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. No other cabbages moved or got the tap,kick or catch option. However all cabbages could be wielded (apart from draynor manor ones)!



There was talk of a hidden message. Mid-afternoon a jagex mod confirmed it was this: Those who were bored enough to kick one of the bouncing cabbages from the cabbage patch north-west of Draynor Village all the way to Oo'glog were thanked and rewarded with a cabbage by the one and only Brassica Prime!

Trivia

 * When trying to enter the Soul Wars lobby with a cabbage equipped, a message appears saying "cabbages are not trusted in this arena".
 * Currently wielded cabbages can be brought in to Fist of Guthix.
 * The quote "This is not the hidden message you are looking for." could be a spoof on a line in the Star Wars series, "These are not the droids you are looking for.".
 * During this event all cabbages received a graphic update.
