RuneScape: Old School Gets Classic "While Guthix Sleeps" Quest

by Riley Dec 11,2024

Old School RuneScape brings back one of its most iconic quests in a new form
While Guthix Sleeps is a fan-favourite, and is getting a new makeover for its reintroduction
The new quest is available in-game as of today!

Old School RuneScape, the multiplatform and mobile-compatible version of the revamped classic MMORPG is set to revive one of its most iconic quests with a new and improved version. While Guthix Sleeps will return to the game more than fifteen years after it was first released, and promises to offer even more adventure and challenges even for veteran players.
First released in 2008 for the then-mainline RuneScape version, While Guthix Sleeps is often regarded as one of the most complex, challenging and immersive quests in the game. It was the first Grandmaster (extremely high-level) quest added to the game and arguably paved the way for much of what RuneScape is today, or so the wiki tells us.

Old School RuneScape, which appeals to fans of the classic low-poly style of the original MMORPG, will see this quest revived and improved in a new version. While it will be familiar to veteran players, it'll also be updated and rebuilt to appeal to those seeking a challenge comparable to their first encounter with While Guthix Sleeps.

A RuneScape of change
While other MMORPGs that have shaped the genre such as Ultima Online and World of Warcraft, have receded or abandoned their older versions, RuneScape fans arguably enjoy the best of both worlds. They have the modern, constantly-updated main RuneScape, as well as the retro-styled Old School RuneScape, to suit their preferences.
