Falador Massacre

The World 111 Glitch, also known as "The RuneScape Massacre," "The Falador Massacre", "The World 111 Massacre", "The 666 Massacre" or "Runescape 666", was an extreme violation of the Bug Abuse rule that occurred on June 6th and 7th, 2006, where many people lost valuable items.

The Glitch
During Cursed You's level 99 Construction party, a bug was discovered. When Cursed You expelled all of his guests, the people in the fight arena were given the power to attack anyone, anywhere, as the victims could not attack back. This bug was caused by the sheer number of people at the house at the time of the expulsion, as the World 111 server could not handle the traffic, so the ATTACK option remained outside of the house. Several people discovered this bug and decided to take advantage of it.

The Massacre
Durial321, among other people, started attacking players in Falador; player moderators began congregating, encouraging all players to deposit their valuables and teleport. Also, certain players travelled through the world pretending to be the 'massacre party' who travelled with Durial321 in the video telling him to kill. The main areas affected by this abuse were Falador, Rimmington, Edgeville, and Barbarian Village.

The Loss
There is not a record of item losses, bug abusers, or victims of the massacre. Many people who witnessed the attack claimed that Durial321 won a full set of party hats, but the green one was the only one visible in the videos. After chasing multiple people with his whip, he decided to use Ice Barrage. The event was only about an hour long, according to Durial321 himself in a private interview by RuneScape player Ratsacker (under the alias "TheRat"). In the interview, Durial321 claims that he had only received one party hat, a green party hat, during the duration of the massacre. He also stated later in the interview that before he was permanently banned, he foresaw the action and gave the party hat to a friend for safe-keeping, who did not return it when asked for.

Less popular videos on the massacre have shown Player moderators being attacked.

Aftermath
The bug was fixed, and Durial and the other attackers were permanently banned. Mod Peter himself apologized to the victims, but no items were returned to those who lost them.

The players in the 'fake massacre party' were not banned, as they didn't use the glitch, and were just scaring away the players (which was considered highly controversial in players' opinions).

The event was heavily publicised with sensational videos spreading across the internet, showing the frenzied crowd of spectators encouraging Durial to kill. The event is regarded as one of the most significant events of the RuneScape community, alongside events such as the party hat duplication glitch.

Cursed You was eventually permanently banned for reasons unrelated to the glitch, specifically real-world item trading.
