It was absolutely ridiculous... They should have gone for Siege references only. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

The Falador Massacre is one of the most iconic bugs to ever hit RS, that is not only still talked about in game nearly 10 years later, but it also has its own Wiki page!

Now at least now that ghost can be laid to rest and it has its own place in game Lore. The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

This thread is older, but today's 'surprise' event - Cursed You's 99 party and the Appearance of Durial321 in falador to kill does confirm that Jagex would be recognizing this.

I hope Fmods understand I am adding to this topic by posting today. It's quite significant to this thread!

Please let the discussion continue!

What will happen next? Will we see any items actually come INTO game from this event? 23 200ms. Founder of Jamandy52 skilling clan. Favorite skill: Construction. Love skilling. Love minigames.

Wow, I had forgotten all bout this thread

Well the Falador Massacre will get its own memorial. And it's the 10 year anniversary of one of the most costly bugs in RS history. I think that is about it though. The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

Such a disapointment....we should have been able to side with Durial instead and help him punish the skilling scum. Make it spread across all worlds and all areas of the map, so we can kick the skillers out. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

A Mighty said :
I smiled when I saw this in-game.

The lore should be that a psychopath named Durial gathered followers and attacked civilians in Falador in the year 174 of the 5th Age (In my headcannon, 1 IRL year = 1 RS year starting in 169 and ending in 181). Many took refuge in the tunnels underneath Falador, until Durial was eventually caught and killed.

Although, I can see the negative implications this would have. Namely, the sentiment that rule-breaking would end up with yourself being portrayed in the lore. Lol.

And apparently rule-breaking can lead to yourself being immortalized as a NPC!

If that's true, why not be a part of the lowly lore?
