We’re feeling fabulous this week – it’s the 2023 Pride Event!
Pride Event 2023
Pride events like this are our way of supporting our LGBTQIA+ players and the wider community. A huge part of Old School RuneScape is having the freedom to play the game in your own unique way. We want our players to also have the freedom to express their identity – so wear your colours with pride as you take part in this exciting event!
Our story begins in the Blue Moon Inn in Varrock, where a group of four hopeless romantics have been cooking up some romantic letters to their respective love interests, in hopes of scoring a date to the Pride march. There’s just one problem – their poems lack passion… and rhymes. Only you can save the day! Go on, show them what level 99 Rizz looks like!
Start the event by speaking to Bethan, Gregory, Tabbitha or Quinton at the Blue Moon Inn. Happy Pride, everyone!
Rewards
This year’s Pride event will last two full weeks, and you’ll be able to get your hands on three brand-new cosmetics as well as more customisation options for the iconic Rainbow Scarf!
Love Crossbow
Get some attention from your one true love with this stylish new crossbow!
Poet’s Jacket
Pride Jumpers
If you missed out on any of the rewards from previous years, don’t panic! As with any Old School RuneScape event, you can claim your rainbow goodies from Diango in Draynor.
In-Game March with J-Mods
We know that not everyone is able to attend Pride marches in person – but you can still celebrate here in Gielinor, by taking part in our second official Old School Pride march!
Here’s the deets:
Date: June 8th 2023
Time: 17:00 BST – 18:00 BST (Be sure to check out our event livestream, too! Details below.)
Worlds:
- 500 – UK – Livestream
- 427 – AU
- 476 – USE
- 435 – USW
The march will set off from Gilbert’s flower patch near the bridge west of Varrock. To take part, rock up to the start point in your finest rainbow FashionScape and follow your J-Mod of choice! Make sure you have ‘walk’ enabled to allow everyone to keep pace.
Don’t forget, there’s a brand-new chat command that lets your overhead speech appear in rainbow colours! To try it out, just type ‘rainbow:’ before your message in the Chat Box
For more information on the march, please refer to the route map below:
We want everyone to feel safe and included during the event, so please note that our Player Support Teams will be on-hand to remove anyone looking to spoil the fun. This is an event to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ players, and we will not tolerate intimidation or harassment.
The livestream will begin at approximately 16:30 BST, beginning with a playthrough of the Event and ending with our In-game Pride march. Towards the end of the stream, we’ll be rolling some giveaways for goodies, including a snazzy Pride t-shirt!
Whether you’re LGBTQIA+ or an ally looking to show your support – let’s celebrate!
