"Any chance" yes.
Guarantee, no.
All the lore team are still keen on doing it, when it's the right place for it in the schedule. I know it's been forever since we shelved it, but it's still very much in our minds.

I can assure you mod Surma is still rocking it up doing plenty of cool stuff. Our audio team work across multiple products though. but I can assure you they're still doing plenty of cool stuff. :)

Exquisite work as always.

In my personal headcanon you're correct in your interpretation. He's planning on heading there, but it's not like there isn't stuff to do on Abbinah first. Certainly he wants to connect with his people and his roots again.

Before he can help another people, he has to first learn to help his own.

Eh, heading there. But not necessarily only there. Certainly not sufficiently that I would use it against this stunning artwork.

Exquisite as always!

Like others have said, they stack. :)

Try logging in later today. ;)

I spent a few days last week working on the code and have managed to get it working on F2P worlds. It should ideally be going live with the update today.

Fix incoming to allow you to do this. :)

Are you playing on a F2P world? Currently the event is members only due the characters and locations involved. I am investigating whether it can be made F2P but currently it's members only.

Nope. Credit goes to Mod Zura, Mod Errol, Mod Pebble, myself and someone who's mod name I don't know. :D

I disagree with this statement quite strongly to be honest. Representation matters in games, tv shows, films and all walks of life. When you grow up feeling other as many LGBQTQIA+ people do, it's hard to look at the world and not feel like you are somehow wrong, or alien, or invalid. When the whole world looks like you it's easy to wonder why these things matter, but when the world looks different and you see something you can identify with, it makes a big difference.

It's not untrue when I suggest that sometimes seeing these characters in games and media can be a lifeline for people.

All of the stories presented in this event fit within the RuneScape world and exist alongside the other stories. They're slices of life that just acknowledges that our world is deliberately diverse and inclusive. They're just little memories and moments in grander stories.

But I've already had several people reach out to me to thank me for stories where they see th...

I think this might be a particularly disingenuous take and certainly a harsh way of thinking about this.

The Pride event was suggested, pushed and written by LGBTQIA+ people at Jagex and their allies. It was not mandated from any sort of business point of view. Certainly it was not intended to be a money making update. We made it because we wanted to tell some of those stories in game.

The reason it's not free to play is simply a consideration of the characters involved and the areas they need to be. Much of the F2P game is still a few years older than some of the more progressive approaches to character design and so a lot of these characters and their context simply don't exist in the F2P game. Some of the areas where there stories can be found equally don't show up in the F2P game either.

We could have made a separate version of the event only showing the F2P characters and stories, but it would effectively have been empty. We could have given out the ...

You can do this!

Can you give more details? There shouldn't be anything preventing this from happening. Can you submit a bug report with as much detail as possible please?

Have you spoken to the Curator to start the event?

These stories will appear every June from now on. Ideally we'll be adding more that will sit alongside the current ones.
