Clan Chat Kicking
Early today, I was logged onto Excl's clan chat. People started getting randomly kicked off, myself included eventually. No one was kicking, and Excl, who was logged on, tried reseting the clan chat, but this issue continued (I was kicked after he reset it). I don't know if anyone knows anything about this or what they might want to do with it, just thought I might bring it up just in case. -Sept. 6, 2010

"Junior Cadet"
Me and some fellow runescapers experienced this glitch today a player named Buzzcap93 had a purple tag that said "Junior Cadet" and when trying to add this person it added another totally different member i have screenshots if anyone wants to see --Angreymob 00:53, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Today's
Should today's glitch be added? Those who logged in know what I'm talking about. The log out one. Never mind. 05:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Jagex bans people who do any glitch. They have fixed recently the glitch in which you control the ice emote and the dying on the ramp of the blast furnace. However though... have you ever thought of how many innocent players are banned for glitches? high lvls who waste years on their accounts to be banned for a simple glitch. People made fun of the dungeoneering glitch, not knowing how strict jagex is about this. Jagex knows who does glitches so why not just do a "rollback" like in dungeoneering? why ban them if they play fairly and dont use bots? there is a different from a "glitch" and "hacker/bug" glitch is developer error and players should not be banned for that reason. Jagex is wrong by doing this and imagine the poor players who were 100+ how they feel right now? or the skillers or generally all players. sinceerly your friend -stone_uzer3 feel free to join my cc at any time for discussion.

-Moderator questoining, if you ask any moderator about jagex banning players for glitches they will agree with jagex. they are most likely copying a script of some type. all moderators are not players anymore but more like "jagex slaves" obeying jagex with everything. if a moderator interfeers with your cc, or general discussion, they will override the players so it is prefered to move to a different area or kick em from the cc.

GreeGree + Easter Ring = glitch
Does anyone else remember the greegree & easter ring glitch? I think it should be added.

http://a.imageshack.us/img693/3484/greegreeeasterring.png

You would use the Easter Ring then right-click the GreeGree, once you were a egg weild the GreeGree and you would turn into a weird stretched mutant thing. You could still use the agility course like you were a monkey. via Sedyana & forestdragoness 192.139.30.103 05:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Lady_Noremon Lady Noremon 05:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)lady_noremon

Dragon Armour with Water-Waist Glitch
Can someone please test the water waist glitch while wearing dragon/ THanks, Kyler351

Karajma Fishing Dock to Wizards' Tower
Twice I have been fishing on the Karamja fishing dock and was suddenly transported to the square directly east of Wizard Mizgog in the Wizards' Tower. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? --63.215.28.97 23:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That's where I was after failing the Freaky Forester random. Your character might have ignored a random or something.

Fairy Ring glitch
Today I used the fairy ring to head back to the bank from the desert, as I was heading to the ring located right by the Kalphite dungeon, I accidently clicked on a jackal and attacked it. I then proceeded to transport through the fairy ring and while doing so, I noticed the jackal following me. He followed me all the way into Zanaris. I took a screenshot and plan on uploading to photobucket, as I don't think any admins will allow it to be on this server. As I DK 20:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Why not? As long as you use it in the article space... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  21:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I had noticed that a few of the other "glitch images" were removed from the glitch page. I figured that they were not acceptable due to the rules placed on personal images and whatnot. I'm sure i'm probably wrong but I happen to be one of those people that mark images for speedy deletion and I didn't want to be a culprit either... know what I mean? :) As I DK 21:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The personal use rule is about ... personal use. If it's legitmately in the mainspace, it's not eligible for deletion under personal use rationale. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  21:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I think a JMod confirmed long ago that this isn't a glitch but intentional. Don't worry folks.

Name Glitch
I remember playing a long while back (before RS2) when someone figured out that by using a modified client, they could add spaces in front of their name. One such hacker decided to name himself " Andrew". No one could talk to him since the client would automatically remove the space in front if you tried. Jadex did quickly fix the bug, they prevented further logins, but couldn't kick the player since the moderator's client also lacked the ability to ban players with the illegal name. They eventually had to restart the server to get the player kicked.

Ground Fishing Glitch
When fishing in catherby, the spot closest to bank if you click on the grapple tree near by you will start fishing in the ground. It still works and will end in a bit if u dont go back to water. If you could put that in thanks!

the box glitch
shouldnt the box glitch be mentioned? the one the box noob does?

