Aftermath of the Bounty Hunter update

The Aftermath of the Bounty Hunter update was one of the most important events in RuneScape history.

Update
On December 10, 2007 Jagex updated RuneScape with the new Bounty Hunter and Clan War mini-games. During this event Jagex removed the ability to attack players from the wilderness area, replacing it with ghosts instead. Some speculate that the constant rants about Abyssal Player killers was the motivation for this update.

Ensuing reaction
Reaction from the pking community was instantaneous. Pkers began filling up the rants forum with pro-pking and anti-bounty hunter threads. Whist on the compliments forum runecrafters complimented JaGex on putting an end to Abyssal pking. Other groups such as runite ore miners and whiteberry pickers also showed their approval towards the update.
