Null

Null is a name some people would see from time to time in RSC. It was a rare occurance, usually when moving between areas like going up and down stairs. One strange part about the sighting was that the "n" at the beginning of the name was lower case, where names in RS are always capitalized automatically.

In fact, "null" was just the default setting for all names. Basically, it meant that the information on the player hadn't loaded yet and, since it didn't yet know the name, the computer just assigned the value "null". This occurance was almost completely removed in the "Game engine upgraded!" update on 16 May 2006.



In RSC it was possible to log in as null, in which case you remained a null until you did something which made your character load. Not moving between loadable areas, but equipping items, Etc.

The name "null" will overlap text in the chatbox.

Null items


An item also, can be called "null". It means the same at the top of the page, the information of the object didn't load. Strangely the "null" object's name never changed. The examine text of a null would be simply "It's a null."

If one types in 'null' on the quick chat, oddly this item can be said.

Null scenery
In Legacy of Seergaze, players repair a furnace. For a time after the quest was released, players could stand on the story above, and see the furnace through a hole in the floor. They could right-click on the top of the furnace (which registered as non-interactive scenery), and the menu would include the option "Examine null". This was reported to Jagex, and may now be fixed.