It's from a member's Quest that you need to take a goblin (Zanik) in the crate (box) and take her in a place. I heard you could die or either let your membership end.

a souls bane glitch
I put up a glitch on where a player managed to sneak anger weapons outside of a souls bane and it got removed. why?

I saw that it got removed because it could've been fake. How can i put it up in a way that doesnt look fake? (it isnt fake)


 * Readded. I'm an idiot. >.<

thanks

it realy isn't fake, you can check on youtube, so can anyone tell me how plz

If it isn't fake, then how did Svew get "=0" over his head without it being in the chatbox? Megakid39 23:56, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

obviously by having chat hidden...?

Ah lol kk, I just recently learned to use the "hide" thing :P and I'm also pretty good at making fake pictures so don't get mad at me for being suspicious ^_^ Talk Megakid39  20:04, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Overkill
This glitch is REAL

Ninja Walk
I've added information about the Ninja Walk glitch, though it may need to be streamlined a bit. 01:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Somethings of note
The small head glitch also happened with the Frog Mask, I know, because I did it (name is Planetcatter), andf what about the house in Lummy that ppl couldnt escape from for a while? I was also in that....

Recent Graphics Update
Did anyone realize a few glitches when the new graphics came out? I saw that the GE would not tell you if the transaction was complete until you clicked on it. I also saw that all full helms, for that day, had red plumes like a Zamorak full helmet, which made me, and my friend with full saradomin, confused. 17:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

There are alot of new glitches with the new HD version, but it's still in Beta. I found alot of glitches, like if you wear a Lederhosen hat your chathead will be very small, only your beard is big. [][] (]:iSpacee :[) [][] 14:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I just recently went bald after doing The Fremennik Trials, I'm not sure if it is relating to HD version. I miss my hair though :( 71.32.91.99 04:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The baldness seems to be related to the silly jester hat, still not fixed by Jagex. Prehaps it should be added to the article?71.35.176.189 00:59, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I've turned bald from a Jester hat, beret and camo hat. These baldness issues certainly have not been fixed yet, so they shouldn't be added. -- 02:38, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * also Ive gone bald from a black wizards hat after doing shadow of the storm --

I have seen balding from gnome goggles and the robin hood hat. Bowler225 03:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I have went bald from an air tiarra if u believe this is not true add me and ask its cool gamer89

I have experienced a glitch that if you have a certain hairstyle and wear some kinds of hats, the hair will go trough the hat, it's so annoying...

