    Default Update 14/04/2010 Runecrafting glitch

    Runescape got updated today, and being me I was in the dungeon at the time. No one actually knows what the update was for but I came back, re-entered the dungeon, and did the normal stuff I do to make a little cash. Except this time, while crafting chaos runes, I was getting 1700 xp per essence, and my level was growing exponentially.
    Yesterday, I was level 36 runecrafting, now I'm 67
    The bug lasted about 3 minutes before Jagex finally realised what they'd done, and the xp shrank by about... 1800%.

    So, am I the only one to take advantage of that huge bug?

    EDIT: It would seem that anyone that did take advantage of it, but didn't leave before Jagex shut down the whole system (without even a warning, it just froze) hasn't kept their levels, whilst anyone that logged out just before said event has kept it.

    The news update says it should roll back by no more than 30 minutes, but it's rolled me back by about a day and a half - enough time for me to have gotten a crafting level up, rc level up, dungeoning level up and a magic level up.
    I probably lost my bound death runes that took me forever to find as well...

    Well, I've got my skills back, but I lost my Earth Staff in dungeoneering which I'm not happy about >:|

    When some of the busiest PK worlds crashed one day, they rolled back a few hours.

    I bet reflection/bcel could be used to identify boss rooms BEFORE unlocking them, or be of a greater help.
    I do visit every 2-6 months

    Why do you need to identify boss rooms before unlocking? You need to click it a second time to walk through it anyway.

    I meant if your at the beginning and don't yet have a key to the room next to you. You don't know if that room is the boss, but reflection/bcel could be used to maybe see if it is, so if when you find the key later, no need to keep going on, you can just back to the beginning to open the door...
