I used to be a big fan of hax unit back in high school. Thought it was awesome how they were able to break the game over and over.

[@Sniperboy5551]

I have actually talked to a few of them on MSN way back in around 2011-12. They are all very intelligent and bafflingly creative, it takes a certain outside-the-box brilliance to discover the kinds of things that they did. I hope that they’re all doing well, hopefully using their intellect for good (not that exploiting bugs on RS is bad) and being paid handsomely for it.

[@hotdogstandman]

@@Sniperboy5551ah yes. HF.

[@animesmartass732]

As someone who played more actively back in those days, Jagex back then really ignored the wants of the community a lot...shooting themselves in the foot every time. Ignoring the community is the only reason the EOC launched (Jagex literally muted the protests on every world).

[@HyperGolem]

This is the reason why Jagex is only a one-game company; They are too far up their own asses and never listen. It's a miracle Runescape is still going strong, both RS3 and OSRS.

[@alexfang2594]

@@HyperGolem They released a few different games which at the start did decently well considering they had no advertising. But since there wasn't just no advertising but no actual dedicated team to help support those games efficiently. The games soon died out.

[@im420back]

i hated eoc at first but now i like it. i ended up playing osrs and rs3 too lol

[@ProfessorPottsy]

@@im420backEOC is what made me quit playing, I hated it. Tbh i would’ve probably stopped anyways because i turned 16 in 2010 so I was starting to chase girls and driving so I was gaming a lot less. But once EOC came out I was so disappointed with it that it really killed my fire for the game. When I heard they came out with osrs I started playing on it again.

[@im420back]

@@ProfessorPottsy thats more or less what happened for me too lol. i only play oldschool nowadays it is clearly the better game to me.

it seems like a lot of this could have been avoided if Jagex just had an open dialogue with players. lol

[@versebuchanan512]

I feel like that's the whole gimmick with Hax Unit in general

[@Bhubnipz]

Lmao yeah this dudes totally wouldn’t glitch billions of free gp if only Jagex would hire more customer support

[@thesun5275]

Seems a lot of this could have been avoided if Roy and the group learned to take their punishment and just fucking stopped.

[@thejunkwarrior]

Jagex didn’t give a shit about what the community had to say back then because they knew they were making bank either way, and when their game started to die, they started to act like they give two shit about the community 😂

[@CrouchingGrandpa]

Jagex is so laughably egoistic that they rather watch their product burn and die than hire a single outside person to do any sort of official QA.

[@rustytoyota]

Jagex doesn't even call the shots anymore. It's the investors. Jagex is a multimillion dollar company commonly traded between investment firms. For a brief period of time they where owned by the Chinese government. Since all Chinese Companies in a sense are Government owned.

[@sternbutfair420]

I can't get over the fact he didn't get the job because he didn't have enough work qualifications. Dude didn't get hired because he didn't have 2 years of QA despite breaking the entire game multiple times over a decade. I literally can't compute it in my head it's so stupid.

[@roboutot4839]

That's why the CEO of Runescape left after that.

[@jamster2403]

There's a really insane glitch being omitted here, but I remember Roy selling me a duel arena glitch on sythe which involved dungeoneering. On the day that free trade was reintroduced, the glitch worked by creating a 2 person party for dungeoneering and having 1 of the accounts (the staker) stall the teleport by spam clicking some UI option ( I forget what it was, I was young and this was like 10 years ago). You then take the un-teleported account to the duel arena and look for a DDS fight - when your character ran low on HP or special attack during the fight, you had the 2nd dungeoneering account leave the dungeon and then your staking account would have HP and special attack replenished back to full. You're basically never losing a fight, winning every stake. I skipped school that day to abuse the shit out of it and sold a ton of GP for $$$. Shared the method with a buddy of mine, none of us ever got banned for that. Was patched later in the afternoon. Thanks Roy!

[@Justaguycalledjack]

Roy was a real dogf dogf of a bloke. Good to hear!