The D'hide glitch
It would be nice if somebody could explain what exactly happens with the d'hide glitch. Thanks, 01:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Ardougne Bridge
whats up with the bridge between East and West Ardougne, its..like..transparant.. i can still walk over it but cant see it 21:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Same thing happens with the Castle Wars bridge sometimes.
 * Why are you mentioning it here? -- 19:54, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe this has to do with your graphics settings. I forget whether it was "ground textures" or "ground decorations", but I had both of mine set to "off" and had the same issue. Once I turned them on, the bridges reappeared. --nekobawt 22:54, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Glitches that have not been fixed by Jagex
When did we decide that we would not allow those in the article? What is the point of that? In an edit summary I saw someone say that "We don't want to encourage people to play with bugs." Who cares, if it's something as minor as the moonwalking glitch, or a glitch with an emote? I don't remember having any "dangerous" glitches like the World 111 Glitch on this page. 10:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * First of all, it's so it doesn't make us look like we're encouraging bug abuse, especially since we follow the Runescape rules here. If we only mention them once they're fixed, people won't get so hyped up about it, and won't try looking for or abusing them. Not only that, it's also because people kept adding glitches here as if they were reporting them to us, instead of Jagex, who people should really report glitches to. We really don't want people to think "A glitch! A glitch! I should tell everyone at the RuneScape Wiki about it!". Instead, we want them to think "A glitch. I should tell Jagex about it, so it will be fixed." You can even look at some of the talk page messages above, where some of them look like they're reporting glitches to us. Not only that, this can also help prevent people cluttering the page with non-notable glitches as well as ones that we don't need to hear about (just look at this section, for example). Sorry if this doesn't sound very clear to you; I'm not good at these kind of things, and this was probably the best way I could put it. -- 17:56, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well said Drummer. Also, with the introduction of RSHD, many, many graphical errors have been creater, that are so minor or pointless, that there is no real need to have them. Personally, I think the page should either be solely about performance glitches or split into Glitch/Performance and Glitch/Graphical. Graphical glitches will always happen, but rarely ever hinder a player's performance in the game. Glitches that hinder performance, in my opinion, derserve to be included and discussed.  18:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that only performance glitches and abusable glitches should be mentioned (once they're fixed of course, so we don't get anyone in trouble). -- 18:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not abusing the glitch if it's something as minor as moonwalking! I see people using emote glitches all the time? Are they breaking the rules? 19:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No, because they're got gaining anything from it. Telling minor glitches between friends is OK, but posting about them publicly on the wiki isn't. -- 15:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Why? 04:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Can we put glitches on the glitch page that cannot be abused? (ex.- a costume glitch, where someone's head is turned backwards because of something they're wearing) We wouldn't get in trouble if the glitch was non-abusive. 04:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you go to "Report a Bug" to Jagex (under known glitches), and other places (i.e. Official Forums) they call some glitches ".. more like features" because there is no way they would put enough code to cover every instance of something so minor as floating across the Ditch... I believe if Jagex can call these "Features" than we can post about them.  Also, we cover ALL bugs.  Jagex fixes big bugs within hours if they feel it necessary..  The moonwalk glitch has been there since the beginning of RS2.  Obviously they don't care and it's "cool".    13:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, we only cover notable bugs (such as ones that got J-mods involved, abusable bugs (once they're fixed), and ones that hinder the gameplay of alot of people), otherwise this page would just be full of clutter. -- 19:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So the Dorgeshuun crossbow special attack glitch hinders gameplay? And the Crazy Head glitch as well?  Wait, since when were you the one to make the rules on this wiki?

I want to re-open this as it's highly controversial and I think a complete consensus needs to be made. I feel, personally, that this main page should be only performance hindering glitches, or simply glitches that are not graphical. Also, I feel that Glitch/Graphical should be created to post graphical glitches. They are interesting to read about, and since RSHD is still relatively new, there are many of these types. I agree that posting glitches that have not been fixed by Jagex should not be allowed.... for performance glitches. I don't think anybody could possibly be banned for a graphical glitch, as that does not give anybody an unfair advantage, and it's rarely ever the user's fault. 22:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. I mean, we can list things like moonwalking and invisible bridges, but not something like a recreation of the Edgeville Massacre. 16:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the formatting, I'm not good with editing. Look, I don't care if it's a glitch that resets everyone's stats! Our responsibility with the runescape wikia is to provide information. Unbiased, uncensored information. You have no right to choose what people get to learn. Censoring ideas is NEVER alright. --65.64.200.14 02:30, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Matt H.

Crazy head glitch has not been fixed...
Just yesterday I was fishing at Karamja and I saw a female player called Buzzcap93 who was ailed by that glitch. I don't think it has been fixed yet? Rowanq25 17:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Grand Exchange "Swim Glitch"
I was recently at the Grand Exchange when I noticed a player "swimming" for about 2-3 seconds then returning to normal, above-ground stance. If anyone can give me any information on this or possibly add it to the glitches page once it's been fixed, I'd appreciate it. This is a portion of the screenshot I got of him swimming.

I also have the full screenshot if anyone would like to see it. Thanks. Scroungelo 15:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I saw this glitch performed yesterday on world 45, the person using the glitch proceeded to swim throughout Varrock, then teleport to Lumbridge.--71.176.170.192 12:25, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I believe this glitch was fixed and related to the fishing trawler minigame. How exactly it is achieved, I do not knowMjc3 02:31, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Guys,you need to think ... quit being stupid,you can't fix a glitch,because theres always going to be new ways...

