Old School Only Exists Because of a Combat Rework

Old School RuneScape wasn't part of some grand plan — it exists because players hated the Evolution of Combat update so much that Jagex dug up a backup of the game from 2007 and let people play that version instead. It was meant to be a nostalgia trip, and it ended up becoming its own massively supported game.

The Glitch That Became History

The Falador Massacre is one of the most infamous bugs in MMO history. A player called Durial321 found a way to keep attacking people outside PvP zones after being kicked from a house party, and went on a rampage across Falador killing dozens of unarmed players before mods caught up and banned him. Jagex leaned into it years later, actually writing the event into the game's official lore.
