A Tribute and Farewell
In Loving Memory
Celebrating 23 years of RuneHQ history
and the community that made it special.
More than a website: a home for adventurers, a library of shared knowledge, and friendships that reached far beyond the game.
A Tribute To
Deb & Gene
The hearts behind RuneHQ
Deb and Gene helped shape RuneHQ into a place where adventurers could learn, share, and belong. We honor their vision, dedication, kindness, and generosity, and the community built around those values.
“More than a website, RuneHQ was a home—and at its heart were two extraordinary people.”
Without Deb and Gene here to help us carry RuneHQ forward, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the RuneHQ website at the end of 2026.

A Farewell to Our Community
Thank You
To our visitors, members, guide writers, donors, moderators, staff, and friends: thank you for every question answered, every guide improved, every discussion shared, and every friendship formed.

It's not goodbye, just a new chapter.