Try to go back to land on the trawler, then before it crashes open the report abuse or skill menu thing. When it crashes you end up swimming on land (used to). Cheese13562

Here is a video of someone showing the swimming glitch

INVISIBILITY
so, can anyone tell me why hapi removed 4 perfectly good images showing the invisibility glitch and replaces it with his own totally overkill animation? NO NEED! the pictures where just fine for this case, there is no call for an animation, and defiantly no reason to delete the gallery that i would say better showed how the glitch can occur. edit: should it be reverted (see image and media policy)? -- 15:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Invisibility is not a glitch! All you do is either type a period and bunch of spaces and then type what you want to say or type what you want to say followed by a bunch of spaces and a period. Your words appear to hover above an "invisible" person either to the right or left of you. I fooled some noobs with this one, but I wouldn't call it a glitch. --Sword Dope 19:21, 8 May 2009

Sorry if I'm late, but I've got recordings of players turning invisible on 4 squares near the rimmington house portal a few months ago. Animations would still work, only without the player. --CXgamer 14:52, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

grand exchange
im not sure if this is a glitch because its apart of the weebsite maintenance but ill post some pics of it

Tdrone 23:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Godsword glitch via lending
I forget the exact page, but I believe there is conflicting information on a different page. Simply put, this information states that this could not actually happen. I'll try to hunt this page down, to bring a quote or two, but no gaurantees. Also, I have no idea as to the validity of either comment, so, once I find the page, I'll have to leave it up to you guys.Mjc3 02:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Stealing Creation Glitch
Hey, I ran into that once, but i managed to get out of it somehow. I clicked to talk with the dwarf in the starting room and teleported to him.

sounds like lag. unless the teleport action was preformed?

Self muting glitch
I've experienced a glitch that u can self mute yourself with, this was done during the early days of quick chat and has since been fixed, should this be added? this glitch worked by having quick chat open and then talking to the were wolf agility boss, then clicking continue, u had to log out to fix this.    floppyc5     21:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Small glitch
I've discovered(or I think I have) a small glitch: When holding a weapon(such as D-longsword) and changing for the Circus Agility event, once you're in costume your arm is still in the position for holding the longsword, but there's no weapon in your hand. Also, even if you don't have a weapon, all facial hair dissapears. Figured I should like, mention it or something in case someone wanted to add it.

World 125 Glitch
I think this is a glitch, and its on World 125, a F2P world. If you go to World 125 on World Select, it says its a 'Stealing Creation' world, when Stealing Creation can only be played in Members worlds.SharpstarofFireClan 19:27, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, on Stealing Creation, if you use the Give Thanks emote while the game is about to start, and the game starts, you will be left in the lobby.

They no longer allow emotes in the lobby, so this is no longer a problem. However I'm not quite sure about world 125. I'll check that. Megakid39 00:02, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Umm...I'm confused. I decided to check w125 out and THERE IS NO W125-128!!!!Megakid39 00:06, December 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * World 125 must have been removed/moved to a different location since SharpstarofFireClan posted that message over a year ago. 00:28, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

There is a world 125-128, but its in another runescape server (there is the english one most people know about, portugese, german and Dutch). To play on them go to runescape.com and look for the four little flag icons near the top. There should be a union jack(English server), black orange and yellow(German server), blue white and red(Dutch server) and a green one that has a blue symbol in the middle of it(Portugal server). They usually have next to no one in them, most of their F2P worlds have 100 people, member worlds 50 people, and PvP worlds 25. I regret telling you all this because i go on them to cut yews/magics mine gold/mithril ore etc. World 125 will be on one of them! Drowdrizzt 10:47, December 13, 2009 (EST)

Ah ok thanks for the info and lol I didn't realise that was over a year old :D Megakid39 05:52, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

ù== box glitch ==

guys, stop adding box glitch its not a actual glitch... you are allowed to pick up the box in the first place making it NOT a glitch...

Please sign your edits on talk pages with four tildes (~). Also, I've responded to your message on your talk page, which explains why it is a glitch. You can pick it up, but you cannot walk past the farm with it. These players have been able to walk all around RuneScape with it. It is a glitch. Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 02:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys,ill expain. The 'Box' is picked up during the quest "Death to the Dorgeshuun". Theres a limited zone where you may carry the box,which is only the lumbridge watermill. Me and friends (Im sure you know who im thinking about)tried smuggling the box by dieing,going outside and logging out... And everyone says you need to die with pots,thats not how it works(and it NEVER worked like that,you would just end up in a zombie position). Ok,so to keep the box you needed to do a fake log,which is a glitch where the server thinks your logged out.After,you needed to pickup the box and you could simply leave the area. If youd logout,you would lose the box :-( Oh and when you log back in your a zombie XD. hope you guys know more about it.Ohh,and its not 100% fixed.

