Last night, my very good friend was killed by a drunk driver who smashed him head on, killing my friend instantly. My friend was an avid runescape player, i actually met him through runescape and ive known him and his cousin for the past 6 years of my life. He might have not had all 99's but thats not what he cared about, he was a big quester and got quest cape multiple times since they release new quests here so often. What im trying to say is, this game makes memories, and i have plenty of amazing memories of my friend with this game that ill never forget and he will always live on through these memories. I miss you man, rest easy, and i promise one day ill finally kill araxxor. Even if its not with you, i know youll still be there with me when i do it.

Edit: Thank you all for the support, it really means a lot to his family, his friends, and me. Theyve all seen this post and are very happy of all the kind things youre all saying and all the support youre showing. Runescape was a part of both his and my life for well over 10 years (we both have vet capes) and we wouldnt want it any other way.

From my own personal perspective, I've known him the past 6 or 7 years and we met on runescape. Since then, ive talked to both him and his cousin pretty much every single day for the past 6 or so years, and have had plenty of hours put into numerous games including runescape. He was more than a best friend to me, he was like a brother, and same goes to his cousin. We spent so much time together its just really hard to accept that he isnt here anymore.

Thanks again for the love and support guys, not just from me, but from everyone he was close to.

To anyone who thinks im karma farming, youre actually sick in the head. ive had this reddit account for over a year and this is practically the first thing ive ever posted and got this much attention from it. We all know the only thing you care about in your life is your karma score but id be glad to delete my reddit account to prove you wrong. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT KARMA I CARE ABOUT LOSING MY BEST FRIEND OF THE PAST 7 YEARS AND SHARING THE STORY OF HOW PEOPLE IN THIS GAME CAN MEAN MORE THAN ANYTHING SO NEVER LET GO OF THE MEMORIES

You call it karma farming, i call it having an actual caring community, which is what all of runescape has, whether oldschool or nxt.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Cherish the memories and focus on the good times. Remember him as he would like to be remembered and slay Araxxor in his name. He believed in you and so do we.
