Old School RuneScape is turning 12 this month! While the in-game event arrives next week, we’re kicking off the festivities early with some chaotic, nostalgic, and maybe even cake-fueled activities. Join us on February 20th from 16:30 to 18:00 GMT over on the OldSchoolRS Twitch channel for a celebratory livestream!
J-Mod Castle Wars: Ultimate Escort Edition
We’re taking your classic Castle Wars experience and turning it into something truly chaotic. Two J-Mods will battle it out in a special Castle Wars game mode, with Mods Kieren and Rice acting as your team’s not-so-subtle secret weapons. They’re walking, talking, tanky targets!
Here’s the breakdown:
- At the start of the game, the enemy J-Mod will yeet themselves (technical term) directly into your base to steal your flag. Rude.
- But these ain’t no ordinary J-Mods… Their HP will be buffed to the nines and they’ll be tankier than a full Justiciar enjoyer at the Inferno, so don’t expect them to be an easy takedown.
- Your mission? Defend your base by preventing the enemy J-Mod from escaping, or race to the rescue and escort your J-Mod home safely!
J-Mod Rules:
- J-Mods must walk only – no running allowed!
- J-Mods can only start moving at the 18-minute mark, giving you and your team time to build up a strategic defence.
- J-Mods can attack you back, including Chins and Barrage! So watch your back and be ready with those protection Prayers.
- J-Mods will pick their gear before the match starts – so no sneaky swaps mid-game.
- Underground tunnels are off-limits to J-Mods… unless they want to be obliterated by falling rocks.

Tattoo Shenanigans
Mods Jerv (Concept Artist) and Skylark (Character Artist) have been ink-spired by your #tattoo-suggestions on Discord and have been hard at work sketching up some OSRS-themed masterpieces. What did they come up with? A majestic Saradomin eagle? A full-back tattoo of the Wise Old Man’s luscious beard? Tune in to find out!
And lastly, don’t forget to drop your nostalgic RuneScape memories in the #12-yrs-of-memories channel on Discord! Whether it’s your first 99, that unforgettable PKing moment, or the time you spent three hours lost in the Brimhaven Dungeon (we’ve all been there), we’d love to see them!
It’s time to party like it’s 2013 – see you there!
