In Loving Memory

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!

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

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.

I am always a late adopter of RuneScape help stuff, having just discovered RuneLite in 2025. I heard about RuneHQ in 2006 through a friend and used it for so many quests. One of my favorite people I frequently saw was "Im4eversmart". It felt awesome actually seeing his name in one of the quest guides as the playing character. Thanks for many years of teaching a noob like me how to play the game.

The day I started playing Runescape, a friend mentioned RuneHQ as the place for Guides and info. A year laterIa joined the forums to help update the info of an item on the site. Shortly after I got promoted to Concent Editor and never left since. Thanks to Gene and Dravan, I was given the trust to work my way up to Content Manager/Admin. Later on I made the switch to becom the Admin of the Events Team and the official RuneHQ Clan. RuneHQ has taught me various skills on how to lead a team along with improving my English, not my native tongue. Here, I have met so many wonderful people. May the spirit of RuneHQ live on.

I used RuneHQ for years as a kids up until adulthood. Without it I don't think I would have gotten to where I was.

Thank you for everything you did for the community through the years.

I still remember walking through the gates of Taverley for the first time after getting membership. Without RuneHQ, I would've been so lost. Thank you!
