Flagstaff of Festivities

The Flagstaff of Festivities is a commemorative item given to those who purchased a ticket to RuneFest 2010. Including the official logo of the RuneFest, players can wield the flagstaff or place the banner in the ground, allowing other players the option to read the banner.

Players can obtain the Flagstaff of Festivities by redeeming an item code from Diango, an option which was introduced on 28 April 2010, but was not possible until 30 April 2010 when tickets were first available for purchase. Those who have bought tickets for the RuneFest 2010 event will be emailed item codes for each ticket which they have purchased. Mod Rollins has said that it is not a definite yes or no whether people who don't buy a ticket will get a chance to get the Flagstaff of Festivities, and not to get our hopes up. The place where he has said this was in Mod Grantham's clan chat.

Controversy
A great deal of controversy has been sparked on the RuneScape forums due to the nature of the item. As it is only obtainable by paying real-world money, it is technically classified as RWT. Many players felt that was hypocritical to how Andrew Gower stated in-game would never be affected by real-world status or events.

A large amount of players are upset about the fact that the only way to get the Flagstaff of Festivites is by buying a ticket to RuneFest 2010 because tickets are only available to those over the age of 18.
