Diango

Diango is a merchant who was released as a part of an April Fools' joke. Players had been requesting horses in the game for some time, and were excited to find out that Diango was to be added to sell "horses" in his store (Diango's Toy Store) in Draynor Village. However, Diango actually sells toy horseys, which are not rideable and are mostly useless. Many players were furious with Jagex for deceiving them in this way, and some were banned for using offensive language against the company due to their anger and disappointment. He has, however, since gained more functions, the most prominent one being able to return lost holiday rewards and selling or giving special commemorative items.

Updates

 * 4 April 2005: Jagex had announced the release of "dragon plates". What was actually released were spinning plates with a picture of a dragon on them. A conversation with Diango revealed that they were supposed to arrive on the first of April, but thieves stole them because they mistook them for Dragon platebodies.