Tree glitch
There is a tree of type tree to the west of falador east bank in a group of three. it is the one on the far left side when facing north, though this tree has the cut down option it will not be chopped down. when clicked the player moves to it and stops. 90.240.87.241 21:19, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Breaking up page
Does anyone else think this page should be split up? Right now its huge, and at the rate jagex is going its just going to keep getting bigger. I thing Glitch should give a basic description of what a glitch is, and then list some famous glitches. It could then direct players to separate pages on Player/npc glitches, environment glitches, item glitches, and miscellaneous glitches. Thoughts? -- 00:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Fine with me. WWTDD? 00:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Great idea! The article is quite messy at the moment, so it will be great to find the one specific glitch you remembered from back in the day. Kayteen7 00:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Done! -- 04:06, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

"µ" Alt Code Glitch
Earlier this morning, there was a glitch ingame that caused anyone who saw the alt code ALT+0181 to crash. People were using this to kill other peoples gameplay by typing it, they would avoid being crashed themselves by having their public chats set to Off. One player by the name of Buzzcap93 went on a rampage throughout PVP worlds forcing players to log out, resulting in them losing their item's. It's been fixed, but while active MANY players were crashed, and while they weren't in control their acc died at GWD or PvP or wherever. Now, if you try write that alt code in game, it still will show up as "µ" but will not crash the server. Worth mentioning on the page? Trio0 04:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

censor is a glitch??
The section talking about how censor asterisks out some usernames is a glitch?? Simply how is it a glitch and wouldn't it be much better placed under a page on censor?? Evil Yanks talk 10:01, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It wasn't intended for the censor to block usernames as that makes it difficult for users to communicate with each other. JaGEx admits this is a problem and allows you to submit your name to them to have it put in as an exception to the censor as in many cases the portion of the name is something that makes no sense to have blocked, for example my username shows up as "Bartuc*io3" or "Bartu*cio3" (forgot which) instead of showing up as "Bartuccio3" as it should. I personally find it not worth the space it would take up in the censor script to have my name unblocked since only one letter is missing and it's still easy to see who is being referred to, but in more extreme cases you might have something like: (for sake of argument, this is most likely not real) Vegetarian27 show up as "***et*rian*7." This would actually be worth spending the storage space for. In any case it can still be considered a glitch that the game censors anybody's username.
 * While I'm on this topic, does anybody here know if there would be a way for them to automatically reference the database of login information to automatically un-censor usernames? I know they've done this to block your own password from being said, so doesn't this sound like a viable solution? -- 19:43, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Bugs the Ogre
I just noticed that "Bugs" redirects here.

However, "Bugs" is also the name of an Ogre, and there is currently no way to get to that page.

Easter PvP Glitch
Check it out. Does anyone know what it was? It's fixed now, apparently, so it should be added. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 10:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC) i added it as the pvp drop potential glitch. -- 00:06, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Banker Killing
I remember reading on a fansite about how some users used an infamous cheating tool to actually be able to attack bankers. The information available was limited and vague, so I was wondering if anybody here that had first- or second-hand experience could post some elaborate information or if it's already posted in an article not wholly about the glitch, direct me toward it. Some things that I think could be interesting are what the combat level and HP of a banker were, as well as what the typical reaction was of somebody trying to use a bank and finding that all bankers were dead or in-combat. RSC already has enough difficulty using banks due to the bankers only being able to talk to one person at a time and no right-click option for quick-banking, so it could be very humorous if anybody has screen-captures of some player's verbal responses to this. -- 19:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

not getting attacked glitch
shortly after the rest feature was added some monsters became unagressive and wouldn't attack you after u attacked them this glitch was enjoyed for the short time it lasted i know it happened on some worlds and not all because they updated some worlds again that day (june 9th 2009) i looked at world select at only some worlds were down i remembered worlds 40, 1,2,3, were offline after that quick fix by jagex the only monster i know personnally that did this was the cockroach soldier anyone know anything else about this plz post Manofflames6 00:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

PvP Glitch
Here is lthe video from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNIuz0giXxU&feature=channel_page

I talked to the player and apparently he can still do it, as there are many methods of doing it, he also said he had more videos on it he didn't post

Barbarian Assault Blood Rune Smuggle
Heres a vid of me smuggling blood runes out of barbarian assault

This glitch crashed the market and wiped out the economy of Blood Runes

This glitch happened by starting Kennith's Concern quest and going through the tunnel in and out until your familiar disappears.

