14 hour riot

The 14 hour riot was a major protest against Jagex that occurred in World 28 in Falador on February 24, 2007. According to several of the RuneScape forums, rumor has it that a player who goes by the name of Elvemage, was muted for 'luring' a player. It is not known at this time where the player was lured to, but it most likely was within the wilderness. Another rumor is that Elvemage said "Mods should burn in hell" when a mod was present and which got him muted immediately. Thus, a riot broke out at Falador due to this, and several people were muted because of this. The players, and maybe some of the moderators, were protesting that permanent bans and mutes were unfair, and some of the players were yelling, "Ban the bans!". The riot was spam for most of time with the majority of the players yelling things like "Save elvemage" and for some unknown reason "Save the hippos!". A few players started an "Anti-Riot" in the White Knights' Castle square, and protested against the riot during the riot. The "Anti-Riot" had minimal effect. The riot eventually went away after 14 hours.
