Disk of Returning

The Disk of Returning is a discontinued item that was used in conjunction with the Black Hole experience, where banned players were frozen inside of, made an example of and spectated by players who were not stuck there. It could be bought from Thordur for 10 coins. The disk allowed players who were not confined to the Black Hole to visit the place safely.

History
The Black Hole and the Disk were subsequently removed when Jagex became aware of an exploit/scam, which was performed to the benefit of a banned player. The player stuck in the Black Hole would tell the victim that something cool would happen if they were to drop their disk. The banned player would then pick up the disk and teleport out leaving the innocent victim stuck in the Black Hole, and allowing the banned player to return to the game.

After constant abuse, the Black Hole was removed, yet the disk of returning was not. It is now a highly valued and increasingly rare item. Despite once having a purpose in the game, it is now considered a Useless Item, other than the extremely high value it holds on the market.