After that you are able to going any were with your familiar such as Barbarian Assault, you are able to put Blood Runes inside the familiar, get out and keep them.

Bug Abusers got banned for this and it got fixed without a system update! This bug increased our chance of knowledge about the game.

Right click box glitch
On my way to the Great orb project I stumbled upon a glitch... dub it the Right-click box glitch!

Basically, right click something (like an attackable NPC) and walk until the next section of the map "loads". The options dissappear leaving just the "Cancel" option.

Got an image of it here:

This isn't fixed yet, hence why I posted it here for when it is. ;) 05:54, September 26, 2009 (UTC) (forgot to sign)


 * It's been fixed now but I don't know how long ago. The box dissappears when a new section of map loads. I'm going to upload it to the main page. 19:00, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

There was a evergreen north of fally
When u chopped it the shadow didn't disappear. I found it and immediately sent bug report. It has been fixed by Jagex. Here's a pic:

Should I add this glitch
And which section is it, "Environment Glitches"?

--Penko 15:47, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'd say environment glitches. It can always be moved later on if it should be in another category  16:03, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Could u or some1 else do it for me because I'm not english, I'm finnish, so it's hard for me to do it. --Penko 17:05, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Could some1 add this glitch?!
I don't write well in English (seriously), so could some1 else add this shadow glitch. There is picture above.

Player names...
There seems to be alot of player names mentioned in the article... 04:08, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * A problem with removing them all is that peole could think that the player name not showing up is itself the glitch. I suppose they could be replaced with a player spoof name... 04:13, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Selecting Two Items At Once Glitch
I found out what seems to be a glitch while i was at varrock museum where i could select two items at once, giving them both white outlines. I did this by going to the digsite bit in the museum, taking a chunk of rock; then using it on a workbench and as my character was cleaning the rock sample i would click use on it again, if i did this and it crumble as i was working on it, i would go and get another rock sample and as soon as i put it in my inventory it had a white outline around it as if I had clicked use. Then i could click use on a second item in my inventory and they would both still have the white outline around them.

I'm working on uploading a screenshot but it says its in the wrong format (ive tried .png/.jpeg/.tiff)

why do we folo jagex's rules?
it doesnt seem like a good idea to not list unfixed glitches. foloing jagex's rules in general makes it feel like a 5 year olds encyclopedia, rather then a proper wiki. can anybody give a good reason to folo jagex's rules? i dont support going around telling people to do stuff, but not mentioning something THAT IS IMPORTANT, simply because jagex doesnt want us to doesnt seem right.
 * All really notable glitches are fixed by Jagex (well stop people from abusing it) so quickly that it doesn't really give much time for people to abuse it, meaning maybe a on hour wait before the info is added. Small graphics glitches are added all the time but nobody ever really bothers deleting them since they can't be abused. In a nutshell: Glitches that can be abused are quickly fixed by jagex, so they are added quickly. Nobody normally removes glitches that can't be abused because people are lazy.  03:26, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Move to Bug
Shouldn't glitches be called bugs here, because that's what Jagex calls them? 14:53, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. That is the only thing that Jagex calls them, and it is always good to use Jagex terminology. 01:58, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why does it matter what JaGeX calls it? Glitch is standard terminology used by players for faults in the game. Jagex does not call cutscenes "cutscenes" but instead "instanced events", so why don't we use the same terminology? If you want to use the term "bug" from now on instead of "glitch" just because JaGeX uses it then OK, just make sure you rename the "cutscene" article to "instanced events" since we evidently must follow the ways of the almighty JaGeX....--Kkpl0x 05:13, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Kkpl0x, there are some cases where using the name Jagex provides (in-game names for items) would be better, but this is not one of them. It'd be a lot of work for little or no gain in terms of article quality. It's a glitch, so call it a glitch. 09:31, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, they call cutscenes, cutscenes. "Instanced event" is specifically a cutscene that is "instanced" (meaning generated away from the rest of the players).

