[2023] The last time we had Runefest was in 2019.

I know it's not the best time to post since almost everything is about Hero Pass. However, I just realized that we have no had a Runefest in FOUR years. It's crazy to think how long ago 2019 was. It really feels like yesterday.

The last time we had a Runefest:

• Anachronia was barely newborn. Now it is a Kindergarten-aged kid (in some countries).
• Farming and Herblore were still 99. Also, Anachronia part 2 wasn't born yet.
• Archaeology was not even released. It was revealed in Runefest.
• The pandemic wasn't even a thing (not RS related but made a huge impact on our lives).
• Bank rework was barely out of the womb. It entered the world a few days before RF.
• We still used the traditional DXPW format (3 days non-stop). The last DXP of 2019 started a new 10 day format.
• The first Yak Track wasn't even released. It debuted a month after Runefest. 14 total Yak Track events have been made in total.
• The RS3 playerbase was below 20k at a measly 17k.
• War's Retreat (PVM Hub) didn't exist. It was born a month into the new decade.
• Bond prices were ~22-23M. Now they're sitting 3x the price!
• Jagex was still being owned by a Mining Company. It was sold in April 2020.

Yep. Time flies.
