Falador Party Room

The Party Room is a building in north-east Falador. This room is used to host drop parties where items, regardless of value, can be indirectly given to other players. These items drop randomly from party balloons, which players have to pop, in order for the items to appear on the ground.

Party Pete
The owner of the Party Room, Party Pete is a fun-loving character. He will dance, chat, and count down until the release of the party balloons. He will also remove 'cheap' items from the Party Chest.

Dancing Knights
Pulling the lever near the Party Chest will give a player the option of summoning the 6 dancing knights for 500 coins. The knights will dance on the tabletop, singing a song in parody of a similar scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Examine: You'd need a tin opener to get him out.

Party Chest


Players can donate items to the Party Chest, but cannot withdraw them again. Items that cannot be dropped or traded may not be put into the chest. Pulling the lever next to the chest for 1000 coins will cause balloons to float down around the Hall. Popping these balloons may yield an item from the Chest. If stacked or noted items are put into the chest, they do not necessarily have to appear in the same balloon. As an example, twenty noted lobsters put into the chest can appear in four different balloons, with random amounts in each whose sum is twenty. This feature, and the bar upstairs, makes the Party Hall a popular place for drop parties.

On occasion, Party Pete will check the chest for "junk" and take it out, so be sure to use discretion when putting items in the chest.

Bar
The bar upstairs serves several kinds of ale.

Postie Pete
Postie Pete frequently visits the Party Hall. Players can converse with him one at a time.

Party announcements
The party advertisement varies depending on the value of the items in the chest:
 * 0-50,000 No advertisement. Ten second delay between pulling the lever and the balloons dropping.
 * 50,000-150,000 Falador Bankers and Party Room barmaids advertise. One minute delay.
 * 150,000-1,000,000 Falador men, women, bankers and Party Room barmaids advertise. Five minute delay.
 * 1,000,000 or more Falador men, women, and Party Room barmaids advertise. Also, nearly every banker in RuneScape will advertise and offer free teleports to the Party Room. Ten minute delay.

The NPCs in Falador, such as the bank staff and the guards, react with excitement when a party is in progress. One of the phrases said refers to "high value items", but it is hard to tell if that is true.

The NPC chat only appears on the main screen, not in the chat box.

Criticisms

 * Many people criticized that the fact that they can receive random events while in the party room. If the player receive a random event in a crowded room, they may get teleported away and receive something less valuable if not nothing.
 * It have been discussed on the forums, if players should be able to make fires and summon familiars inside the room, as many players accidently picks up the ashes from fires or click on the summoned familiars instead of clicking on the baloons.
 * People criticize the fact anything can be put in the party chest, therefore many people put more useless items in than valuable items.

Trivia

 * During the RS2 beta, there was originally a glitch which allowed players to duplicate any item by depositing a greater amount than they had into the chest and then withdrawing it. In this way, many players made millions by duplicating rune platebodies and dragon medium helmets.
 * Players were able to close the door in the Party Room until sometime in April 2008. This was changed because of door spamming.
 * The party room was built in response to the large popularity of "drop parties". Many players were complaining about how people would cheat by just telegrabbing the item and making it impossible for other players to get anything. When built, it was just an empty building in which the telekinetic grab was disabled. When the game was updated to RS2, the building became quite a bit more structured, adding the chest, lever, and bar. The telegrab still will not work inside the party room, however.
 * The party room was originally located in Seers' Village. It was however moved to Falador during the King's Ransom quest update to make room for the courthouse. After the move it became available to non-members, and is one of the few improvements of the free version of RuneScape.
 * The NPC's around RuneScape used to never advertise any drop parties until an update in late 2007, which Jagex said was to stop people from making covert trades (especially real world trades) by attracting lots of people into the room to take the items. Many players have criticized the update, however, as it made it much harder for players to collect valuable items, which was the sole purpose of the update.
