My Runescape Diary

I was training my summoning and as I returned to the bank to get my granite blocks I saw announced that there was a 54 million drop part at the party room, I have seen drop parties for 200k up to 10m and not seen one worth visiting since the anti pking and RWT trade cap protests so I thought I would pop along and take a look, I used the tele that the banker offer you instead of walking the few block to the party room (I was in Fally).

I arrived to see thousands of people all stood around hoping to get some of the bounty, lag was bad as you could imagine but I wandered around waiting for the drop to start, lag was getting worse but I guessed everyone would be in the same situation so it would still be fair, the countdown started to reach zero, I was stood ready to click and as zero was reached the computer froze, no one moving the picture still there not resorting back to the login screen as it should if logged out so I took a screenie.

There were my hopes of becoming a millionaire dashed in an instant, fighting back the tears I logged back in after restarting Swiftkit and it was all over and I returned to summoning.

From this experience I learnt that Party Pete is perhaps a crook and uses the Party Room to swindle disillusioned players out of their hard earned cash, he collects their cash and logs everyone out so he can sell the proceeds to finance his lavish lifestyle, I suspect he learnt this from the noobs who kicked players from their houses when they were poisoned or dropped items on the floor when construction was first introduced.