Oppose - Glitch seems fine to me. I don't think we need to follow Jagex's standard here since it's not an official name or anything. To me, glitch sounds more professional than bug, and there is less chance for confusion since there is a Cave bug which is not a glitch about a cave, rather the name of an in-game monster. 21:27, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - If we title almost everything else exactly how Jagex does (RS:STYLE), then why wouldn't we move it? Also, no one is going to be confused by the title being bug, it redirects straight to glitch night now. -- 22:29, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Caleb, Kkpl0x and Tollerach. 01:13, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support - We renamed "Hitpoints_(historical)" "Constitution" because JaGEx did. Why not "Glitch" > "Bug"? It is the official term used by JaGEx. (Sorry, forgot my signature. :P) -Cheekun (pronounced CHEE-kuhn) 23:38, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't this considered fraud?
"Jagex also offered life-time memberships to players that showed them how to do the duplication. Several players did this, but instead of a life-time membership, all they got were permanent IP bans."

Jagex offered the users a payment in the form of a lifetime membership for the service of revealing the glitch to them (presumably so they could fix it. Instead of the payment, they received nothing and were blocked from accessing the game.

In law, we call this fraud. I understand that Jagex is a British company, and i'm not familiar with British law.

Can any1 tell me why there was no consequence on Jagex's part or if, in fact, there were? Wehttambassist 00:42, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * That sentence has been removed since the only source that can be found on it is a website that is quoting off another unknown website the biased opinion of a player that was banned. The reward thing was true, but the thing about Jagex banning the player was made up by the player as a way of getting back at Jagex I think. 02:57, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

You don't have to believe anything I present before you, but here ya go - scroll down till 'the history' + some links below that might be interesting GOOGLE (failed) translation  -  18:34, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * The first one is copied off another page which it doesn't specify. You main, latvian source stole it word for word off your last source. I couldn't find it saying anywhere that Jagex betrayed the thater that told them about it. The only other source that you have would be very biased due to (apparently) being written by someone who was banned by Jagex. That page was quoted off another website (why the quotation marks are there) which it doesn't mention... Finally, if Jagex did stab a player in the back, then why would they have made a news post about it, highlighting the fact?? There is only one very (very) dodgy source supporting what you said happened, so I think it would be a bit premature to start full-out accusing Jagex of entrapment. 05:29, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * What they probably did was give the account lifetime membership, then ban it 10 seconds after, that would be a way jagex could get around it if that person was telling the truth. DMalfoy 11:47, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Camera glitch
Should there be a separate page/section for camera glitches? 11:16, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Cannon glitch and red 0
if you setup a cannon on a corner of the steps at the gx, the cannon will float! add this glich. Also, if you use a drag dagger special attack, and both attacks hit, but the first attack kills the thing, the second will appear as a red hitsplat as if it was damage, but the number would be 0

Is this a glitch?

no more geckos for me glitch
My pet gecko ran away :( but i cant catch another is this the punishment for not feeding it? It's unfair.


 * Definately not a glitch. If you do not feed a pet, it will be starving, and run away to find food. For something like this, checking the Runescape Knowledge Base first is the smart thing to do. Bloody Llama 15:33, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Protected Glitch
I protected glitch from being edited by ip and brand new users. It seems easiest to explain it through the advantages/ disadvantages of leaving the page unprotected:

Disadvantages

 * New users can fix spelling
 * Might upload a png version of a glitch image

Advantages
06:20, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * High traffic page, being the 89th most visited page
 * No other fansites would have a page like this, so this should be where we excel
 * Of the 50 most recent edits to the page:
 * 11 are vandalism
 * 10 are adding glitches that should have been added to a subpage
 * 23 are cleaning up other users contributions to the page
 * 6 are constructive edits
 * A large majority of the vandalism was by ips, adding glitches by day old accounts, cleaning up and constructive evits by a mix of new and old accounts.
 * By protecting, it encourages accounts to place the glitches where glitches are meant to be placed.

Support - When an article is protected, I assume its talk page is not. If this is the case, I don't see why the IP/new users can't post the glitch on the talk page. Wiki has many users; I'm sure there would be people that would go over the article and correct spelling/grammar. In addition, I agree that older players would have to experience to not vandalize, add the glitches in the correct categories, etc. If this is where we excel, why not excel even more? Other fansites don't have this problem because only authorized people have permission to edit the page, this is our weak point. One could argue that this is our strong point, as a diverse enviroment of people are allowed to add information; however, the facts are against us- 42% (Vandalism and misplaced additions) of the 50 most recent edits are rather negative, 46% (Cleaning) are positive overall, but would be done by anyone speaking English; and the remaining 12% (Constructive edits) are positive.

