The PvP Glitch
By Nick on 12/04/2009
So last night the news of a new glitch spread like wildfire through clan communities. I am making this post to explain to those that were not on to hear about it, how it worked and what it was.
Do know that this is NOW FIXED. You cannot do this anymore.
In order to do it you would go to P2P and summon your best Beast of Burden familiar. At that point, you would fill the familiar up with the highest amount of items that you possibly could, and then log out and go to F2P. In F2P you would have your partner and both of y'all would have a rune weapon of your choice. At that point you 1-item each other while having protect item on. The result is a rune kill almost 95% of the kills.
How this worked, is the GP value that the familiar was basically increasing your potential by massive amounts and it made you look like you were "losing" that much when you died. For example, I had 800k in my War Tortoise, so every time I died the game thought I was losing 800k. This made my friend's kill that much better, to the point of a rune kill. You would keep going on, banking if you needed to, and kill each other.
After that, it was said that you gained P2P potential too, so you would go to P2P and do quick 26ks to use up that potential.
Hopefully that explains it to everyone. Yet again - this is fixed. I do not know if any bans are being handed out in the near future, but no one that I have talked to has been banned yet.
EDIT: This has one large effect on the clan community however. Now in F2P, if you die, everything in your familiar is lost. This means that there is no real use in having familiars when going to PKRI's as all of your items will be lost.

i always used to say that every1 who is dumb enough to abuse a glitch should be perm banned no questions asked.

People can't keep their mouth shut about glitches. And then they cry about how it got nerfed. Good old Runescape.

^^ Amen im sorry if you try to find/use a glitch to gain a advantage you deserve to be banned
it works out not fair on anyone who plays the game within the rules and earns there Xp/Cash etc the fair way.By sounds of it most people doing it were VR/DF so hopefully Jagex will ban em all!
Goodluck to the Wg members but stupid thing to do....