[@BlackMountainMan]

This was the same glitch that we used for dungoneering boosting (1-80 in a few hours, the interface you're thinking of was using the ring from dungoneering that's used to make party's and set floors)

[@jamster2403]

Svetozar Cico Blecic I think you’re right

[@BlackMountainMan]

@Jason Smith hahaha I'm actually none of those people. I worked with two teams from BA and I never actually registered on the site itself. My main role was actually on Sythe where I was trusted for 7 or so years before 2012, where we partnered with different vendors to get people to buy 1-80 DG level 3 boosts and sell excessive GP from the arena refresh glitch because we were using it from around the time people just were hitting 105-110 legit DG. So we had months to boost accounts and sell gold. I worked with a team that found the glitch pretty early on, they found the single party exploit very early on and my find was how to use it to boost a fresh account into a high prestige level xp rate. We accidentally found the health restore glitch because one of us lagged and didn't get inside on time and my friend released the stall and my friend who was outside near the bank restored 7hp and we knew we hit bank. I also was a mod on two accounts in RS2 so my initial dip into the black market sites was around 2006/2007 selling merchanting boosts, moderator referrals and some other stuff.

[@BlackMountainMan]

@Jason Smith hahaha the good days when everyone and everything was just fun and it was genuine enjoyment RIP the rs underground markets in 2021

[@MrDubs]

21:18 I'm sure that "Dear Name," left a lasting impression of the organization's endearing attention to detail amongst their applicants at the time. I would have fired back a correction as a freebie of my service on my way to the next application lol.

[@Grindhardballhard]

I was actually an applicant in Hax unit back in their prime time. You needed to be invited by a person that's already in at that time. However it was rather difficult to get into the more deep stuff they was involved in since you needed to prove yourself to be useful rather than a leecher (you needed to discover bugs/glitches with huge impact). They did numerous chaotic things in huge runescape private server communities aswell back then like near-reality and so on.

[@brotakig1531]

I'm interested in who they were on Near Reality. I was a in a staff position for well over 2 years on that server and high up too. Be It I took the role of actually helping players as apposed to donations and coding and didn't do it for rsgp.

[@kz6713]

I remember that server being listed and some that would come up but I played on zazuscape, I had a level 5 with 99 strength and attack and magic , etc, simple servers compared to jagex but yeah

[@dwazye]

@@brotakig1531 I don't know if you remember, but on Near-Reality during their prime there was bad incident where both the developer's accounts got hacked & the people who hacked them threw a serverwide drop party with spawned items while banning any staff member who was a Moderator or higher. One of the devs literally had to drive home from work and shut the server down & the server had like a rollback which caused it to go down for a few days. Huge nostalgia trip for me (I played on NR for years during college) but from watching this video + OP's context, I'm 99% sure it was these guys who did that.

[@brotakig1531]

@@dwazye Pretty sure that was John who used to hack NR. He did it heaps of times over a year. Even got a private investigator to find his address for us and that made him stop. But there would definitely been a few others who hacked it too.

[@Grindhardballhard]

@@dwazye Damn I remember that day lol. we splitted stuff between us and we started dropping at the same time to make as much chaos as possible. There was huge raid for all top servers that were exploitable that week. Servers were VERY fragile back in that time considered how they are right now. Literally the easiest things worked, you could create so much things with cheat engine its surreal (even thought it was supposed to be only visual for you and not change anything in terms of server side you could mess up soooo many things with it) Only your mind was the limit, everything was soo buggy

[@vesly990]

Re: the dungeoneering bugs - items were not usable outside of the dungeon, but the reskin of your avatar was. By spam clicking the 99 dg skill cape emote for about 5 minutes, your char would get stuck in that state and look like they had full primal / celestial / saggitarius on. The item smuggles were mostly harmless as you couldn't use the items and they would disappear if you tried equipping them, trading them, or dropping them. When pet trolls came out a market appeared for smuggled items (which could be transferred via killing the owner in the wildy) so people would feed them dg keys etc. Also the day one of the dg quests came out you could simply teleport out of the cutscene which left your character marked as "male" gender even if you had a female avatar, so we went and became bearded ladies. Some good times we had (and none of us got in trouble afaik). One of my friends said he was hax unit but I never really cared lol.

[@vesly990]

There were also exp bugs a few times like where the rc altar would give full exp for crafting runes and therefore allow for broken exp rates. Also pafts have generally been hard to control to my knowledge. Like sure you could get put into the wrong instance, but most of the time you'd end up in something useless like someone's poh.

