), Cursed You was celebrating being the first player to 99 Construction by having a huge house party. He posted on many forums. Hundreds and hundreds of players attended - a JMod was even reported to have showed up at the beginning of the party. Players were exploring, killing monsters, and going about their business. Many brought their valuable items to the party

Down in the dungeon, there was a boxing ring and some dragons on the ends. Players were killing each other inside the combat ring. When you died, you would spawn right outside the ring and had the option to go back in. Durial321 among other players were inside the combat ring when Cursed You expelled everyone from the house after becoming restless with his guests. Everyone spawned right outside the portal.

Even after being expelled, Durial and those within the combat ring had the ability to attack anyone anywhere regardless of their combat level. Thus, the famous massacre began. Durial first attacked those outside the portal and afterwards headed to Falador and finally to Edgeville - where Mod Murdoch was waiting for him. The JMod disconnected & banned him and the other out-of-bounds PKers. The whole killing chaos lasted about two hours beginning to end.

These are the pictures of the massacre. Believe me, they are very hard to find.


[/spoiler]
[size="3"]Penguin Hide & Seek Bug[/size]
[spoiler]This bug occurred on January 28, 2009 in World 60. Players were able to repeatably spy on a penguin, thus gaining an infinite amount of points which were then exchanged for experience. Those who had more than 250 points were permanently banned (159 players).


[/spoiler]
[size="3"]Noclipping Glitch[/size]
[spoiler]In early July 2008, a small group of players discovered a way to "noclip". That is to be able to walk through walls and objects. The bug involved the minigame Fishing Trawler. This small group of players were able to keep the bug to themselves until about September where other glitches found out of its existence. It was patched mid November 2008. During its existance, the bug was used to go to many inaccessible places (Prifddinas, Tutorial Island, ect).


[/spoiler]
[size="3"]µ Disconnecting Glitch[/size]
[spoiler]Basically if you typed µ (Alt 0181) into RuneScape, everyone who could view it would be kicked off the world. This would wok through public chat, private chat, clan chat or pretty much anything. The only way to avoid it was to go chat off.

[/spoiler]
[size="3"]Fight Pits Massacre[/size]
[spoiler]The Fight Pits Massacre occurred on May 13th, 2008, the same day Tzhaar's graphics were updated. This bug allowed you to attack people in the waiting room from the minigame and could loot their items. It was patched a few hours after the release of the new Tzhaar graphics.

[size="3"]Other Random Bugs & Glitches[/size]
[spoiler]This will contain the random & small bugs, glitches.

-When RS2 came out, there was a glitch when stringing bows only gave half their experience.
-The day specials were released, there was a bug where you could one hit any NPC using the MSB special.
-There was a range bug in which arrows didn't disappear, which meant that you were pretty much set with 20 rune arrows, so long as you retrieved them before someone else stole them.
-There was a bug in which if you wielded rune javs while having arrows equipped, you would always hit your max with javs.[/spoiler]

Pker Tdm: the richest player in Runescape. He will probably will always be the richest player in RS due to the sheer amount of Christmas Crackers he has.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znVPm3DOVok[/youtube]
A Christmas Cracker being pulled in recent times! It seems like Jagex removed the 50/50 chance. The player with the cracker received a Red Partyhat and a Silver Bar (the random item) while the player the cracker was cracked on received nothing. Sadly, this was a hacked account.
