Durial321 is a banned RuneScape player and a bug abuser, infamously known for the Falador Massacre that occurred on 6 June 2006. During the massacre, in which he attacked other players outside the Wilderness and player-owned houses, he managed to loot a green partyhat. Durial321 was disconnected from the game about an hour after the massacre started, and was later given a permanent IP ban.
History
Durial321 began playing RuneScape in May 2005, and he enjoyed the player killing aspect of the game; in fact, he was in the player killing clan 3v0luti0n X. One of Durial321's friends informed him of Cursed You's 99 Construction party, which was taking place in Cursed You's player-owned house in world 111. On 6 June 2006, Durial321 was expelled from the house while PvP mode was still on. However, he had the ability to attack players outside of the Wilderness and player-owned houses. Wielding an abyssal whip, Durial321 attacked and killed several players, from which he managed to loot a green partyhat, Obsidian armour sets, and coins. Player Moderators encouraged players to bank their items, and members of the RuneScape development team were called in the middle of the night to help sort the issue.[1]
Several others were able to use this glitch, but Durial321 abused it the most. His rampage lasted for about an hour, starting at Rimmington, where the house party was, then proceeding to Falador and subsequently Edgeville. At Edgeville, he gave his friend the green partyhat, who never gave it back to him. Soon after, he finally encountered a Jagex Moderator, Mod Murdoch, who disconnected him and locked his account.[1] Durial321 was later permanently IP banned from RuneScape.[2] In a 2006 interview, he said that player killing outside of the Wilderness was exciting, although he felt bad for the players who lost their belongings.[1]
The 2006 incident later became known as the Falador Massacre. Paul Gower, a co-founder of Jagex, apologized for the inconvenience the glitch may have caused and said that improvements were being made to Jagex's testing and coding procedures so that such an incident would be less likely to occur again.[1]
