Old School RuneScape, the beloved multiplatform and mobile-compatible version of the classic MMORPG, is set to revive one of its most iconic quests in a fresh, revamped form. The fan-favorite quest, "While Guthix Sleeps," returns to the game over fifteen years after its initial release, promising even more adventure and challenges for both new and veteran players alike.

Originally launched in 2008 for the mainline RuneScape, "While Guthix Sleeps" is renowned for its complexity, challenge, and immersive storytelling. As the first Grandmaster quest in the game, it set a new standard for high-level content and played a significant role in shaping the future of RuneScape, as documented by the game's wiki.

Old School RuneScape, which appeals to fans of the retro polygonal style of the original MMORPG, will see "While Guthix Sleeps" not only revived but also refined. While the quest will retain its familiar elements for long-time players, it will be refreshed and rebuilt to offer a challenging experience that matches the thrill of the first encounter.

A RuneScape of Change

Unlike other pioneering MMORPGs such as Ultima Online and World of Warcraft, which have either faded or moved away from their original versions, RuneScape continues to offer the best of both worlds. Players can enjoy the modern, continuously updated mainline RuneScape as well as the nostalgic, retro-styled Old School RuneScape, catering to their preferences at any given moment.
