Outcast Sword riot

The Outcast Sword Riot was a protest that started on December 28th, 2010 following the release of The Outcast quest.

How the Riot Started
Sarixs and Emosworld were the first to complete the Outcast quest because they teamed up and worked together to get the quest done. Once they had completed it, they decided to test their weapons out. They first headed to Varrock on World 2, which attracted a huge crowd after Sarixs accidentally performed a special move with the Outcast Sword which caused everyone to do the "Strange Power" emote. Sarixs did it again, but this time, everyone noticed him doing it and started to follow him since they were all facing him. This lead to spam such as, loads of "wtf"s, "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"'s, and "WE PAY FOR PK" like during the Pay to PK riot. Moderators hadn't even bothered with the spam, and even began spamming themselves. This line was the biggest in RuneScape history, even larger than the 6/6/06 glitch. The Recent updates forum has reached up to the highest ever, 1,052,536 players. That is the amount of players that were playing RuneScape at the time. The Rants forum only had about 50 users. Then, riots and fear have started around Falador (In world 1, it was EVERYWHERE) and even Lumbridge.

The Loss of Millions
Emosworld did the Strange power emote, which killed everyone on every server. When this happened, everyone logged out, but when they logged in, they lost ALL of their items. There was a massive riot and this time, Jagex moderators came in. Jagex Moderators had noticed many people were extremely upset of the loss of their items. Jagex understood, and muted everyone temporarily to tell them that everything was going to be okay. Jagex promised to make the items free for them to recover so that they can be relieved. Players rejoiced and Jagex Mods also said to hunt down the glitchers so they can ban them with a global announcement to all worlds. Jagex then unmuted the players and they began their search.

Searching for the Glitchers
For the first time in RuneScape history, players were working together with Jagex Moderators to help find the bug abusers. Everyone has been given a special power to ban buggers or any suspicious players. None have abused this feature. Sarixs and Emosworld began to bank their swords, and teleport to Rellekka. There, they found a player and Emos accidentally forgot to bank his sword and accidentally wielded it. The player announced their location on a global chat. All the players came rushing to Rellekka with Lyres.

Aftermath
The glitchers were not banned, but the people who reported the glitch was. No reason was given, but this would be the most memorable day on RuneScape.
