In Loving Memory

I started playing RuneScape back in 2007. After discovering RuneHQ many years ago, I was visiting the site probably hundreds of times per month. As I've grown older and the (OS)RS Wiki has basically taken over, I had forgotten about RuneHQ many years ago. While I've not used RuneHQ in many years, hearing of the passing of Deb and Gene and the shuttering of the RuneHQ website has brought back many memories and emotions. As a child, RuneScape, and in turn RuneHQ, served as my escape from a sometimes difficult living situation, and hours of endless entertainment. If not for the RuneHQ community and the work of Deb and Gene, I imagine many of my adventures across the world of Gielinor would have been much more stressful or confusing for younger me.

Thank you, Deb and Gene, for playing a part in some of the best gaming memories of my early life. Thank you to the RuneHQ community for helping younger me explore the fantasy world I loved so much a little bit easier.

Thank you

What a journey, this was my main go to for quest guides back when I was 10 years old when I no clue how an MMO functions. RIP Gene & Deb!

RuneHQ was an invaluable hub of information for me as a kid, it was mine as well as everyones I knew go to for quest information and guides. I never knew Deb and Gene, but they have made such a huge impact on the rs community, I hope Jagex honors them for us! Rest in Peace <3

To this day I still use RuneHQ and have since I was just 14 years old. I’m heartbroken that this is the final chapter, as I feel like I’ve genuinely grown up with RHQ. I had no idea the people behind it - only the immense help and role it brought to the RuneScape community.

I’ve been playing RuneScape since I was in the third grade. I VIVIDLY remember having runeHQ open every time I logged in; from quest help to slayer information: it was a one stop shop. I saw it was shutting down today on Instagram and came to pay my respects. RuneScape and the community made me who I am today, and looking back; I’m glad everything happened the way it did.

I remember using this website for skill guides & quests back in 2005.

Although I no longer play runescape it's still sad to see the website go. I remember having many latenights trying to complete quests using runeHQ & having a good time.

Thank you to deb,gene & the runeHQ team. farewell

From the xp calculator to the spot on quest guides people I never met or even knew the names of guided me on many journeys I’ll never forget.

I’ll always remember and tell people about my time questing with the help of RuneHQ! So many memories from being a child were formed with your help.

Runehq was a staple in my childhood and I never knew who ran it, but from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for everything you did for the community. Much like the passing of runehq, I too have passed on from runescape. The memories I have from when I visited this website extremely frequently are something I will cherish until I can no longer remember my childhood.

Thank you.