This video is a good example of harsh punishments pushing people into more extremes. If they had a little bit more sympathy, and logic.

When right clicked, it showed Trick Status (total ____) instead of (combat ___). This made me curious and we talked for a while. Eventually he started telling me every item in my inventory. I banked and pulled out different items in different quantities to test it. He was right every time. It seemed like he had an angle to scam me in some way and I got nervous and said I had to go. I never saw him online again. Did anyone else run into him? Or see anything similar? Was this a jmod messing with me? So many unanswered questions.

[@Dislob]

I'm trying to remember a lure one of my clanmate did back then. It was not too long after the release of summoning skill. Trade restrictions were in place so you couldn't pick up expensive items that weren't yours. How I remember it working is the lurer would find someone with a partyhat or something that is worth a lot but lost on death if you had 4 or more items (the items kept on death was based on high alch price back then). He would lure them in a player owned house claiming they were doing a video or a fun event w/e. The lurer would damage the victim with a dragon dagger poison inside a combat ring and leave them at low hp. After that they would ask the victim to summon a larupia or other teleporting familiar and use the teleport option from inside the house. The poison damage would register as they teleport or after and the victim would die at the hunter spot and the one that did the damage with the dragon dagger would see the victim's stuff on the ground and be able to pick it up. He managed to get a few phats this way. If anyone remember this lure or anything resembling, I would like to have more details as I'm not really sure I remember this correctly or if it even happened at all. It could have been a cover to avoid saying he bought gold or hacked an account I dont know but I remember being mind blown by his tactic.

*i duplicated rare items and max cash stacks in maplestory mmorpg with only a packet editor, they ended up rolling the game back 2 weeks for everyone but i can personally confirm that the high you get from these gamemaster tier exploits pretty much kills the game for you, basically when you break an mmorpg so wide open that the admins decide to roll back the whole game for every single player, you have won the very ultimate mmorpg game prize, there is no bigger exploit worth searching for, you simply uninstall the mmorpg that you have completely destroyed for everyone who played it and cherish the very best high you got from it.*

While that's some what true, they could increase the size of the cash stack to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 by changing the datatype from Integer to Long, which is the 64bit variant of an integer. However, its rarely that simple... especially in the old spaghetti code of osrs.

[@useddentalfloss2484]

Interesting fact: Jagex, and other game devs, are actually NOT in the correct by striking down videos and channels for posting glitches or bugs. Even for community reasons. And if someone can prove that they made money through their KZbin account, especially if you were reliant on it, could even be grounds for a class action lawsuit against the company(ies) involved. As with any Legal business, I'm not a Lawyer. This is just theoretical discussion I had with a Lawyer, in the event of such things.

[@perinthia6829]

Unfortunately i dont believe it works that way since when making an account you agree to their terms and services, which i didnt read but i assume one of those is agreeing that you will report any and all bugs/glitches, so using their platform to make money while going exactly against the terms that you signed and agreed to can get a bit muddy in legal terms, long story short Jagex's legal team would probably be much more experienced than anyone who would take your case and worst case scenario deoending on your actions YOU could end up in hot water and face legal trouble, so it would be best to let it go for your own good

[@useddentalfloss2484]

In a case where the lawsuit was specifically about Copyright, and the question being weather or not the individual(s) who posted videos were in fact, in violation of the Copyright law(s), I'm fairly certain I'd place my bets on the content creators. There are many loopholes companies have used since the laws in Europe have changed. Many fake companies making false copyright strikes. Patches in law have already been written, clearly defining what is, and what isn't a false copyright claim, or what is a truthful copyright claim. Especially when it comes to video games and their related materials, music or movies. Basically, the biggest industry effected by these laws: Entertainment. The courts have seen hundreds of abuse cases already, and this likely won't slow down as companies make frivolous lawsuits based on Copyright claims in order to suppress the masses descending opinion, or in order to make a quick buck. Look at that one fake company that tried Copyrighting the E Chord... Abuses are abundant. The laws change to make it more fair. It ultimately comes down to who files the lawsuit first. Afterall, the burden of proof lies with the accuser in most cases.

