Runescape 20th anniversary kicks off with the Grand Party event and nostalgic quests
Iconic dream MMO Runescape celebrated its 20th anniversary today, January 4, and developer Jagex will roll out some nostalgic events throughout the year as part of"one of OSRS gold the [match's ] most content-rich decades ever."
The main version of Runescape is becoming a brand new event known as the Grand Party now, featuring beloved NPCs such as the random event Sandwich Lady and the party hat-wearing Wise Old Man. The Grand Party will dish out a package of fans, as well as an anniversary cape and outfit. More anniversary content will arrive throughout the year as part of their four-part questline Once Upon a Time, which Jagex explains as"a celebratory romp through Runescape's past, current, and also a glimpse of its future." This will start on January 25, also will operate together with the Elder Gods arc planned for year.
Speaking of Runescape's past: Old School Runescape, the alternative and proudly retro variant of the sport, can be getting a few anniversary material. Beginning this Wednesday, January 6, OSRS players can team up with the Green Gnome Child for"a trek through the original haunts of RuneScape to unlock the protagonist of Memories and struggle with dragons and demons, finish with rewards including a 20th Anniversary Cloak plus a Gnome Child devotion for player-owned home chapels." I choose to believe that this is Jagex's plan to formally enshrine one of this game's most recognizable (and memed) characters, and I'm not taking questions at this time.
Outside of the games , Jagex will also release some anniversary merch, and buy RS gold for me the headliner is a gold vinyl pressing for 24 hand-picked Runescape tunes, including the one and only Sea Shanty 2. Additionally, comic book Dark Horse is partnering with the studio for a history of the match's first two decades.
