Drop party
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Drop parties are events in which players drop items for fun, and other players try to pick them up first. Drop parties are held in the Falador Party Room. Previous of the Trade and Drop Changes update drop parties could be held anywhere, but now can only take place in the Falador Party room. As of 17 March 2009, players can only hold drop parties in worlds 131 (M), 152, 103 (M), and 102. Jagex has justified this change as a way of further combating Real world trading.
Drop parties are often advertised in the events section of the Official forums on the RuneScape website. Some scammers falsely advertise drop parties in order to obtain donations from other players to drop, but many drop parties are legitimate. Players should be careful of "drop parties" in the Wilderness, as they are most likely luring scams. Drops at drop parties may range from junk, like tin ore, to extremely valuable discontinued items, such as party hats.
[edit] Drop update
- Due to the drop changes (Update:Trade and Drop Changes) drop parties can no longer be held in areas aside from from the Falador Party Room. In this update, all players aside from the dropper will no longer be able to see an item worth more than 3,000gp when it is dropped onto the ground (even after 60 seconds, as it was prior to this update) With this update, there is most likely going to be much more use of the Falador Party Room, as most likely intended by Jagex
- This update stops players from the popular scam "Drop Trading" and trading items to another one of your own accounts. It also stops one of the many methods for Real world trading.
- This was also one of the main reasons for the World 66 Riot
[edit] Notes
- Drop parties posted on the forums often have many people there, so it is harder to get drops.
