1.) Why is it when we log in we are always looking south?
When you login, you are shot down into the Runescape world from the north. Obviously you want to face the direction you are flying, so you face south. This all happens in 0.01 seconds, so you never see it.
2.) Something I've always wondered... Where do cooks and farmer NPC's shop? I've never been able to buy a gosh darned straw hat anywhere. And those pants, checkered....
Cooks and farmers have their own exclusive clothes, given to the by Jagex. Without these clothes, they would be further shunned as useless beings, so they fight hard to keep them. They even had master wizards enchant them, so the second they leave the body of a farmer, they will instantly convert to dust.
3.) What happened to Thrander?
Thrander felt that his job was boring, so he decided to go change his job. Now he is one of the farmers near lumbridge.
4.) What made the Evil Chicken evil?
The Evil Chicken is not really a chicken. He is really a noble knight that was annoyed at all the auto-ers. He new he couldn't ruin his reputation by killing these people, so he bought a 12mil potion from a mage, and now he can turn in to a high-level chicken at will when he sees someone that looks like an auto-er.
5.) How do the barrels in peoples houses have infinite beer?
The barrels are actually outlets of a huge underground lake. Long ago, miners found the underground lake, and knew they couldn't reveal it to the public. So instead, they linked it up to many barrels across Runescape.
6.) Why does everyone have such strange names?
They are not strange! Only humans on the planet Earth have different thoughts about names, so they think these are strange. Actually, Runescape names are often similar to Guy1234.
7.) What lets you teleport to Lumbridge free?
Exlar, an invisible holy mage, was saddened when he saw Runescape players killing themselves just to re-appear at Lumbridge. So he decided to start collecting runes, and donated them so that everyone could teleport to Lumbridge free.
8.) How does a swordfish heal you?
Swordfish are actually trout that got lost in underwater caves, and had cave-spikes get stuck on their noses. The cave spikes have high concentrations of minerals, so they heal extra health.
9.) How come we don't catch on fire when standing on fires?
When Runescape started, people often stepped on fires accidentally, and lost their boots. When the boot materials entered the fire, they often put the fire out, or at least damaged the fire. So then the Fire Gods got mad at the boot makers across Runescape, and they threatened to burn them, unless they made their boots fireproof. They did so quickly.
10.) How to capes of achievement give you emotes?
The Runescape mages enchanted all of them, so that they would give you supernatural powers. However, they made it so that you could only do the same thing each time, so you couldn't abuse the power. Now they're called emotes.
11.) Why does the most powerful armor in the game (barrows) break if you drop it?!
A long time ago, there were goblins that stole barrows armor from people. The master craftsmen then attached small tubes of impact-sensitive explosives inside all pieces of armor. When the goblin stole the armor, they would run as fast as possible, and to escape guards, throw it across a chain of goblins. When the armor hit the next goblin's hands, or hit the ground, it would explode, causing damage around 30-40. The reason they don't hurt you when you drop them is because the human skin is the only thing that can reflect the explosion.
