Falador Massacre

The World 111 Bug Massacre was an extreme violation of the Bug Abuse rule that occured on June 6th, 2006, where many people lost valuables. It is possibly the most infamous event in the history of RuneScape, and many people find it ironic, possibly superstitious, that it occured on the date 06/06/06.

The Glitch
The "World 111 Bug Massacre" was a massacre preformed mainly by Durial321. During Cursed You's level 99 Construction party, a bug was discovered. This is how the bug worked: you go into his dungeon, attack someone, and teleport out, after doing so you are able to attack any person, anywhere in RuneScape. Durial and some other people unknown discovered this bug and decided to take advantage of it.

The Massacre
When Cursed You chose to expel all his guests, he unknowingly caused the beginning of the massacre. Durial and the other people started attacking random people in Falador; Mods began yelling "Deposit all your valuables and teleport!!!" There is much controversy on exactly how many people were killing. Many people who witnessed the attack claimed that Durial "pked" a full set of party hats; however, he only got one green one. After chasing multiple people with his whip, he decided to ice barrage them all. It is not known exactly how many people died in all, but it is known that Durial claimed more than 2 range sets. The massacre was only about an hour long, according to Durial himself in a private interview.

Edgeville was also attacked on a similar scale as Falador it would seem. People fled for the wilderness and out hoping to turn the bug off. More players were killed. Players from Falador also came to seek refuge from the massacre, this made things much worse. This attack was performed mainly by Jo0r 4 h4x0r and Thriller989. This was a fake attack; the players attacked had killed themselves with rock cakes just as they were smacked with rubber chickens. It was the wrong time to fake the massacre, though, since Durial321 and others were slaughtering players in Falador at the time.

Small crowds attacked Catherby, Seers' Village and Varrock as well.

Aftermath
The Aftermath was simple; the bug was fixed, Durial and the other people were permanently banned, Cursed You temporarily, no rollback, and no items returned. This aftermath caused many people to quit RuneScape. Mod Peter, himself, apologized to those people who lost items. Many people think that Durial and the other people's actions were "the best way to quit RuneScape, or get banned", but others believed that their actions were downright-insane at the most.

In the case of Jo0r 4 h4x0r and Thriller989, nobody was banned. Several players knew this was fake, and some wanted to play along by killing themselves with rock cakes (and sometimes nightshades).
