9 June 2009 game engine update glitch

9th June Glitch
The 9th June Glitch happened on 9 June 2009 at around 16:00 BST after RuneScape was updated for the "Rest" feature. Jagex also made significant changes to Agility and the way run energy is calculated, as well as changes to Slayer and Runecrafting. Just minutes after the update, players were experiencing a huge variety of bugs, and soon the RuneScape forum was overloaded with bug reports and confused players. One of the earliest reported glitches were that you could not run and eat at the same time. Not all glitches were experienced by everyone, leading to the speculation that some may have been exaggerated, if not just plain made-up.

Banks
Many banks became inaccessible, the most notable one being the Grand Exchange bank. If a player attempted to talk to a banker, they would get the error "I can't reach that". Zanaris bankers would give you a "Nothing interesting happens." message when you tried to bank.



Retaliation
A selection of NPC's would not retaliate if hit, making even high-leveled monsters unaggressive. This led to people soloing the Corporeal Beast, going through the Fight Caves extremely fast, killing the King Black Dragon with ease, and killing the bosses in the God Wars Dungeon, as they had no worry about dying. This also resulted in many expensive drops from monsters like the Corporeal Beast.

Other Glitches
Some of the glitches included:
 * Crystal Chimes wouldn't cleanse warped creatures.
 * People couldn't take off armour.
 * You couldn't inspect evil trees.
 * You could only train ranged or magic next to a foe.
 * The POH doors disappeared. Glitchpoh.jpg
 * Ava's accumulator didn't work.
 * You couldn't train Hunter.
 * You didn't automatically go west when you firemake.
 * Summoned familiars were invisible.
 * You couldn't bless Gravestones.
 * Void knights were invincible.
 * Penguins couldn't be spotted.
 * If you triggered a Pyramid Plunder trap you would get stuck and die in a matter of seconds.
 * You couldn't complete or leave Random events.
 * You couldn't set up the Dwarf multicannon.
 * Bankers were facing sideways.
 * You couldn't jump on the Basalt rocks to get to the Lighthouse.
 * Random events were appearing in the space where the bankers stood at the Grand Exchange. This has been happening since the update and still is now.
 * Hopper controls in windmills, including the cooking guild, no longer functioned, and "couldn't be reached".

Item Lending "bug"
Some time after the System Updates, players started claiming that items they lent were not being returned. After investigation, Jagex found out that the "bug" was actually lies and misconceptions.

Even though Jagex said that they wouldn't need to do rollback they did on World 64 crashing on the same date.



Aftermath
Some players went so far as trying to get people to riot in protest. With the new rest feature, "sit-ins" around the G.E. and banks became popular.

Even after Jagex attempted fix the glitches, many others kept appearing. After a fourth system update (a total of 5 for the day), it seems most issues have been resolved.

Many players are complaining about the fact that Jagex has refused to roll-back to before the update and to punish the people who exploited the glitches as it is a violation of the rules. Some even made videos of themselves soloing the Corporeal Beast and getting expensive drops.
