In Loving Memory

One of my RuneScape memory as child was this place!

Opening this website brought me back to my childhood. Running home from school with my best friend so we can try Monkey madness again with the help of the QuestGuides! After many hours of bad English reading comprehension and many trials and errors we finally made it!

We were hyped for the pictures in the guide to help us understand the objectives. RuneHQ was like a second home to me. helped me navigate a complex game with my friends.

Those early memories have now to this day inspired me to me a wiki contributor. fixing minor mistakes and adding some niche information. I cant express how much RuneHQ meant to me when I grew up and how it has shaped values when it comes to online community. If I am able to have a sliver of the impact RuneHQ had. I would be fulfilled with my life.

You have carried me through all stages of Runescape life. from Romeo and Juliet and Dragon Slayer all the way through Fremmenik trails and Monkey madness

From the bottom of my heart Thank you!

This was my go to website for many years from the mid 2000s until Eoc times. The way the quest guides and other walkthroughs were written was better for me than any other and the npc/item database was the best of its kind in those times for me. While I wasn't involved in the community around this website and the fantastic people who have built and maintained it for all these years, it was always my home for Runescape information. I'm saddened to hear of the loss of this community and its founders, while they can't see the words I'm typing or the memories in my heart I hope some part of them understood the impact this Information and community hub has had on the many players and people who have come in contact with them over the last 20 odd years.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all who made this website and community what it is.

Most of all, Thank you Gene and Deb. May they rest in piece.

Thank you for all the great memories that were only possible through rune HQ. 12 year old me thanks you from the bottom of his heart.

Thank you so much for guiding 8 year old me through so many quests. I'm 27 now and i'll never forget about runeHQ. <3

So sad to hear of the passing of Deb and Gene.

Whilst I didnt know them in any personal capacity, their devotion to the community through RuneHQ has had a lasting impact of thousands and thousands of players across the world.

From helping us complete that daring Monkey Madness, taking on Barrows or doing our first clue scrolls. Thank you so much for your time and passion. It will have a lasting effect on all of us scapers.

Thank you for your legacy.
Rest In Peace.

RuneHQ is a landmark to the RuneScape history, one that was once cemented as the go to for any and all help to navigate the game and remembered by all of the RuneScape community, even beyond the closure.

Rest in peace

Thanks for the help over the years. Whether it was from planning out my skill grind, or getting unstuck on a quest.

Sad to see a great resource retire from the internet.

This was a huge help in my gaming time with runescape, will be missed and was greatly appreciated 🙏
