RSClassic's Great Dupe

Cracker Party by ARC (AutoRune crew)

All I have to say about this is, I was not there, unfortunately. But this dupe completely changed the RuneScape that we know now. It used to be the exact opposite for phats as it is now. Pink Hats(now purple phats) were the rarest phat. now they are the most common. The reason? They mostly duped Pinks. Hundreds of them. So the rarity of phats was reversed. JaGeX had to hand pick and delete lots of the hats, so most of them are not in existence. and the people who made a lot of money out of it were banned. The dupers were also banned.

Don't believe that this is real? Look at these.

Think it's a fake link? Go onto http://.runescape.com/ and go into the news archive. go to the last page. start looking for stuff from November 2003. Bam it is there! Now onto our story.

"The story. Some guy (SixFeetUnder) was playing around with AutoRune (RuneScape cheat),
trying to trade a scythe. He failed. During his experiments he found out one rather interesting
thing. Any nonstackable item can be created. Well, he got very excited and told 5 other
people - me (Kaitnieks), Dylock, g0ne, Aid uand David. One of us couldn't keep the mouth
shut so in the next morning every RS player was crying about duped pink hats sold in Varrock
for 5 mill each. Naturally it was just a matter of time for Jagex to find out, so I decided to have
some fun. Like we did the other time with banker killing.Even I know that crackers and the silly hats
are the most expensive items in the game. So naturally we created those. Oh, two guys also created
and alched some drag squares. They made over 1 billion each.
Anyway, here are pictures."





"To create items, you must trade with someone. They can give you any nonstackable
item by specifying count = 0. It's fixed by now. Well done Jagex, took you less
than a whole day."

"Many people thanked me that day. I'm sure it was good for economy and people who
had no chance to get a silly hat, too bad we didn;t manage to make way more of
them."

"The background. Here are some random facts.
1) Hats and other items were created by AutoRune. AutoRune is infamous RS cheat,
you don't need to know much about it, just how Jagex said there are no cheats
for RuneScape. Did they make a mistake or did they lie to you? You decide.
Anyway if someone offers you AutoRune, don't download it, it's not being given
to anyone and what you will be downloading is a keylogger. Trust me, that is so.
2) Almost all players who created items got banned. Someone made 40 mill,
someone almost 100 mill and didn't get banned but most of the accounts did.
Especially those having 1 bill GPs and 100 sets of hats. My personal gain is
some pink hats and ~5k steel bars. Not that much eh?
3) It took several hours for Jagex to figure out the problem and fix it. During
this time they didn't do anything to stop the duping.
4) Jagex could not trace which items are duped and which are normal. That's why
only some items got deleted.
5) The situation in market is very unstable but seems like the rarest hat (pink
one, the most ugly hat) is now one of the most common.
6) Jagex did not roll back. I guess they don't really mind seeing rares becoming
less rare.
7) Andrew doesn't have sense of humor. Mod Mark does. He's the man! But
Andrew... You should all send e-mail to Andrew and tell him you love him, he's
very sad and lonely. Andrew promised Dylock lifetime membership if he helps.
Instead of that he banned his account. Go on, help the kind RS mods, your reward
will be a ban, you know you want it.

Anyway, that was fun. Comments, feedback, thanks to [email protected].

guys dont spam. and to von metternitch, the 666 fally massacre wasnt a hack lol. it was a simple houseglitch.

 

lol nice

 

i remember that day rofl. my friends and I got home from school, found out about it and shit our pants. well done lol.

 

6-6-06 wasn't a hack as someone else noted and neither was the duping process really both were just exploits of jagex's foolishness and ignorance

 

i remember this it was swweet thousands of pink hats everywhere

 

I was playing RS at this time, But I cant remember it...=/

 

I was playing it too. I do remember it and I got phats free. sixteetunder FTA plox

 

I'm a proud member of the banned crew

 

i was playing when this happened, the worlds filled up SOOOO quickly and it was rare to get there. owner of an account with 14 crackers, currently perm banned tho :'(

 

I remember the great dupe, i was one of the noobs standing there chanting "Crack me Pl0x! Crack me!"

 

I've heard you could dupe before that with "autorune" a classic and the very first RS bot on record. Jagex quickly delbt with that and now it is gone. On kaitnieks.com it has the whole story.
