In Loving Memory

I owe a lot to Gene and Deb - they helped kickstart my software development career letting me volunteer as a Site Admin over the years and definitely took a chance in letting a then-14 year old create and run the RuneHQ Clan. I can only imagine how often I was a thorn in MrStormy’s side, but I like to think we both benefitted from each other’s stubbornness, and ultimately I believe it paid off with just how much amazing content RuneHQ was able to develop and release over the years. It’s sad to see them gone, but the memories the community made together because of them will live on for years to come.

Thank you Deb and Gene for years of guides and info about our favorite game.

Rest in peace.

Thank you for your service. You are and forever will be remembered as our go-to website to clarify any question in this beloved game.
Thank you for paving the way to a better and helpful community
Forever in our hearts ❤️

I used this website for everything from 2006 right up till like 2024, I will never forget it.

I enjoyed it... a lot...

Never really played RuneScape but I came here to say game recognize game.

Thanks for so many years of helping me when I was a child playing RS. The thoughts of coming on this site when I was younger make me feel warm inside.

Between RuneHQ & Tip.it, I always had an available resource in my teens to rely on. The information especially on RuneHQ was amazing and I was always appreciative of the time and effort the team went through to produce it, especially in the early days. Thanks Deb & Gene and the team.

RuneHQ was fundamental to my teen years! I joined the forum on my 13th birthday and forged so many friendships in my early years on the forum. Was my go-to for RS stuff back when I was super active. I got my first (and still my only 99 after 20 years of playing!) because of advice I got through RuneHQ. I got my degree based on people I talked to on RuneHQ. Devastated to hear about both Gene and Deb who were both unwaveringly kind and cultivated an incredible community that I still think about fondly to this day. Thank you to everyone on RuneHQ for the incredible community you managed to make and the incredible memories that I still think about to this day almost 15 years later. Also a special shoutout to Lester and his brother who taught me about how grammar worked in the IRC channel back in the day - your explanation is still the difference I think of whenever I type them out!

I remember the very first day I logged onto RuneScape. It felt like I’d stepped into another world as a kid. I also remember the first day I stumbled upon RuneHQ and how much it helped and changed the game for me. RIP to 2 absolute legends and pioneeers of the RuneScape culture.
