RuneFest has officially sold out and for good reason. We're showcasing more Old School content than ever before. Not only that but we have quite possibly the biggest turnout of your favorite content creators, community figures and Old School players attending the event! For those unable to attend in person we will be streaming the entirety of RuneFest as per the schedule at the top of this page over at twitch.tv/runescape.

During the build up to RuneFest we have Deadman Mansions kicking off. We're putting up 10 of our best Deadman streamers in two amazing mansions to battle it out throughout the week; with daily update streams on the RuneScape Twitch channel, it's going to be crazy! More information regarding Deadman Mansions can be found in our previous blog post.

Don't forget the final hour of the the Deadman Autumn Invitational will conclude live at RuneFest. We'll be streaming the Final Hour live from twitch.tv/runescape at 4pm UTC.

We've got all our Deadman Mansions streamers playing on stage and the event will be hosted by Mods Archie and Sween! Shoutcasting the Final Hour we have PureSpam and Skiddler. More information can be found in the following blog post.

We're extremely excited for what the future of Old School has to offer and can't wait to hear your feedback!
