Old School RuneScape’s 7th Birthday
The Romeo and Juliet quest first came out in 2001 (19 years ago!) and Juliet’s spent all her time since moping around the house. The problem is, she’s supposed to be hosting a birthday party but just can’t work up the motivation to do it. If only some kind players would pop over to her house and see if they can cheer her up. Plus, she'll almost certainly accept your help even if you skipped her quest the first time around!
Adventure Paths: Gatherer Path
This week, some lucky new players will be the first to test out the Gatherer Path, which introduces the Fishing, Woodcutting, and Mining skills and guides players to level 5 in each.
If you’d like to hear more about the Gatherer Path, check out this month’s edition of the Gielinor Gazette.

We’ve got 20 content creators from all over the globe involved, including a few familiar faces from around the office. They’ve been told they can get as unique and creative as you like, and we’ve already heard rumours that there will be snorkels involved… somehow. There’ll be plenty of chances for you to join in the fun with quizzes, games, and even auctions, so keep your eyes peeled.
All streamers will be taking donations via the official JustGiving pages, which will be linked on their streams.
All funds raised over the weekend will be going straight to SpecialEffect, a charity which puts fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them to play video games. Your donations could go to a range of awesome technology like modified joypads, eye-controlled computers, and voice-control setups.
Think you’ve got what it takes to join the marathon 48-hour stream and raise some money for this fantastic cause? You can still sign up on the GameBlast website and join the United Communities of RuneScape team here. Keep up with the schedule on the UCoR discord .
Let’s show the world what we can do as #OneCommunity!
