In Loving Memory

I really loved being apart of the team back in the late 2000's-early 2010's and briefly reconnected with a few people a few years ago before life got in the way. I've mostly moved to WOW these days over Runescape but RuneHQ will ALWAYS have a memory in my heart as my first online community I was apart of in my teenage years and I still checked in once in a while to see if the site was around. Truly sad to see such a great community closing but completely understandable; Thanks for all the memories and I wish the best for everyone!

I just found out about this shutdown taking place. This was one of a few RuneScape fansites I used to help me along my noob journeys from questing to skilling. Admittedly, I haven't used this site regularly in years but I'm still sad to see it go. Farewell!

Wouldn't have fell in love with the game as hard as I did without RuneHQ.

The game wouldn't have been the same without it.

Thank you for everything.

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.
