Part 2/10:
The story begins in October 2001, when RuneScape co-founders Andrew and Paul Gower decided to introduce a fun Halloween event. Players could find pumpkins scattered throughout the game, which they could eat for health benefits. The pumpkins laid the groundwork for a new gaming experience, even though players originally saw them as mostly useless. As these items were no longer spawned after Halloween, their scarcity eventually led to a valuation of around $140 each.
