Even so, I don’t want the history of this game to be forgotten as it’s the only reason old school RuneScape and RuneScape 3 exist. “Sadly, it’ll be a lot more difficult, seeing as I will no longer be able to enter the game to record footage or fact check. “I plan to continue making videos about the game due to my channels focus on its history,” Colonello said. Colonello doesn’t want to give up on the RuneScape Classic community entirely, but admitted that without access to the server, the style of his videos will have to change. Colonello, a RuneScape Classic YouTuber, is already planning his next steps once RuneScape Classic shuts down in August. “I began thinking what exactly to focus on and do with so little time left, and I’m kind of still in that state of mind.” “We all figured at some point that RSC would shut down one day due to bugs and server maintenance (the JMods made this very clear several times), but I don’t think many of us expected Jagex to formally close it,” Paul said.

Paul, who streams under the name Beast Fable, told Polygon he was “shocked and sad” when Jagex made the announcement last week, even though he began prepping for the inevitable a while ago. That’s more than a decade of playing the classic MMORPG - building friends, learning the game and, most importantly, getting to know those involved with the game through Jagex. Paul, a 30-year-old web developer in Wisconsin, started playing RuneScape in 2003, but didn’t start streaming until 2016. No one could have predicted the server’s closure. The streamers exist in their own little cocoon, happy to continue playing RuneScape.

The RuneScape Classic Twitch community isn’t competing for attention with Fortnite streamers or well-known personalities. RuneScape Classic, the original version of the game developed by Jagex 17 years ago, is shutting down, a devastating turn of events for a devout group of Twitch streamers.
