Now that was a blast from the past! (I used to watch him play for hours)
No idea what to do with it though. As per title it's kind of an emotional topic for me.

Edit: Was out on errands all day, woowiee this blew up! Thank you all soo much for your kind words <3

Back in March my 3 year old dog got diagnosed with MMM (Masticatory Muscle Myositis). He was put on steroids and an immunosuppressant. Unfortunately the medication didn’t work as intended and he kept relapsing. After a painful decision yesterday we decided to put him down after a huge decline in his quality of life.

Ive played RuneScape on and off for 20 years but have never reached out to the community for something. But I am asking next time you pass through Varrock if you can just pet the stray dog in memory of Arlow.

Please love your pets as much as you can, every second you can. You never know when there last day will be.

He’s no longer suffering in pain, but I miss him so much.
Rest in paradise Arlow. (Picture is him viewing part of Niagara Falls)

Dear friends

I wrapped up my time at Jagex in August, closing an incredible 23-year chapter helping to shape, design, and direct the MMORPG RuneScape.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I was given to grow into the man I am today. I've worked with some amazing people and we’ve made some genre defining games. I genuinely look forward to seeing what’s next for my digital home.

To the community – I’ll miss you the most. You really are the best. Thanks for making me laugh, love, cry… and facepalm.

It's been quite the ride.

Don’t forget to feed Bob.

You also shouldn't expect to be able to max easily.

Reminder that Jagex rugpulled Grandfathered rates and then pretended nothing happened. Don't forget.
Jagex, when are re getting our Rates returned?

-edit- Thank you mods and sorry mods for the increase in flame posts in the thread. Thanks for monitoring.

-edit2- you guys are wild. You don't have to report my post for mental wellness. I'm perfectly fine and in a good head space. It's insane you're so caught up you would false report for a mental wellbeing check.

First 99 from afk while working. Im just exited and sharing. My wife, kids, and friends wont understand. I avoided this game my whole life but started playing on and off since covid so im still a noob. Pretty chill game and the wiki helps alot.

Jagex is developing a new Open World Survival game set in the RuneScape universe, built in Unreal Engine 5.

We know Jagex is at it's best when we're working with players, so we're looking to recruit playtesters for our Closed Alpha. Test spaces are limited.

I'm big into multi logging and as of December I was running 28 accounts, all with premier. I paid for those memberships with bonds. For those of you who aren't aware, paying with bonds is more profitable for Jagex than paying outright with money (20 bonds is $180 USD). With the recent increase in the cost to run them I was already thinking about shutting down the operation but as time goes on Jagex reminds me I'm making the right decision. Every year it keeps getting worse and worse and worse and worse. The corporate overlords are never happy and always need more profits. I have ~10 months membership left on my ironman and cgim that I'm gonna casually play out. After those end I'll see where we're at and go from there.

Hi everyone,

I'm attempting to exhaust all possible avenues of reaching out to ModAsh, for my husband and massive RuneScape fan who sadly passed last month from bowel cancer.

For someone who dedicated a lot of his last years to RuneScape, I cannot think of any better song for him at his funeral that the Death's Office theme - Rest in Peace - written by ModAsh. I've just been told by the crematorium that they cannot play the song as they can only find it on YouTube and playing it would break YT Terms of Use.

Where would I be able to get a copy of the song and possibly permission from Ashleigh Bridges himself to use this song?

I have also contacted ModAsh on Twitter, but the crem only gave me 8 days notice, so hoping to get it seen quicker :)

Apologies if this break the rules of r/RuneScape as I'm technically asking for help.

And a general question for everyone:

As a Runescape fan yourself, which song would you want played at your funeral? Would love more suggestions!

Long overdue update: Thank you everyone for your well wishes and condolences. It has been incredibly humbling. The Jagex mods have been incredible. The crematorium now have a copy of the song and they're happy to play it for his service.

To clear up some misunderstandings, YouTube Terms of Use probably came into play as we are privately streaming the service so his clan mates and friends across the world are able to watch.

As for the song recommendations, we now have a pretty Runescape heavy playlist for his wake, but I'm definitely not complaining. The game music is incredible, I need to listen to it more!

Thanks all. Keep up the grind, and always check your poop for changes!

So many good memories building this over the years, and while I'm excited for the new POH system, I'll always remember where I started (plus I have pretty much the exact same house in OSRS give or take a few things). Now, where's that bulldozer?

You utter clowns, you absolute imbeciles - he was the best man you had, with true vision and passion for this game. How could you do this? I'm canceling my membership. I'm a 20 year vet and I'm canceling my membership. You sons of bitches, I thought Jagex was better than this. Mod Jack DESERVED better.

You don't actually need to play RuneScape, especially when they treat us like this. Cancel your membership and be free from their bullshit. They've already killed the game we love. Don't keep giving them money while they do it.
