Ah, the Wilderness. The RuneScape location that makes or breaks the game. No player can ever forget when Jagex removed it from the game. The absolute uproar, the decline in players, and eventually the poll to bring it back. Now, there are a large variety of reasons to enter the Wilderness. The obvious is that it is the area to player kill, but also to collect resources and skills and participate in distractions and diversions. Wilderness Flash Events are one such distraction and diversion in RuneScape, and there is a range of events to participate in.
