What are these RS Teasers?



The RS Teasers are images supplied directly by Jagex and sent to us here at RuneHQ. We strive to release them to the public ASAP when we receive them. These images are for the next planned, in-game update. The "week of" is the planned release week, but please keep in mind that sometimes problems occur and an update may be pushed back a week or an update may have to happen out of order due to technical issues. Also keep in mind that RuneHQ is not a part of Jagex!

RuneHQ's Birthday Month! - Week One

Welcome one and all to the opening ceremony of RuneHQ's birthday! Each year, we celebrate the triumph of being one of Runescape's biggest and most successful fansites by hosting some of the most spectacular events you will ever see!



This day, we mark the 9th year that RuneHQ was founded as part of the Global Gaming family, and has since expanded to include many talented community and staff members that bring everyone their guides and tips for Runescape, and so in honour of everyone who has participated in RuneHQ and been part of it's brilliant community, this celebration is for you!



What better way to open up the festivities than to lead a giant parade around Runescape, led of course by our Events Team members, to show Runescape that we are a fun and powerful community!
