In less than a month, the Facebook event grew into an off-the-wall message board dedicated to jokes geared towards, but certainly not limited to, RuneScape. As of the first week of November - well after the event was set to private- the number of people attending "The day I get my runescape back" topped out at 118,000. By the beginning of October, the event grew to 76,000 attendees. What Liu did not expect was just how hyped people would get. Pinned to the top of the event was a message from Liu asking everyone to come together on the day his lengthy ban expires and get "hyped as fuck." Last September, Sam Liu, an Australian boarding school student in his late teens, created a Facebook event: "The day I get my runescape back." The event's date - Friday, September 13th 2024 - was the day that his ban of 101,219 hours, 56 minutes and 9 seconds from the massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) RuneScape was set to expire.
