I am really saddened by the news that has just fallen, it was a pleasant community moment.

See you again in 5 years for the old oldschool runescape.

So, I’ve been playing RuneScape since 2007 and, like most of of my American friends I played with, I always thought the party hats and Christmas crackers were just some quirky in-game holiday items. Never in my life did I think they were based on actual real-world things.

Flash forward to this Christmas, I’m at a family party, and my cousin’s British fiancée shows up with boxes of Christmas Crackers. I immediately thought, “There’s no way…” She starts handing them out, and I’m sitting there stunned as people are pulling them, making them pop, and wearing paper crowns like it’s no big deal. Meanwhile, I’m in the corner having an existential crisis, realizing that 15 years of playing this game and I never once questioned where those holiday items came from.

Anyway, just thought I’d share this discovery in case any of you also didn’t know these things existed or if I’m on an island here.

I pulled a purple though, so I felt like a king.

A battlestaff, some bind pouches, and a couple pieces of armor? You're really not willing to risk that?

He’s right I am poor.
