Cry is the sixth listed emote. It is automatically given to a character when they create an account. It features players' characters putting their hands to their faces and crying.
When the emote first came out, players would shed tears as well as put their hands to their faces. When the emote was redone in July 2008, players told Jagex it looked a bit over-the-top, so Jagex changed it to a look more realistic.
When done against a wall it would look like a player crying against the wall.
