    Oh in that case you want the riots, most notably the world 66 riot of '07, the climbing boots riot of '10, and the EoC riots of '12 lol

    The Pay to Pk Riot (also known as the World 66 Riot, the First Wilderness Riot, the End of RuneScape Riot, the Free Trade Riot, and the Falador Riot) was a riot that took place primarily in Falador square, World 66, in December 2007 as part of the Aftermath of the Bounty Hunter update. It began on 10 December and lasted for nearly a week. It was mainly in response to the following updates:

    • Wilderness Changes, Bounty Hunter and Clan Wars!
    • Trade and Drop Change
    • RuneScape vs Real-world Trading

    The Pay to Pk Riot occurred primarily in World 66, although there were many other riots occurring at the same time or soon after, some of the more significant including the Mod Hasmo Riot in World 18 and the Unbalanced Trade Riot in World 1. It should also be noted that the riot's name is somewhat misleading, and that many other subjects were brought up besides pking. Along with the riot, a 'mass-logoff' was held at midnight, the day that the update was announced. It is estimated that, at one point, there were fewer than 4,000 people playing at one time. Even to this day, the Pay to PK Riot is considered to be one of the largest, longest, and most impactive player unrests against Jagex in the history of the game. This is primarily because of the extensive and unprecedented measures taken to combat macroers, which had very significant impacts on the game as a whole.
