Glitch

A Glitch (also known as a bug) is a fault in a runtime (program) that causes the game to function improperly. The severity of glitches can vary. One glitch caused a player's name to appear as "null" immediately after login; another hard-to-find, yet serious bug allowed players to kill other players outside of the Wilderness. Abuse of such glitches, such as during the World 111 Glitch (which allowed players to attack other players outside of the Wilderness), is a severe offence which is punishable by a permanent ban under Rule 4 of the Code of Conduct.

Jagex recommends that if a player, or some else, finds a bug or glitch in RuneScape that they should report it to Jagex immediately, via the Report a Bug screen on the Main Page of RuneScape.

World 111 Glitch
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. One infamous example of bug abuse was the World 111 Glitch - also called the World 111 Massacre or the Falador Massacre (after where the glitch occurred). On the day of 06/06/06, oddly enough, a player named "Cursed You" held a party at his house celebrating level 99 Construction, and eventually expelled all the guests. Those in the dungeon and fight arena were able to kill anyone, anywhere. The resulting PK rampage caused many deaths and the permanent banning of most participants.

Moderators tried to tell people to bank their items and 'glory' teleport but they were barely seen amongst the mass amount of followers.

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 owned rare items such as party hats. The removal of the players meant the rare items were deleted also. This has affected the street price of said items, causing their value to skyrocket.

Monster Death Glitch
This glitch often involves the deaths of monsters, killed while fighting the player, but can also happen in areas with high mortality rates such as Castle Wars. The glitch makes the monster, or player, appear in the 'prone' dead position (after death for monsters, randomly for ordinary players). The 'dead' monster can still move, attack etc from the prone position while players can use skills etc. As the bug is a client-side problem, it cannot be fixed by Jagex.

Granite Maul Special Attack Glitch
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. All member players wielding a Granite Maul gained the ability to use an infinite number of special attacks for that weapon. A video of a player using this glitch can be seen here:

Party hat duplication glitch
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. The glitch was not an attempt to duplicate items. A player named SixFeetUnder had been experimenting with RuneScape by using a third-party program called Auto-rune in an attempt to simply trade the scythe. Although the player never managed to trade the scythe, he did discover how to create any non-stackable item. Therefore, the glitch did not duplicate existing items but instead created new ones.

The glitch was performed by trading with a player, and then using AutoRune to enter the numerical value that corresponded with a certain non-stackable item to have an item pop up and be traded to the other person. For example, the number for the Rune 2-handed sword was 81, so that value would be entered into AutoRune and the player who was trading with the one using AutoRune would be able to receive that item.

In his excitement, the experimenter revealed to very few people how to execute the glitch. These players then duplicated several items, the most expensive at the time: specifically party hats, rune two-handed swords, and dragon square shields. The most expensive item, the pink party hat, was created most amongst them. That day, though, one of these people revealed that the glitch existed.

Lean Bug
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. The Lean bug caused players to lean in an unusual way. Players could move around without any walking/running animations as if they were hovering over the ground. This was caused first by leaning on the wall in the Duel Arena to spectate. Players then challenged other players in the Duel Arena while still leaning on the wall, the player leaning would get stuck in the leaning position. After the Duel, the player would continue to be leaning outside the Arena. Although this graphic glitch did not hinder the gameplay, it was found to be a humourous and harmless glitch. But still a glitch nonetheless, so it has been fixed by Jagex and will no longer work.

Magic Carpet Glitch
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. A glitch appeared after the server went down. Because the player happened to be flying on Ali Morrisans flying carpet as the server went down, the magic carpet ended up stuck around the player's waist. This was caused by the server rollback (which happens after servers go down) and the game is set to 15 minutes before the server went down.

Stile glitch
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. If you cast Lumbridge teleport before climbing over a stile, you will not jump over the stile, but you will walk right through it. Once on the other side, you will be right in front of the stile. Then, if you repeat this, you will slide right across it.



Second floor walk on air glitch
This glitch was fixed by Jagex. In mid-2004 a glitch developed on Runescape Classic where players could ascend to the second floor outside of falador castle by standing in certain spots outside the castle and clicking a ladder inside the castle. The player would then be standing on the empty blackness outside the walls of the second floor of the castle, and could not come down. Players could walk to outside most of the areas of the free world from this point, although there were all kinds of invisible obstructions to movement in the empty space. Eventually a ladder was placed in the empty space above Varrock which allowed a player to choose to climb down to the normal play area. It is unknown if there were other areas to affect the glitch allowing to go to the "second floor" in the member's area. Many players lost accounts by getting their character to the "second floor" without knowledge of how to get down.