Dungeoneering Anti-Dragon shield glitch
My friend somehow got a dungeoneering version of the anti-dragon sheild outside of the game and can trade it. It could be because of the rollback and appearntly the shields got glitched, should this be added to glitches or something?

(April 21st, 2010)

I have a picture...but I dont know how to add it....



Edit: figured it out :)

Resting Glitch
Does anyone else remember the glitch when resting first came out, where while resting, the person's body that was resting would face you everywhere you ran? I remember that glitch, but noone told me how to do it. 01:08, May 1, 2010 (UTC)



Sitting down glitch
March 1st 2010

In the g.e. some guy was resting and floating on the ground somehow

Massive RC xp
Uh should i add this. when me and my freind where getting our dungennering lvs up we found out u can do runecrafting and in 45 seconds we both had lv 35 runecarfting!

While we were doing it there was this big system update that logged evryone out when i logged back in my runecrafting was lv 5 again! Then i did dungennering again and i could only get my runecrafting up to 7 or 8! I guess this means some dumb person told Jagex and fixed it! Stupid!!!


 * Yes, there was such a glitch, but Jagex did a 30 minute rollback to the point where this glitch first showed itself, because getting 100 xp per rune isn't very fair to those who trained it properly, now is it? 21:22, May 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * It was worse even than that. Previously, players could enter a dungeon, sell everything there, buy rune essence, craft runes for 2kish exp in a minute, then leave the dungeon, and repeat. So, Jagex meant to divide the exp by 5. Take fire runes - previously 7xp per 10 ess, meant to go down to 1.4 per 10. Instead, this ended up as 14000 per 10, meaning the 1k or so ess you could buy upon entering the dungeon would give 2.8M exp. Because that's totally fair.

They didn't even make an update; just pulled the plug on the servers, cutting everyone off, and made a rollback to the precise moment the glitch was added. Took 2 hours to rollback and update... 21:50, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Someone with ability to change..
on the world 111 section, this line of text really annys me, "This bug remained on RuneScape for about an hour and was fixed immediately after it became known to Jagex. The repercussions of this glitch are still being felt today, as some of those banned and/or killed owned rare items such as partyhats and other Discontinued rare items. The removal of the players meant the rare items were deleted also." The reason so being that it would have had little to no effect on the price of rares, so i ask it is removed please. DMalfoy 11:53, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Also please edit the last part, it reads " player couldn't log out of the game not to the lobby either a few servers also went down the same day" please change it to "when players tried to log out theyd recieve the message"lost connection, attempting to re-estyablish" when trying to log out to the lobby. This glitch is still unresolved Edogrey 16:09, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hmmmm... if you see something that needs fixing, feel free to do it yourself. I will look at it too.

Sgt Hailfire 14:21, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Overused
The phrases "This has been fixed" or "This hasn't been fixed" are way overused in most articles containing glitches. I doubt a consensus is needed, so I will work at rewording them.

Dungoneering enter glitch
Encountered.. yup. 15:06, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Floating head glitch
Yeah, I saw this a little bit ago. And I'm pretty sure it was the same dude too. I thought it might be a penance equipment, but I checked and it isn't. Undead H3r3tic 02:00, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

The Floating head glitch appears when you equip a soul wars cape, a face mask, and have long hair... it is simalir to the penance equipment glitch.

Dungeoneering - Monster Limit Glitch
This happens when a dungeon has reached its limit in monsters. After it's reached monsters are invincible (they're there but you can't see them). They start attacking you but you can't attack them back even with Auto-Retaliate on. It generally happens in large rushes where you only kill the required amount of monsters, leaving the ones you don't have to kill behind.

This is a major problem for Guardian Doors as you can't kill the required monsters to move on. Also, in boss rooms, the boss doesn't appear.

This can be solved by killing other monsters in the dungeon to balance out the limit, or by logging out and then back in.

Dungeoneering Glitch and Bans
Can anyone shed any light on the recent dungeoneering glitch in which players were able to get 2x the amount of exp on a certain floor?

Also does anyone have any info on the players who were banned and why? There is a big stir on the RSForums that there were 100's of unfair bans dished out to the most elite dungeoneerers.
