2009 April Fools

The 2009 April Fools event was released 1 April 2009. It involved cabbages in the event. If a player tried to pick one from a cabbage patch, the cabbage would come to life, say a random phrase (such as "All hail Brassica Prime!"), and hop around, or you would pick a cabbage seed. The players could tap, kick, or catch a cabbage. Once they were caught, they could be used as a weapon, thrown to other players, or be eaten. Players needed to have Accept Aid on and both hands free to chuck a cabbage. Draynor Manor cabbages did not work. On the same day, Jagex removed the Rest option on the energy icon to the left of the minimap, which it had added mysteriously a week earlier. Players were puzzled about the meaning of Rest, and the Runecape forums had many threads speculating about what Rest might do. "Hehe!" Mod Emillee responded evasively to a typical forum question about the meaning of Rest. "I can't tell you, but I can say that it has nothing to do with sleeping bags."