The glitch to get to the "upper area" was fixed after about a week, and any character on the "upper floor" was teleported to ground level when they tried to login under Runescape 2.

Lumbridge teleport glitch
Using emotes, like Goblin dance, or flap, while doing the Lumbridge teleport spell, will cause the user to stand up. The security book, or any book for that matter, will cause you to stand up during the spell, but while “Frozen”. Nobody can trade you while that book is up. Even though you appear without a book, nobody can trade you unless the book disappears. There is a “freeze” glitch, when you do another emote not mentioned above, you will stop at the next major step in the spell. To stand up and walk while doing the spell, see the Easter ring glitch article. Walking with the spell is only available to people who have done the Easter 2006 event.

The major steps in the spell are:

1. Right before sitting

2. Right before reading the book

3. Halfway into reading the book

4. Teleport ring appears, but you are not teleporting yet.

5. Teleporting “blast” appears, and you cannot stop teleporting.

Weird weapon glitch
(Player owned housing glitch).

Unfixed (?) version: This glitch created a weird way to hold a weapon. This involved the tangle vines in one’s dungeon. The glitcher would have a weapon wielded, then switch weapons when actually caught in the vines. If you are lucky enough, and won’t die, you will hold your weapon like the weapon that you were previously wielding. But, however, you cannot die in a combat ring and keep the glitch like the previous and now fixed version of the glitch.

While sitting on a throne, if you eat a piece of food, and quickly click on a skill, and the skill menu does not come up, you can move around with the throne in your house. However, if you change weapons while sitting on the throne, and eat another piece of food, you will be able to walk around again, but your weapon will be at a very odd angle.

Sunken land glitch
(Player owned housing glitch). In the southeast corner of anyone’s house with grass, the land will come to a drop on the corner. It is unknown why this happens. Previously, standing on the sunken land would protect you from the owner expelling you. This is not fixed, and the sinkhole still remains there.

Bank Booth Glitch
This glitch seemed to only affect a few banks in crowded worlds, and made it seem like a few players were standing on top of the bank windows, and the deposit box. How one performed this glitch is unknown and seemingly has been dealt with by Jagex.

Wilderness ditch glitch
The glitch is that if you click on Lumbridge Teleport, then click on the ditch right before you open the security book, you will stand up straight and float across the ditch.

Moonwalking Glitch
This glitch has not been fixed by Jagex. It is typically produced by standing outside a bank, directly next to the wall, while keeping a banker in sight. The player clicks on his/her minimap in a spot somewhere behind their current position. Directly afterward, the player must click on the banker. The player will move the spot, but facing the banker, essentially walking backwards, or "moonwalking." It mostly happens near Draynor village bank.

This is not reportable under bug abuse, because it does not give any player an unfair advantage, or a disadvantage at anything.

Kiss Glitch
This glitch had been fixed by Jagex in the the late summer of 2007. A player could stay in 2 squares in the game at the same time for a very short time by using the emote flap. While reading a book in front of a player it will look like they're kissing.

1.Walk slowly toward another player

2.When your one square away from the player use flap

3.Then quicky read a book then take off a equipable item

4.If you do this fast enough you and the player will look like there kissing

Zombie Hand Glitch
This glitch has not been fixed by Jagex. It is done by rapidly clicking on the "Zombie Hand" emote so that the hand keeps coming back when you move back than come forward.

Floating Object Glitch
This glitch has been around for a rather long time, and has still not been fixed by Jagex. Whenever your camera is adjusted to a certain point, the object will appear to overlap the player.

Water Waist Glitch
This glitch occurs when your character is lobster fishing while wearing rockshell plate body and legs. The bare skin between the two pieces of armour will turn into water. It may also work with dragon armour, but has not been tested.

Rabbit Hole Glitch
This glitch has been fixed by Jagex. When a player is playing Clan Wars, and goes to the North-Western part of the arena, and stands on a certain spot, the player will go under the ground. While doing this, players can't see you on the ground.

Fairy Ring Glitch
This glitch occurs when a player uses the fairy ring for transportation while an NPC is interacting with the player. When a monster or NPC is repositioned by the game engine during an action, it refers to the player's position instead of its initial position. This can work with many monsters and NPCs, with a Jackal pictured below:



Weapon Animation Glitch
Makes a weapon appear to be using a different weapons special attack.

Pest Control Swimming
Outside of the Void Knight outpost, there is a small peninsula of land and then water. There have been confirmed sightings of players actually walking around in the water. It is unknown how players were able to do such.

House Swimming
If you fell into the dungeon of a player-owned house into the slimy water, and a butler was there, if he/she offered to take you to where the owner was, when you got there, it would look like you were swimming on the ground. It is Unknown whether or not Jagex has taken action.
