In Loving Memory

Sad to see it close, best monster database and quest guides. What do
I do now? Will use it til it closes. Thank you!

Ive played RS on and off from when I was 12 years old and this was always the website I came back to get help along the way the guides and everything always helped me so much very sad to see this go :(

Before I became staff, I used this site for years to complete quests and calculate stuff for potions. It was a major part of my life. Later, I had the opportunity to become part of the community. This site has been an amazing part of my life. May RHQ rest in peace

I was introduced to the site by a former neighbor and still hella chill buddy of mine when I was getting confused over... Haunted Mine, I think? The guides here gave me a good push towards getting some must-have mid-game milestones in the early 2010's.

At the same time though, I saw most of the RS community as trolls, scammers, and bots. And my anti-social tendencies, combined with my mom instilling a lot of internet paranoia unto me, didn't quite help the matter. But then clans became a thing and I was like "Hey, I know that site!" and joined. Met some of the coolest internet buddies I still chat with here and there like Im Your Cat, James Rhodes, High Vortex, Sliver, Rednar, Bertie, and much more. Been there for the good, some of the bad, and the weird like when Double D Edd got mad that I broke the calculator in IRC by dividing by zero.

They say we can't have nice things, but there are at least good things, but unfortunately, they all must come to an end.

I don't know what comes after the end, but I hope Gene and Deb are smiling more with every goofy joke we crack left and right.

Goodnight, RuneHQ'ers.

What to even say, not really a day anyone would have thought would come around really. Well, the website really introduced me to a lot of things, in 2009 I became a Radio DJ and learnt how to stream my own music to a website (Even hosting a 10 hour loop of Friday - Rebecca Black when it was April 1st), to how to edit new posts and moderate forums. My second run as a forum moderator under James was when I really got to grips with how much the website really meant to Gene and Deb, Gene had just returned and dragged everyone into TeamSpeak for a massive staff meeting, which in the end resulted in myself not sleeping until 8am the next day. His passion for the site, and how much love Gene and Deb both had for each other, was inspiring for us all. As someone who joined RuneHQ over 20 years ago, and became staff around 17 years ago, life has it's way of drawing you back no matter what direction you head in. I have no regrets over my time spent on RuneHQ, and would do it all again in the next lifetime. Save me a beer up there Gene, I'm heading to your table when I get there.

I never had the chance to meet Deb or Gene, but RuneHQ was a big part of my RuneScape experience for many years. Its guides and calculators helped me countless times. Years later, I joined the team as a developer, hoping to help update the site I had used for so long. Although my time there was short, I’m grateful I had the chance to contribute what I could. RuneHQ will always mean a lot to me.

I never met Gene, but I heard lots of stories about him. I regret not being able to get to know him. I have chatted briefly with Deb a few times and found her to be a very nice lady. They will both be missed greatly.

Very sad to see you go; without your help.i may have to quit rs! lol

A long time ago I was a part of the RuneHQ clan and events team before I went off to college. I got my completionist cape in 2015 posting my progress on the forums by using RuneHQ's quest guides. I had plenty of fun hanging around in the IRC and Teamspeak (or was it Ventrilo, my memory fails me a little). The IRC crew helped me get my 120 dungeoneering back when it was the only 120. I loved dungeoneering but wouldn't have a full squad nearly as often if it weren't for RuneHQ. We got so many hexhunter bows together and helped so many people get them too. I also wouldn't have found a love for high level bossing if it weren't for the Teamspeak (or was it Ventrilo) RuneHQ fellas first teaching me Araxxor and then frequent Vorago, Raids, ROTS, etc. When I came back to the game I had 84 Vorago kills and no idea how to beat him. Thank you to Double D Edd, Kassandra, Prelations, Darvin, Witch King of Angmar, many more I am forgetting, and of course, Kunio, my former neighbor and great longstanding friend who helped me reacquaint myself with the new discord and events team. Maybe the site is going away but I hope to join more events in the future and play with Kunio and the rest of the gang for as long as I play Runescape.

This is extremely sad to hear your closing the one and only quest guides from the of days, I’m truly gonna miss this place and I have had so many happy adventures thanks to this website, thank you to the team behind it and I hope you all have a great future knowing you have helped so many with this, I don’t know you but I love and adore you all
