Sometimes you have to wonder what goes on in the design rooms at JAGeX. I have never heard of, or run into this before nor do I see a point to it.


What other odd stuff have you run into lately? Pics would be nice...

Random event designed to kill the auto-camelot-teleporters.

This was mentioned a few months back I think.

In either case the random events are imaginative, but not really amusing, so they become irritating in the end.

if jagex had some sense, they would make night and day, specific to each server group(chicago, australia). that would be cool.
jagex + imgaination = a bunch of crappy random events

Truer words were never spoken. Like the stupid frog princess one. A couple dozen frogs hopping all over and you have to find the one with the crown. It's like playing Where's Waldo only with moving green pond scum.

Well they have to have to have some sort of imagination to make a game like runescape... :-\

Some are annoying (Mysterious Box) but I enjoy some of them. They need to take out random amounts of GP as a reward though, not worth it. I like the frog one, because I <43 the Prince outfit . Anyways, make the stuff with the Highwayman and the M.O.M. have decent rewards all the time IMO.

I had that one ages back, not too long before it came out. Also, I'm level 77, and I've never had a mime. Is this normal?

Define normal. I don't think your level has anything to do with it as I'm 103 and I've never had a mime or Dr. Jekyl or several others I've seen. I've had a grand total of 3 mazes. The rest are mostly those stupid boxes asking for the color of the shape. Bah.

The randomness of random events just doesn't make sense to me. I can't count the number of times I've been fishing along with the same 2 or 3 other people and they might get 4 or 5 events in the same time I might get 1 or none. It's happened to me at the ogres, fire giants, dagganoths, etc. where we're all in the same area for the same amount of time and they get random events whereas I don't.

So yeah, many random events are new to me and this one struck me as odd.

And Twilight? How do you define a decent reward from the mysterious old man? I get sapphires or approximately 130 coins. Once, I got a cosmic talisman. Of course, that was a couple of months after I got tired of waiting for one and bought it.

The only random event I have any use for is the genie since I use the lamp on prayer each time.

I do believe that half the random events were the result of Jagex having a little fun and/or drinking.
