The Disk of returning was used to let players exit the Black Hole in RuneScape Classic. At the time a non-player character called Thordur sold them for 10 coins, while now they sell for an astounding 10,300,000 coins. This item is the oldest rare or discontinued item in the game beating out the pumpkin as this disk was created back in July 2001.

People that were banned were put into a hole and trapped there until their ban was over. A lot of people got themselves banned just to see the hole, so Jagex made a mock hole and created a disk to let players out once they went in. These items are high in numbers but only a few people have them. These disks cannot teleport players in or out of the Black Hole as the Black Hole no longer exists.

It was removed because a lot of banned people convinced some people who were visiting the black hole to drop their disks, because something "cool" would happen. This was a scam that would trap those players in the black hole and trap the victim, forcing Jagex to assist the player out. Throw-away accounts were also made by banned people, with the sole purpose of buying a disk of returning, drop trading it to the banned person, and then allowing them to escape. This ended with Jagex having to rescue the lot of people who fell for this scam, and so Jagex removed The Black Hole along with the disk shop.


NOTE: Please don't yell at me if this is in the wrong section please tell me and I will ask for it to be removed.

 

haha, thats such a terrible idea... People could get a friend to buy them a disk, and get out of a ban? lol!!

 

That's uberly awesome. I've always wanted to know detailed history about it.

 

Lol. How would they get it to them though? And thanks Kiabin.

New about this already . Wonder how many are left

 

I just want to know what the black hole looked like.

 

I'll get a picture.

 

Thanks for sharing this story with us it is 1337.

 

Here is a picture of what it looked liked:



it sucks though. You get 2 coins for Alcheming (wrong word ) a 10mil item.

 

hah wow. I always imagined it of being like a zoo or something. Thanks .

 

@the alching thing, it's always like that for rares, stops it being easy to sell and I guess making quick Money by alching when the price rises.

 

Lol its a black hole and the place is black. Thanks for the picture.

 

No Problem to everyone. It not my picture SO ALL THOSE PEOPLE KNOW. >.> Anyway a Zoo is cool. But like monster instead of beavers and that sort of stuff. :laugh: :laugh: Haha...

 

There wasn't a mock hole, it brought you to the real hole. And players brought other players runes to port out.

edit:And any area outside of the map looks like that.

 

Ok. I got this from Runescape.wikia. I Thought It was interesting. I just wanted to share it.

 

rofl, thts really cool ive always wondered what it looked like.

 

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/War_ship <--- Oldest non tradeable discontinued in RS, I think.

 

Just sounds to me like you just got or have this item and is over obsessing about it, just saying seeing your avatar and signature, but yea, just another useless item.

 

Ah, the days of half-baked plans. Jagex hasn't really come very far with development since then XD They still have just as many flaws.

 

Nice post man, i remember my friend talking about it, but i thought he was lying lol, now i know wat it is and what the disks are for! thanks >.<
