Bring Back Those Lethal Random Events... And Those Annoying Ones!


This is an idea submitted by RSN: Alexcthegreat.

Back in the day RuneScape had random events that would actually kill the player or heavily annoy him or her if they were not at the keyboard. This is why being "AFK" was not the best idea if you were training your skills. Back then the combative random and annoying random events were: Exploding rock (while mining, a rock that had begun to release steam would eventually explode if you continued to mine it, giving damage to the player and breaking their pickaxe. You could repair the pickaxe at Bob's Axe Shop in Lumbridge), Ents (If you tried to chop a tree, it would grow arms and a face and eventually break your hatchet if you continued to chop it), Big Fish (while players fished, occasionally a large fish would take your fishing tool and throw it somewhere near you, requiring you to pick it back up), Rock Golem (while mining, occasionally a golem would pop out of the ore you were mining and begin attacking you. It was fairly strong), Tree Spirit (while woodcutting you were occasionally attacked by a high level tree spirit that would come out of the tree), Swarm (a swarm of bugs would come out of nowhere and begin attacking you), Strange Plants (A plant that would begin to grow randomly next to you, and once fully grown would allow you to pick a strange fruit from it, but if left unattended would begin to attack you with its poisonous tendrils).

Those are some of the old dangerous random events that were removed for no reason, but possibly because of player complaint? Well those players can live with it if it means bots are unable to function or at least hindered from performing at full efficiency. Thanks again Alexcthegreat, it's an awesome idea.
