Runecrafters attack!

The Story
Recently, I was training my runecrafting (I'm trying to get into the guild) by crafting Water runes (I've got the gloves, so why not use them?). As I was commuting back and forth between the Wizard's Tower and the Water altar, I saw a level 20 player run out of the altar screaming "Ahhhhh! Don't go in there! The runecrafters and mages are attacking!! Run!" I didn't really know what he was talking about, but it came to me a bit later: he obviously saw a game of The Great Orb Project. Poor fella, scared out of his wits by a mini-game. I was lucky enough to see a game of it myself later. One day, I will be playing it and scaring noobs out of their minds.
