Hi RuneHQ!
It's been a while.
Once upon a time a younger me, barely 12 years old, discovered this odd funny game everyone at school was suddenly playing. I ventured in and discovered a world full of intricacies, lore, skills, monsters. Oh so many monsters.
Wielded with my trusty steel 2h sword I looked for answers. What exactly is a cabbage and why is the whole of Misthalin covered with them? What's the deal with those goblins in red and green? What were those levers in Melzar's maze up to?
My questions found answers on RuneHQ, with its many guides, magnificent maps and lovely community. Years passed and my searches intensified. I became a warrior, I became a hero. Saved the damsel, saved the city, saved the universe. Without this site, I can't imagine myself coming this far.
This once mere child is now an adult, still fascinated by the many quirks of a British game, still enamoured by the work of its immense and lovely community. I owe a lot to this game, a lot to the community, a lot to RuneHQ, Tip.it, Zybez, LunaGang.
RuneHQ, Deb, Gene, seeing you go is painful, but in a sense, that's part of the next adventure. I wish you all the best, on to the next quest we must all embark!