[@realhashbrown]

Between them and Teh Box Noob, it sparked my interest in figuring out glitches in other games. I have too much time and effort put into RS over 17 years to throw it all away

[@SzaboB33]

I wonder how they can just strike a video containing RS content and manage to take it down. Even if bug abuse counts as hacking it should be okay legally to have the video isn't it?

[@perinthia6829]

Probably the same way Nintendo does it for anyone using their stuff, many companies do it and i believe it comes down to if you intend to monetize a video of a game you technically need the publisher's approval, its just the majority of companies dont care because its free advertising, same with copyrighted songs and such

[@TheTurmoilPure]

Always loved hax unit when I was a kid. Such a great video thank you so much!

[@ColonelloRS]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

The big underground teams have never been revealed, so far.

[@Dr_Disconnect]

Holy hell. I knew Zeke back in the day and were in one of my RLF RS weddings lmao. I quit during the EoC. It's wild to see his name on the list.

[@kevinram9104]

I actually liked the jullage glitch, op dds specs hella entertaining to watch in pk vids wish there was more 😂😂😂

[@thecat2547]

This was op smacking 400 400s on my 70 cmb pure

[@marraine7299]

Watch Ezud come back because of you Colo. If so, respect :)

[@Ziyico]

I've been trying for what feels like a lifetime, I still speak to some of the old Ezud guys from time to time before I gave up admin/co-ownership and let it turn into a dad zone. Trouble is the hosting was owned by an illusive figure that I can only contact via Ezud. Id love to bring Ezud back but it'll only happen when I get a response :)

The amount of trouble Jagex has caused their selves due to their shit ass customer service, has to be a gloriously long list. They screwed me on several accounts and it caused me to play the game completely differently on last couple accounts. I know hundreds of people Jagex either left in the dart, ignored them, refused evidence of innocence etc.

[@sheridanhart-tk1ld]

I mean that max stack dupe was life changing for RuneScape and for the players. Hax unit made IRL bank and the economy in R/S was destroyed

[@TheDV1Zone]

You’re a great narrator

[@ColonelloRS]

Thank you!

[@roguespectre9656]

The rotten potato fiasco reminds me of how the Elder Gods do not appreciate mortals messing with their stuff.

[@Genuinely_Vague]

Jagex watching this going, we literally created a super villain.

[@tpw13]

There was another glitch clan called Tainted Ones, they have some old videos from like 2006 on youtube somewhere.. nostalgic lol seemed so badass back in the day

[@Casprizzle]

Jagex back then was like the wild west of game devs. You never knew if they would just fuck you randomly one day and tell you "too bad" even if you did nothing wrong other than having the wrong IP address.

[@Tamilz]

Back in the days 🔥🔥

[@issa2421]

THEY VIOLATED that mod and jagex by stealing that rotten potato 💀

[@weston8751]

Incredible storytelling and incredible story!

[@ColonelloRS]

Thank you!

[@j25-i2p]

best vid yet. keep it up homie

[@ColonelloRS]

Wow thank you!! :D

[@Exlaax]

What I learned from this video: hax unit iz kool

[@MakeMaineViral]

Dont piss THAT guy off. This guy can hold a grudge.

[@SmokeyPyro]

Good video, although the statement that tick "manipulation" is bug abuse isnt something i would say, its not the way Jagex intended it back then, but its a way the game works, in tick cycles, so its more like strategic development around game mechanics than bug abuse... Especially if you see a bug like duplicating items, compared to strategically using the game mechanics and discovering certain aspects that you didnt think of before :)

[@AndrewWhite-Miller]

kinda glad to see the response from classic players cuz i was thinking the whole time like, honestly i woulda gone hard to especially if i got my friend banned who was innocent. i remember back in the day mmorpg mods would communicate with the community unlike modern online games. seems jagex was ahead of its time with its terrible costumer service.

[@LaVieBAOIM]

always wanted to be part of a group like there's back in the day...brain too smooth tho.

[@Nick-fl4mt]

10/10 vid mister colonello!

[@ColonelloRS]

Thank you!!

[@blackwng]

How can they strike a channel for a bug on their game? Not copyright or anything?

[@cIeetz]

oooooo I remember that going invisible and going pking glitch. They werent actually invisible, they were underneath the map

[@mrpeeweepown]

RSN: 2Bil Brad Love the ingame updates this channel provides!
