2005 April Fools

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

The 2005 April Fools' Day event/joke was the second joke released on the 4 April 2005. Diango was again involved. In response to suggestions and calls from players for a "Dragon platebody", Jagex stocked dragon plates at Diango's stall for 100 coins each. But rather than a platebody, they were instead Spinning plates. Most players were expecting the joke due to its similarity to the previous year.

[edit] Trivia

• When the plates were released, if the player dropped them (which randomly happens, but frequency decreases on practice) they would break turning into broken plates. Therefore the player needs to buy another plate. In response to numerous complaints, Jagex made the plates unbreakable after 3 days of release. The broken plates players had kept were not destroyed or transformed though, turning them into a fairly rare item.
• Although Dragon platebodies were not available at the time of the joke, they were eventually released years later.
• This is the only April Fools joke/event that wasn't released on the 1st April. Instead it was released on the 4th which overshot the real event by 3 days!
