For your reading pleasure, I present the party hat duplication glitch. I could go into more detail, but it might start breaking Jagex rules if I go any more... Woodcutting-iconHyenastetalk 00:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow that's really neat! I wish I could duplicate items hehe. Red partyhatDreadnoughttalk
How would it break the rules pl0x? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 07:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
It was revealed how the glitch was performed. It was by forcing the client to offer zero of an item in a trade. It hasn't been possible for years, so there's no harm in letting the word out :P
Many purple phats were deleted, but only in cases where people had huge amounts of them. Jagex didn't mind that the purple phat market was destroyed because they hated the rare market anyway.
It's kind of an interesting story :)--Wowbagger421 04:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Jagex hated the rare market? I thought that by creating tradeable rares they were subtly endorsing it Chaoticar 04:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
They've said that they never intended to make the rares market (when they released the drops they said "while you could sell them to other playewrs, that's not in the christmas spirit" or similar) but I've never seen an official source for Jagex actually hating the market. People just assume it. 194.80.21.10 13:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Classified as glitching or hacking?

Since third party software was involved, shouldn't this qualify as a hack and not a glitch?

They used hacking to exploit the glitch, so it could be classified as both.
