It would teleport the players to many locations, including White Knights Castle and Wizard's tower. If an affected player dropped an item, it was instantly destroyed. Affected players were also unable to trade with others, nor use the Grand Exchange. The glitch was fixed in less than an hour after its discovery, and Mod Emilee issued a public apology about the issue and described its cause.
Those who were affected by the glitch later had the falsely issued offences and accompanying punishments manually removed, and were also given 20 free spins on the Squeal of Fortune as a goodwill gesture.
Some players who were affected had a number of their stats temporarily drained upon logging back in, to levels that would otherwise permanently be rolled back to if they were caught [legitimately] macroing and given a second chance.
Their base levels, however, remained unaffected. This could be treated like any other temporary drainage of a skill, such as by drinking a restore potion or simply waiting for the stats to regenerate on their own.
However, some effects of the glitch were not so temporary; for example, items that were dropped by affected players and consequently destroyed were not refunded to them.
The next day Mod Emilee confirmed the cause as a heuristic from the testing phase of the system which was accidentally turned on, and stated that barriers were put into place to prevent it from being turned on again.
Even after being fixed and reimplemented, however, the system still wasn't perfect, as there were many innocent players who were allegedly being falsely banned [ source needed ].
Beginning on 15 March , many players logging in from China and South Korea were immediately and permanently banned, [4] many of who claimed to be completely innocent.
The bans seem to have stopped [ source needed ] , but some of the oldest and most experienced Chinese players are still banned. RuneScape Wiki Explore. Ranch Out of Time Primal feast.

After receiving their second and final warning should they break the rules again, the bot avatar will be transferred to a new area called Botany Bay to await the judgment of the community. When a bot is detected, a giant dragon hand will descend from the sky and point at the avatar so that players in the vicinity will know of their guilt.
After a series of temporary bans and warnings, repeat offenders will be permanently booted from the game and sent to a remote island for destruction. Players will receive a special pitchfork item for sitting on a jury. When the inevitable GUILTY judgement is passed, they'll get to vote on the method by which the bot avatar is executed from a selection of fates that include "being stomped upon by a dragon and blasted in a ray of light from the RuneScape gods.
