Protect Item Riot



The Protect Item Riot started after the PvP World Changes update on 15 July 2009, which detailed how any player entering a PvP world would be immediately skulled regardless of whether they have attacked a player or not. The updated angered many PKers, particularly ones who frequently used the 26k trick, a way to artificially increase drop potential in PvP worlds. This riot is noticeably smaller than any previous riot and also changes worlds frequently, presumably to get their opinions heard. It has been so far spotted on World 2, World 23, World 67, and World 107, disappearing and then reappearing sporadically on different worlds. Mod Gerard was reported to have been seen in World 23 towards the start of the riots, but this is so far unconfirmed.
